Fri-Yay! My Plan for the Weekend? Do Nothing!

 

This week, our school district had a wellness challenge. To earn points for your school, you went to a local forest preserve and walked. This forest preserve has a steep incline of stairs left over from when people used to toboggan in the winter. Toboggans are big sleds that multiple people climb on and slide down a hill. The slides are gone, but the stairs are still there. This picture is the view from the top of the stairs. I walked up and down only twice. I also did a twenty-minute walk on a walking trail at the top of the stairs. 

I'm planning to start going back to the stairs twice a week. It's close to my house, and I want to build up to being able to do at least five sets of up and down. It continues to be a boiling hot September in my area. I'm looking forward to a cold front. I would also like the ragweed to die off. Allergy season has been dreadful for me this year! 

I finally got it together and started bringing a physical book to work so I can spend my lunch reading instead of scrolling social media. Do you read physical books? Have you read this one? 

Procrastination Post

 

I should be drafting my book right now, but instead, I'm writing this procrastination post. Writing is hard! 

When I am drafting a book, chores can suddenly become more appealing.  Look how clean my house is, yes I've only written 146 words today. Can you relate?  And this weekend I'm going to lose an hour due to the time change!  I'm being overly dramatic of course. 

Speaking of dramatic. If you have Hulu, you've got to check out the show Paradise starting and produced by Sterling K. Brown. It's really good! A unique story with some good twists. 

We have 11 more days of school until Spring Break and then we are down to the final quarter of school. I recently had the idea to read the Jack Reacher series this summer since I enjoy the TV show. I didn't check to see how many Reacher books there were. Turns out there are 28 books. How nice for me! This is going to be an action-packed summer break!
