There was a clothing store (men’s weird suits) and a photo lab back in college that we all swore were clearly fronts for something.
I took today off work and am flying to DC to see friends and then the USWNT play Spain. But I still woke up at the usual time because my friend is coming to get my dog at some point soon and I needed to be awake.
Atropa I also get about a migraine a week sometimes (seasonal or something, no clue) but thankfully my meds work promptly and I usually feel mostly fine within a couple hours.
I ended up getting the Hep B second dose and pneumonia vax but not the RSV because my insurance doesn't cover it. Arm isn't even sore.
The big news from my corner of the world is: Mom was cleared by her PT to go up and down stairs on her own! Now all she needs me for is things like opening pill bottles and tossing salads, she just can't grip anything with her right hand the way the splint is between her thumb and fingers. Post-op follow-up on Monday.
High today is only supposed to be 76F so that'll be nice
I'm apparently now the kind of person who goes to the gym three times a week. If only this personality transplant had happened in my 20s I might have a teeny bit of core strength by now. (I feel really good about the progress I'm making everywhere else but I literally cannot do one single sit-up.)
It is good to hear that your mom is recovering so well, -t.
Go Jess! I've been a slug after going to the gym regularly for months. Need to get back to it.
Go t's Mom!
My exciting news is my office had Humbodt Fog at our weekly happy hour. It was scrumptious. And I got to be super slick for knowing the name.

Not a lot of things make me wish I worked in an office, but a happy hour with excellent cheese is definitely one of them. Jealous!

That was me when I started Pilates. "Someday I'll be able to do a roll-up without the foot strap."
That day did come. The nice thing about exercise is that slow incremental change will accrue into new competence.
Ugh I dunno—I’ve been lifting weights for nearly two years now and I’m not sure I can lift any more than when I started. I mean, I also have lost 15-20 pounds during that time. But still. Beast mode it ain’t.
Mmmmmm, fog. One of my all-time fave cheeses.
