After work I had a great swim–watch free. I didn’t track any of it, other than my mileage and time. I swam 1.5 miles in 56 minutes. I usually just swim 1.25 miles but after breaking my record last weekend and swimming 2 miles I knew I could do more than the norm. It felt nice to swim! The pool was nice and relaxing and I was looking forward to the weekend starting! It was in the high 70’s in Portland on Friday and absolutely gorgeous out. Michael and I just wanted to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine! We sat outside on the back porch in the warm sunshine and just RELAXED. (Relaxation? What’s that??)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMichael got the grill going after a long<\/em> winter! YAY grilling season! I had a few tortilla chips and some green olives with my bratwurst for dinner. I also enjoyed one beer (just one). It’s hard for me to just sit still and relax. I am a multi-tasker and usually doing three things at once. It’s rare for me to really enjoy downtime so it was a nice change. While we were just sitting and relaxing in the yard, we had a show from the local wildlife. A stray cat visited the yard and Fat Kitty went nuts in the kitchen. He stood on his hind legs like a dog and scratched on the glass door. But then this arrived:<\/p>\n

\nThis little guy better not be eating my lettuce!!! Speaking of lettuce, my garden is blooming like crazy! Michael’s hose setup has done wonders. Everything bulked up and I’m starting to find fruit on the limbs–strawberries, tomatoes and peppers!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWe’d planned on going out after dinner to get drinks with friends but we decided we both hit the wall like three days ago. This week has been super busy, stressful, exhausting…By 9 p.m. I was tired and ready to get in my jammies instead of putting on heels to go out. So Michael and I split a donut for dessert:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt was small and Michael tried desperately to get me to go to Krispie Kreme for real donuts. I resisted! I said splitting the one donut was dessert enough for us and he finally relented. It was a good donut. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
