Summer Mode Hotel and Resort

Checked in, no checkout date in sight

Hey friends,

July is always a funny month for me. There’s the 4th, and then there’s my anniversary on the 10th, and my birthday on the 29th. It’s a lot of occasion packed into 31 days.

But if I’m being totally honest? I’m not really sure what to write about this week. My brain has checked into Summer Mode Hotel and Resort and does not plan on leaving anytime soon.

Anyone else?

Here’s what’s happening over here. I have stopped exercising. Just stopped. No yoga. No Peloton. No stretching. Hell’s bells, I am not even walking the dogs. And y’all — I am happy as a clam about it.

This is so unlike me.

What I am doing: I’m reading everything I can get my hands on. I’m listening to audiobooks and loving it. I’m being goofy with Nugget and Blue. I’m lounging in the pool. I’m crocheting a blanket. And I am finally — FINALLY — learning how Substack actually works. I’ve only been doing this for 18 months. About damn time.

I haven’t disappeared. I’ve just switched channels.

So if your workout routine has gone on vacation without you, if your to-do list is gathering dust, if you’re doing something that looks a lot like nothing — you’re in good company. Pull up a pool float.

I only do exactly what I damn well please right now. And it feels fantastic.
