“I’m gonna have as much fun as I can and figure out the rest when I hatch out a plan”

—Outasight, Tonight is the Night

More Natural Rest has totally fallen by the wayside, but it also hasn’t, at all, because I’m so exhausted (generally in a good way!) that the rest I do get is pretty darn natural. I’m not sure what happened, but this year has shifted into more of a ‘GET IT, GIRL!’ mode. Actually I do know what happened.

1. Fell in love with and then joined a workout studio temporarily that I adore and that gets me out of bed to a 60-minute ass-kicking workout most days, and not just gets me going physically, but gives me confidence in what I can do the rest of the day, too (because it is so fun but so hard) – barre3. I’m sure I’ll get over it one day but for now it’s a good time.

2. Got a new boss (6 months ago) whom I adore who inspires me to get after it and get stuff done. Everything she says about why we’re doing things makes sense and makes work matter in the best way, plus she believes in us and is just really fun to be around. I can’t say more because of my whole not-say-things-about-work thing, but, yeah. It’s good.

So. It is no longer Friday, but now I shall do FRIDAY FIVES.

Five things that matter to me in a car once I look for a new car someday, in order:
1. Sunroof
2. Safety
3. Good fuel economy
4. Not very large or white
5. Affordable

Five physical skills I still hope to get/get back one day:
1. 10 pull ups
2. Press handstand (not from ground, that’s not possible for me)
3. Some kind of ‘big’ gymnastics tricks to show Preschooler1 (eg, beam routine, kips/giants, etc.)
4. Better and wider variety of yoga arm balances
5. Backwards skating

Five things I hope to do today:
1. Put together a swingset
2. Figure out birthday gifts for a bunch of people
3. Assemble favor bags for Preschooler1’s birthday
4. Drink coffee quietly while it rains (about to happen)
5. Take a breather, SEE: GET IT.

Five things about Kindergarten I didn’t expect:
1. To already get phone calls from the school (recorded, but still—welcoming us)
2. To have a ‘kindergarten playground night’ this summer to get to know others (I don’t really want this for me, but I do for Preschooler1, obviously)
3. To already have a teacher assigned (suspicion based on what I know: she is the best one)
4. To already have the PTA ON MY BACK UGH
5. To have a list of summer assignments(?!) on being kind

This shall be a Transition.

GET IT, GIRL!
