It’s that ridiculous time of year in Austin where you WANT it to be fall and it’s just not … you might get some cool mornings, but then we’re back up in the high 90s in the middle of the day. Nonetheless, I’m making pumpkin centerpieces to keep it fall in my house, while updating the backyard to take advantage of the last days of a cool Cowgirl Pool—the heater is ready for when it actually gets cold here!
What I’m grateful for this week:
My cousin’s overnight visit may have been short but it covered Bachelorette premiere and a Tiny’s coffee run so really what more could you ask for?
Y’all. Via313 makes a gluten free crust. It is fluffy. I have never experienced anything so fluffy in my life that’s g-free.
Friggin’ love my weight set… makes me SO happy.
Yoga in studio! I got to take two classes in person and it’s just so much better.
I’ve been a bit bummed over the past week*, my weekend was pretty intense. But I am grateful I know what I need to do to stay the course and make me a happy Lys, even when I don’t feel like doing the things: workouts, cooking healthy foods, supporting others like CFF, reading, and keeping moving at work.
My parents stopped by for a mini Backyard Ball and some slices of pizza 🙂 So cute, and so lucky and grateful to be so physically close to my fam.
Of course, can’t write a gratitude list without mentioning my loyal sidekick, the grouchy old lady I too will be someday, a weird-laying, sneaky ramp-using, hilarious just-who-she-is pup named Nali.
*This post is a gratitude list, but I think it’s worth sharing something I wrote here on this page on Monday of this week: Sometimes it’s crazy to be inside this head. Like, I feel like I haven’t done enough… and my boss says I hit the ground running. I am bummed about an ending, when I knew it was coming and it’s right and it doesn’t change that he’s sweet and kind and we had fun together. It’s just hard living in this harsh, harsh head and it’s probably definitely 100% why my therapist is constantly reminding me to be gentle with myself.
