I got up early this morning to go see the Obama Portraits at the de Young Museum before the exhibit leaves. There were busloads of unmasked tourists who showed up at the same time as I did, which wasn't great. Also it's been 80% humidity and I was soaked with sweat, so I didn't actually spend that much time at the museum. I can go back whenever, so at least I got to see some art, get in a walk, and buy a fancy teacup.

That's what it's all about, really.

I really dig the teacup!
I hope everyone has better days and cooler weather.

Yikes ND, that sounds exhausting!
I was supposed to go to a craft fair this morning but my friend canceled yesterday. Turned out for the best though because I had a headache this morning! Managed to make it to the soccer game but we lost, sadly.

Made some progress on my project. Going in for a bowl of Cheerios now. I'll put in one more hour tonight, I think...
Hope you're making good progress, ND.

Our wings are not tired.
so I've had a leisurely 3-day weekend, mostly reading
Sounds perfect.
Yeah, I'm getting too old for full overnight shifts
It used to be an all too often event in our business life, but fortunately a rare one now. Maybe once or twice a year we will pull an all-nighter, and laugh about it for the flashback to the old days factor. I do hope that they become increasingly rare for you too, ND.
Ah, Monday. Up at 5:30, coffee made, animals attended, in workout gear, I'll be out the door at 6:25 to run to gym, then back home and at the computer for morning madness before 8. DH spent yesterday playing with his sister and will be headed this way this morning. Really looking forward to his arrival later. Went to BJ's for a massive curbside pickup order in prep for his arrival. Have I mentioned repeatedly how much I love all the curbside pickup and delivery options? As a lifelong shopping hater this is a wonderful new world. Don't like the impetus that made it happen, but it is awesomesauce.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Had a low key day, but we did take a long drive in the countryside. Went out to our fave local restaurant, a German place which has been in business since 1935. Did I have the most decadent Black Forest cake ever created for dessert? Why yes I did.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm dogsitting at the beach in Maine this week, which is great, but the weather is going to be iffy the next few days, so I feel like I'd better get on the beach this morning, but I don't feel like it this minute. (I have already been to the beach with the dog.)

I just remembered there is a training I could/should do today for semi-work (a thing I do outside of my actual job), so I can stay sitting around! Phew.
