Trying to Get Back in the Swing

Happy Sunday. 

I've had a fun couple of days. Friday was a big gardening "stuff" clean up on the porches, planting some herb seeds and trying to grow tubulars for sweet potatoes (might have started this too late this year).





I got seeds ready for my son to get his garden started this weekend and he postponed until next weekend. I guess I'll get some things started for him because it's getting late to plant.

Tried a new French cafe with a friend -- she gave me a bunch of books for the LFL and a promise of some baby toys she's giving away. 

Yesterday I went with a few of the weekend hiking ladies and walked a Mushroom Fun-guy 5k race. Up a mountain, down a creek and back to a mushroom farm. I didn't take pictures this year. It was rainy and super muddy (like sink to your ankle muddy). The sun came out just before the walk and it was miserable -- hot, humid. Thunderstorms on the way home. I'm grateful for the rain, but it's a sloppy mess out there. We got the bag of fresh mushrooms again -- that made a good lunch.

That brings me to hiking this week. I have a 10 miler with some technical parts tomorrow. I'm really unsure of my back though (after the fall). I'm going to give it a go with fingers crossed, anti-inflammatory on board and lots of PT stretches ahead. I have another HARD hike on Wednesday -- 6 miles, but big elevation with lots of rocks. It's a wait-and-see game. If anything changes significantly, I'll cancel the hikes. I'm super bummed. I swear I just get back in shape and something stupid happens to set me back. My finger is still a mess BTW. Geez Louise. 

Today is babysitting while everyone plays pickleball (assuming it's dry enough). I'll be at the courts so it's going to be boring (aside from helping with the baby). Taking my own car so I can leave early. I don't need to spend 2 hours just watching. There are 5 of them so someone rotates out each set. 

I'm trying to ease back into my FS routine and it's been a bit of a struggle. I'm in a real fog -- everything feels hard. And I want some downtime for crafting and such. Looking to do that this week. I'll see where it gets me. I got a new brand of paint pens for rock painting that should work better than what I have (most of my pens are dried up now anyway) -- excited to try it.




This is how I rested my back after the 5k yesterday. Monti cuddles and finished the first library read.

Good -- 4/5

Love this little bubble butt.

Hope you have a good Sunday. Later gators.
