• Here’s my mani from last week! Next week I will go all pink to match my marathon outfit.

• As mentioned, I canceled my strength class today to get more sleep. I’m proud of me! It’s hard for me to not start my morning with a workout. I was up at 5:20 to feed the outdoor cats and was like “Ugh! It’s so nice out! I should run!” but I told myself no and got another hour of (fitbull, bad dream filled) sleep.
  • Sidebar – it’s such a weird feeling to be like “I shouldn’t waste this nice weather by sleeping” as if that is the only time the weather will ever be like that again. Weather FOMO.
• I was out doing grocery pickup Tuesday after work and randomly saw Steven flying back to the airport! He was doing a solo flight to the training area and back.

• I had cupping done during my massage last week to help with my back, and it’s the first time I’ve had it done since I’ve been on blood thinners. One of the marks was really red! It’s almost faded away now. The cupping felt good and really helped. I totally didn’t care that it left marks, but I did get a few funny remarks at class.
• We’re planning to do a garden this year. We’ll focus on the things we loved from last year – black krim tomatoes, some baby tomatoes, some Valley Green brand of green beans, basil, cilantro, maybe one cucumber seed? Ha. We didn’t get anything planted indoors before now. Steven put some black krim seeds into soil this weekend to see if they do anything. We’re also going to do succession planting instead of planting everything all at once.
• REI update – as of Monday it had been a week since I called and I still hadn’t received the box of GUs I ordered.  I called REI and they said it hadn’t shipped yet because a manager has to check it. I asked them to cancel it and refund me (they will) – I ordered them a month ago for a marathon that is 2.5 weeks away. I won’t need them anymore by the time they arrive!!!!
