I GOT MY FIRST VACCINE SHOT. It felt so surreal. I had such a huge grin on my face as I drove into my parking spot to sit for 15 minutes to make sure I was ok. I couldn't stop smiling. This shot means freedom to me and it means a light at the end…

7-23-20 Fam time
Family blog time! Yesterday I had dinner with my family (some really tasty sesame tofu). Last time I had been over there, a couple of weeks ago, Kaitlin had been working on Ollie's new big boy bed. She and Kevin had purchased this log cabin-style bed from someone nearby and Kaitlin was repainting it and…
7-19-20 Comics, plants, friends
Yesterday, the Squirrel Girl comics I ordered got delivered. Three days earlier than I was expecting! What a happy surprise. I only have two more volumes to purchase and then I'll have the full series. It still amazes me that I own comics, multiple volumes of comics. This is not how I saw my life…

Last night ended up being quite joyful. I danced to my music while waiting for Elisabeth to pick me up to go to Felfel (she isn't a fan of the heat so she didn't want to walk over). And I made this gif of myself that I quite like. I think I'm really warming up…
7-17-20 Bats
The bats are still here! Last night I saw them again. Whatever the roof people were doing yesterday it wasn't killing or trapping them, thankfully. This time around I grabbed my phone and attempted to record their evening flight. At first I was very nervous to get up close, and I jumped back after the…
7-16-20 Mixed Taste & bats
I am happy to report that the Mixed Taste event last night led to laughter and even a couple of gasps from this person right here. Did you know way back when (like, 50 million years ago), our planet had forests from one pole to the other? There were palm trees in Alaska. And there…

Sunday I didn't have any plans, and it actually turned out okay, I really enjoyed my day and wasn't anxious at all. I dropped off my compost at Dirt Coffee, took care of my plants (I discovered I killed my last air plant, the one I had brought with me from the house, so that…
7-12-20 – Doctor, hair, friends
On Friday, I got out of work an hour early so I could go to the blood doctor. This was the first time that I felt 100% confident that my platelets were normal. I had no worries whatsoever and that felt great. And lo and behold, my platelets are normal! /celebratory dance. I have to…
6-29-20 Party & balcony
Brittany's birthday party = complete. With Elisabeth's help, I created quite a lovely charcuterie picnic spread yesterday evening, complete with a build your own peanut butter pickle sandwich station. Did anyone else know that was a thing? It's one of Brittany's favorite (and weirdest) combinations, so I had to offer it at the party. Turns…

Today has been a task oriented day. I have gotten some reading in though so it wasn't all go go go. Tomorrow I'm throwing Brittany a picnic birthday party so I had to get stuff for that. I decided I'm going to do a charcuterie spread for her bday dinner since fried cauliflower wings and…
