Much Better

I fixed myself LOL.

I KNOW what I need to do and if I can bring myself to do those things, even when I feel blah, it helps.

Best run of 2020.  Longest meditation of 2020.  Made a last batch of tomato soup (I over bought tomatoes from Costco and they aren't good for slicing, but fine for soup) and ate plant based, good food all day.

I phoned-a-friend from CA to catch up.  It's hard to sync our schedules, but I caught her at just the right time.  It was an interesting, fun conversation -- all good things.  She's the friend I went to Austin, TX with in February.  First and only trip of the year.

I FINALLY tried the latch hook I bought at the beginning of quarantine.  Something quiet and focused.  It took me a minute to remember how to do it and it's quickly getting boring (hah), but I plan finish it.  It's for ages 6 and up LOL.

Braiding Sweetgrass (Robin Wall Kimmerer) is a beautiful book.  The author is from an Indigenous tribe, has a PhD in botany and is a poet.  Her storytelling is incredible.  The first 30 something pages are loaded in the book spine wrong -- upside down and backwards.  The book itself is nice -- good pages, good font. Funny to have a printing error so big and unnoticed. 

My mother sent me an old recipe from my grandmother.  It's her mother's recipe and is missing the flour -- love the way the amounts are listed too.  It's how it was done back in the day :)  I'm going to use Framebridge and put it in my kitchen -- family connection.  It was nice of her to send it to me (I mentioned I was making Ginger Snaps this year).

My back is wonky after yesterday.  I think it's a combination of running, long sit with meditation and then bent over doing the latch hook.  I need to be careful today.  It's better overnight, but not great.  

I have a full day today, but full in a good way.  Final grocery store run before Christmas (if my list holds up and I don't forget anything).  I have a life coaching call this afternoon -- it may be my last if she's decided to change coaching directions fully.  Later today is cookies for my youngest -- oatmeal, coconut, chocolate chip -- IF my back is okay, otherwise I'll push it out.

Have a happy day and stay well.  Later gator.
