I had a great Sunday today. I didn’t do any work but I had a great Sunday. Hell, it’s probably one of the reasons why I had a great Sunday.
First of all we woke up at 9am but stayed in bed until 10am. I have to say that staying in bed for an hour or so on the weekends is one of my favorite things in the world. I will be sad to give it up when we have our baby, unless I just bring her into bed with us…
After we had a quick breakfast I dragged Mi.Vida on a walk in Golden Gate park. After quite a lot of rain and clouds last month it was a gorgeous day today and I wanted to be out in the sunshine. I also wanted to make up for my poor showing exercise-wise this week. We drove to the park and power walked (well I power walked, which Mi.Vida thought looked very “cute”) for about four miles. Then Mi.Vida took the car to an appointment and I walked the rest of the way home. It was a beautiful day and it felt great to be moving my body.
On my way home I crossed the dog park by my house. The sun will still out and I felt so warm from the walk that I decided to postpone grad school work and take a book out there to read on the grass. And that is exactly what I did. I only lasted about an hour before I had to pee again but it was a great hour in the afternoon sun reading a fun novel.
By the time I left it was getting pretty chilly and by the time I got home I was quite cold. So I decided to take a bath. It was the first bath I’ve ever taken in this apartment, and I’ve lived here for six years! I have to say, it’s a small tub but I could lay down pretty comfortably with my legs crossed. My boobs and tummy were definitely sticking out of the water but it was warm enough that that was okay, and it made me feel less worried about overheating. I have to say, it was quite relaxing and I’ll definitely be doing it again in the very near future.
For lunch I heated up the red pizole my parents left from the dinner the night before and by the time I was done eating Mi.Vida was home. I did two loads of laundry and watched some re-runs of Law and Order while folding the clothes. Now I’m supposed to be doing grad school work while Mi.Vida cooks us a healthy broccoli, chard and tofu sesame stir fry with brown rice. He just used the juicer to juice a ton of oranges and blood-red oranges for a very yummy, very pink concoction. After dinner we’re going to watch a movie, or a few episodes of Dexter season three, whichever time allows.
So all in all it was a good day. I didn’t get very much done but I nourished my body and my soul and you can’t ask for more than that. I wish all weekends were this low key. Now I only have to get through this week and I have a whole week off work! I can do it!
