Watching practical magic with my candles lit and snacks with wine after my hot yoga classes. Love this day. LOVE this day.

Junk miles on the treadmill, hot yoga x 2, and gf pancakes with my friend tonight. (She made them!) My lap pool is closed for a few weeks, so tomorrow, can’t wait to wake up and do the same. ♥️😆

Grateful for my colleagues who go out of their way to make sure there’s a gf option at every work breakfast. They’re the kind of heroes we actually need!

What an incredible couple of days in the mountains, where we enjoyed swimming holes and eating wild herbs on the trails. 💚 Grateful to my friend for sharing her home and her loving community with me.

I love Alba, and these hills- even though they shredded my quads.

I’m so grateful for my friend who supervises me on walks during these days so I don’t get stranded somewhere. I try to put my sunglasses on so people don’t recognize me (this does not work, btw) but it’s nice to have nice friends and to be able to take care of one another.

Rest day for the legs meant fighting tractor traffic, visiting Monforte d’Alba, Dogliani, Bra and Cherasco. Can’t wait to wake up and runs these hills before I head to Alba. Also, very thankful to the many of the Piedmontese who nicely tell me I’m driving the wrong way on a one way road. ♥️

I’m in heaven. Absolute heaven. The long run this morning was painfully beautiful, and the hills I climbed were killer. The wine was amazing. Can’t wait to wake up and do it all again. ♥️☺️🍷 Thankful for no cliffs nearby with the mild vertigo lingering, too. 😆😆😆 It’s the simple things.

Yes, okay totally totally worth it. Even with the few hours of rain. So exhausted from traveling though. (Will sleep when I’m dead. )

There’s something wonderful about having a layover at a place with a cafe where you can just sit at a table and order a cappuccino without talking to a soul. I usually hate scanning a QRS, but this is my one exception after any flight that lasts over 8 hrs.

Moving to Canada looks more and more appealing everyday, especially with them joining the EU. This was the move the US should have done, but was too proud.

Three days of vertigo in, but I’m ready for vacation!!!! Woooohooo!!!! Soon I’ll be in one of my ancestral homelands, and I may never return ♥️😆

Well, the lil YouTube videos for vertigo work until they don’t. Today wasn’t the worst flare I’ve ever had. Even walked around for quite a bit in the afternoon in the Sun which was heaven.

Jaq @jaqdup.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Today was such a lovely day in Malibu! Not feeling my best and hoping not to have a flare or get sick before my trip on the 16th, but what a beautiful day with friends. ♥️

The gluten free menu at Terroni’s, plus I tried this lil spot near St Andrew’s for breakfast, before the pool.

Things I loved about this day: Junk miles in the pool, junk miles on the treadmill, Sardinian wine with my gf rigatoni at Terroni with one of my girlfriends after thrifting at hoodwill. ♥️🍷🫶

Hit up the Glendale Costco first thing this morning, and my favorite Costco activity is to FaceTime one of my bestfriends and show her all of the shit she isn’t there to buy with me. Me, holding my iPhone so it shows only my face and the warehouse rafters: “Hey Lana, how’s your morning going?”

One of my male colleagues (also an RN) recently discussed his wife’s traumatic childbirth experience and how she hemorrhaged afterwards, saying that it really hammered into him how dangerous childbirth/pregnancy is. He is an educated, kind man, and it took his wife almost dying for it to hit home.

This night was so fun! Happy hour sushi at Ocean, with Laurel Supply for dessert with one of my friends. Then met up with one of my other best friends and wound up getting pedicures and heading to The Woods for comedy night.

When it rains in LA usually everyone collectives sighs in relief and says, "We needed this." When it's HOT AND HUMID and it RAINS IN LA, everyone says "Take that $h!t back to Florida." Hoping we get a little more rain out of this, so the trails will be greener for when I return from my vacation.

Brought this 🍷 out I’ve been hanging on to for quite a few years to grill with the girls tonight after working three days straight. ♥️♥️♥️ Love this night. Love this wine. Love this pup. Love this wine.

This place does a lot of good for a lot of people. Hope the cops get there before the guy breaks in. He’s literally out front jimmying the lock right now. 🫠😩 His dog is so so so cute though!

If you’re ever out and eating heavily spiced Moroccan food and wondering what kind of wine to pair with it, this Alamos Malbec was pretty damn good. Cut through the spice really well when it was too much for my friend, and with the exception of the mint-laced dishes, paired flawlessly.

Jaq @jaqdup.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
If anyone knows anyone from the #GuitarCenter on sunset in LA, pretty sure some guy out front is trying to break in right now. Oddly enough he’s with a cute little brown and white dog that looks pissed to be out and about at this hour, like mofo take me home. 🫠😆🙃

Things I love about this day so far: lighting my new Wilkins & May candle and drinking this glass of amarone della valpolicella on my balcony, chilaquiles for breakfast with my dad back in the LBC, junk miles on the treadmill and not working. 😆♥️

Farmers Market at Plummer after coffee at Louisa’s, finally drinking this bottle and being delighted by it after many years, having a nice night grilling, enjoying this bottle with my girlfriends and kisses from my nephew Brucey . . . Loved this day ♥️

Imprisoning kids for profit is very sick. "There are a lot of people in Central Louisiana that make a living off of the immigration world, the prison world," said executive director of the agency overseeing a new ICE facility for kids. www.wbrz.com/news/alexand...

Hot as hell today, but what a gift to celebrate this lil guy’s birthday with treats and pit stops at Cartel Coffee and and Hala on third street for good coffee and AC. ♥️♥️♥️ His mama and I agree, he really has mellowed with old age. 8 looks good on you, Buzzy Buzz.
