Self Care

Next week is my last summer Friday. And while I have had some special time with each of the boys in Louisville, I have not a day focused on “me” while home. That changed yesterday. 

Alana picked me up around 9:00 and we headed to Ft. Collins with a stop in Longmont for Starbucks. Google took us on a bit of detour, but we found the trailhead to a gorgeous hike. We stopped at a bar and grill close to the hike and sat outside for lunch. D-man called when we sat down and it was a such a treat to hear from him. The first words out of his mouth, “I survived my first week of college.” He sounded like he had a great week despite having a 102 fever on Tuesday. It sounds like that all of Miami is sick (and likely all with COVID given what D-man is saying and what I’m reading on the parent Facebook group). But, he was not going to miss class and fought through the week). Ugh. 

After lunch, we headed to the paddle board launching spot on Horsetooth Reservoir. It was cloudy while we were on the water, but it was not busy and it was so nice to be out with Alana. We had so much to catch up on as our summer schedules have not agreed with each other. Thankful for a friend today for so many reasons today. 



We saw quite a few deer in our hike - they were not scared of us at all.
