Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I vote be kinder to yourself regardless!

I'm suddenly recalling that side effects of all the vaccines I've been getting may possibly be contributing to me feeling crappy. Maaaaybe I can be kinder to myself for a little bit.

Definitely!!

I am home again, whew. I would've liked to do a bunch of hiking and see cool stuff, but I basically seem to have sprained my ankle at the start of the race on Sunday and then run the race (and also got a really gross blister by the end). So I was/am hobbling around really pathetically and we did not do any more hiking in our remaining two days in the park (and left earlier than we might've). I'm hoping the ankle will feel better soon and I didn't actually do damage. No idea, I've only done something to my ankle once (and not even sure if it was this one)--that was better in a couple days. Though yesterday I ended up walking 9900 steps, according to fitbit, which is...not really taking it easy. Today I'm only at 5500.

I was very disconcerted by the pig legs, thinking at first that Sophia was going to eat them.

Oh no, meara! I hope your ankle heals up quick.

Also pro-self-kindness in general.

Also also, the Tony Starkification of Colbert definitely works for me.

My officemate believes in homeopathic medicine. And she's aware that there's nothing actually in them, but she says that "the memory of the chemical is there." She has a doctorate in electrical engineering! I think I give up on people.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

But not in chemistry, apparently.

Oh, I'm sore. My tush is not happy with all the squats I've been doing.

Man, I hear about water having memory and all I can think is I sure hope not or we'd all have a lot more dysentery.

My goodness. People!

Uh-huh re: Colbert.

Yikes, -t. Also, Hee!

I made it through the day. Turns out it was day 1 of 3 days of training, which at least meant less time on the computers, which is good. Not so good was the ambient noise in the classroom at every break. At lunch I got a quick sandwich & ginger ale and sat out in the sun, which helped some. But when I got home, I had to collapse into bed for half an hour.

SO grateful my BIL works a block from me and is willing to give me rides this week.

On the down side, I have no energy to hang out with the coworkers who are in town for training, which is a drag because I really like them.
