Week in Review (November 4 - November 10)

Tuesday (11,106 steps) - Peloton and Olive walk before going to work in the office. I had my meeting with our new supervisor and thought it went pretty well. Went to the gym at lunch and did various strength training and walking on the treadmill. 
After lunch we all got an email from our new supervisor with the SOPs, and… there are a few things I’m not really thrilled with and am seeking clarification on. Took Olive for a walk. Dinner and FBI: Most Wanted.
Wednesday (14,411 steps) - Olive walk before going to work in the office. Went for my easy run (it was shorter than I had thought it would be) and actually did a yoga restorative video after before I went back to work. 
Got out of work a few minutes late and it actually did make a difference for the amount of traffic I hit. Goosie’s newest outfit came - doesn’t she look festive/adorable? 
Took Olive for a walk, dinner and more FBI: Most Wanted. I did actually fall asleep on the couch, which has happened more than once recently, even though I am getting plenty of sleep.
Thursday (12,168 steps) - Actually woke up feeling pretty refreshed, well before my alarm. Ready some of my book and drank my coffee before doing a Peloton ride and used the rower for the first time in ages. It needed a software update and I had to leave my phone down there while it was doing the update. That was only annoying because I had transitioned from Chrome to Edge and some of my passwords weren’t moving over and I had to use a QR code that was on the phone and then had to check my email for another code… let’s just say it was irritating and took close to 45 minutes for things to work properly. 
MOM - I AM BORED
MOM - I LOOK ADORABLE CAN WE DO SOMETHING?
Took Olive for a longer walk to the lake even though it was incredibly windy. 


Finally got more serious about getting all my stuff packed for Florida - I still think it is insane the drop bag size that we are limited to. 
I had hoped to do some driving after work, but I did not get any offers. Met up with Ben for our usual dinner at Torchy’s. 
Friday (10,341 steps) - Took Olive for a walk before going to work in the office. It was a pretty busy day. Went for a longer walk at lunch. 

Dropped Olive off at home before meeting Ben at 4 Noses for a happy hour. It was insanely crowded and we had to share a table with two women. They were very nice though, so it wasn't terrible. We ate a few sushi handrolls, which ended up just being what we had for dinner.

Ben rented "The Astronaut," but I fell asleep before it was over. Oops.
Saturday (19,511 steps) - Slept in a bit. Took Olive for a walk. Ben and I headed over to New Terrain so I could do my run on the Freemont Trail. The run itself was fine. 
Went back home for a snack and quick shower before I went out to do some driving since UE was offering incentives again. Well, my car had other plans. I drove to where I usually sit to wait for orders and when I tried to start my car the engine would not turn over.
After multiple attempts with nothing working I sent Ben a text to see if he was still home to come help me. He gave my battery a charge and the car started right up. We drove down the street to O'Reilly for them to do a battery check up. Unfortunately, I was not even able to get the car started again to drive up by the store. Ben had to give the battery another jump. I called Schomp and discovered they were still open, so unexpected trip down to Highlands Ranch. Ironically, I already had a service appointment scheduled for when I got back, but I guess they will just get everything done while I am in Florida. Always something.
We stopped at Parry's on the way home and had a burger and a beer.
Took Olive for a quick walk and then we watched the newest Frankenstein movie, which was pretty good!
Sunday (12,864 steps) - Tried to sleep in a bit and actually made it past 7:30. Did more packing while Ben ran to Dutch Bros to get us coffee. Our fitness activity of the day was taking Olive to the dog park. 
After, we went to Rails End. The women we had been talking to on Friday told us that dogs were allowed inside, so we figured we would see if that was true - it is!! 

