| Random scene from a couple weeks ago |
In a few days, we will have been in Los Angeles for four weeks. Tomorrow O and I are driving back to to the Bay because I have an OB appointment, and also to pick up some stuff, like summer clothes, food we left in the freezer, etc. When we left, we thought we'd be here for two, maybe three weeks. Ha! Looks like it'l be at least two months now. M will stay with the in-laws, and we'll drive back on Saturday.
It's been raining a lot here. Good for the plants and the environment. Not great for my summer-craving self. But LA is apparently at 100% of average rainfall, so there's that.
Work is chugging along. I'm more productive on some days than others, and I'm positive that I wouldn't get very much done without my beloved StayFocusd Chrome extension. The lure of the news, blogs, Instagram, and other random web surfing is just too intoxicating. I'm enjoying "Digital Minimalism" by Cal Newport, and hope to implement more and more of his recommendations over time.
I've been pretty disciplined about exercise. 30 minutes on the exercise bike each morning (not very strenuous) and a 20-30 minute walk each afternoon. Walks are becoming more difficult due to my pregnant form (just passed 29 weeks). The good news is that next week, I will be 7 months pregnant! And the following week I'll be only 2 months away from my due date. Until then, I'll just keep on "checking off" each day.
Podcast keeping me sane: "Best of Both Worlds", "Pod Save America", "How to Money", "Call Your Girlfriend" and "Happier with Gretchen Rubin".
