Feeling more normal+ Hiking pics in 2020 Vision

My energy is returning. Not sure if has anything to do with the amazing weather we had this weekend or that its now its been about since a month that the young buck left or something else…but it feels good to have energy again. I told the Dr at my Prozac appt that I didn’t hate it, but that I have been feeling super low on energy and even slept in til 3pm one Sunday, which is REALLY out of the ordinary for me. I also mentioned that I honestly wasn’t sure if its just the way of the current world that’s affecting me, if its a poor diet, if its the Prozac or something else entirely. The one good thing about the Prozac though is that I feel less likely to do something impulsive and stupid. Running away is no longer on the radar. So we agreed to give it a little bit more time. She wants me to switch the time of day I take it and then contact her in two weeks to see if that helps and if my body just needed a little more time to get used to it. Then we’ll decide if its something I should stay on or try something new.

So anyway! I got out for my first hike since the last hike with The Young Buck. I went to Lake Angeles and then went up to Hurricane Ridge at Olympic National Park on Saturday. It was a perfect day for it

Face coverings are required inside Olympic National Park, but I only pulled it up when I came across other hikers.

Then on Sunday I went paddleboarding for like only the 2nd time this entire summer. I’ve spent the majority of the last 2 summers out on my paddleboard. But this summer I just haven’t had any interest in it. My friend even commented on it. “Why don’t you like paddleboarding any more?” Do be fair, I’ve done a lot of skating this summer, which I didn’t do the past two summers. Yesterday felt really good though. Mount Rainier was out in all her beauty. Me and two friends paddleboarded out to a lighthouse I previously didn’t know existed until yesterday

Excuse me while I sound petty for a moment: Why would anyone leave this for Ohio?
