The WEEKEND!

School's finished for the summer.

It's HOT and HUMID and always threatening STORMS.

BBQs everywhere are firing up.

Watermelon in the grocery stores.

It must be MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!!  Normally, I don't need a long weekend (since I'm not currently working), but it's nice to have the help around the house with the new foster and such.

We have mellow plans which suits me just fine.  A family BBQ, a friend BBQ (at their house), a visit to our local Farmer's Market and that's it.  Dog walks, dog runs, dog playing ... you get the idea.

Yesterday, I got most of the post-vacation mess finished.  My to-do list was put to bed and all that's left is some bigger grocery shopping (but that's every week).

Next week begins a more structured workout program.  Boxing, scheduled running days with Duke and some lifting.  I'm working on that plan.

Clotted cream fudge extras went into work with hubby - brilliant, if I do say so myself.

I'm also adding some FUN into my days next week - non food fun while I move forward with my HEALTHY return.  Pedicure (after walking in cities for 13 days - gnarly piggies).  Massage because boxing.

I've almost licked this cold too.  Life seems on an upswing.  I'll take it.  Later gators.
