Raccoon babies!! Aww.

David, i figured lifting big bags of soil is probably a good reason I’ve been going to the gym? It’s crazy though, because like hauling each one (of three) up a flight of stairs was exhausting…but I used to weigh 60 pounds more than I do now, and I did that all the time??!

Our wings are not tired.

We have good news today, and a reason for celebration! Today we celebrate the birth of Steph L. Happiest birthday, Teppy! May you have a delightful day and may the year to follow be filled with joy.

How is the hand recovery? Any sign of Evil?

Raccoons are very cute when they live far away from me! Preferably via video from remote areas.

Happy birthday, Steph!!!

I just had a giant bowl of strawberries and black raspberries from the market , bananas, plain Icelandic yogurt, a little granola and chia seeds. That should power me to accomplish something?? today? It was delicious anyway.

That sounds super yum, lisah! I bought some strawberries yesterday but not from a market... just from an Aldi. Ha! I hope they're good, though.

Happy Birthday Steph!

I prefer my cute raccoons in commercials or Youtube videos, not fleeing from where they've just crashed through a ceiling.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Pootie and the Toots sounds like the name of a band. I just can't decide if it sounds like a band I'd listen to or not.

I was just thinking that same thing about Necrotic Lymph Node.

Happy Birthday!

Thrive to spite them

For my birthday mom got me some cooling t shirts and shorts and I've been wearing them to work and they make such a huge difference. One day I wore the t shirt and my regular shorts and I was hot and feeling sweaty . She got them off amazon and I'll see if I can get a link because they are a game changer. They also manage to absorb any cold air so waking by the coolers is really refreshing.

I also got some socks from Crazy Compression, which is a NC based company, and I ordered the wrong size. I thought I needed extra wide calf but they didn't really feel right so I ordered another pair in the standard width and I'll compare and return the ones that don't fit

Last night M wanted to walk and get a milkshake and we waited until 8:30 when it was still hot. Like 85F. We just gott a milkshake to share and it was good but I discovered that I can't drink milk or have ice cream because I ended up with stomach spasms and gas and bloating.

I can eat cheese ok. I've had pizza with no problems and cheddar and provolone. I think I can live with this. I don't drink milk that often and no ice cream kinda sucks but it's better than all dairy or gluten being an issue..
