A good day to lay low

I am going to lay low today. I realized that I have one more week as a totally free woman before I start a new job. I am going to work at Community College of Aurora as a part time academic advisor. I will work Mon-Fri 11-3 from Nov 1 to Jan 31. I am really looking forward to getting back into a routine of work, and having the weekend mean something again. However, I am going to miss these days when I wake up and have a plethora of activities to choose from for the day.

This morning, I woke up a bit creaky and groggy. I walked with a friend and then we did the Friday yoga class at the rec center. It felt so good. I went to Barnes and Noble, got my daily Chai Tea Latte and bought a book-Just Like Us by Helen Thorpe. I came home, took the dogs for a nice walk and now I am preparing to crawl into bed and read. Maybe nap. I do plan to do a little yard work later on, and then I am going to Venice Restaurant with a friend whose parents are in town. It should be a good day-cool enough to justify the coziness of a bed and a book.

Lorrie and I finished up a week of art workshops and we will face next week with the same. We worked with kids from a low income housing area in Lowry and it was tough, but they tried to be good and listen and participate. We got the date of the open house of the building off 15th and Pearl where our art piece will live-December 16th. Expect an email invitation to attend the open house and view the art! Although, we don't really know what it will look like yet...

I will put that worry aside, close the laptop and put the jammies on. I hope you all can enjoy a day to lay low.
