Today is our 28th anniversary. Pretty sweet -- that's a lot of life together. We dated 5 years ahead of getting married (33 years together) because we were YOUNG. We're doing nothing special this year. We don't often celebrate the non-big years -- just go out to dinner or a movie. Not a possibility this year, so we decided on a pass. Horseback riding is postponed so I guess that's our celebration as soon as we feel up to mounting a horse LOL.
The house is clean, the weather is beautiful -- we'll have a good day. The kids are coming over to take the dogs for a nature walk. We were suppose to go to them so I have nothing planned or any food available (grocery shopping tomorrow). Last minute Annies, those two. This time I didn't prepare an alternate plan because .... boundaries and, frankly, I don't care. This was "their" day to plan and the ball is dropped. I sound bitter, but I'm not. It's just how they operate and this time I didn't step in to "save the day."
I'm physically A LOT tired (also a lot of mental stress too -- not hard to guess why). I think the new workout routine combined with housecleaning and lots of cooking has left my body in an adjustment mode. I was so tired last night and had nothing thawed to eat, I skipped dinner. The thought of cooking and doing dishes was too much. (I ate a big, late lunch so it wasn't that dramatic - hah.) If I'm too tired to feed myself, I absolutely too tired to entertain for a meal today.
Today is a treadmill run, but I might need to scale back. I'll see how I feel when I start -- hard to say since I'll be using muscles differently. BTW, I LOVE being tired from hard workouts and physical activity. It's very satisfying and long overdue. I need a bit more rest this week though -- cleaning put the old bod over the edge.
Next week is shaping up to be one of those RUSHED morning weeks -- every single day but one. WHY?? Good lord, it's not that I try to do this. Grooming appointment (one scheduled, one rescheduled), dentist (have to go early), contractors for final home fixes (always early morning) and an errand for our rescue (needs to be morning too). I need a little BREATHING space and downtime. Sunday and Tuesday. Holding that space for space (!!) I think a resting kind of day on Sunday will rejuvenate all the things.
I'll end with these cuddle pictures with Monti. He loves to cuddle while I sit at my desk in the morning. Like the new pjs?? It's a nightdress over joggers and I love them. Other than the loud print, they are perfect for backyard time with the dogs -- no one can see nothing lol! I got them almost a year ago and never wore them last winter.
Have a happy weekend and stay well. Later gators.
