View Larger Lady time: chocolate mug cake and beer for dinner. Milagros bracelet making. Happy endings marathon.
and while i had a few crazy leg pains during the run/walk, i finished it! and have no soreness in my legs today! and did not feel like my chest was exploding at any time during the run!
the bad news is i’m having one of those sushi-burrito things for lunch today. j/k. that’s not bad news. that’s awesome news.
View Larger 2 months until we are headed west to visit the far east. and climb fuji-san! and eat everything! and buy all the kawaii kitty stationary i can find!
1.5 months until i turn the big three-oh. oh no! j/k, WHO CARES. i’m getting old. c’est la vie.
1 month until we climb mt washington. because if i can’t hustle stateside, i shouldn’t hustle on the pacific rim. probably.
also: many more monadnock hikes and laps down by the mystic to get this anti-mover (me) in shape for life. i still hate running/jogging/moving, but i’m hating it a little less lately. so that’s good.
i am dying over the name of this conference room. it is probably in bangalore (hence the bang) but still. dying.
View Larger mmmmmm. this is a photo illustrating why i can never be a practicing vegetarian. it’s too hard and i’m too weak.
i’m not even hungry - but that brisket, slaw and juicy jalap need to jump into my mouth right now.
Today was awesome because I found a mommy and baby snail, we got donuts from Kane’s, we found a friendly wild turkey in Lynn woods, we ran 3 miles, and I have the greatest cutest mom on earth. And it’s not even 2 pm! And GoT night!
I love today!
1. this makes me feel worse about having accidentally/stupidly broken a plate 2 weeks ago while rushing to get chinese food into my face.
2. i wonder if my mom would be upset if i sold the remaining plates i have on ebay? (she bought them for me as a gift 2 yrs ago.)
3. i should ask my mom to buy me more fancy plates and fewer fancy cast iron pans. so i can be ebay rich.
(p.s. i only have these fancy plates b/c mommy works part-time at a store that gives her a crazy discount and she finds the greatest deals/steals and thinks i should have nice things. which i now want to resell.)
we’ve lived there for so long (2 yrs? not long, but feels long). and it’s huge with a great yard and great neighbors and all the storage in the world and a really affordable rent.
but it’s probably ridiculous for 2 people and 2 cats to live in a 2.5 bedroom, 6 room apartment. and also, we’re afraid our kitchen ceiling might cave it at any moment due to the intermittent leaks from the 3rd floor and a negligent landlord. and while i don’t even notice the flowered wallpaper much anymore, it is visually offensive to visitors - i know it.
but now, just to test the waters i’m checking out our options on craigslist and everything is RIDICULOUS. either $800 more than we’re paying now for a tiny, updated 2 bedroom OR something at our current rent that looks to be 1/2 the size or smaller.
like, we’re interested in downsizing but NOT completely and NOT if we’re not going to save money. and also i’m so reluctant to leave somerville that i’m basically setting us up for failure. so maybe this is the end of my housing search for the year and/or until our ceiling caves in.
blah. i’m ready to move to colorado.
