Of Chipotle and Catharsis

13,056 Days Alive

I am not up to this tonight. I’m upset and stressed and just… not up to it. I’m going to go meditate.

Take your meds, folks; and hug your loved ones as often as you can.

13,048 Days Alive

1.15 Miles Walked

Reffie and I went to the Van Gogh Experience at The Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg today. I was moved to literal tears, at one point. Not by the images themselves, but by the words. His words; his own struggles and emotions in his own hand.

1 New Project on the Hook

My friend Alex is currently gestating. She’s due sometime in May, I believe. But the baby shower is in about four weeks. So I have that long to make an heirloom, bespelled blanket for the Shiny little one she and her husband are expecting.

13,028 Days Alive

1,842 Steps Walked Today

2 Packs of Mushrooms Bought for Under $3.00

1 Final Chimichanga Eaten

So. The synonym of the day is “lifestyle change” rather than dieting. Because dieting has very negative connections in my mind and I take it to extreme and dangerous lengths. So instead, I’m making a lifestyle change.

But I’ll power through.
