I woke up before seven.
I found my pen! (When I lose inanimate objects of which I'm particularly fond, I have a tendency to waste time laying awake at night wondering where they got to. Unless I lose something else around the house today, I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep this evening.)
I went on a nice brisk walk. I used to do this pretty much every morning with the dog, but then I really didn't feel like it for a while and then when I did feel like it, I really did not feel like bringing the dog. These days my body really does not appreciate the abdominal crunching required to restrain her from pulling me over. The pulling also makes my feet slap on the ground, making me feel like walking was veering into "high impact aerobic territory". No high impact aerobics for me. I decided to get over the guilt factor of walking sans dog and so I did and it was very nice indeed and probably accounts for much of my good mood and desire to continue in un-slothful activities for the remainder of the day.
It is grey, but I'm not going to let that stop me from going for a swim.
I am actually looking forward to cooking this afternoon! My cooking mojo vanished several months ago, but this morning I not only had a craving for loubie bzeit, but realized I probably had most of the ingredients on hand to make it. I looked up a recipe and I do! (Well, with the exception of dried sweet basil, but I can nip into the shop on the way home from swimming for that.) There will be green beans and tomatoes and garlic for days!
I also spent a good 45 minutes at my sewing machine. I didn't neglect to put the cover on it for this most recent spate of creative inactivity so I didn't have to waste ten minutes cleaning it first.
My life is too exciting, I know.
My oldest and I had to check you out this am. I'm so glad we did! Great to see that you are up and around enjoying this overcast day.
I really, really love reading how you write. Hugs from us fellow beachbums!
