Spanish Success (!!)

Yesterday was a GREAT day!  It started with a walk/jog -- 2 miles of each again, but I went out late and it was already over 80.  Not smart.  Man, I was zapped after (and all my Oura stats confirm today).

Lunch was so much fun.  Youngest and his GF.  The food was amazing and I spoke Spanish to the hostess and server THE ENTIRE TIME (!!)  It was awesome.  People were kind about it and big smiles when I spoke (probably a mix of being happy and finding it funny, but I'll take it).  I see where I have some holes to fill (forming questions still gives me too long a pause), but I did it.

Emailed my Spanish teacher and got kodos (a little teacher's pet thing).  Went out on a limb to suggest a class field trip -- she ignored that part, but I put it out there lol. 


Unexpectedly pretty on the inside.

Los tacos pescado.
Incredibly good -- on
homemade corn tortillas

No curbside love, but then
the inside was cool with
lots of art and vintage pieces.

Ate inside (only option), but only one other table across the room.  Not bad -- glad we went for a late lunch.  They get hit at weekday lunch hours and all weekend.

Earlier in the day, I did a thought download on every idea I could think of to learn Spanish.  One was Spanish podcast.  Turns out there's a great one -- simple stories with translations on her website.  I listened to it the entire drive.  I downloaded a few other podcast options, but they're over my head too much.  This one is designed for simple auditory comprehension -- that's my level right now.

So much FS stuff and it felt like a fantastic day.  I'm totally glad I did it and super proud of myself.  Every single time I live a day of FS, it's a great day.  Lesson noted.

As far as today goes, a hike scheduled with my friend who's canceled twice.  She didn't touch base to confirm (and I didn't bother -- oops a little passive aggressive after 2 cancelations).  I'll see what happens this morning.  I expect it's all good though.  After today's hike, I'm going to need a rest day.  Just a little bit of jogging and bam, time for recovery.  

Hubby invited the kids over Saturday for a grill out so I need to plan a meal.  Looks like I'm gearing up for a fun weekend.

Here's Monti when I got home -- he needs reassurance after I've been gone a chunk of time.  Love this little butt.




Can I do ANOTHER great day??  Not as superpowered as yesterday, but I expect it'll be a nice day.  Hope you find the same.  Later gators.
