Good Friday

I forgot to chat about my intention at the bank reception -- noticing things for enjoyment.  It's something I've been practicing and I want to explain.  Carpet cleaner is coming first thing this morning though and I have a lot of prep work to do.  I'll save this for tomorrow -- and writing it here so I remember hah!

Yesterday morning was the fitness hike with my hiking group.  It was more challenging than her usual hikes, but it was fine.  I'd say a few too many breaks, but it was good for my heart and legs.  I'll be fine to level up some of the hikes if my back stays well.  We saw some wildlife -- always a treat.

Happy guy at a pond.

This is  kind of owl that
comes out during the day.  Beautiful.

I finished the Sesame Street collection.  Cookie Monster -- he's my favorite.  My plan is to leave these in the kids' LFL at the park.  Maybe one at a time, maybe as a collection.  I need to think about it.  I'll do this in May after we're back from Spain.  It's weirdly hard to give away a collection.  The Easter egg rocks were taken from the hike trail (we passed the spots I left them on Tuesday -- very obvious so I could see if they were gone).  It's fun to think who has them and where they ended up.

After the carpet cleaning, my day is quite empty.  I don't enjoy this kind of scheduling -- rush the morning only to be bored the rest of the day.  This cleaner only does residential morning appointments -- small family business.  Monti marked a few rooms and I can smell the residual odor and I'm not messing around with it.  I'll be happy to have a nice smelling house again.  The owner does a good job.

Happy Good Friday!  Later gators.
