Its amazing what weekends can do for mental and physical health! I figured out why last week was such a struggle….my immune system was working its butt off to keep me from getting sick (like the rest of my family). Success!!!!
And I have to admit that spending all day Saturday and most of Sunday on the beach were huge contributors. It was so nice to relax in the sun. The ocean was quite lively this weekend. My attempt at boogie boarding in intense wind, current, and wave conditions without a functioning knee made for quite a sight. Let’s just say I got a beating. But nothing is better than coming away from the ocean feeling good to be alive. I also treated myself to BBQ, cheerwine and my favorite Mexican. Best remedies in the world.
So come 7am this morning, I was perky and pumped to be going back to structured days when I feel like I cram a lot into each hour. My positive attitude stayed with me all day long and by 5pm I hardly believed it was already time to leave. Today I got to use a side of my brain that doesn’t get used as much these days….creative thinking and problem solving. MJ and I are working on constructing tanks for his animal behavior projects. We had to come up with 3 different materials to use as tank dividers and figure out how to secure them in the tank. I got to cut, glue, sandblast, and drill and also spent time wandering through Lowes and Staples to come up with some crazy designs. We also made another run for seaweed. This time I had to battle a strong current that sent me flying backwards anytime I lifted my feet off the ground to dive for seaweed. It was a good laugh indeed.
Just ate some awesome leftovers from the feast I cooked last night. My first true attempt at cooking alone. I managed chicken alfredo, german green beans, and mashed potatoes. Delicious.
