Summer 2018: Days 60-67

Unfailingly, the days after you return from vacation go fast.

You get back. You wonder how the trip went so fast but are happy to sleep in your own bed. You start realizing that, wow, you just did something fun a week ago. Then you realize, wow, two weeks have already passed since vacation started. That first day seemed so fun, but it's already a memory.

And then, you get back into your routine  Summer continues ...

This is what has transpired the past week:
  • Michael swam a meet last Tuesday, got three season bests despite not practicing for two weeks.
  • Ben swam a meet over the weekend at Cottonwood Heights Pool but wasn't as successful. He broke his toe last week and it was still hurting, plus he was still getting into his practice routine after vacation. He did get one PR.
  • Salt Lake is hot again. I did manage to open the windows last night because it was breezy out, but tonight it's back to sweltering.
  • Ben and his swim team had a pool party at another family's house in advance of this weekend's state meet.
  • Popcorn and I went for a long walk in Sugar House Park on Sunday.
  • The boys, the dog, and I walked to Dave's Shop and Go for ice cream Saturday night but caught in a sudden rainstorm. Lori picked us up.
  • I was in recovery mode on my day off Tuesday after we got back (I had asked for the day off in case our vacation went long). Wednesday, I was refreshed for work again. The work hangover hit Thursday ...
  • Ben and I have enjoyed playing cribbage.
It's only July 23, but it feels like summer is winding down. Time to make the most of it!
