Running... Again?

Image
  If you know me you know there was a time about 10 years ago or so where I was running. A lot. At least 5 days a week and at least 5 miles a run. I wasn’t training, I wasn’t preparing for a race or a marathon. I just found myself enjoying the time spent running. I wasn’t obsessed with numbers, but I kept track of them all and liked seeing improvements in time and distances. It was good physical health and mental health. Then I tweaked my knee. Not bad enough that I couldn’t walk on it, just a tweak that told me I needed to back off of running for a little bit. So I decided on 2 weeks. At the end of 2 weeks I aborted a run very early as the pain was still there. 2 weeks became 3, became a month, became 5 years. 

This seems appropriate for today.

It's a margarita & Indiana Jones kind of night.

Nightscape mode on the OnePlus 8 Pro is kind of hit or miss. I think this is mostly a hit.

It's Memorial Day Weekend here in the USA. The unofficial start of summer and griddle season. Am I doing it right?

Today Was a Good Day

Image
Happiness in various forms Today was a good day. Which means the other days weren't. And that's just the truth. I've been realizing for a while now that my mood has been less than good lately, and has been getting worse over the last 3 or 4 weeks. The monotony of Quarantine Life was getting to me, but I wasn't allowing myself to admit to that. As a happy member of the introverts club this should be my shining moment! No need to come up with excuses to not go out with people from work or reasons to leave early?! Sign me up. And for the first month or so things were fine. Then I noticed I was getting short with the people I do interact with. I was cutting daily walks with the dog short, and I wasn't enjoying reading, or watching stuff. 

Another one of the "Other MoonMoon Watch". I like how this shot seemingly has stars showing on it.

It may be big, but I do enjoy it.

He acts all majestic in the wind; head up, fur flowing in the wind. I swear he poses on windy days.

Some more infrared shots from the OnePlus 8 Pro. It's fun to play with under the right conditions.

I'd been looking forward to this @crownandbuckle perlon to arrive, and had to get it on wrist right away. I think my KFA has it's summer threads. This looks great!

Let's face it, this guy isn't known as a lume monster. So when I caught him trying to show off a bit after coming inside I had to catch him in the act.

Woke up and watched @justbluefish make the argument that this guy could be an excellent candidate for a 1 watch collection. I have to respectfully agree.

So apparently today is Saturday. The Orient Mako II helping me time pancakes and keeping me up to date on just what day it is. The day complication might be my most useful complication these days. #pancakes🥞
