I call that Tempertrivia. It was a very warm day in Tulsa. A little breezy, but after all, it is Oklahoma where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain. We sure have some clean plains here in Oklahoma. The first thing I did this morning was to go to HairFX and get a haircut. Thanks, Betsy.
Next, Melissa and I got ready and walked three glorious miles in the neighborhood. And while we weren’t driving, we were still affected by the ever-present Tulsa road construction. 61st and Sheridan is a mess. Seriously, when will it end? There has been road construction within a mile of our house for the past four years. I’m really tired of it.
We navigated our way around the construction, easier than most Tulsa drivers I must say, and completed our non-record breaking 5K before 11 AM. I then had to come home and fix weekend breakfast, which consists of eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee.
If you thought we were done walking for the day, you’d be wrong. We went to Sam’s to gather items for our picnic. Sam’s is not as entertaining as Wal-Mart but pretty close at times. Hey, we have to take advantage of the good weather while it’s here you know. We bought some wine (Lindeman’s Bin 55 Shiraz/Cabernet), gathered our other items, and went to the park for our picnic and to read. Melissa read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, while I read through the latest copy of Writer’s Digest. I think we fell asleep for a few minutes.
There were lots of people at the park today. Families, couples, kids, squirrels, birds, and insects were all a-buzz with joy. I fed grapes to a woodpecker, which is my favorite bird just after the Cuckoo.
A good day. A good walk. Melissa and both stretched adequately and report no pain. The thing that we did not do is to hydrate appropriately. I found myself panting by the time we got back home and really needing something to drink. I didn’t realize how warm it was going to be on that walk. Stay hydrated even if you have to carry a water bottle with you.
