First pic sheβs definitely saying βCount your fucking days, mom. Better sleep with one eye open tonight.β
Oof, that was ugly but itβs a start - told my therapist my goal was to get one 30min ride in before our next appointment. The judgmental side eye from my new workout buddy didnβt help though π
If anyone needs me Iβll be worshipping the cold floor for awhile.
Me wondering why I felt like a sloth on Ambien all day yesterday and just now realized:
I took hydroxyzine instead of Wellbutrin.
Am I officially an old now that I realize I gotta label my pill bottles with different color stickers or something?
Caillou is the real CIA plant here.

New puppy followed by said puppy having a solid 5 months of health issues last year meant I went from riding 100+ miles/week to zero all year.

Wild Wednesday night at 34: in bed by 9 with a few electrodes slapped on the back of my neck, frovatriptan and Tylenol down the hatch, and ice beanie on my head.

Asshole bee.
I love bees.
The one that was bugging Stella, freaked her out, then flew under the brim of my baseball hat and stung me on my eyebrow can go die though.

Completely lucked out. Saw the listing 30 mins after it got posted and were the first people to jump on it.
Yep. Old place was jacking up our rent over 12% and weβve had so many issues with the staff in the year weβve been there. Complete asshats.
Found this house and itβs almost $1k/mo less than what we wouldβve paid had we stayed. And we have twice the square footage, itβs in a very quiet area
Itβs not even been 12 hours since getting over here and itβs made a world of difference already! π§ββοΈ

Moved house. Sheβs so excited and has so much room for happy zoomies π₯° This park is her absolute favorite place to go on adventures so we really lucked out.
Love having Black Hill Regional Park as our new back yard. Trail entrance is about 1/4 mile from the house and we have a lake view π₯°

Packing to move this week and always love rediscovering things.
I wish I could go back to being 21 again when my biggest concerns were:
1) Get grades good enough to get into grad school
2) Beat Purdue (and UK) π

Touching grass is not enough I need to walk down a misty forest trail and right into a spider-web at face height
