A garden bed with some lettuce, parsley, anemones and a yellow narcissus. A wooden fence is in the background.

Narcissus bloomed in my garden yesterday!

I’m getting a fish burrito from a taco truck right now. Friday treat.

I haven’t cried every day for a couple months now but sometimes the grief just comes out of nowhere and here I am, crying while making my kids lunch for school.

After dating someone getting their phd focused on queer and trans psych I am…snickering right now

I have gained chin hairs with age. I pluck them when I’m procrastinating something. Annoying email? Hmm where are my tweezers I need to grab this.

Nausea is back, bitches

Everyone had a blizzard and I did an outdoor workout in shorts and sports bra yesterday. California remains it, sorry to say.

For the tariff rebates we should all get - he’s going to say that actually he personally paid those tariffs so it is he who will get all of the refunds, right?

Happy birthday Kurt Cobain you would have been 59

After davening we all sat around gossiping and drinking tea and the conversation eventually got around to the new colonoscopy pills you can take instead of the liquid and wow the excitement level in the room

I made a commitment to do a thing tonight but why didn’t past me see that future me was not going to want to have to be somewhere at 730pm on a Thursday in winter

I’m not even 30 days into a 90 day probationary period and already I could use a sick day god damn it.

Yooooo

Cautiously sipping bone broth in an attempt to move to eating actual food today

What kinds of foods do you eat when your stomach is upset? Besides BRAT diet or whatever. What’s the secret thing that makes you feel better 🥺

Oooooh really big thunder just scared my dog (we don’t typically get thunder and lightning here!)

A large pot of chicken soup with peas and a steamed dumpling topping

Here we go

A batch of brownies in a glass pan. Half of them are swirled with a Nutella knockoff we had in our fridge

Brownies

Okay we’re making chicken and dumplings bc it’s easy on the stomach and warm and exactly what I need. And then I’ll have leftovers all week.

Ok but would it be too bland if I couldn’t do spicy peppers? I’m in a tough spot with IBS rn and my kid won’t eat spicy either. Add…a bunch of cilantro and lime?

Enjoyed a break in the rain with Maggie, back to working on a cute puzzle at my kitchen table

lol leek.

Oh this sounds good. I’m making chicken broth and thinking about what to turn it into. We have chicken noodle soup a LOT. Potato leak? Corn chowder? A chicken lemon orzo thing? Can’t decide.

Really enjoying this storm on this day off

I have a date today but I also have IBS so that’s great

A large bowl of challah dough on a black countertop

It’s Friday and I really like doing this every week. This is my second batch today bc I donated the first one.

When will I ever learn not to go to Trader Joe’s when I’m already in a bad mood

Whoa!

If they had her do this on snl I would watch that show

Jewish mama perfection.
