This Week

I ate a sad dinner of leftover steak (never as good) and burnt/over-salted grilled veggies and had to make up for it by getting ice cream.

Ate a Mexican Caesar Salad for lunch and spent an entire hour reading.

Spent (probably) too much time making an Instagram story, showing how I make kombucha.  Saved to my highlights, if you’re interested!

Harvested basil and tomatoes from our garden and used them to make one of our very favorite summer dinners.

Left the house Friday morning and saw a sky full of rippled clouds (which I just learned is called a Mackerel Sky!) ♥

Do you guys like these little posts about snippets from the work week?  I hit it heavy with the weekend stuff but I don’t want to forget about the stuff that happens after a Monday at work.  It isn’t always as exciting, but I think routine things can be worth a moment in the spotlight too 🙂

Please have a wonderful weekend!

Little Things

Taking a hint from my girl Kate and her “Daily Grace” posts and forcing myself to write out the little things I’m thankful for today.   Because I’m feeling tired and tense and like it should have been Friday about three days ago 🙂

Physical health // Specifically, two strong legs that helped me to my goal of beating each individual mile time from my run on Tuesday.  So I may feel tired, but I also feel mighty proud.

Fun post-work plans // The Rockies are back in town!  We haven’t treated ourselves to dinner out in six whole days (the horror)!  It’s summer and “school nights” don’t exist (whether you stopped having school nights 5 years ago or not)!  Time for dinner and a game with Joey.

A good book // A little over halfway done with Homegoing and while I don’t love the actual writing, I am so lost in these characters and their stories and the way Yaa Gyasi has formatted her novel.  It is beautiful.

Also, though it is sometimes hard for me to put work aside for just half an hour, once I’m outside in the shade with a good book in hand, I am so so glad I did that for myself.
