Relaxing

After a massive heat wave in which I worked outside in 110 degree heat every day, today is an absolute gift. The high of the day was 80, the humidity is low, the sky is clear, there is a light breeze. 

I got home from work and thought I would go outside and DO something: go for a run, perhaps, or a bike ride. The I walked in the front door and realized how incredibly tired I am. I am doing what my old swim coach used to say and am listening to my body. I'm pooped. So I stead of running around like a crazy person and depleting my energy even more, I have parked my butt in my recliner in my living room, my windows are open, I can feel that wonderful breeze and smell the fresh air. I have my iPad in my lap, a magazine and my kindle nearby, and I poured the last of the monastrell that I opened earlier this week. 

This is a beautiful evening.
