Vacation - Staycation






I've been on vacation since Christmas and it's been nice to stay home, visit local museums, and see old friends.  I've been sleeping and napping non-stop!  I must have been tired. 

Here's my list of what I wanted to do while on break (and I'm happy to say I've done most of them):
-Make oatcakes via the recipe from 3191 Quarterly and eat with apples and cheddar . . . also really good with blackberry jam.
-Buy ingredients at the Indian grocery store to make kitchari (bought the ingredients but haven't made the kitchari yet).
-Go on a long hike with Cody (this unfortunately was cut short due to spotting two coyotes).  Sigh, I don't think I can take him on hikes anymore due to the coyotes--they're everywhere in Southern California!  Cody and I did get to go on a nice long walk with my friend, Cynthia and her son Milo through their quiet neighborhood.  The last picture is from our walk.
-Visit the Autry Museum to see this exhibit.  So amazing!  I cried watching one of the artist videos . . . will have to write about that later.

Ah, I'm so grateful that I have a job that gives me this long of a break.

During the day


I've really been trying to walk and exercise more during the work day.  

I took a really nice 15 minute walk today in the South LA neighborhood, and found this flower and twig along the walk.  Such nice gifts are helpful motivation to get out and about during the week!

I like to walk

And I like this commercial from Kaiser.  It's affirming.

Rainy afternoon

This post kind of reminds me of my quiet morning post.  I took Cody out for a walk in the rain yesterday and noticed all the red and green around me.  Perhaps I am anticipating Christmas.   

It felt nice to walk in the rain.
