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).

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.

Yeah, I had loads of fun with April 1st when the kids were at home, but don't indulge anymore. They loved it.

Quite sure it isn't a joke, but apparently for the next 30 days I have full self-driving ability in my car. I did notice when I drove to the park this morning that my surround display was substantially enhanced where I could see farther behind and to the sides, lane painting, lights, and so forth. I always had some, but more detail. I'm not going to try it out in downtown Ft. Lauderdale traffic, but around the park and mall where I charge is fine. I've noticed lately it wants to park for me all the time too, but I still do it myself.

As I typed this DH came through and said he was going to the phone store to upgrade his phone, so I told him to take my car and play with it. He left his phone on top of the car where it slid off in traffic and was smushed. Someone found it and he repaired the screen, but some other functions still don't work, so new phone. We can't count the number of times he has driven off with things on top of the car, or when he had the truck on the back bumper. Sigh, he is so brilliant with so many things, and so completely scatterbrained in other ways.
