Hi ho... I'm back. I did a quick read thru the posts to get caught up. Hope all those with aches and pains are feeling better.
@DisFam95 I wear the wrist style FitBit, and have the newer Alta version. I like it well enough, and do prefer the slimmer band, but I've been wondering if the pendant style has better longevity as I seem to have to replace mine every year and a half.
The week off was lovely, and really seemed to have been longer than a week as it was broken in to three sections... I came to work this morning wondering if I was in trouble for forgetting to come to work and taking extra time. The block printing class was wonderful... I hadn't even thought about how nice it was going to be to be in the company of others who were there to intentionally learn and create, but when I walked in I knew immediately that the room was full of members of my tribe. I've carved a couple little blocks on my own, and intend to keep practicing. I really wish I had had another day at the beach: there were just the right amount of people around but it was still nice and calming. The weather was perfection, with coolness in the mornings and then sun during the day. I accomplished very little once I got home, but hey, it was a vacation after all.
And now this morning we have the eclipse. Seattle is at about 92%... I didn't get glasses, as I am more interested in the overall shadow or darkening affect and I figure there will be lots on images of the actual eclipse to look at. NASA is sending up a plane that it will broadcast from, which should be interesting.
Didn't eat properly while on vacation, and didn't get in very many steps or drink enough water, but when meeting with the Nutritionist Thursday had a significant ah-ha realization that fatigue is the way my body signals hunger, and that when I get to the point of fatigue its really too late. I really do need to train myself to eat every three hours. And I need to train myself to keep to a routine, when I'm not forced to keep the work driven routine.
The office is nice and quiet, with many people on a trip to one of our facilities on the east coast... including my boss- woohoo.
Have a wonderful day everyone.
