Oh no, I canceled my vacation!

I just don't feel like going to Rhode Island. Dean hates the beach and what else is there to do? I did want to go see Slater Mill, get clam cakes and chowder and walk on the beach early in the morning. Plus it will be cool there and you can smell the ocean and hear the waves.

But somehow, a nice clear stretch of time with no trips seems even more soothing this year. I can get stronger in my silks class, go to band practice and go see my very own white horse lots more.

I know I have to make a trip to Florida in December and I do want to go to SF in November. I'm just tired of packing and unpacking and being away.

There is something about taking trips that makes me gain weight no matter how much I swear I will not. I have gained 7 pounds in the last 2 months. That's why I had pizza tonight - to celebrate the start of a diet tomorrow!!! right.

I have not been riding or doing yoga since my two classes at my gym got canceled. So the lack of exercise is really telling. I will go up to the class in the Woodlands tomorrow morning. I did climb to the top of the silks today - all the way up to the ceiling of the gym!

Tonight I am half re-reading a trashy regency romance novel and half watching an Astros/Cubs game and in the meantime, Dean keeps muting the game and telling me about the German verbs he is having trouble with since he is half studying German and half watching the game. No one has to clean the kitchen since we had pizza-

Poem that I like

A dream is an apparition
A phantom of life in its most unreal moments.
It eludes you
It slips through your fingers
It is nothing.
