• Steven and I have run together a few times since our 5K! We may do another 5K on July 4th.

  • Something MONUMENTAL happened Tuesday – two cats were in the cat house at the same time! We’ve never seen this! Tywin was on the left side and Snow Jr was on the right side. (It rained all day Tuesday, and the cat house is heated – I’m glad they’re using it!)

  • My RAGBRAI tags came – one for my bike, and one for my wrist. We sometimes order the official RABBRAI jersey, but we didn’t care for it this year.

  • I told Jean how much I loved her entire mental health series (especially “progress is not linear“) and she sent prints of them all to me! What a thoughtful surprise. I’m excited to find the right spot to hang them up around my desk. All these prints will be available on her website tomorrow!

  • My friend Helen debuted a new postcard/notecard series on her store, Blossom & Cat, and one of them features Khali! The cards are all adorable so I ordered the entire postcard series, and she put in a bunch of extras (earrings, pins, notecards) for me, saying it was an early birthday gift. I was so excited – I adore all her products and her earrings are my favorite!!!


  • Ugh, yesterday when I was posting a reel on the Fake Meats Instagram, I got this weird popup that said the password was compromised because we used it somewhere to help get more likes or follows. We absolutely did NOT do that. I changed the passcode and now our account is temporarily blocked from commenting and liking other posts for a week. It’s so frustrating. Sigh. (And the really weird thing is I just listened to a podcast about what to do if this happens – we took the steps but I’m sure we’ll just be restricted for a week).

  • As I post this, I’m taking the 4:55 train to work. I saw another coworker getting on at my stop this am and they’re someone I really like but I … just want to sit in the quiet car on the way to work and home.
  • I always think of this as a journal and often forget  people read it who don’t comment. I don’t mind AT ALL that people don’t comment, it just reinforces that journal feeling.
  • Just for my notes, my INR yesterday was 2.1. Lower than the 2.5-3.0 range, but not low enough to require shots.
