What's Up for the Weekend

First, let me say I had a great day yesterday (one of the wash, rinse, repeat days).

Massage - oh so good.  I booked another for next week.  I still have 10 in the "bank."
Closet - finished!!  Looks good, feels even better.
Book post - finished and posted :-)
Chores - yep, list is complete.

And ...

... Exciting news about PODCASTS.  Apparently, that app on my phone that says Podcasts is exactly how you find and listen to podcasts.  Well, duh.  No wonder so many people listen to them - it's EASY!  That's how I got my closet cleaning finished - Jen Hatmaker For The Love podcast with Glennon Doyle.  Good one BTW.  Now I'm hooked.  Now I never want anyone to drive with me in the car.  Podcasts all the way!  Makes me want to go get stuck in traffic!

I wonder if they're all free?  I need to check into that, but I have enough now to get me started.

As far as this weekend, here's the scoop:

I have no idea what to do today.  Hubby is gone for the weekend and I have the bed to myself - yea!  I want to add something fun to my day, but with my dang ankle, I'm not sure what's an option.

Saturday is the Farmers Market.  I think I'm going with no dogs.  Just relaxing, walking, cold brew coffee and some fresh produce.  Then I need to hit the kitchen to bake.  Probably an at-home movie or starting a new series on Netflix.  Have you heard of Insatiable?  I hadn't, but someone recommended it.  I don't know what it's about, but heard it's wildly inappropriate and funny - right up my alley.

Kids are coming over Sunday for dinner and apple pie and dog visits - triple fun.  I need to decide by Saturday if I'm planning to drink (Brooke Castillo's podcast #116-118).  I'm leaning to no, but I want another day to think about it.  I want to think about it, but I'm not anxious about it or obsessing over it -- this is such a great tool for me.  That's actually why I haven't taken a minute to think about it - I'm totally relaxed that either decision will be okay.

All is subject to change if Jack needs to be picked up from mid-town.  Fingers crossed - you got this little man!

I'm continuing my work and my faith that I can build a stronger tribe, deeper connections, better experiences.  Faith in the universe coming through is the biggest challenge for me, but I'm feeling good about it.  It's new to me and I'm still learning how to manifest it without forcing it or feeling anxious about it - faith that I'll figure it out.  See ... that FAITH thing is a big deal.

Yesterday, I ended up running a couple of miles on the treadmill in a progressively faster push until the end was fast (my version of fast!).  Then abs - yuck, but necessary.  Warm-up walk before and a dog-walk after.  Back to the unknown today.  Probably a leg lift day with a long dog-walk.  I'm trying to give it rest, but I really, really, really want (and need) to workout.  It's ever-so-slowly improving.  It hurts when I walk or run, but it doesn't seem worse after as long as I limit myself a bit.

I have a couple of new shopping finds (thanks to me and thanks to, you guessed it, Instagram influencers).  Once it's all arrived, I'll do some pictures.  Fun stuff!

Happy Weekend!  Later gators.
