Well hello there,
I know I committed to writing here once a week, but here I sit, without a thought in my brain. I think I know why – I haven’t really given myself any time in the last seven days to be fanciful. I work out, I work, I walk, and then I’ve spent every spare moment racking points on my language learning app. You see, I’m in the Finals of the Diamond Tournament and I simply must finish in the top three! I know – very, very sad. Once this competition is over (tonight at 10pm!) I am going to step back from the app. Well, I’ll still play once a day to keep up my 127+ day streak – I can’t throw that away, come on!
The weather here was absolutely gorgeous this weekend, but we are about to enter a punishing heat wave. I do realize that my idea of a punishing heat wave would be a mild week in, say, Texas. I lived in Texas at the end of the nineties and I remember having to go for walks with Sam in the stroller at about 5am in order to avoid the 100+ degree temperatures that rolled in every dang day.
I’m very excited because I just realized that Wednesday is a holiday (Juneteenth) and our offices are closed. Thursday I am meeting with some old work colleagues in the evening. I am going to devote my free time this week to reading and writing. Reading, whether it be poetry or a novel, always helps put me into a creative space. It also helps put me into a positive frame of mind. I’ve been feeling a bit flat for the last few days, to be honest. I’ll be fine, I just need to up the fun level a bit.
Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Michelle xoxo
Up the fun level. I love it ! 😊
