• We went to our first baseball game of the season on Sunday (Padres @ Brewers) with Rachel and her husband! I always have a great time whenever I see her!

• Steven had two of his Cessna 182 flying lessons this week! It’s been so fun hearing about what’s different vs the Cessna 172. The 182 is a lot faster, and some of the checklists (especially landing) have more steps. So, less time to do more! I remember when he was training in the 172 and felt that way, but then he did it so many times and got so good at it that time started to feel like it was slowing down at landing. I know that will happen with the 182 as well.
• Ugh, since Wednesday last week my left upper shoulder/back has been in so much pain when I wake up. It’s really affecting my mood in the morning. I wonder if it’s from my bike ride. I took a break from riding last weekend but I really need to get back to training! I’d usually get a massage for this type of thing but that doesn’t work for my schedule anymore (without taking a whole day off work or finding a new massage therapist in the city).
• I went to the gym this morning (and it didn’t aggravate my shoulder/back, yay!), which means I packed my work outfit to change into later. The blouse I put in to wear is one I recently sized up in, meaning I have a L and XL at home… and I bet you can guess which one I grabbed. The L. Oops. I won’t make that mistake again.
• I have reached peak cat lady. The veterinarian was in need of a female cat to spay (for learning purposes) and they asked me if I had one that needed it. Ha! I don’t. They said they know I sometimes bring in strays to be fixed and wanted to check, since it would be $FREE. That’s really kind they thought of me. It made me miss Penny, who was already spayed, but still. We’ve been doing so much in the yard lately and I know Penny would have loved following us around.
• And on a not sad note, I love my new mani so much! It’s definitely an all-time fave. I’ve been getting lots of compliments.
