I’m easing into this staycation. The challenge: Can dingo and I get through this week without wishing the other would go back to the office?
It was a slow day and rightfully so.
I carved out some time to take a 6k run around town and get the pup to park for about an hour and half. By the way, Jake is THE most spoiled animal on the face of this planet. An animal couldn’t get better care at the Smithsonian. On a related note, we’re VERY happy that we left Wags for Walks when Katrina left…’cause dang…those folks just don’t have a clue: an over burdened and under qualified dog walker is a bad combination.
I got the opportunity to return a few e-mails that ‘ve been stacking up. There’s something humbling about being happy to find 30 minutes to run a 6k…only to find out that Troy ran a half marathon this weekend past. It makes me think twice about including my race distance and time in my blog posts…oh well, next time.
It was a lot quieter tonight when I took dingo for a walk; see, there’s no need for air conditioning in MA any more. We had our 7 days of 90 degree weather, and now I think fall is here. It’ll get down into the 50’s tonight in Boston. Believe it or not, there’s a frost warning for parts of NH and Maine. Oh well, the CMA Music Festival is on tonight – I am satisfied.
I gave Kytalia a call yesterday to get a baby update and learned something new! I always thought that “any day now” was the last stage before labor. Oh no. As it turns out, there’s another whole stage. It’s called the “later today” stage. This stage is characterized by frequent labor walks, foot massages, and cleaning (because there won’t be time for that later). The real kicker is that even this stage can last for several days.
