I did not workout nearly as much as I did walking all over DC, but the gym and neighborhood walks are still pretty good in my opinion. Counted points pretty well until the actual 4th of July when I suddenly had a lot of events going on- fairly rare for me since more often than not my peeps don't do much to celebrate it. But this year, we did, and they were all back-to-back, so it got complicated, and I was unable to keep track by the end of everything.
Monday, Mom and I finished our trip and made it home midday. I got the bulk of my unpacking done that afternoon, and then I crashed. I crashed until the next evening actually. I think finally being back in my old bed just let me completely unwind and relax in a way you just can't do in a hotel bed- no matter how nice it is. Tuesday night, I went to trivia with my Church group- and we won! So much fun! Wednesday, I made it back to the gym for a workout on the elliptical. That evening, I went to a Catechesis class (since I will be teaching a few Theology II classes again after all : ) ). It was fine, I felt rather antsy from all my travels though I think. Thursday, I went up to SBA to get books and to start moving into my new classroom- it's so spacious and has three windows! That afternoon, I joined Kristin and the gals to get my nails done and have dinner as her bachelorette activity :) Lots of laughs were had. Then, I went to Sean's to see him finally. We had a nice time catching up.
Friday, I made deviled eggs and got ready for my Fourth of July activities. Mom hosted a cook out for the family and some friends. We had plenty of good eats, lots of laughs, and a few moments of worry while the men folk figured out the grill (SO MANY FLAMES). After we had finally finished gorging, it was time for my next activity- Kristin and Mark's rehearsal dinner at the Redbird's game. More food, lots of catching up and laughs, and at the end- FIREWORKS!!! After that, I went home and went up to the roof to watch the 360-view of fireworks with the others in my apartment complex. Wound up chatting for an hour with some of them. Then, finally went to sleep.
Saturday morning, Mom and I went to Memaw's to lounge with her by the pool. Then, I got ready for Kristin and Mark's wedding ceremony. It was very lovely. After that, I rested up some before the reception that night at the Zoo. It was such a fun reception- complete with a sea lion show, a polar bear feeding, and so much dancing that my feet are still recovering today. Today, I got up and made myself go to 8am Mass. Then, I came home and went back to sleep for awhile. After my nap, I did some cleaning and organizing before my CYA Leadership meeting. We got some good stuff accomplished :) Then, it was back home for some more resting and finally soaking my feet to get them functional for tomorrow.
Now, to rest up and see what this week has in store.
