Running About Day

The hike was COLD -- I wore a puffer jacket for the first time ever. The wind chill made it miserable at the start, but the hike was great. Fast, technical. I had trouble getting up an embankment -- had to climb on my hands and knees. Totally loved it. I'm actually a little stiff this morning. 

One more hike with the group on Sunday before I start "isolation" measures ahead of the wedding. 

The hike I was considering this morning got canceled because of the cold -- too much ice run off to be safe. Glad I didn't change up my schedule.

I have a day of out-of-the-house. Nail appointment, errands, lunch with a friend and then a trek into mid-town for wedding errands. I'm going to make a full day of it -- too much driving, but that can't be helped. BUT ... I'm planning on a fun, productive day. 

My jaw is slowly improving. I need to be deliberate about NOT clenching and aggravating it more. We're heading to a soup place for lunch -- every little bit less chewing helps. 

Something I also need to be deliberate about is remembering in two weeks we will gather with great friends, loving family for a shared experience I'll remember forever -- I swear this just dawned on me yesterday. Duh. It's special and that's getting lost in my to-do list worry. It's time to get excited.

Next week is final details for everything and a bunch of appointments, etc. but it shouldn't feel too rushed. Then a week of nothing but a lead up to the festivities. I want to spend a little time painting rocks (it's been forever) and allowing downtime and some solitude before the big weekend. I'll solo hike which is a totally different experience to group hiking but I expect it'll feel really good. 

I'm adding a few adventures today if time permits. FS bits. I'll see what I can fit in.

Hope you're set for a good weekend. Later gators.
