Hercules

Yesterday was a herculean effort to do what I said I would do.  This is the hormone energy issue -- it's not so much that I don't have energy as in I need a nap.  It's I don't have motivation energy to do ANYTHING.  The simplest thing or the best thing.  Nothing.  It's almost what I imagine depression feels like without the depression part.  Does that make sense?

But I did things.  All the things I said I would.  And just knowing I did things boosts my mood.  

Today is another kind of chill day.  I have a late afternoon coaching session and a library book pickup.  Hubby leaves for Asheville around noon (still about a 50-50 that he goes today). 

I finished this quickie yesterday.  I said I only had long books, but I guess I had a couple of YA that were quick reads.  It was fun -- beach, plane read kind of book.

Hubby and I had a movie night.  We watched Heart of Stone.  I thought it was a romance -- nope, an action spy movie.  Silly, ridiculous but entertaining.

My latest obsession in drinks is Trader Joe's chai with hand foamed almond milk and a sprinkle of spice.  Every afternoon instead of kombucha.  I'm on a downturn from matcha again.  I'll probably start it up when the weather turns or I get tired of chai.  I use the matcha whisk to foam the milk.  It's such a pretty drink.  I have to limit on all three (kombucha, chai, matcha) because of caffeine.  I have some decaf substitutes but they aren't as good.

The summer garden is winding down quickly.  I still have tomatoes, a few cucumbers here and there, some herbs and peppers.  The new cucumber plant is struggling like crazy.  I'm not sure it's going to take off.  And the sweet potatoes that I planted from the freebies at the farm haven't grown at all.  I imagine they're a bust too.  I'm okay with the break.  I'll plant some seeds for fall soon -- maybe, since I need to assemble the big garden.  PT says I need to wait a month before that bending over project (permission to procrastinate lol).

Hope your week is going well.  Later gators.
