I had a really nice day. The hike was good and HARD. Long, elevation, hot. I did it and was beat to the bone -- in a good way. Always glad I kept the commitment to myself.
Fussed in the kitchen and a couple of chores and then hubby and I finished out the series "Your Friends and Neighbors." Absolutely great show with incredible ending. It poured rain all afternoon and evening and we snuggled with dogs and watched the show. Mini-marathon to finished it up and it was a nice time together.
We'd been invited to an outdoor concert with tailgating and we passed. I like knowing myself enough to know when to say no. Not interested in the band or the weather or the late night. Seems like an obvious pass, but there was a time that I would've gone because I felt I should want to do something like that or it was important to spend time with friends, etc. So it's not just that I know myself (because I always knew I didn't want something), it's that I respect myself enough to act on what I know.
Hubby's birthday today. I have fasting labs for my physical in a couple of weeks, then heading to lunch. He decided to play pickle ball with friends tonight so I'm on an evening hike with the club.
It's a little bit of a homebody week -- or at least not a packed week and I'm here for it. The house is sold and life is calming down and now I need to let my nervous system have a break. Spend time with the base, so to speak. Doing the quiet things, homebody things. Cooking, reading, rock painting, babysitting, etc. It grounds my nervous system in a good way.
Hope you have a good day. Later gators.
