Day 16: Active Recovery

Despite being a rest day, I was still pretty active today. The warmer temperatures and extra energy gave me the motivation to reorganize my craft room and closets. I couldn’t help but keep moving throughout today, and even whipped out the power tools. I reinforced some utility shelves and measured and cut wood for shelving in my craft room closet. It helped that I could use the front porch (it feels so good to be outside without a coat!).

On warmer days, I can walk to school for after-school pickup. The half-mile hike benefits everyone! My son has been having trouble sleeping, and I suspect it's due to a lack of physical activity (indoor recess, car-to-door transitions, no outside play…). Today we walked home together and had a delightful conversation until it devolved into stomping in puddles and imitating the squishing noises.

I’m looking forward to warmer mornings when my family will walk to my son’s school, and my husband and I continue walking to the studio on his way to work.
