Regular Weekend Wins

August 23, 2026

Yesterday was such a good “normal” day. It’s lots of fun to look forward to travel and big adventures (I know I do plenty of this!) but a relaxing weekend day at home can be so nice, too.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • lovely walk outside while G had tennis
  • errand blitz post-tennis with G: library and TWO returns! (This was efficient and productive!)
  • first ever upper body gym session. I’ve been doing lower regularly, but upper body workouts have always been at home, as I have weights up to 25 lb and it has felt reasonably effective. I realized that there is a learning curve here – I kind of know the layout of the leg stuff but not the upper! But I found most of what I needed to find and thankfully Emma almost always has a free weight exercise option (could not find the rear delt machine and eventually gave up). Also I think I need a Cable Setting-Up Tutorial and I suspect YouTube has plenty . . .
  • watched ~20 minutes of Dolphins football
  • read a bunch of Whistler and then fell asleep for a ~30 min nap. (FAVE WEEKEND ACTIVITY, HA)
  • dinner out with Miami Beach fam! No kids this time (A babysat) other than my 17 year old niece Ellie.
out @ MOTEK – mostly shared tons of apps + dips. DELICIOUS.
  • “Guess the 90s song” game in the car with Josh on the way home (blindly making selections from the Apple Music 90s playlist and trying to be the first one to figure out what it was). This was wildly entertaining.

Anyway, just feeling lucky today. It’s fun to look forward to the bigger things but when a ‘regular day’ is great it’s nice to acknowledge that too.
