Perfect Weekend

Hey there, Amanda,

On the east coast it's evening, and I'm winding down from an excellent weekend...

My birthday was nothing special but I really wanted to play it by ear and not have to be any place special at any certain time, so it was my choice to be low key. I went out for my weekly steak, then over L and D's (it's been forever!) to hang out on the deck, and was home safe and sound by 10. Saturday I hung out by the pool but only for about an hour (I start in small doses). Later I had dinner with M and the kids, which was very nice. Yesterday my cousin D came over with her daughter P and we had a great day. We were by the pool for about three hours I guess before coming in for dinner. Since I had been up at 6:30 am and was doing laundry by 7:30, I was exhausted when they left at 7. After a shower I was spent and ready for bed by 9. Of course the best part of the weekend was having another day...

I went to the the gym this morning and had my Sunday breakfast--a day late--before heading poolside.I was so relaxed and in my element, I could have stayed out all day, but limited myself to three hours again, so as not to fry. I thought about going out for dinner once I came in, but after my shower opted for soft sweats and a BLT with bacon leftover from this morning. My AC is still on and I'm that comfy kind of chilly after a day in the sun, as tired as a kid after a long day at the beach.

It was a perfect weekend in many ways. Perfect for me anyway...And now I'm ready for vacation. For two months of this kind of living. Fortunately I don't have many days left to count down before I'm there.

Wonder if you are en route from your camping weekend, or home safe and sound. Hope it, too, was perfect!

Love,
Barb
