America now runs on Argentinian beef, Russia Diesel, and measles.

Always thrilling to walk into a bookstore and see my sister-in-law’s book on the shelf! In other news TIL that the DaVinci Code is apparently a banned / censored book and has joined the ranks of Lolita, Fahrenheit 451, A Clockwork Orange, and The Color Purple 🤷🏻‍♀️

My husband can’t unsee the fact that there are only three teeth between the incisors and that induced more body horror than humour (which has the inverse for me)

We might have serious differences in perspective on life, but my dad immediately FaceTimed me tonight after I implied how shit today was (via a photo of a beer in a signature glass he had made for the farm) and you know what, that was really good Thanks dad

I need to figure out the last piece of my costume this year but I want the reds to match as much as possible & I’m shit at crocheting in a circle so I should just accept mediocrity & order something before it’s too late but I also want them to match ugh I hate anxiety masquerading as perfectionism

At a meet tonight. Lowkey some of the girls near me saw him round the corner and were like “oh there’s 11!” And then one nudged the other and was like “that’s his mom” lol and I was like “can I cheer with you?” 🤣

4 is so sick; I’m pretty sure he has the flu, given how quickly and how hard his fever hit. Poor buddy; he even smells sick. You can always tell a little one is truly sick by how much they snuggle and don’t move. This is especially true with my little perpetual motion machine 🥺

Well, technically I hit 165 today on my RDL but I could tell my form was suffering. Some might say that would be because I decided to jog two miles as a warmup but real lifters know it’s because I need to try harder

So satisfying to review 11’s schoolwork and papers from the last week and get them organized and break out the three ring hole punch and get prepped to help him study for his coming test this week and god you can take the nerd out of school but you can’t take the love of school out of the nerd

Gosh, I can tell a foreign extra stout just by the shade of the foam (& density, let’s be real). My photo doesn’t do the golden hue justice but it’s honestly just prettier than the extra’s. This probably makes me sound like an alcoholic, which I am far from being, but this is the internet so 🤷🏻‍♀️

1.5mi in 18 isn’t too terrible, I think! Unfortunately I noticed my IT band decided to speak up afterwards, so looks like I’ll be really honing in on my warm-ups and cool-downs for awhile. Hoping it has a minimal impact on my lift sesh tomorrow but we’ll have to see!

I think my grip is going to be the blocker in progressing my RDLs. I know it’ll get stronger just like the rest of me will, but my compounds are gonna suffer while I wait.

Took a chance to take a walk round the block just the two of us while 11 supervised 4. We were gone less than 15 minutes. 11 didn’t move from where he’d been doing his homework, so all looked well— only for him to say, “4 dropped his toy in the toilet” & 4 to say, “11 said to wash it w/4 soaps” 💀

Spent the midday at a public farmers market enjoying the absolutely beautiful day along the waterway and ended up capturing these two shots of the river. I don’t know which I like better but they’re both neat, so here we go!

Honestly, yesterday’s soap making ventures worked well for a first jaunt! The pink are the apple I mentioned below; the yellow (more golden out of the bright sun) are pumpkin. On deck later today will be cinnamon and warm cookie.

I’ve been looking forward to going for a run with 11 all week. Yesterday got too hot so we said today. I peel myself out of bed & am sat in my robe, almost finished with my first cuppa, when he comes down dressed with socks & looks at me, betrayed by my unready state. Fam I think I’m hosed

Despite 4 consuming peanut butter like it’s going out of style, I hadn’t had any in awhile until I put it on my toast this morning I am confronted anew by how delicious it is and just want to eat it by the spoonful Never been more grateful it makes my coffee taste like raisins: built-in deterrent!

It only took me wearing it for 10 hours but I realized this afternoon that the dress I’m wearing today is significantly looser on me than the last time I wore it in an office, and while I’ve moved (mostly) from attempting to make my body smaller to making it stronger, this was still a nice surprise!

I can’t tell if people are just better at protecting their mental health than I am, or if they just honestly work that slowly, but I want to figure this out because my mildly neuro-spicy brain doesn’t understand. I can’t honestly be /that/ much faster, right??

An elderly lady (in her nineties she told me) sat at the next table in a cafe. Her daughter called her, presumably to see if she needed any shopping. No, she said. "I have gin, chocolate, and a new book to read when I get home." Habits are important. Hold onto them.

That moment when you go to take a drink of coffee and realize yesterday’s cup is still there, and how grateful you are that there’s still a temperature difference to help determine your path forward Is it Friday yet

Toad put his head close to the ground and said loudly, “Now seeds, start growing!” Toad looked at the ground again. The seeds did not start to grow.

Toad talks to his seeds, trying to get them to grow.
