I'm having some hip and shoulder pain today, but I pushed through it and completed my workout.

My husband helped me plan dinners for the week on Sunday. It was a small thing, but it is making a huge difference for me. I usually purchase a bunch of staple items and then decide what's for dinner each day as I go along. This week I shopped from a list and I just pick one of the already planned out dinners to make each night. I make three meals a day most every day for our family and it felt so nice to have help deciding what to make. He even suggested a new dish from his childhood we plan to make together one night. I told him last night how much easier dinner felt and how much I appreciated him brainstorming with me. Hopefully we will keep this up week to week. He suggested it and said his grandparents did this together when he was a boy. I like breathing new life into old traditions.

It has been schorching hot for almost two weeks now. I think 88 is the lowest high temp we've had. I am ready for some rain and cooler temps. I feel like the heat sucks my energy out of me.
