I feel like this accurately represents me trying to carry anything remotely heavy or awkward right now. My back isn’t a fan of much weight and my leg is wobbly. Still working on a solution. Really, really trying not to feel bad about this all the time, but it’s definitely a challenge. Things are better than they were, but not good enough. It’s hard to live with pain—constant like before or intermittent like now—for four months straight. Seeing a surgeon on Monday to see if he can help. 😬 Anyway! Watch Schitt’s Creek. It’s my love language. 💘 Gosh, baking makes me happy. There are so many things to learn and try. It can be messy but is still pretty easy to clean up. Not everything turns out but the process is always worth it. And lots of things are delicious, so that’s a nice perk too. 💘 I hope you have a hobby that’s just something you love and has zero to do with work obligations or making money or anything else that takes away the pure joy. If you don’t,try things out until you find one. Or think of something you use to love but lost along the way. 💖💖💖 I made cake truffles for Valentine’s Day and have a bunch away. I think this weekend I’ll try the next recipe in my bread book. (I’m baking it in order to learn everything in the book.) Oh, hey. New hobby alert. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s basically magic for my nose. 🔮 So far I’ve been diffusing an energizing combo in the morning to start my work day and something calming in the evening when I’m winding down. I’m really sensitive to scents, so it’s working nicely for me. 💖💖💖 (PSA: Do not try to replace modern medicine with essential oils. Science is amazing.) It’s dreary here right now. Cold and drizzling all day. ☀️ I’m very ready for the shining sun and a nice breeze. We’re building a big garden in the backyard now (and sprouting seeds inside under a light currently). I’m really looking forward to time spent outside tending our tiny farm. Funfetti! Sprinkles on top *and* inside! 🎀🎀🎀 I hope your week started off fantastically. I think I’ll make time to swing by @thedallasarboretum this week. It might be a little early for the spring blooms (and so many tulips!) but I bet it’ll still be lovely. 💖🌷💖 (This photo was taken during a previous visit in October.) Reminder: make something. 💖
