I finished my last 2 brutal days of school and now I am free! I need the break to focus on me and my health: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual!
The pool is amazing and relaxing and comforting! Alayna and I have been working hard to find balance between working on projects, and relaxing. For me its hard to find balance.
We have been doing a family Summer Fit Challenge and its been great. I already feel better! Its wonderful to sleep and work when my body tells me to. Its been so great!
We finished deep cleaning the shed. We took 1/2 a van full of crap to goodwill- realizing we need to stop buying “things”. We took an entire van full of cardboard to the dump and an entire van full of trash to the dump. Its crazy! and cathartic!
We’ve been cleaning all the carpets, redecorating the guest room (who wants to come visit??), deep cleaning and rearranging the cages, working on the yard outside, etc. However, today while mowing, I ran over one of our baby robins and murdered it!!! I held it in my hand and stroked it as it died. I dont think I can take nature anymore. It hurts too much! Especially watching the mom all afternoon flying everywhere calling for her!
I’ve been working on some puzzles and we saw some interesting movies this weekend.
“Meru”- Super interesting documentary about the 1st climbing team to ever reach the top of Shark’s fin on Mount Meru.
“Into the wild”- Based on the true story researched by John Krakauer. Good book. Really makes you think about life, priorities, etc.
“Pele”- If you havent seen this yet on Netflix its a MUST SEE!
Updates:
Marisa is packing for the trip to Europe. Cant wait to see all the pictures and hear about the trip.
