I came upon an empty parchment paper container sitting on the kitchen floor. The trash can is literally 3 inches away at the corner of the photo.
Yeah… 🤦‍♀️ #LivingWithBoys

I got to wade in the creek finally. August always means the water is tolerable. ❤️
Next visit I will bring my camping chair and sit in the middle of the creek.

I haven’t worked out on a steady schedule for a few weeks. I’m trying to get through some health issues and haven’t felt very good. I will try to start up a gentle yoga regimen again just to stay moving, breathing, and keep the muscles working isometrically. No answers from Dr yet. Very frustrating.

We went and watched the live action How To Train Your Dragon yesterday. I loved it & was so happy. I was nervous at first because remakes are usually a disappointment. But then I learned the same director just really loved the story & wanted to relive it in live action form. The Soundtrack is great!

I put him in one of my plants and he buried himself under the leaves.🍃

Adhd has me scattered today. Making lists of ttd & it keeps getting longer.
My Mind is too busy, i need calm.
Cleaning my house & every 20 minutes i get stuck & need to zone out.
Too many hobbies= Someone tell me how i release emotional attachments to my STUFF.
I need a minimalist environment.

Hi Ben!
Both my autistic teen boys deal with a lot of anxiety. It often interferes with their life. They won’t try medicine and they won’t try my yoga ideas, lol.
What advice would you give me to help them out with this? I know anxiety often just comes with the territory, so to speak.

🍃At the clinic. Bp is 147/90 today. Uggg. On the upside i lost 10 pounds.
I’ve Been working a bit more on my diet, nothing crazy. Plus my yoga fusion has been a good help with my anxiety too.
Next step is to find a naturopath.

Ex boyfriend was driving & the passenger side (me) was completely crushed in. He got sued by another party that got hit when the car spun. Then he wanted me to lie at small claims court & say the light was green. Truth was i never saw it & that’s what i told the court.

I ended up placing 2nd (heptathlon) It was So painful I was crying after the first race, 100m hurdles, & my opponents carried me to the medical tent. I get upset thinking about it because i had done really well all year, training was great, and i was PRing up to the finals.
Oh well… life goes on.

My knees aren’t getting better. My hips ache more. & my rebounder workouts aren’t helping. Ugh. Water aerobics or water running would be nice. But i have no pool or access to one. Had to do water running after a car wreck left me in whole body pain & bruises. It was a week before T&F state finals.

My German Shedder is doing what her title suggests, and I’m going crazy vacuuming and mopping the house. Plus she doesn’t let anyone but my husband brush her, & even then will fight him. I was so excited to get a new vacuum. lol

This was several years ago. We have a weird half wall separator in our entry way, and kitty Tharion copied what my kiddo did by hoping on the wall to sit with him ☺️. I think my kiddo was just chatting with him lol.
He was a good friend to us & we’ll always miss him.❤️

Nice post rain jog around the preserve. My knees were giving me spots of trouble though;
the cost of being a competitive athlete in my early days, abusing it like i would be able to do athletics forever. Sigh.

Wow.
I saw a video of a goat that was defending one of the chickens against some bird of prey trying to take it. It was incredible.
Poor hens.
