I've been sick with a bug in my stomach the past few weeks, so I haven't been able to post much. I'm feeling better, I think. I'm not really sure since it comes and goes without any rhyme or reason. Tomorrow I may be attached to couch again. I've actually made it out of the house this week as opposed to last week when I took the dog out once and went to Crissy Fields for a couple hours and that was it for outside time.
We had to cancel our vacation to San Diego because of me not feeling up to par. We are enjoying a stay-cation instead, but since we aren't actually gone, it's harder to not work. It's way too easy to jump on the phone, check email, write email, etc when we are supposed to just be chilling. Damn iPhones! I love them and hate them at the same time. I don't want Dexter remembering his parents always looking at a screen.
We went to Muir Woods on Labor Day which was an all day affair. Dexter is such a dawdler. I think if we went by his pace, we'd STILL be there. When he's out somewhere, he either won't move, or else he won't stay in one place. It's always the opposite of what we want him to do. We went the shortest path which I'm pretty sure might be a mile and it took 2 HOURS! He ran the last half of it, so the first half was right down painful. He loved getting in the dirt. He found a stick that became a lightsaber (of course). He saw deer and had a chipmunk follow him because smart animals know that toddlers equal crumbs. He climbed inside and outside giant trees. We had fun even though he took forever.
That's all the writing I can muster for today. I hope to feel better soon!
