End of Summer ‘Fessions

 

…and, just like that, it feels like Summer has hit the gas pedal, full throttle, and is speeding outta here.

While most are ecstatic for the heat to leave, I’m not in that camp, LOL. While that’s not a new revelation, it always surprises me how quickly the summer season comes to an end. Even with a few sporadic remaining heat waves to enjoy, the diminishing daylight is always a buzzkill. 

That being said, it’s great timing to hit the ‘Fessional with some late-Summer ‘fessions. Believe it or not, there’s plenty to discuss. 

If you’ll allow me to begin…

Stepping Out

These feet were made for walking, and that’s just what they did!

Suffice it to say there were a lot of steps logged this week, and I don’t mean on the stairway. I know this is all good for me, but Holy Yowza, I was feeling fatigued on a few mornings. 

Any regrets? Absolutely ZERO!

Sketchy Weather Aplenty

 The Sweltering Summer Continues…

Not only have the heat and humidity been in force,  but rain (heavy rain, nonetheless) joined their party this week. Another derecho swept through part of Iowa, and wreaked havoc on some other Midwestern states as well. 

Momma N, can you cut us a break? Please, and thank you!

Alive & Kicking in August

Welcome to August!

I’m not quite sure how we are already a full week into August, but here we are. Thankfully, the summer heat is still with us (because we all know I’m in NO hurry for cool weather). 

My best strategy is to appreciate the here and now instead of dwelling on the slowly dwindling daylight. Glass half full!

Chillin’ & Chattin’

 

How does a relaxing cup of coffee (or tea, or water , or fill-in-the-blank) sound?

Would you be sipping a warm beverage, or do you prefer chilled drinks this time of year? Although the temps are warm (actually, they’ve been downright scalding at times), I still gotta have my morning beverage hot. Call me weird, LOL.  

That said, I can still take a”chill,” and enjoy the moment as I sip away…

Care to join me for some conversation?

A Return to Routine

Yes, my friends, I rallied back!

After last week’s RAGBRAI busyness, lack of running, and a very compromised sleep schedule, I made it  back to my routine. The running resumed, there was a better showing of strength workouts, and my sleep was back on track (for the most part).

 Yay me!

…amidst the heat of Summer ‘Fessions

 It’s definitely been feeling hot hot hot! 

The heat of the summer has been strong this month. Despite Momma N testing my love of the season, there’s been a lot happening, outdoors and otherwise. 

As luck would have it, another month is winding down. Shall we hit the ‘fessional, so we can start the new month with a clear mind? 

If you’ll allow me to get this ‘Fession party started…
