Last night at the beach. It’s been the mental reset we all very much needed. I didn’t realize how much I needed it until we got here.

I know we are super lucky to be able to check out for a week. It’s also made me realize I need to figure out better ways to reset at home. Little day trips or something. A change of scenery always does me good.

I’ve been able to make my brain shut off enough to read, and I’ve has some honest to god creative thoughts.

I also used my actual camera this year, so this weekend will be downloading the shots from it. (I’ve only opened my laptop once this week.)

Tonight is another dinner on the deck, then getting as much crap in the car as possible so tomorrow I can be at the coffee shop when they open and roll out to retrieve the LilyMonster. I so wish we could bring her here. Maybe someday.

In the meantime, some turtles.
