Finally Friday

Finally Friday!  It always seems like the best day of the week, the one that holds the most promise.  Maybe that's a hold-over from earlier days -- like in my 20s when it meant good things on a weekend!  Orrrrrrrr .... maybe not.  lol

Once I got home, however, I was tired, dragged out, and after a salad for supper, and a few episodes of Fixer Upper (I was hoping for inspiration!) , the evening was over.

The only thing I tried was the recipe I found online for combining steel wool and vinegar to make a kind of stain to weather boards.  Sadly, I don't think it worked.  It sure sounded too good to be true, too simple, too inexpensive.  Maybe tomorrow I'll have a different opinion of it.  In the meantime, I found that a few drops of acrylic paint in the mix make for an interesting combination to spray on them.  And if that's the case, my boards may turn out to be a little more colorful than just rustic woods!   Time will tell.

I skipped the gym today, I have a sore left arm and thought it needed a rest.  It hurts to straighten it out fully, as if the muscle is pulled.   A day's rest won't hurt.


Tomorrow, 5/21, is "Goal Day" for FitBit users.  It'll be tough getting to my goal of 10k steps on a non-working day, but I'm going to give it my best shot.  I wonder how Sadie will like it??  hahaha

My FitBit buzzed me, I reached my 10k steps again today!  and I checked my sleep numbers for last night.  7 hours, 55 minutes of sleep, but awake 6 times, and restless 17 times.   Not sure how that works out, but I know that I feel like I'm not getting enough sleep, which is why I started this in the first place.   I wonder if the weekend will change the numbers at all.  We shall see.
