I think about my blog when I’m living my life, almost like I’m excited to document what is going on – the good and the bad. Thankfully, good stuff lately even if it is due to circumstances beyond my (or someone else I care about)’s control. All week I was so excited because my twin nieces were coming down from Long Island to stay for a long weekend. First time for Lexi to do the drive and it is a huge deal that she did it. Coming to stay at our house is becoming a rite, calling it the Smith Wellness Retreat or Aunt Dianne’s Wellness Retreat haha, we do love hosting guests to our cute little part of Virginia. We have downtown Fredericksburg to visit with hot yoga and contrast therapy, we have the Shenandoah National Park with lots of hikes, wildlife and fresh air, we have Opa’s out in King George on the Potomac River for pool time and hummus and pita (or air fried baguette!) and then just chillin in the woods at our house, out on the deck or in the treehouse, walking the neighboring battlefield parks and if you arrive on a Thursday you get to participate in Jersey Mike’s night (which is tonight as I write this YAHOOOOOIE)
At work on Tuesday night I ‘shadowed’ our new front desk associate, she had it down so I clocked out and took the Yang/Yin hot yoga class and it was absolutely wonderful. Got my 5:30am shift for Wednesday covered so I could sleep in 30 minutes and get up to open at Element and sub that day, so no trip out to my dad’s on Wednesday.
Woke up and checked Jillie’s location because she and JB were going to Chicago and I was curious if they’d taken off yet! They had the best trip. Took Uli for a quick walk. I had to think fast for my Tuesday night dinner since I’m always home for dinner unless it is my monthly Vinny’s dinner with friends (which I did have to bow out of for May because I was working/taking yoga) Mike had leftover brown rice in a bowl and we saved one vegan Italian sausage in sauce so I combined the two and had a very healthy dinner, that I probably shouldn’t have eaten BEFORE a hot yoga class but I survived with a little bit of gas pain LOL!
No photos from Wednesday – I do have one of Iris on my bed that I took when I got out of the shower, she was sitting there like she was waiting for me to get back in and rest with her. These pets love when I lounge in bed in the morning. Doesn’t happen too often but when it does we all love it. It’s peaceful, like my monks. Bye for now. Be nice.
