Strike Out

I'm recovering from the hostess weekend.  Each time we have company, I'm learning more about what works for me and what doesn't (in terms of keeping my energy).  I get to practice Labor Day Weekend again.  It's easier in some ways with the kids and harder in other ways.

Yesterday was another catch up day, but I struck out on some things.

Return to Ann Taylor (dress option for wedding) and the store has closed.  Mail option instead and I paid the $5 to have it picked up.  I super duper dislike returns so I usually order online where I can return to the store.  Not this time.

Farm stand run -- empty with no sign about picking day.  Dang.  

Ordered flowers for Sunday as a thank-you to my neighbor for letting the dogs out this Saturday and a bouquet for bookclub -- but rain means the farm need to wait and see until Saturday night if they can fulfill the order.

Three strikes.  

The Spanish extra assignment came and it's a lot.  I watched the video, wrote down the extra vocabulary and wrote the script.  Now it's practice, practice, practice -- on top of all the other new vocabulary.  That said, this assignment takes speaking to the next level and that's what I need.  I complain, but I'm actually excited about doing more.

One thing I got finished is birthday gifts for my oldest girlfriend -- we do birthday boxes.  I had one measly thing purchased and her birthday is a month away.  I ordered everything yesterday and that takes some pressure off September.

Read some of The Overstory, watched House of the Dragon (HBO) and 2 episodes of Bad Sisters (Apple TV) -- all good.  That's the opposite of three strikes.  

Duke and I had a good run at the park -- 3 miles with some short walking breaks.  Today is yoga and Peloton.  Both modified workouts, but I'm slowly climbing again.

As for the rest of the day -- dogs to groomers, neighbor stopping by for dog instructions on Saturday and lots of Spanish practice.  I guess today is a low key day too even though I have the grooming runs back and forth.

Hope the week is going well.  Later gators.
