oatmeal thursday (?)

I really couldn't come up with a better title, sorry. I am officially done with summer school and I don't know what to do with myself.

After my 8 mile run on Tuesday I decided that it'd be best for me to take a day off so all I did yesterday was walk. I didn't even walk that far. It just feels good to stretch your legs, in my opinion. This morning I ran again. I did 4.7ish, I don't remember the exact distance. I contemplated running a few circles to try and get to 5 but I figured it didn't really matter. I'm planning on doing some workout videos later and definitely some yoga.

For those of you wondering, Elena and I did double kayak and watch some sailing. She lives really close by water but I accidentally passed her pier on my way to pick her up so I kayaked a lot on Tuesday evening. It's harder than it looks! Especially the double kayak with one person. But hey, it's not something you get to do everyday and we had fun!

I think I'm finally tired of acai bowls... I've eaten a lot of them since I've been home and while I'll never turn down Rutabaga, I think I just need a little break. This morning I had oatmeal instead and honestly I was really excited about it. I put a little cinnamon and vanilla in before I microwaved it, game changer! I topped it with strawberries and a few semi-sweet chocolate chips and a handful of chia seeds. Claire, if you're reading this, I just wanted to let everyone know how yummy it was. Claire and I used to share our oatmeal recipes with one another and we hadn't done it in awhile so I texted her about it this morning. That's friendship people.

As for anyone who'd like an update on my Nespresso, it's awesome!! I didn't realize it'd come with a sampler pack but I'm super happy it did because the pods I ordered didn't come until the next day. I've been keeping track of the flavors I'm trying and if I like them or not. So far I've been happy with all of them. I also tried out the milk frother but I don't think almond milk is meant to be frothed because it doesn't hold up super well. It's okay, it still makes me feel fancy. I even ordered some flavored syrups that should be here soon, I thought they'd make me feel more official when I make my fancy coffees.

I'm probably going to sail this weekend, it's a little up in the air right now. I normally sail Snipes (the type of boat) with my friend Christian but earlier last week he left on a road trip with some of his high school friends to go to Colorado and their car broke down so now he won't be back in time to sail this weekend. It's actually a little funny to me. So I think Elena and I will sail but there's a lot of factors and moving pieces so we'll see. Either way, I'm sure I'll boat or something this weekend.

I'm making dinner again tonight! I like cooking and I'm planning on trying a new recipe. It's called Mediterranean Fried Rice, here's the link: https://www.womansday.com/food-recipes/food-drinks/recipes/a55779/mediterranean-fried-rice-recipe/. I'll let you guys know how it goes!
