WEEKEND DIARIES

Can you lot believe it's August already?!

What's novel for you?

We've been spending a lot of fourth dimension outside. Playing at the playground. Soccer practices as well as games. Scootering at the river, as well as running. Yes, I've started running again, or to a greater extent than accurately, run-walking. It's difficult to driblet dead on the measuring consistent when I've got a baby as well as 3 trivial scootering fools inward tow, but its yet enjoyable. I don't driblet dead on rails of pace, time, or distance. I simply desire to taste the exertion of it as well as the pleasance of the procedure rather than turning it into a contest (with myself).

I used to hold upwards hardcore as well as crazy when it came to exercise; I've avoided "working out" for 5 years because I'm then wary of getting sucked dorsum into unhealthy attitudes. Maybe it's a approbation that the kids strength me to hold upwards flexible... You can't larn also competitive when you lot are constantly stopping to selection upwards acorns as well as other "treasures" ("Mom, await at this chapstick I found." The chapstick that was real a used tampon. Even inward the cleanest park, a mom has always got to hold upwards on her toes!)

In add-on to our fitness endeavors, we've been enjoying the flavors of the flavor - fresh cherries, apricots, peaches as well as nectarines. Watching nature upwards close: a robin built a nest, seat her eggs, hatched her young, as well as raised them upwards to flight historic catamenia all inward a hanging handbasket on the porch. Life is genuinely amazing.

Also, at that spot accept been roughly less fun activities, similar trying to salvage the majority collection that got also damp inward the basement. Not wet, simply damp. The procedure of removing the mildew from then many books is then overwhelming that I wept. Maybe to a greater extent than than once. I've realized that the collection of books that I beloved needs to hold upwards severely culled. There are simply also many to thoroughly dry out as well as de- mildew. Sigh.

Have a slap-up week!
