the dogs have learned that I will take them on their morning walk before the sun rises so they start pestering me a little after 5am. then they let me sleep for maybe another hour if I’m lucky. anyway, good night!

this evening I decided to make up for eating unhealthily lately & ended up with couscous, cannellini beans, kale, & sweet potatoes. I also quick-pickled a red onion & toasted pine nuts & pumpkin seeds & threw some golden raisins in there. now I fear my entire gastrointestinal system might revolt.

I took 7 yoga classes in 10 days (deal was $25 for “unlimited” classes for 2 weeks) & the class I took this morning was supposed to be beginner yoga but it was way too fast & flow-y. &/or I’m in my luteal phase & less tolerant of that sort of bs. just gonna sit here w/ my cheese & weep occasionally

a ceramic goose looking up at you from the inside of a pie, which is exactly as absurd as it sounds

local yoga place is offering decent intro deal so I dragged my increasingly inflexible body to a beginner class that was really quite nice! a gentle, even soothing, reminder of my physical limitations! thankfully none of the power or body sculpt vibes that made the last class I took so miserable.
