Nods and Smiles

I seriously had the worst week in terms of exhaustion and stress. It's a terrible combination, in case you were curious.

And then, positive reviews came in my inbox and I didn't feel like I was a total waste of oxygen after all.

Thank you, friends and clients, for your kindness and faith in me. Especially when, some days/weeks, I can't muster the strength to carry myself.

I love you.

 

Hiked to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite on 2013-05-27. Go me! :)

If Only....

A ton of New Amsterdam tulips.

• It's easy to forget to do things. Hence: task lists. And calendars.
• If there was a pill you could take to be full and nourished instead of eating, I would totally take that pill every now and then. I love to eat, but having to nourish myself on a daily basis gets to be quite time-consuming. I know, I know... total white whine! :)

JT's Still Got It!

I'm really impressed by how totally effortless the whole performance looks. I bet it took many, many hours of rehearsing.

Respect.

This is currently the song that, when played on the radio, I turn up the volume immediately!

Let me show you a few things....

Mission Peak

There are so many wonderful views from the Mission Peak hike in Fremont (Weekend Sherpa) that it's hard to believe it's free. BUT IT IS TOUGH! Some tips:

• You should not attempt this hike during mid-day. Start as early as you can. There is very little shade (three small spots, if I recall correctly). 
• Wear sunscreen.
• Wear long sleeves.
• Wear a hat.
• Wear sunglasses.
• Bring lots of water.
• Bring your dog only if you're ready to carry him/her up/out if necessary.
• Bring water for your dog.

Yep, the views and the hilariously nonchalant squirrels are worth the visit.

Happy hiking!

Catch Up

Yesterday was basically a wash, work-wise. I spent 5 hours hiking and then 2 hours napping/recuperating and then 4 hours on a date night. 

Today? Catching up.
