The author returned from a mission trip to Guatemala on Thursday evening and spent the next two days recovering and catching up on business work. The trip included working with women in a remote village, teaching them to make chocolate chip cookies, and learning to make tamalitos de chipilin. The author also experienced an allergic reaction that was resolved with a combination of medications.
After returning home, the family left Sunday for Georgia for a baseball tournament. The author's son Silas broke his hand during the trip and could not play but coached first base. The family spent 5-6 hours driving each day between game locations and visited local coffee shops and a doughnut shop.
The author resumed running after a week of reduced mileage and did a strength training session with her husband. She also completed an InBody scan, gaining 4.5 pounds of muscle over the past 10 years.
Current reading includes "Rooted in Wonder," "Soul Care," and "My Friends." The author is watching "America's Sweethearts" and "All Creatures Great and Small" with her daughter, and "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test" with her husband. The family listened to the Annie soundtrack repeatedly during the car rides.
