Friday Free-For-All
I’m writing this on Thursday, but if you’re reading it Friday, I’m leaving this afternoon (TODAY!!!) for my race! I’ll be staying overnight in Titusville, FL- but that’s not where the race is. The race begins near a town called Christmas, Florida (I know! A town called Christmas!) but there are no hotels there. And, the closest city to easily track the weather has been Orlando. Confusing, isn’t it? Speaking of the weather… the weather app has sure taken me on a roller coaster ride these past two weeks! At first, the forecast for February 17th showed a low of 47 and a high of 66. YES. Then, every day it got warmer and warmer, until it finally showed a LOW of 60 and a high of 78 (NOOOOOOOO!!!). Now, we’ve gone back down and added a fun twist- low of 58, high of 66, and rain. I’LL TAKE IT. But how much rain? A sprinkle? Drizzle? Downpour? It will be an interesting surprise, I guess. Let’s move on. I got this amazing postcard from Engie: I love it so, so much. She wrote a truly inspirational message on the back, too. And as if that’s not enough, she ALSO sent me a Valentine! She knows I don’t love Valentine’s Day, and was trying to convince that it actually can be fun. Well, this definitely helped! But you know what I realized? If someone really, really wanted me to LOVE Valentine’s Day, they could get me an ACTUAL KITTEN on February 14th! Wouldn’t that be awesome? (Orange tabby, preferably.) This would be a perfect idea for my husband, but unfortunately he has the strange idea that two cats is “enough.” (What? I’m not comprehending that perculiar combination of words…? Enough? Cats? Hmm.) Anyway, Engie’s card was the perfect substitute for a real kitten. Since I’m still not entirely sure of the weather for Saturday, I’m bringing a little bit of everything. Luckily I’m driving and can throw as much as I want in the car! I’ll check in on Sunday with the Weekly Rundown- but it probably won’t be much more than “I did it!” (er- hopefully.) I’ll have a full race recap up next week! See you then. Have a great weekend! Header photo by Sincerely Media on Unsplash
