It's the first summer Saturday for Elliott and also the first day he is attending the 9am adult black belt class!  No one else’s mom (or spouse or friend or kid…) is here so I’ll be dropping him off from now on. Tbh I planned on dropping him off and going to pilates most of the time but today I really had to work on a project and the studio has very strong wifi and I wouldn’t miss the time spent driving to a coffeeshop.

 I left work on Friday and thought we definitely need to do something fun this weekend! So I looked around, polled Elliott, and we picked ziplining on Memorial Day.  The place usually does groups of maybe 10? We ended up with a private tour, which I think had pros and cons. Pro, private tour. Con, the pace was a little breakneck, because we never had to wait for other people to go. So it was like, hike to the platform! Clip in! Jump off the platform! Clip out! Go go go!  All in all fun times! Then we had sushi bento in Bastrop. 

Since we lost the dog around Xmas, I've needed to reset my walking schedule. And tbh, it's gotten a little easier with only one mammal to plan around. So most days I get out before 7am for a 30min loop. Another change of middle age is that I have often chafed against routine but this spring I said to myself, let's just try it where there are no thoughts or decisions or wondering. Just put clothes on, put shoes on, and walk the same loop.  It's not so bad. 

It was very tasty! No worms in this one. 

We watched The Wild Robot and ate BBQ take out. The movie was lovely. We set out to watch Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die  so the vibe switch was a swerve, but altogether successful. 

Pretty sure these doves are the bosses of the neighborhood
