And HAPPY 500th POST!!
Wow - what a match up! I only noticed yesterday that today would be my #500. Big day in my cyber world and in my real world!
Hike, picnic, dinner and presents - that's my day today. Picnic food is prepped, just some assembly needed this morning and the coolers iced. Dinner will hit the crockpot before we leave - another batch of carne asada. Eldest and his girlfriend are coming for dinner and cupcakes (watermelon) and this was an easy choice. Maybe some for the freezer this time!
I sliced the watermelon last night and ate the "edges" with dinner. I LOVE watermelon. The beloved center pieces are waiting for me today. Stuck on a desert island and only one food ... watermelon would make the top 5 ... good watermelon, that is. No half ripe even enters my radar.
The hike is a big one today. I don't remember the mileage (I'll find out today) but it's steep and rocky. And then those 600 stairs down. By the end, your legs are shaking and you are weak in the knees. Awesome leg day! It counts as a workout. The waterfall is a beautiful bonus. I'll take pictures.
I'm also excited about #500. I never thought I'd journal (or blog) this long. It's like my daily therapy, sometimes twice daily (I think my record is 4 in one day 😜). It helps me organize my thoughts, work through my stuff and notice my day a little more. I reread some stuff (and cringe at the typos) but the reminders are good. The general theme is diet, exercise, my dog and needing space. Not exactly poetic stuff, just ME. I like having a presence in the cyber world. I like reading other blogs, some mega-blogs, some regular daily life. It adds a dimension of connection to people. Sometimes it's easier to be myself, have crazy thoughts, perseverate on my same issues with "strangers." So thank you cyber world for my FREE therapy. I'm a better person for it.
Now back to my BIRTHDAY! We watched Concussion last night. Will Smith is great (on a desert island - he's my #1 lol). The movie was really interesting. A bit long winded, but worth the watch. We also finished the second season of Red Oaks. What a great show. It's been picked up for the 3rd and final season. Yea! AND Game of Thrones in a few weeks. Oh baby - can not wait!! Winter is coming - finally!
My INTENTION today is to feel the birthday LOVE. Birthdays are fun. It's nice to hear from family and friends - a reminder of the great people in my life. I'm a lucky gal and today I get reminders of that all day long. And P.S. today marks 6 months until Christmas!
