Hello :)

I think I chatted about this before ... keeping my FUN for the day in MY CONTROL and not attaching too hard onto outside things that shouldn't hold a high value (but have in quarantine).

Case in point yesterday -- I'm so glad I started changing this up.  Phone call scheduled with my friend who has had to cancel recent times together (for very good reasons).  I would've called THIS my fun for the day and put all those cards into the phone call.  Long story short, it was delayed and then was barely a phone chat.  Disappointing "catch up," but it would've been more like devastating with the way I was attaching hard to these "social" moments.

So what was my FUN?

I finally did a solo hike.  Almost 5 miles because I got lost twice.  Ugh.  The physical landmarks were different from the last time I was there -- water erosion, trees down, detours.  It was confusing.  At first, hiking alone was exhilarating.  After the second time I got lost, rolled my ankle AND was running low on water (my bad, I know better) I was a little panicky.  Add a fawn who was following me (beautiful, but it scared me every time I heard her running through the trees) and I was relieved to be finished.  Relieved, but PROUD.  This was out of the box for me.  Alone in nature is scary to me.  I'll absolutely do it again, but carry MORE water.  I didn't take pictures because I wanted to move as quickly as I could.  I was limited by my heel, but I was able to get a good workout.  My new Hoka hiking shoes worked super well.

Speaking of workout.  I tried a beginner yoga class from OBE.  Here's my complaint about every beginner yoga class I've ever taken aside from Bob Harper's classes.  We do basically nothing but simple stretches ... then ... BAM ... leg up, bend in half, twist, lift arm, twist more, hold up toes and balance for 40 seconds.  It goes from ZERO to 100.  Bob Harper keeps it simple, but still effective.  I like the OBE classes, but I guess the yoga is out.  I gave up on the class and did my own thing.

My foster is coming today or tomorrow if he can hitch a ride.  Confusion from the rescue -- ugh.  I can't do a pick up from the far away vet until Thursday.  Apparently, he's an owner surrender and he's a biter at the vet.  Poor little dude.  We'll love on him and, hopefully, get him feeling more secure.  

My drinking glasses came from Crate & Barrel and they are fabulous.  Big, with lids and easy to hold.  These are considered "bar stock" so they're inexpensive.  Double win.  P.S. The glass is the fizzy water from Trader Joe's.  It's made with real fruit juice and I love it.  Far more flavor than most.

That's it from here.  Early groomer drop off for Monti this morning.  Little guy HATES it and he might come home to his first foster dog.  Big day.

Looking for my happy, as usual.  Stay well.  Later gators.
