It wasn’t hot today. I mean it was hot, but it wasn’t I-can’t-even-stand-to-be-outside hot, so it was BEAUTIFUL. I got up early and slipped out for a run before M left for work. I haven’t run in almost a week and I was definitely feeling it today. My legs felt so tired and sluggish and I really had to push to finish. I DID finish though, so I’m proud of that. This morning I took the kids out for a little photo shoot. I try to get updated photos of them each summer, and I am SO happy with how they turned out!! They were so cooperative today–and I definitely…

I love this time of day. All three kids just fell asleep, M ducked out for a quick run and I’m sitting in a quiet (and clean! WOO!) kitchen with a cup of herbal tea. Life is good. Today felt really busy, but at the same time I feel like I got NOTHING done. I woke up on fire and got beds stripped, laundry on and last night’s dishes done by 8:30am. I squeezed in some easy yoga, and I’m happy to report and my hip is back down and back in order. I’m hoping to try a light run tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed. I have been so utterly unmotivated…

I’m back home after a whirlwind trip to see my parents. I didn’t want to get caught in cottage traffic again, so I left this morning before it got bad. I’m glad I did, as two Tornado warnings beeped through on the radio (thankfully, not for my region). They did signal that a decent storm was coming though, and I’m so grateful I was off the road before it hit. It rolled in really quickly, and M took the kids outside to watch the clouds roll and build across the sky. Within a few minutes it was raining sideways and I’m pretty sure I saw some hail mixed in there.…

I am currently curled up in the big blue arm chair at my parent’s house. That might not seem like a big thing, but for me it kind of is. I haven’t really driven much since the pandemic began. I’ve driven to and from the grocery store for pickups these past few weeks (I was only doing deliveries initially) and have popped out for the odd errand, but mostly we’ve stayed close to home. We filled up our van for the first time since MARCH two weeks ago. In all of this, I haven’t been on a big outing with just the kids. I haven’t really driven on a highway…

It’s late, but I’m here! I was going to write earlier but I got totally wrapped up in a movie Netflix recommended to me. They don’t always get them right (uhm, Warrior Nun?), but The Duchess was spot on. I loved it but it also made me SO ANGRY. It’s a good combo. Remember how I made that post a few days ago about how yoga is healing me, and my back and hips are the best they’ve ever been? Guess who is sitting here with one hip hiked several inches high than the other? *sigh* To be fair, it’s been MUCH more manageable than in the past so I…
