A Cutting Edge April Fools

So as my Facebook followers know, yesterday was an eventful April Fools Day for me.

It started off great with me accomplishing two new yoga poses I previously always looked at in amazement and wonder. I was feeling empowered. Especially when "you're flexible, try this (more intense) pose" came out of my instructor's mouth. Me? Flexible? Feeling great.

So I biked all the way home with no hands, feeling extra confident and balanced.

I got home and started chopping my butternut squash for my delicious, healthy dinner. SLICE. Cut my finger. Bandaid it up and keep going. WOOP. there's another. Luckily, this one didn't require a bandaid since my last one took my last two. Keep on cutting. SAFIRV4@U$! Major cut on my thumb. "Shoot. This is gonna need stitches. I don't wanna pay for a doctor. I hope they don't have to do a shot in my thumb."

I called Brother Matt waking him from his slumber to ask him if I should go to the doctor... As if he's gonna be able to tell over the phone how serious my cut is...

I went on over to the CareSpot to get it checked. (I am not one to put off going to the doctor. If something's slightly different, I'm there. No Mystery Diagnosis or I Didn't Know I was Pregnant episodes about me).

At this point, paying for anything, was not something I wanted to do, so I nearly just got up and walked out, bought some new bandaids and called it a day. But after fear of tetanus and lock jaw were put in my head, I gave in and did the damn thing. Tetanus shot, glue (thank God no stitches), and this crazy wrap and I was set.

While waiting at the doctor, I did succeed in fooling Mom that I was flying to Copenhagen in a week. Then called and alerted her that was April Fools but I actually was in the emergency clinic.

This didn't ruin my day though. Nor did it deter me from chopping a shit ton of vegetables when I got home. Even the butternut squash.

As if that wasn't enough clumsy for one day, I also spilt coffee on my way out for my Porch Lunch, broke a glass, and one other blooper that I already forgot.

How was your April Fools' Day, readers?!

2023 in Review (Plus 2020-2022, oops)

I am super bummed to realize that I haven't done a yearly review/highlights since 2019! That's FOUR YEARS ago! Pre covid, pre Oregon, pre master's degree, pre return to Florida, pre a million babies being born... So much has changed! It's always to nice to sit back and look at all that happens in a year too. It's now February. I started this post in December and was about to go and try to edit and make it all fancy with links to other posts and all kinds of cool things.... I'm sure there are some mistakes even with the years, things left out... but progress over perfection right? We're just going posting it in 3...2...1... Have fun! 2023 1. Bike bike biking everywhere. To the Grom for tasty lunch treats, Indian almost every week, grocery shopping, to the gym, just to bike around in the sun. It's been great! 2. All the babies came: Lowey-Balls, Krupkas, Bakers, neighbor friends x2, Sarkissians, and even more to come! 3. Finally got the best job wit...

Things I Learned This Weekend

1. Throwing away pictures quickly turns into hours of laughing at old selves and bringing back so many memories. High school friends and I have often wondered what we did in high school since we weren't the typical partying teens. After this picture raid, I realized... we took pictures. In dressing rooms, walmart, cars, kitchen islands... 2. My parents are awesome. I didn't learn this this weekend but it was definitely reinforced. They are just such dedicated, good people. We're also surrounded by some amazingly supportive friends. 3. My dad is so cool. I mean really... Cool guy on the right... Can he get any more awesome? Not to mention that crazy guy on the left, aka Uncle Dennis. I never did get a straight answer about whether he dressed like that on the reg or not. So was that a regular occurrence, Dennis?! ;) 4. Sleepy babies are one of the sweetest things to see. 5. Having adult conversations with toddlers is so amusing to me. Brooks and I d...

Opposite Ends (Atlantic to Pacific)

It's been over a year since being back in Florida. I started thinking of some of these comparisons shortly after returning, but now I have even more to add. And it's more comparing the Oregon Coast to this area, of course. If you're new here, we were in Pacific City, OR a little old town of ~1000 people. Now we're in Atlantic Beach, FL. 1. The amount of laundry. I'd say 3 shirts a day in the summer is typical for this Florida heat and humidity. Go for a morning walk, change shirts... Plant some flowers. Gotta change... Workout, definitely change. Shower, dog walk-- one more change before the night's done. 2. The bank and post office are open on Saturdays here! And restaurants don't close for the winter. 3. Florida neighborhood strolls: Seeing 10+ humans on every walk compared to often only 0. I love the community here! Lovely neighbors, gym rats, baristas. Even my parents! The Padres moved 40 minutes away vs 2.5! Yahoo! Pacific City was just so empty. On...
