Hubby came home last night and left again for a big trade show through next week. It's not often he travels over a weekend. Somehow that feels strange to me even though most days are indistinguishable since the pandemic started.
Full swing routine starts tomorrow -- today is the last of the recovery days after the last two weeks. It's my regular routine with allowance for not cooking today lol. Since I'm on EMPTY everywhere (pantry, frig, freezer), I don't want to shop and cook today. I'll buy something prepared at Trader Joe's and get back to home cooking tomorrow.
I set up the rest of October with a few little social things, a weekend in Asheville and lots of outdoor time. I have a couple more things to check out, but keeping the rest of the month easy paced.
One thing I learned over the pandemic was to stop RUSHING everything so much. Enjoy the process (of cooking, of meal planning, of walking the dogs, etc). When I have a full calendar, I jump back to rushing things and so much seems less enjoyable. Days become task lists between big events.
I LOVED the 2 weekends away. It was nice to see old friends, socialize, change things up ... but I miss the pace and quiet of a regular week.
And, I need to clean up my eating -- too much cheese, too much snacking, not enough regular meals, barely enough veggies. I feel so good when I eat well and so junky when I don't.
It's kind of like I need a detox -- body, mind and spirit. I'm still working on how to enjoy BIG things and stay feeling well. I did a lot of things well, but the sheer number of days away took me outside of the "zone." It's hard to turn it around again. My goal is to get to a point that I don't have this kind of rollercoaster. Making progress, but on the snail trail.
Oops, my computer needs to be plugged in so that's all this morning.
Have a great weekend. Later gators.
