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?

It's a good thing I have a day job. Over spring break, I spent more than my typical paycheck on nonessentials!  To be fair, I was taking care of replacing things that were falling apart, like my running shoes. The facial I got also fits in the things falling apart territory. And I got the opportunity to spend time with the middle kiddo and his partner. We went out to lunch, and I treated, of course! 

I was part of a boozy book fair last Sunday, and I bought almost as many books as I sold. I've already read two of the books I got. Sugar's Cookies is a quirky, laugh-out-loud spicy novella, and Returning Home is a violence-packed mafia thriller. Two very different books! Next up, I'll be reading a romantasy from the same event. 

On the TV front, we finished "Reacher" season three. Have I mentioned that my plan for the summer is to have a "Reacher" summer where I read all the books?  I started planning for summer by putting the first three books on hold at my library. I'm going to do as many audiobooks in the series as possible. So if you see me out and about with headphones on this Summer, I'm spending time with Reacher. 

Do you have summer reading or viewing plans?
