Hi friends, it’s time to reflect on the week and share some of the things that made it good. Welcome back to Friday Favourites!

On Tuesday (Monday was a public holiday), I went back to work after being off for 4 weeks. I can’t say that going back to work is a favourite because it’s so nice to have time off. But I felt pretty ok about it and wasn’t dreading it or anything like that.
It was actually nice to be up early for my walk to work. This night owl has been enjoying very late nights and majorly lazy mornings!
As I shared on Wednesday, the weather has been great, and even though we are knocking on winter’s door, it’s actually been very warm during the day.
Tuesday morning looked like this. So pretty with the sun shining through the trees, right?
And this is this afternoon.

This week, I went to the physio and actually dealt with something I’d been putting off. Go me! I’ll share more about this in another post, but it’s all about me and my bad habit of clenching my jaw (ugh). I’m forever avoiding dealing with health things, so this feels like a win.

Mid-week churro treat was a highlight.

This little dog scares the life out of me on my walks to and from work when she barks at me. She’s small, but she’s ferocious.
I usually spot her in the distance when her owner is taking her out for a walk, so I’m prepared for her very clear intentions of wanting to attack me as I walk past. The owner has to hold her back!
But when she’s sometimes in her front yard, she catches me off guard, and it’s kind of embarrassing how high I jump.
Not this week. This week I was ready, and I didn’t jump when she came at me. Haha.

Some of my preschool friends missed me while I was away. I’ve been getting drawings and paintings as gifts over the last couple of days, along with sweet words like “Miss Ruth, I missed you.”
It kind of turns into a domino effect. A couple of friends say it, and then the others join in and want to give me something too.
One of my preschool friends asked our very funny classroom teacher to write me a message on one of the paintings. Can you guess which part was the friend’s and which part was added by her?
That’s a wrap on this week’s Friday Favourites. Hope you all had a good one too.
That looks like such a lovely walk! I tend to clench my teeth in my teeth whenever I’m stressed and wake up with a headache and lots of jaw tension. I’m trying to remember to do more relaxation exercises before bed. Your churro treat looks so yummy!
Thinking of you as you adjust back to work life. So sweet that they missed you – of course they did! I bet it felt good to get out early! It really does wake you up.
Maybe the dog wants to be your friend! lol. Love the painting from your preschool pal!
Eek to going to work after such a long break, I am glad it was OK for you. It does look like you have been having some lovely weather.
Well done for going to the physio and yum to those churros. I always find little dogs scarier than bigger ones, it’s like they have a point to prove.
Aww! That little message on the painting is so sweet.
