68% through Isola by Allegra Goodman damn the book is so heartbreaking Has to be some light or redemption by the end of this novel And based on true story I am strong I can get through it

Spoilers:
But currently only 2 survived a long cold winter marooned on an Island off of Novia Scotia. #Booksky

6 miles down the river and back #running #runsky River course is so deceiving. Why hills!?! Rivers should be flat😁Lots of wildlife but no pics. I let them be them and they allowed me to be me! Deer, pleated woodpecker, squirrel, Canadian Goose, turtle. Favorite train trestle/gorgeous river crossing

In South Carolina, a Once Thriving Textile Hub Is Baffled by Trump’s Tariffs The Upstate region of South Carolina was saved by foreign companies after the fall of its textile industry. Now, tariffs pose another round of uncertainty.

And the same administration is killing domestic manufacturing ex. $14.8 billion invested by BMW into upstate SC but Trump et al upset US making engines to be used in other countries πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/u...

So Patel served a term more than a Scaramucci (10 days) but perhaps less than a month!?! I have to get these new units of time in check 🀣

I like trying to get the spanagram or theme word on Strands first! Takes me a good quick minute sometimes to locate and highlight it first!

Easy (short) long run. Running shorts and tank on. First run since Monday because of little cold. Just felt great to be out! My little circuitous route made the run look like more of an accomplishment than down the river and back 😁

I wrote a small $25k EPA EJ grant when I was working for a non-profit for small community w/o running water & sewer. With the The $ allowed members were reimbursed for their time. We had a field trip to EJ conference in Athens GA and day trip to a successful EJ rehabbed community in our state.

Yep, they're eating the cats? They're eating the dogs? No. Maybe. We never knew, but at least now we don't need to know.

No due process.

Insane.

7 miles was all I had in my tank today. Usually do long run on Sunday mornings but it's supposed to be thundering and raining tomorrow. After 2 yoga classes, teaching a barre class, ate lunch, and decided to do the long run today before the storm came in. All good. Putting in the miles! #running

Taught my first full #barre class last night! Great diversity in strength and flexibility. Provided modifications for every pose. Great music great energy!

Fun to broaden my wheelhouse and open up or dust off neural pathways! Learning routines, leading group fitness, helping others enjoy #fitness!
