summers end

 What the heck! It's now a few days past when I wrote this! Today is Monday aka Labour Day! We just got home from a lovely night at Kirsten's and are holed up in the house cause it's windy and cold outside! I'm not going to wax poetic about snuggling under the covers on the camper (I love sleeping in a cold room when I'm warm in bed), nor am I going to go on and on about how great it is to spend time with my sister (it is and Shawn too). I won't talk about the dogs loving their leash walks down the road. No, I'm just going to post this before another week passes!

I wrote this almost a week ago! My energy is coming back! I did a full 80 min (7.4km) walk Saturday and again on Sunday! Plus some extra weights. And I managed to do something in the kitchen… and on top of that cooked supper for Pat. Well, I was pretty wiped out by late afternoon, but I'm feeling optimistic 😀 

We did manage a few hours outside Saturday before a light shower sent us inside, but it stopped in time for us to have supper on the deck with Pat. Carm's been man-handling the lawnmower for the second day in a row, trying to catch up from the week of rain. The grass is long and thick, not at all like you'd expect for the end of August. I'm sure we've set some rainfall records this summer!

So now I'll seguey back to the present (update, the present 3 days ago)! There have been some nice days where I've been exceptionally lazy and just hung out on the deck as well as some cooler days - today is cloudy with rain in the forecast. It's almost 1pm and I'm still in my pjs having skipped the treadmill today - my muscles are crampy and achy after a stressful day yesterday so having a day of rest is probably a good thing.

I can't believe that it is August 30th - summer is over already. It seems like months ago that we were at the beginning of May, but here we are… a summer lost. 

Honestly, I feel so lazy today that I can't even think of anything to write but instead I'll distract myself with a trashy book!

Awesome!

“a few perfect afternoons of reading”

“the villetta which always gives me a sense of comfort”

“everyone quiet after a night away”

“home and the laundry is already done!”
