Warm Weather Hygge

By definition, hygge (hooga) according to the Denmark website is about "taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about - or even by yourself - to relax and enjoy life's quieter pleasures."   There's a fun little book I read on vacation back in 2018 called The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living and I loved it so much, I bought one as soon as I got back.  There was actually nothing more relaxing than reading that little book curled up on the couch in the sunroom with a cup of tea and is one of my favorite memories of that trip. Many tend to associate this practice in the cooler months of Fall and Winter because it tends to focus on the act of being cozy.  Snuggling under a blanket, enjoying a warm, healing cup of tea by the fireplace (or fireplace on TV ), lighting a favorite candle while doing a calming hobby like cross stitch or scrapbooking.  Being a hyggephant, I can tell you that I never associated warm wea...

Yawn

I've stared at this page hoping something interesting would pop up.  Fact is, yesterday was just boring.

The Mr and I could barely walk yesterday from the previous days strength session.  We had to take a rest day because even walking was not in the cards.  Dinner was chicken tacos.




We rented Wild with Reese Witherspoon.  I don't know why but I just didn't connect with it. I expected to be a quivering heap of tears by the end and while I shed a few tears, I didn't care for it.  I understand why Reese got the praise for the role.

Then it was time to tune in for the series finale of Cougar Town.  I loved that show the first few years.  I'm too loyal and even though the past few seasons have kind of stunk, I had to see it through.  It kind of bummed me out and then the twist happened and I was a blubbering pool of tears.

On a better note, tomorrow's Friday!

Was your night as boring as ours?

    I actually enjoyed the movie but I can understand why someone would disconnect from it. It had a very non-linear way of telling the back story and that could have been done a little better. Definitely inspiring to see one reason why someone would be brave or crazy enough to walk alone on a dangerous trail like that.

    Yes, Yes it was. Boring all around. I did make it to Zumba though, and that wasn't boring - but once I was home and showered the boredom commenced. The kids are off tomorrow so even though I'll be at work, I won't have students so I'll get a lot done.

    I actually had a great day yesterday. I'm back on the wagon and WILL lose this 30-lb regain. I even tracked my food yesterday for the first time in years.

    I am in a weird place right now. I am going on vacation on Sunday so I am in that uber high faze of getting ready to go and the anticipation of seeing my Mom in less than a week. She lives in OK, I live in WI so only once a year does this happen. And, heading to where it is about 20 degrees warmer wont hurt either. So if it was a boring day, I wouldn't have been able to recognize it LOL
    Now, driving down for 13+ hours on Sunday, that is going to be boring

      On long road trips like that there comes a point where you just feel like you will never stop driving. You forget you even have a destination at that point! LOL Have fun!

    I did not have a good night with too much stress and sadness. But that is rather normal around here, so it's not unusual. Being off the pill probably has my hormones more on edge. I'm making chicken tacos, too! I do them in the crock pot with boneless skinless chicken thighs and it's one of my favorite go-to meals. The gravy it makes it SO good and I'll put that over rice sometimes and it's just divine. Yum!
