Treat Yourself [NOT 10/1/22]

Hi, friends!

I’m super tired today and strongly fighting the urge to nap. Only because it would be late enough in the day to mess up my sleep tonight.

But I love naps. Naps might be my favorite way to treat myself. Chillax with a good book and then nap.

What are your favorite things to do? Are you a stress baker and making cookies, etc level you out? Running? Watching movies?

  1. I’ve been walking (new City Walks queued up for tomorrow) and it’s great. You feel a pulse of a place in a way cars just cover up.

    One thing I’ve been lax about since Covid is going to art museums. There is something just fantastic about sitting on a bench in an uncrowded museum in front of some big work and just looking and figuring out how it all comes together.

    There’s one museum within walking distance I keep meaning to go this past year, but I somehow don’t carve out the time for a proper visit. I need to get that done soon.

      • My daughter worked for Lush when she was an undergrad. I miss the discount -50%. They were liberal with the freebies to employees too. But they still know me and load me up with samples when I go in. And the occasional free bath bomb. I do love their products.

  2. Normally, excessive beer consumption.  Occasionally other alcoholic drinks.

    But, I figured maybe I should dry out for a bit, so, not really an option right now…

     

    Betwixt the time off for the holidays, a fair bit of rain, and excessive tire problems, it’s been almost a month since I did a full bicycle commute both to and from work.  The rain seems to have calmed down for a bit, and I got new tires put on this weekend, so today was my first complete commute, and all that time off definitely took a toll.  pretty typical time-wise, but I was a lot more winded and tired than I should have been.  But it was nice to be able to expend some energy on the way home, I just got tired before I could expend all that I wanted…

    Oh well.  That will get straightened out soon enough…
