Going to attempt to get some work done today. I'm also still trying to get Owen in somewhere for therapy - can't seem to get a call back from anyone who is coming highly recommended. All of my therapist friends are nagging me that he needs EMDR, but I'm not sure about that yet. I'd like to get him into someone experienced with trauma and just have them talk to him and see what they think. He honestly seems to be adjusting fairly well, considering he was running from gun shots just over a week ago. He's been with friends 24-7, and when he's home, he seems to be mostly back to his normal self. He's done fine with crowds and loud noises at this point, but who knows how he'll handle going back to the scene. He's definitely scared to go back to school, and that's totally understandable - at this point, I'm mostly trying to find someone experienced to work through this with him.
Going to have to skip mountain bike practice today since Owen has a dermatologist appt. Hopefully I can get ou[...]

Thursday - WFH so it's nice not to be rushing out the door this morning. 
It's going to be very hot outside today but starting out so cool. I have the big patio doors open to let some cool air in and hoping i won't have to put on the AC. 
 

Iron BODi Block Bis, Tris and Shoulders - this was good, not too much to say about it

7:30am: Did I tell y'all about my thumb? I was playing the role of the cool aunt over a month ago and went into the river to play with my niece, and within 13 seconds, I had fallen. Hurt my shin and thumb, but didn't think much about it. Now, if google is correct, I have Trigger Thumb. The tip of my thumb doesn't want to hyperextend and when I force it, it clicks. Lots of pain at the base of the thumb. Basically, I believe (google tells me) that a tendon is getting caught up in the sheath that surrounds it.
Went to quick care on Sunday and they weren't too helpful. Took an x-ray, which was negative, which I expected. Gave a round of steroids, which maybe helps a bit, but not really so far. Oh, and a referral to a hand specialist, which I think I need to follow up on.
It's the thumb on my right/dominant hand and it's causing me a lot of trouble, honestly. I mean, who knew that having a working thumb on your dominant hand would be important? Hrmph.

I have a week trial of HBO so I can watch And Just Like That. I'm hoping I get it done because I don't need another subscription... I am really running out of enthusiasm for Carrie (especially with Aiden - barf) and the girls, but I also need to know what's happening.  

Full body on Peloton. I really liked this routine.

Love my grandkids so much, but thank heavens, I am home. I am going to sleep for a week now.
Yes, I was a single parent for a decent chunk of time, but I was about 20 years younger then. lol

Made it to the office WITH my backpack today. I am proud of myself for getting my workout done this morning but i have to figure out the breakfast/coffee situation on office days. Ordering Starbucks now. Obsessed with the cold brew with pumpkin foam ... 
Last night Darren and I did a bit of searching for a little long weekend getaway for our anniversary which is Oct 2. But our weekends are getting filled and especially Darren is feeling a lot of pressure about work. He took 3 weeks off in August basically right after getting a new product line assigned to him (and the big layoffs) and then had the big dealer show this past week and weekend which was a lot of glad-handing not a lot of getting work done. So he wants to not take a bunch more time off. I am more flexible. I haven't really taken all that much time this year and have some i could use. Anyway, i also didn't want to leave it too late because the weather will be crappier and crappier. 
But as I mentioned many fo[...]

8:12am: I'm in a Peloton Field testing group and so I've had to turn off all social connected to Peloton, which includes Strava, which is how things get propagated to Garmin and then to here. It's a tangled web, but it has always worked -- except now that I had to turn it off. Mildly annoying to have to manually enter workouts (and I'm not doing a good job of it, like entering mileage and such), but it's fun seeing new Peloton features before anyone else.
Hair cut today and HOO BOY is it needed!! I've been trying to grow out my hair, but I'm absolutely done with it. If the only thing I'm looking forward to is it being long enough to pull into a ponytail, then I might as well keep it short, which suits my style and looks good on me.
And, the trip to NH is next week!! I'm very excited! There will be 15 of us there, about half of which will be doing All The Hiking. Two sets of parents that will be doing All The Relaxing. And the rest doing some of each. We'll also be celebrating my [...]
