April 2023 in list form:
- It rained most of the month
- We got teased with summer-like weather for two whole days (which was admittedly nice)
- I think I overdid a couple of runs and my knees got stiff, making me pull back on my running to let them recover, which made me sad
- Too much snacking, too much weight gain
- My Garmin Forerunner sent me a notification telling me my heart rate was too high because I was apparently very quietly freaking out at my computer desk (it hasn’t happened since)
- I’ve been hit by either the worst spring allergies EVER or have a head cold to end the month
- No chocolate bunnies at Easter
But it wasn’t all bad:
- I got some nice bird shots
- I did a few desperate last-minute daily photo shots that turned out funkier than expected
- I re-read some of my old fiction and liked it!
- I started reading books in bed again, which had two effects: I’m reading books again, and no blue light (iPad) before bed has resulted in better sleep
- I’ve made some nice bird art
- Noise issues have become tolerable
- I have learned to accept some things that can’t be changed
- We are this much closer to summer and I already have sunblock!
I am ready for May.
