when mom was away..

oh.. it's monday morning again.. i sound like a whinny girl.. yes, i am slowly letting go of the past sweaty and sweet weekend. i was home babysitting this boy while his mom was away boothing with the company. i drove home early to be with him on friday afternoon while his dad was home late. i'd been busy with him on friday night and the whole saturday; during the day and in the evening.. his dad helped during the day too and took the night shift (sleeping soundly thru the night with him!).. it was a bliss. i love playing with him and seeing his impressive development. he has never ceased to amaze me. he is like a sponge absorbing anything we've taught him. kudos to his mom!!

while phun was sleeping in with his dad, i went out running. it was my 'me' time. recently, i've developed my relationship with running. and it's getting dramatically healthy. during the week, i set a goal to go out running to the market and back home (9k back and forth). it was what i was looking forward to before the weekend approached, bc during the week, i ran on the treadmill and kind of wanting to go out seeing different views.. sunday was the same, i still went out running on that hilly road and i even ran a bit farther to test how my legs feel, despite the sore and screaming legs from saturday run. they ached and strained while i was hobbling and snailing on the long road (but it was a good ache) and they were okay after i stopped. i even met some fellow runners on my sunday run. they were training for a race.. i made 11.2 k on saturday and 16 k the next day.. but on sunday.. i ran about 14 k and then walked and biked the rest.. i told you what.. i might look crazy running this much but the endorphine was worth it..

i didn't wander around the house snapping bc of phun and i was kind of lazy when the light outside was already strong.. but when his dad was in charge or when my dad stepped in to help, i curled up in the green deck chair and devored this book..

it's my guilty pleasure. i am nearly half way now. it's 700+ pages, not 500+ as i said before. still i didn't want to finish it too soon.. after finishing this third book, i plan to read the first one again.. i told you i was addicted.. and the movie, i've heard it was good, 'the swedish version'.. i really want to watch it before the US version comes out.. enjoy your workdays, people!
