I Love a Monday

I had the BEST time with my grandson. Toddlers are so much fun and he's a joy beyond joy. Madly and deeply in love with this sweet boy.

I miss him today, but I'm also happy to get back to being me -- morning routine, workouts, planning, organizing. 

The decomposing rat is no longer -- phew. That was disgusting. Don't want rats in my house (of course), but dripping rats are a whole other level of hell.

I started today in the best Monday way. Chores like crazy. Good workout. Got live coached. Walked to a solo lunch with my bookclub book in hand. Set up a bunch of social fun this week. Made a couple of decisions for the week from intuition, rather than "should." Added two club hikes to the mix too.

Feeling a lot like myself today. I've been having a very rough go of hormones and felt horrible again over the weekend. Hot flashes that wouldn't stop. Night sweats. Low of lowest energy. It was awful. Last night was the first night without sweating and I feel so much more myself today. I hope this feeling sticks around a bit. Only one mild hot flash so far today.

Got a little gift from my DIL for babysitting and it's PERFECT! It's a used booked wrapped with goodies -- I've seen these and have wanted to duplicate it. I can't wait to read it. There's something extra nice about being seen and she nailed this gift.

I have one more chore to finish today -- watering plants. It's such a project in this house because the plants are everywhere. I'm about halfway. Hubby is golfing and the house is quiet now that my grandson and grand-dog are home -- time to get that finished. 

Hope you're off to a good Monday. Later gators.
