I woke up a little tired as I think the travel and all the activities had caught up with me. I have gone from being fairly sedentary (running a couple times a week but driving almost everywhere else) to being a walker again. Since I have been back in Toulouse, I have averaged 15k steps… Read More Fun but relaxed day
This morning, I got up at a reasonable hour after a good night’s sleep. My attempt to fight jet lag worked last night. I hope that it will work until I have conquered jet lag. After I got up, I had a leisurely breakfast, posted to the blog and got ready to head out. I… Read More Getting Settled
At this time a week from today, I will be eating dinner at Le Panache in Toulouse. As those of you who have read the blog know, Le Panache is my home away from home in Toulouse. I look forward to dinner there because of the food but more so because of Ervim and Enzo.… Read More About to start the next episode of this chapter of life
My friend, Dima, and I decided to take a spontaneous trip to Bélize. We are going to spend six days on San Pedro. Michelle, Dina’s girlfriend, nice drove us to the airport for an early morning flight. I like the concept of getting to the destination early but not sure I am good with having… Read More First Day in Belize
I did not run with the group in the morning as I listened to my body. I did not set the alarm clock and decided if I was awake at 6:00 am I would run but if not, my body was telling me it needed more sleep. My body won out and I slept in… Read More Had dinner with an old friend which was great
I feel like I am returning to normal in Alexandria. I have started doing the normal things one has to do in life. I had done some of them before but I also was stuffing in lots of must dos prior to this. I got up and did life maintenance. I had to do laundry… Read More Regular Day
It was one of those days that was very fun but filled with multiple activities that kept me hopping all day. Emily has a house in Troy, NY and moves up there for the summer. I always joke that we need to get our sojourns away from Alexandria in sync as I leave for spring… Read More Fun but busy day
Since I had taken the redeye back from San Diego, I was pretty tired. I made breakfast and unpacked. I am pretty organized and probably a little OCD so I have to unpack immediately when I get back from a trip. Put the dirty clothes in the laundry basket, put the electronic chargers and those… Read More First Day Back in Alexandria
I started my trip to San Diego to see Sarah, Tom and Liam. It will be a fun trip. The travel out to San Diego was not ideal but as my father always said, if you have time to spare, go by air. My original flight through Detroit was cancelled so the new flight was… Read More Trip to Visit Sarah, Tom and Liam
I was suffering from jet lag so woke up fairly early. I had tried to stay up until at least 10:00 pm to try to get me to sleep longer but woke up around 3:30-4:00 am. I tried to go back to sleep but failed so ended up reading. I made tea to go with… Read More First full day back in Alexandria
