Yet-Another Take-it-Easy Weekend
It's been yet-another take-it-easy weekend. That's both a good thing and a bad thing. Good, because it's enjoyable to relax at home, both alone (just the two of us) and with low-key friends. But also bad, because I've had several low-key weekends in a row. At some the enjoyment of simply relaxing goes flat and I need adventure.
So what have I done this weekend? For one, TV. Lots of TV. Well, lots for me anyway. I've been catching up on Breaking Bad, as you know from my blogs about it recently. This weekend, counting Friday night, I watched 5 episodes. And Hawk and I also watched 4 episodes of Lucifer, another series we're catching up on now that we have Netflix. Nine hours of TV over a weekend is kind of a lot for me.
I got out to the hot tub once, yesterday. It was nice to have a soak. Yet at the same time it's just once- over a weekend when I had designs on spending several hours at the pool. So much for #PoolLife. What changed? Ugh. Being tired is what changed. Too often now when I think "I'd sure enjoy unwinding", I'm happy to skip plans of relaxing by the pool and just veg out in the house.
Thankfully I didn't just sit around the house like a slug all weekend. I mean, aside from going out to the hot tub for 30 minutes on Saturday. Today we went hiking. It wasn't a big, adventurous hike, because Hawk is still recovering from foot surgery 3 weeks ago. But we did go for a long walk around the edge of the bay at Byxbee Park. And our friend, David, from up near San Francisco came down to join us.
After the hike the three of us came back to our place to hang out for a while. The warm weather we enjoyed mid-afternoon at the park stuck with us, so we hung out together on the back patio until 6:30. Then David and I went out to get dinner. Hawk stayed home as she'd reached her limit for the weekend and wasn't hungry anyway.
Now it's back to just the two of us, we've finished the last bit of TV watching for this weekend, and we're winding down for bed. Having a relaxing weekend is a nice way to feel rested for starting the work week tomorrow, but at the same time I yearn for an exciting weekend so I can start the work week reinvigorated.
