i'm wrapping up the end of my 5 day staycation and boy have i been busy! (even though halfway through the week i came down with a bit of a cold. boooo!)
i've been walking, biking, cooking, cleaning, watching movies, going to the library and hanging out with friends & family. it's been very fun & relaxing to just have time to myself and be on my own personal schedule. tomorrow is my last day before i go back to work but it's going to be a fun day. it's payday.. therefore it's a good day. i'll be having lunch with a coworker then going to trader joes (my favorite store ever) then taking my 4 & 5 year old nieces for a walk at the lake.
speaking of the lake! my friend/adopted brother Jeremy and i packed up our bikes and went to gray's lake to ride. it was a beautiful day even though we struggled against advisory speed winds at times. we also strayed from the lake and followed a trail that runs alongside the river just to get to a wooden bridge for a nice view of downtown. yes, several times my legs felt like hot, burning jello.. and my hands hurt from the weight of leaning forward (i had a case of carpal tunnel about a year ago and too much pressure for too long can be uncomfortable).. but we took breaks and in the end rode twice around the lake plus went off on the river trail.. a total of about 5-6 miles by my calculations. awesome!
so now it's time to relax.. i made a dinner of leftover roasted potatoes, scrambled eggs, bell peppers & onions and morningstar spicy sausage patties crumbled. i threw in some seasoning & hot sauce.. it was delish! and after awhile here i'm gonna try my hand at a cupcake recipe that will require all my culinary skills: rainbow cupcakes. should be fun!
Gray's like is probably like "This bitch again? God doesn't she have a home?".
ReplyDeleteThat sucks your vacation is coming to an end already, and even suckier that you have to go back on a Saturday. I guess its better than most though, most end their vacations and go back on a Monday making Mondays universally hated. But its good you had a week of good times. I am glad for that.
lol i have been at the lake an awful lot.. and having to go back on the weekend isn't bad because they're my easiest days anyways. and this time off is just the refresher i needed
ReplyDeleteI wanna see the rainbow cupcakes. They sound interesting. Although I told you how I feel about decorative foods lol...I wanna see how you do yours...i have no doubt they'll turn out fine of course.
