Stella got stung by a bee on her paw this morning so she’s been cosplaying as the Pixar lamp all day.
First pic she’s definitely saying “Count your fucking days, mom. Better sleep with one eye open tonight.”

Oof, that was ugly but it’s a start - told my therapist my goal was to get one 30min ride in before our next appointment. The judgmental side eye from my new workout buddy didn’t help though 👀
If anyone needs me I’ll be worshipping the cold floor for awhile.

Me wondering why I felt like a sloth on Ambien all day yesterday and just now realized:
I took hydroxyzine instead of Wellbutrin.
Am I officially an old now that I realize I gotta label my pill bottles with different color stickers or something?

New puppy followed by said puppy having a solid 5 months of health issues last year meant I went from riding 100+ miles/week to zero all year.

Wild Wednesday night at 34: in bed by 9 with a few electrodes slapped on the back of my neck, frovatriptan and Tylenol down the hatch, and ice beanie on my head.

I love bees.
The one that was bugging Stella, freaked her out, then flew under the brim of my baseball hat and stung me on my eyebrow can go die though.
HAPPY SATURDAY

Love having Black Hill Regional Park as our new back yard. Trail entrance is about 1/4 mile from the house and we have a lake view 🥰

Packing to move this week and always love rediscovering things.
I wish I could go back to being 21 again when my biggest concerns were:
1) Get grades good enough to get into grad school
2) Beat Purdue (and UK) 🏀

When life gets to be too much I always go back to old dive footage. The ocean is truly my happy place where I can be truly present and nothing else exists.

As an SSRI and NDRI-taking girlie, summer in DC is as close to what I imagine the temperature of hell is like. Heat intolerance is probably one of the most maddening side effects for me.
My one and only goal for the next 10 days is to not die.

Stella and I both snuggled up on the couch having a case of the Sunday scaries (Sunday is her bath day and as for me…everything might as well be on fire).
