Once I kicked👟 my dissertation📖 work into high gear transitioning from July into August, I’ve actually resisted turning away from my work💼 after several-hours⌚️ worth of “shifts” lately!
🎓Scholar Mode = In-the-Zone🌟
But to prevent myself from 🍳frying⚡️ my 💡brain💭 from dozens of hours⏰ in front of my 💻computer ~ executing💥 my challenges while exercising my 💪🏽strengths:
I had to ❤️break💔 away for a bit …
Especially since last night offered my 🌼summer🌻 📺shows !
Complete combo with this 🚢Captain’s⚓️ 🍹cocktail🍸
Beachy Scene : I call this bad boy my Myrtle Beach Iced Tea (as opposed to Long Island ) that calls for Arnold Palmer (tea & lemonade named for the golfer) spiked w/your spirit(s) of choice ~ mine was Midori for melon flavor and green color ~ + a cherry on top … Or to sink this ship! 🌊🌴🍹🍋🍈🍒⚓️🚢
That can be served ❄️chilled🍧 and 🍉chunky🍌
Peachy Keen : Other fruit to add to the mix (sweet if they swim in the drink while you sip): peaches * pineapple * strawberries 🍑🍍🍓🍒🍹
🍺Cheers🍻 to this 😅chillaxation😜 session! Staycation –> 😲Vacay😵 😴Getaway💤

To the tune of Mariah Carey:
♫You just got to…
…Swim it off♪
🏊Now that summer’s here, go where it’s wet and clear!
Surf’s up!
🏄Whether you’re wading in the pool or boogie-boarding on the beach, stroking along the crashing waves provides low-impact yet high endurance exercise.
Plus, if you take it outdoors , you’ll get your Vitamin D fix from the ☼sunshine☼!
Of if you have an indoor pool , like the one I had at my hotel on work assignment a couple of weeks ago, you still can swim laps or do water aerobics and pool pilates comfortably!
And isn’t it delightful to hit the water with companions and workout buddies?
Fine, fair-weather furry friends and fun water-lovers alike can bring great company, including bringing up your heart-rate with swimming races, like I did with my Pinoy boy last weekend!
Wayback Wednesday : Grad School friends and I have a day at the lake !
Splash blast!
