Until this past weekend, it had been a year and a half since I ran more than 17 miles at once. I had to look back at my training logs to confirm the date, mileage, and pace because I couldn’t remember if I had run that distance in the absence of a fall marathon goal race in 2019 (I knew I hadn’t run that distance in 2020).

On Saturday evening, my family got together via Google Meet to play Yahtzee. The last time we tried this, each of us kept score on our own. This time, my sister created a scorecard in Excel and shared her screen while keeping track of our scores electronically during the game.

K and I took Scooter, our cat, to the vet for a check-up visit last Friday. Scooter never enjoys the experience, but this time he seemed to be more upset than usual.

How are you doing? It’s been a heck of a week…talk about a roller coaster ride. Aside from continuing to vote and contacting my elected officials, I’m not sure I can do much to fix what’s happening in our country right now.

Being Gracious

The word gracious means “courteous, kind, and pleasant.”  I’ve been struggling with being gracious this week.  I’ve been struggling with being patient, too.   It’s been one of those weeks where you just wish you were an irresponsible jane, and, instead, you’re gal wonder – making the magic happen and losing your sh*t in the process.  This is not my favorite place to be.  So I’m owning it and thinking about what I can learn from it.
