Hikes, Books, More Moving

I feel a lot better this morning. Maybe gluten after all. I also took care of myself yesterday -- protected interactions, time for reading, quiet time, ate well, bed early, etc. 

We'll see how today feels. I have the Tuesday friend hike and lunch. I'm trying to get there early enough to add a few miles since they keep the hiking short. It's a push though -- loading car, unloading car, meeting contractors, morning traffic. We'll see. 

I'm on the weight list for an evening hike tomorrow and I have a big hike on Friday. The weather for the rest of the week is glorious and I want I to hike a few times. The weekend is all moving stuff so no "me" stuff. I had a lunch canceled for Wednesday and I'm not upset about it. She's a casual friend and an orange supporter so I have mixed feelings about seeing her these days. Hope to add on a hike instead.

A few library reads to chat about.

I finished this. I enjoyed reading it, but it's a series (as it turned out) and ended unfinished (sort of). I'm not sure I'll go back to read more. 4/5



I listened to "The Tell" on audio -- Oprah's pick. Memoire and I should've seen the focus coming -- repressed sexual abuse. It was well written, well read, but not what I expected. 

Started this one from a couple of recommendations. The pages are super thin so the regular looking book is over 600 pages of small print -- eek, need to keep reading since there's a waitlist and no renewal. Saga of a family of girls. Good so far -- I'm about 100 pages finished.

Watched the season finale of White Lotus. It was disappointing to me at first. I wanted more of a punch for the finale, but as it sat with me, I changed my mind. I guess I expected more carnage given the other two seasons and a number of these story lines wrapped up tidily. Why I was disappointed, I don't know. The season grows on you the more you think about it.

Okay, hubby just woke up and I need to load my car. Hope your week is going well. Later gators.
