Funky that's a bummer to delay your vacation, but I hope it ends up being much more relaxing this way. Last week was a mixed success from an exercise standpoint and this week is starting out the same. I didn't lift weights as much as I wanted last week, but added in an extra sunset hike with a bunch of ladies on Friday night. Saturday I pushed myself to an extra long swim. Unfortunately this seemed to be too much for me and I ended up being exhausted the rest of the day on Saturday. Utterly exhausted. I felt a little better on Sunday. I ended up skipping my workout Monday morning and I haven't done that in quite a while. I'm back on track as of yesterday with swimming, lifting, and running. Still doing intermittent fasting. Really pleased with success in dropping some winter / grief weight. I'm fitting into my smaller pant size again. I find fasting to be easier in the summer when I can find things to keep me busy, especially outside. I've been craving veggies but have also been feeling worn out and not enthused about cooking. I need to get back into the swing of things. I think I also need to get back to getting massages regularly. My massage therapist canceled an appointment last year and I never rescheduled after a crazy fall and winter. I'm have a lot of body aches and muscle pain lately. It can be challenging to fit in with a busy work schedule, but I really should see if I can make it happen. Hopefully she's still doing massage work.

Glenda, I have a hard time sitting still in general until dark. I think that's one reason I like winter. I'm forced to come inside and sit a bit more. I do enjoy watching a good series in the evenings during the darker part of the year. Your okra is amazing. And the flowers in front of it, beautiful. Larry, I had a hair appointment yesterday too. Just a 2 inch trim. I missed my June appointment. The woman who does my hair is BFFs with my friend who I work with. They were sorta in a fight and I didn't know what my obligation was in all of that. Anyway, they're good again...and I got my hair trimmed. My natural hair color (when I was younger) is auburn (or a darker red). My natural color now is confusing. LOL It's sort of a combination of grayish-brown, and strands of auburn along with silvery-white stands. I've been coloring it a medium brown because red is hard. It rarely looks natural. BUT, my natural auburn still comes out after a few washes. I thought it would be easier to go with brown, but it's not. I probably should spend the money and have a professional do it, but it's SO expensive. My sister has an easier time. She got the lighter red color. (My mom was a strawberry blonde and my dad had the same hair color as I do....or did). Anyway, her lighter red seems to be easier to color and looks more natural. I did 23 and Me a long time ago. You can look up your "raw data" with it. I looked at the "red hair" SNPs. I received a T allele from each parent on rs1805008. T is considered the risk allele because it's associated with a higher risk of melanoma and a likelihood of having red hair. I just read something the other day about UVs and that SNP. Probably why I'm so sensitive to sunlight. So, when I look like a dork in the garden--all covered up when it's 100 outside, that's why. I wanna look cute in a tank top and flipflops---but nope. Anyway....that was a lot of rambling geek talk. But, it is interesting that the darkness or lightness of one's hair is a separate thing. 23 and Me says I'm more likely to have dark hair. It also says I'm more likely to have red hair. Which explains the auburn, which is a darker red color. Anyway again.... Looks like we'll miss out on the rain this time. We had a few sprinkles this morning. We've been running errands in Norman this morning, but I'm about to head outside to water a few things. I got in at 8 last night. Did get the okra picked. It had been 5 days so a lot of it is too big but ran out of daylight. I want to plant my cabbages and greens, but also don't want to get too dirty because Tom and I are going to babysit this evening. I'll get them planted tomorrow. There's really not much new in the garden to talk about. Things look as good as can be expected without adequate rain. Jen, I'm with you. The marching band is so much more interesting! Did you get some good rain? It looked like your area had a good soaker. Larry, I enjoy your pictures.
