So it's been a lovely, relaxing sort of day. I slept late - until 9:30 a.m., which doesn't seem all that particularly late in the grand scheme of things. It seems like it was just a few years ago that I had zero trouble sleeping until noon, but now I can't seem to sleep past 10 a.m. without needing to get up, scurry around, drink a cup or five of coffee and DO something. Might be an aging thing, though I suspect the caffeine withdrawals might play into the equation somewhere.

Anyway, so I got up this morning with only one thing I really wanted to do today: pamper myself. I did do some grocery shopping - because despite having a variety of food I could eat, there was really nothing I wanted to eat. When I got home I put together a Crockpot full of chili and after a couple hours of napping I set about the personal care ritual and I now have a pretty French pedicure, fresh, clean skin and soft shaven legs. Also, I have a freezer full of vegetable chili and most of a can of chipotle chilis in adobo sauce for which I need to find a recipe.

In general, it has been a good weekend: Friday afternoon I spent with my mom's family celebrating Independence Day and my mom's birthday. Yesterday was low-key and (mostly) spent around the house. Nothing terribly exciting but also not a bad way to spend a weekend. I feel refreshed and ready to head back to work!!

And now I'm off to bed because tomorrow I'm going to attempt to get back on the daily exercise wagon, but if anyone has any ideas what I can make with those chipotle chilis (besides making another batch of chili) I'm all ears.
