Currently - July '17

Unbelievably, I am on time for this month's Currently post! Don't let your shock prevent you from visiting Anne and Stephanie and checking out what others have been up to lately.

documenting - Just because this blog is less food-centric than it used to be doesn't mean I've stopped taking photos of my food. We've had a good run of home cooked meals lately, thanks to the bounty of produce from our weekly CSA box, and I've been snapping photos with the idea that one of these days I'll put together a post with the highlights. The pickles above were a quick and easy way to make use of two weeks worth of radishes and cucumbers that had been piling up.

accomplishing - After taking about a month off, I've been running twice this week, trying to get back into a routine. Both times felt pretty good physically and provided some much needed stress relief!

enjoying - Plenty of summer food and drinks. More ice cream = yet another reason to get back into regular running.

reading - I have way more books in progress these days than I usually do, probably because there are a few non-fiction books I'm in the middle of that haven't really held my attention. I spent a nice chunk of the afternoon yesterday on the sofa with a book which made me think it was time to plan a real vacation (not just a day off work) to enjoy back to back days of reading and relaxing, preferably with a view of the mountains or a beach.

spending - Until the 'real' vacation plans take shape, I'll make do spending the upcoming weekend with Keizo at concert on Friday and camping Saturday/Sunday. After almost two months of working weekends, Keizo finally has the same two days off I do--just in time to celebrate his 36th birthday. Whoo hoo!
