I changed the sheets and then rode the bike, making it 8 weeks in a row of biking 5x a week (95% of the times biking 30 minutes or longer).

Right the fuck on!

I did my run (very belatedly) and did manage to do the dishes. Matilda has been hanging out in the garden apartment with friends all day, first Malia and now Iris.

My new beautiful cake is Cowboy Carter, which I am obsessed with.

My gut feeling is this is going to be a very Zeitgeist defining album, like Thriller.

I don't really have any beautiful cake right now. My desktop computer went down and while my music is on a separate hard drive that's effectively stopped me from my usual musical explorations. I really need to get that up and running again, because I feel the lack.

I keep saving movies to watch with Matilda but she's never available for a whole movie so everything from Wonka to Poor Things remain unwatched. But we have been enjoying Harley Quinn and before that Hasbin Hotel (highly recommend) and My Adventures With Superman (animated - also a big recommend).

There are also these shows that I watched with Jacqueline that I haven't watched the new seasons of, including What We Do in the Shadows and Our Flag Means Death.

We're supposed to have nothing but sunshine next week so I'm hoping we make a lot of progress on the decorative painting on the back stairs.

Nice! I’ve been working with the exercise bike (interior, stationary), but today I took my road bike out. It’s so much more fun! There’s about two blocks downhill to my home where I can just glide—it makes me feel like I’m 10 again, except no one can make me eat liver and onions.

I have not worked out today. But I feel like I ought to. I got up at a decent hour, went and picked up some fancy pastries I had pre-ordered (rhubarb honey croissant, garlic leek chili crisp croissant, guava cheese, and a strawberry cronut) and my friend and her two year old came over and we walked to the playground a block away, and her kiddo loooooved walking the dog and would not let go of the leash (the dog was well behaved but not convinced this was a good plan).

Timelies all!

This weekend has not been very productive. Gary's been trying to replace the faucet from the sink in our bathroom, with not much luck. We'll have to call in the plumbers and use the sink in Mr. S's bathroom until that's done.(Doesn't help that whoever installed the sink did so badly)

I was sad face over the Easter bunny skipping me so DH brought me home Keto ice cream bars. Whee!

Egg-stravaganza 300 was predictably chaotic and hilarious, and all the kids seemed happy with their loot. I got to hold the newest great-niece, who's 4 weeks old and was intent on poking me in the cheek and nose. I also had to remove a slug from the egg-hunting bag of one of the great-nieces (she asked, very politely but very seriously, "Can you please get this gross thing out out of my bag?" I also found it gross but realized that this is what it means to be the adult: you have to remove the slug from the egg-hunting bag because you are allegedly the grown-up).

And today is also the Transgender Day of Visibility, which I got to spend with my 2 favorite trans people (Tim and our nephew), so it was an all-around good day.

That is some impressive adulting there, Teppy! You are an awesome aunt.

Very very late but catching up and wanted to especially say, I’m so sorry Epic that you’re facing more of this utter BS that is cancer. I think of you often.

Right, it's April 1st. Stupid April 1st.

April 1, aka Internet Jackass Day.
