canyonwalkerWe decided at some point at little over a week ago that this weekend would be an easy weekend at home. Wow, what a good choice. After a busy week of travel Mon-Thurs this past week I was more tired than I expected. Friday was an unexpectedly busy day at work, not a "catch up on odds and ends" day as I'd planned a week earlier. After that I was bushed. I went to bed early Friday night and slept in 'til 8 Saturday morning.
Our previous plan had been to spend the weekend traveling and hiking outdoors, probably in the deserts around Las Vegas. I'm so glad we didn't do that. I probably would've wanted just to sit around the hotel pool/hot tub. Then I would have felt lame for not taking advantage of the trip to go out hiking. Instead, by staying home, I spent the weekend sitting around our pool/hot tub, and it felt great.
Not everything was awesome just because we stayed home. I was a bit sick on Saturday afternoon. It delayed me going to the pool for two hours, and when I did go I (a) missed the hottest part of day, a high of 92°, when I most wanted to be in the pool, and (b) had to take it easy rather than getting exercise in the water. Partly to make up for that I went back to the pool on Sunday afternoon. I was feeling 100% by then and was able to get some exercise, though the temperatures outside had cooled off to a mere 80° and no longer screamed, "Awesome pool weather!"
Sunday evening we got an unexpected call (well, text actually) fromsome_other_dave. It was too late to meet for dinner, but we hung out at our place for a while after he ate. It was good low-key socializing.
I've also used this weekend to catch up a bit on my blogging. Oh, I've posted no shortage of blogs recently. Between Monday and Friday I posted 12. Between yesterday and today I've posted 7. Despite all that I've still got a backlog of blogs from our WV/NC trip. Yes, the one that actually finished two weeks ago now, on Sept. 24. I posted an entry from that trip this morning and aim to push out about one a day as part of my blog roll over the coming week.
