Weekend recap

The weekend has unfortunately come to an end.

Clearly I started this Monday, it's now Tuesday and I'm trying to finish it.

Friday after work I rushed over to hot yoga. Great class, but once it was over I sat down in my apt and didn't end up going to the store to get food for dinner til almost 9! But with a 10k race int he morning, I needed to eat a good dinner.So of course I had salmon, duh. And some pasta and veggies.

But I couldn't sleep much Friday night and the alarm went off way too early on Saturday. There was a hot minute where I thought maybe I should stay in bed, but I didn't. Up and out of the house and downtown for the 10k. My legs felt pretty tired throughout most of the run, which is why I was shocked when my first mile was 7:51 and that my overall pace ended up being 8:29. Of course, my watch said 6.4 miles so my official pace was actually 8:40. Rude. I rushed home after the race, changed my shirt and went right to hot yoga. I did not not feel like waiting around until 2pm for the next class. Plus I really needed that stretch after the run.

After yoga, I headed straight to my pool! to start a new book. It was a beautiful day out. Already hot from hot yoga, I had no idea how burnt I was getting. When will I learn how much closer I am to the sun down here in Texas. Maybe next time. So after a few hours I went inside. Time sure does fly for me when I'm reading a good book. I know, I know, I'm a nerd. So what? All of a sudden it was 7pm and I was getting hungry. So where did we go? El Tiempo. It had been a minute, probably not that long, and their margaritas are amazing. 

I was on the fence about yoga Sunday morning, hot yoga and sunburn are not a great combo, but once S told me he might wanna go, obviously I had to make that happen. He waffled right up until the deadline I gave him and then said he was in. It was hot, it's supposed to be, and when we left he said it was horrible. But I know he likes it, we already talked about going back. He went and ran after, bc he's crazy, and then it was time for my favorite part of any Sunday - brunch. Dish Society brunch and prickly pear mimosas, yumm. Some errands, some more mimosas and that was basically the end of my weekend.

Monday K messaged me and asked if I wanted to go to Local Foods for lunch. Duh. Finally got back into the gym last night and then cooked again. I'm loving my new knives, even though I haven't cooked anything outrageous yet they sure do making cutting things up easier. 

Two more days left in the work week for me! It's my Friday off this week...yay!

Playing with knives.

Healthy dinner on a Friday.

Bayou City Classic 10k

What my watch said for the first mile...

Relaxing by the pool after the 10k and hot yoga

Bc who doesn't take a dog to Sunday brunch?

15 days

As of yesterday, it has been 15 business days since I submitted my paperwork to State Farm for all of the things that were stolen from my apartment. They have never reached out to me, but I have called them three times. First, with questions before I submitted my paperwork (this was when they told me they had 15 days to accept or reject my claim but that it "never takes that long"), then to see if they needed my new address since I was moving soon and finally last week to get an update on my claim status (this was when they told me they were just waiting on the police report which they had requested on August 16 and it only takes 3 or 4 days). Maybe they put a note in your file every time you call and make you wait that much longer before they finish your claim.  I just want to replace what was taken from me. According to Texas law, there are deadlines for insurance companies to act after you’ve filed a claim. They must accept or reject my claim within 15 days after m

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E.  Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?

The I can't believe it's been about seven months since the last time I posted a blog. Did you even notice I was gone? So much has happened in the time that I have been gone. I'm not sure I would be able to get the whole story out or even know where to start. The 2017 #HouMarathon, the twin's last chemo and radiation treatments, me accepting a new position with Susan G. Komen Houston, Aunt Sandy practically in remission, I lost Lola, I got Jewels, my second trip to Denver, my little sister's wedding...the list goes on and on. It's been a very rocky eight months. Personally, professionally, any way you want to look at. But I'm moving into a great place in my life right now and that's all I can ask for.  I was devastated just over a month ago when I lost Lola. She was having trouble breathing one night and by lunch the next day the vet had told me there was nothing they could do. Tumor in her left atrium. I  had to let her go that afternoon.
