Mon 3 Aug

Spent some time this weekend going over the Maritimes vacation itinerary. Sent questions to Piper which I will follow up by trying to make phone contact, though I'll probably give her today to respond by email also. Decided to reserve a night at the hotel before our Park N Fly since our flight leaves at 7:05 so we have to be at the airport around 5 am. Had a nice hike at Roche-a-Cri yesterday followed by a shrimp pizza at Two Lakes. Was a lovely day. Food: 7:45 am 92 g cherry almond kringle, 102 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Sun 2 Aug

Four weeks from today we leave for the Maritimes. Getting excited, but wish we could get the confirmation information from Audley. Cantor this morning with Sandy for a visiting priest from the Salvatoreans. Weather has moderated a bit for the time. Food: 7:50 am 77 g cherry almond kringle, 101 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Sat 1 Aug

So nice to have the day free to myself, with only laundry as an obligation. I don't mind helping out the Suzuki folks by working in the store, but I am always glad when it's done. I have come to really appreciate my time. Food: 8:00 am 95 g morning bun, 105 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Fri 31 Jul

Last day of ASI and then I reclaim my free time. I'm quite ready. Holding off laundry til tomorrow since we're not planning to go anywhere and I'll have the day free. I work 9:30-12:30 and again 1:30-3:30 as Caleb isn't working today (I assume). Thankful that Duo put me in an easy group this week so I have been able to do a few less lessons when I get home tired at the end of some days. Food: 8:00 am 120 g morning bun, 102 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Thurs 30 Jul

Happy heavenly birthday, Mom! Miss you! Around this time in 2008, we all first went to the North Shore for Mom's 90th birthday. Only two more days of work at ASI store, and I'll be ready to reclaim my time. Food: 7:55 am 122 g cinnamon croissant, 102 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Wed 29 Jul

Decided not to do the Body Pump in-studio video as this is the only morning this week I have pretty much to myself, and I want to savor it. Weather remains more tolerable. Yesterday was literally a breath of fresh air, and today should be similar. Food: 7:55 am 145 g cinnamon croissant, 103 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Tues 28 Jul

Very high sleep score last night with very little waking. Feeling pretty well-rested this morning as a result. Don't have to go in til noon today so I can do my Strong Bodies this morning. Not supposed to be quite so hot today. Was happy to accept a ride from OBT to the library with Charm, and delighted that halfway home, Michael and Taylor picked me up on Pine Street as it was wicked hot. Food: 7:45 am 134 g cinnamoon croissant, 102 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder
