I am fascinated by the sky. Whether it is a sunny day or a cloudy day I am usually mesmerized. I guess that I’m not that interested when it is slate grey for days but, aside from that, watching the sky is pretty interesting to me. I would quickly add the caveat that I am not interested in it in any scientific way WHATSOEVER! We have had at least 4 inches of rain this last week so I’ve watched a lot of clouds roll past. I took this after I wogged with Jennifer, we thought it would rain on us but instead it was sunny and hot.
In many ways I have really enjoyed our “at home” spring break. We have been cleaning, lounging and going outside when weather permits. I have been unproductive in areas that I am usually driven to be responsible and productive in relaxing. I finally read the Hunger Games series. It was actually very good. I have been a reading slacker for the several months and am eagerly returning to my first love.
I have been enjoying some woodland hikes and Marek and I took a shot at a couple of geocaches yesterday. While we didn’t find that actual geocache, we did enjoy the creek and flowers that we found. I am hoping that the rain abates for a few days so that I can get out and about a bit more. Today has dawned bright and beautiful and the forecast is sunny and warm. I am hoping to take care of a few errands and to maybe take the kayak out this afternoon. Sadly, my motorcycle is still in the shop with the oil leak problem. I would work in the garden but it is now super muddy. Maybe next week!
I need to take some time today to get reorganized for my real, non-spring break life. Better double check the calendar and clean out my piles of paper in preparation for a return to the usual. I am almost ready to get back to that! By Monday at 6:00am I will be organized, rested and ready for a return.
OH! The Brew to Brew is next Sunday! There are currently 4000 runners registered which is crazy! I haven’t really been running with any regularity lately and have been struggling to hit my stride and get a breathing rhythm but OH WELL! I know that I can wog my 5 miles without dying and really, that is pretty good! Actually, if I conveniently have a good day next Sunday I think I will feel pretty good. I am optimistic that Marek will also be ready, he certainly thinks he’s ready!
Two last thoughts before I head out the door. Marek is now TALLER than I am!! Yikes! He thinks he is pretty cool, and he is! I can’t believe how fast time flies when you are a parent. He is a good son and I am proud of him. He is his own person and that has been the goal! My last thought is for you. I sincerely hope that you are feeling good, finding joy and taking time to relax and love the life you have! I know that some days it is easier said than done! Keep going!!
