Well I really do have a “Lazy Bum” so to speak – with a foot-long incision on my left bum to fix my hip I’m not in any rush to be active. But Sunday was a cloudy, cool day in San Francisco, nothing like the rest of the country’s heatwave weather, so Dave and I decided to play a foul weather board game: Monopoly!

Dave and I actually played a really intense game, where it was unclear who was going to win for most of the game. At one point it got so crazy the dice went flying!

Don’t you worry, we made sure to calm ourselves after the “die in the water” incident haha.

It was fun to turn off the TV for a bit and play a game for a change – even if I did end up losing.

I wasn’t a complete bum all day long – I did do my strength exercises and practiced going up and down the stairs to my apartment building, which was exhausting, even for Dave.

It was a full Sunday and now I am ready to take on the week of working from home resting and getting better! And stay tuned for tomorrow’s doctor’s appointment to get an update about my injury and how far I have progressed!

Instead of waking up around 6 am and making breakfast and lunch and hopping on a bus downtown to the office, I woke up without an alarm and sat down on my couch to answer emails. After an hour of checking in with work I took a nice long run by the bay (7.25 miles) and then packed up some gear to head to Tahoe!

Our first detour was across the bay in Tiburon to do a little more work while we waited for Dave’s parents to finish up their day and pack the car. The view from their apartment is incredible! You can see the street we live on in the ciy from here!

After only a few minutes the car was packed thanks to Dave’s amazing packing skills.

We made it to Squaw just as the sun was setting and we settled in with some dinner. While this was not the most delicious meal overall, it looked fantastic!
