HooRAY for Friday

Happy Friday!

It finally arrived -- it feels like it has been a verrrrrry long week!


I did some crazy shifts, worked the previous two weekends, plus did a 4-1pm shift yesterday and today.  I can honestly say that there are things I don't remember - I know I called my Mom, but what did we talk about??? lol it seems like a dream or something. I think that's just part of being overly tired.




I achieved my goal of 10K+ steps per day so far this week.  10k steps in today, over 11k Tues and Weds, and 13k+ on Thursday!  I am pleased with the numbers, but still need to keep working hard.  I skipped over the gym today, letting my body have a day of much needed rest.  And an extra serving of potato chips ... just to feed a craving.

Might be easier to get in more exercise if the weather would cooperate and cool off, lose the humidity.  It's been a wet monsoon season for us.  I think I heard on the news that we're 3+ inches over our average in rainfall.  In a desert, that is a huge number!    We're used to 10-15% humidity numbers.  Right now, it's just above 20%.  But two days ago it was 88% .... Unheard of!    *shew*

Who's ready for fall?   Sweaters, blankets on the bed, AC that doesn't run all night long, a brisk walk with chilly air in your lungs ... oh yes, I'm ready!

Just as soon as I get some much needed sleep..... Zzzz-quil anyone??
*laughs*

Celebrations

This was my birthday week, and with things kind of crazy around here, well, the celebrations were kind of spread out....

When I arrived home on Weds, the house smelled Oh So Delicious!  And I thought "whaaaat???"  because the candles I have around are kind of beach smelling, but this - this was something baking!  Turns out my son had hoofed it over to the grocery store and bought the ingredients needed to make a cake from scratch!  Yes, that's right, scratch!  I was really impressed that he could do that.... and I gotta tell ya, that cake was smooth and delicious - way better than the kind you get from a box mix!   (And yes, of COURSE it was chocolate.... hehehe)

Thursday is our night to go to the library, to run any miscellaneous errands, and then treat ourselves to a no-cook night, usually at Taco Bell.  But because its "birthday week", I opted for Chipotle's.  And if you've never eaten at one of their restaurants -- you need to!  I always get a bowl, not a burrito.  This tasty dish is filled with Lime Rice, their specially flavored roasted chicken, sour cream, guacamole and two kinds of salsa.  I think it's fast becoming one of my all time fav things to eat!  (And if I'm going to be a regular customer supporting them, I checked, and yes, they are on the stock market for investors.  They have gone from $60/share to $400/share in the past 5 years.  Hmmmm. Wish I knew then.... )

And now, here it's Friday - the day to put your feet up, sip a cool beverage and chill out for a while -- I wonder if Sadie will be cooperative and allow me to do that!?!?!  hahaha  crazzzzy dog   Happy Weekend!