Headed home and I briefly had to log in to work to email everyone and let them know I would need to take half the day off on Monday for travel... I ended up reading and taking Olive for another walk while Ben went out to wash his truck and pick up pizza for dinner. We watched “The Woman in Cabin 10” and it was much better than I think either of us expected.
Monday (11,398 steps) - Work from home. 
Finished last minute packing, showered, took Olive for a walk. Logged out at 10:30 and the Uber picked me up shortly after to go to Union Station where I took the train. Ben randomly met me at the stop by his work to give me an orange safety vest - last minute mandatory gear requirement. Arrived at the airport with just over two hours to spare and there was thankfully zero lines for security. Walked around a bit to get my steps and then sat outside and read my book until it was time to board. I was lucky enough to sit in an emergency row so I had a ton of space. 
I watched “The Perfect Neighbor” and an episode of Gilmore Girls. After getting off the plane, I went to pick up my rental, only to find out that they had cancelled my reservation since for some reason I had scheduled to pick up at 11 am (?) Luckily they were able to recreate it. I got a Jeep Compass, and thankfully the CarPlay worked. I had a drive of about an hour south to St. Augustine. When I got close to the hotel I stopped at Publix to grab some groceries and then got dinner at Whataburger. 
Watched SVU while relaxing before going to bed late (although it was about when I would normally go to bed at home).

Week in Review (September 2 - September 8)

Tuesday (10,702 steps) - Walked Olive before going to work in the morning. Gym at lunch - Peloton ride and a half hour on the treadmill at 12%. Took Olive for a walk when I got home. Dinner and Bosch!
Wednesday (17,040 steps) - Walked Olive before going to work in the office. Went for a run at lunch and it was a lot warmer outside than I expected, so it wasn't great. 
Took Olive for a walk when I got home. Ben’s birthday!! We drove down to Malone’s for dinner to meet up with Ariel - a good time!
Bosch!
Thursday (10,389 steps) - Work from home. Spent the morning doing laundry and cleaning. Debated going for a run and decided to just take Olive for a long walk instead. 

Did a delivery after work and met Ben at Torchy's for dinner. Skipped an evening walk because it the air quality is garbage with all the smoke. Bosch!
Friday (10,560 steps) - Had to skip a morning walk since I had my appointments at National Jewish. First up I had the echocardiogram, followed by a pulmonary function test (I should actually say testS since there were quite a few things that had to be done. Hoping to get some answers and treatment plan in place before next summer's adventures. 
Headed into the office. Worked until about 1:30 when I headed home so that I could take Olive on a longer walk. Finished out work at home. Met Ben at Parry's for a beer and dinner. 
Ben and I took Olive for a walk before more Bosch!
Saturday (11,464 steps) - Actually managed to sleep in. Decided we would do a small section of Dirty Biz for a run, only to discover that part of the trail we wanted to use is closed for two months for cow grazing. That's new. 


Went with Ben to pick up some parts for his truck and then checked out a new brewery that was nearby. Not the best beer (but not the worst) and they do allow dogs inside, we will have to remember that! 
Stopped at Salsa's on the way home for lunch. 
Ben has determined the food is too salty for us to ever go back. Sad. Took Olive for a walk. Worked on packing, ordered in Panda Express for dinner and Bosch!
Sunday (10,449 steps) - Slept in again! Ben picked up Dutch Bros. We decided to go to Golden for our hike/Olive activity. We walked along the creek path and then hiked up Chimney Gulch to Lookout and then jogged down. 
We ran into Tanessa - random! Walked back on the creek path to the truck and headed to New Terrain since the Blaster beer is on tap. Picked up more beer on the way home and then had another Bosch marathon.
Monday (11,932 steps) - Slept kinda terrible and got up much earlier than I needed to. Ben was going in to work late since he needed to drop off his truck, so he went with me on an Olive walk before I logged in for work. Took Olive for a long walk at lunch to the lake and did a short Peloton ride to keep my streak. Spent the afternoon packing and working. After work I went to Target to pick up my new inhaler - hopefully this will help with some of the breathing issues I’ve been having. Did a delivery on my way home. Ben and I went to Golden to see if we could do a temporary fix of A’s car - we were able to disable the horn for now, who knows what work we will have to get done to stop the random honking. Parry’s for dinner and an episode of Bosch.
