Do you ever sleep horribly for too many nights in a row and feel like you just can’t catch up? And then your coaches make you do really hard workouts? And then you are injecting hormones into your belly nightly because why would it be easy for you to get pregnant? And then, come Friday, it feels like you got hit by a bus? Welcome to my week! It’s been rough. Needless to say, I’m beyond happy it’s Friday because after getting out of work this morning, I have 3 glorious days off.

A crazy summer storm hit New England this week and, although it left quite a mess in our yard, it took away so much humidity which I (and my dogs) was very grateful for. I’m looking forward to doing nothing but reading, writing and relaxing today followed by an afternoon adventure to an oyster farm (details to follow) on Saturday and blueberry pancakes and coffee on Sunday morning.

I hope you have a lovely and relaxing weekend. Here are some interesting articles to start your Friday!
