Around town...

This is the first Saturday I have not worked in 3 weeks... I so need to stay home... And that is an understatement... Sleeping in would have been nice but I inevitably wake up around 6:30/7. It has been raining since yesterday so the little guy and I stuck our heads out the front door. Turned out to be warm and breezy. Kind of reminded me of Bermuda - the humidity from the rain usually does that for me. We tinkered around for a bit with the coffee, facebook, absolute radio, emails, laundry. And I ultimately found the motivation to get out of the house...
I did the mile loop around the neighborhood, out of the neighborhood to the left (making sure my keys were in the velcro pocket) for the mile loop, past the neighborhood toward the post office for the other mile loop. Somewhere in there it started to rain. I ducked into CVS to get/stay dry. Hung out there for a bit (kind of threw my pace off). And headed home.
I could have gone longer. I really needed to pound the pavement to get some of this stress out.
But this pending rain and non-waterproof windbreaker were not cutting it.
So now I am home, in dry clothes and looks like the sun is coming out.
OH what I wouldn't do for a warm afternoon in the sun. I will bundle myself up with a good book and read on the front porch with my afternoon. The exercise and ultraviolets should do wonders for my mood.
And if not, maybe the deep tissue massage at noon will help.
One can only hope!
