Looking Up

The hike was great -- I was appropriately tired and hiked with no problem. We finished 20 minutes ahead of schedule thanks to a cool morning with a nice breeze. 2.5 hours. It was a solid workout and a good group of people. 

My Tuesday friend group didn't finished until 1:30 (3.5 hours to do a mile less and 700 feet less). I absolutely made the right decision. I had time to shower and read on a park bench while I waited for them. Lunch was great and I was cheerful. Took everything in stride. Yea, me. 

My sleep stats are improving. I'm getting regularly higher REM and deep sleep numbers. Fingers crossed HRT is doing its thing. It's looking up -- finally.

I finished this book last night (thanks to a long bench sit). It was heartbreaking and a story everyone should read. A memoir of a 9 year old's immigration from El Salvador. 

I have ZERO commitments on the calendar today, but a full day. Lots on a to-do list and it's nice to have a day to work on things. Volunteer, house chores, etc. 

Hope you are having a good week. Later gators.
