  • Morning Coffee with Glennon Doyle’s Untamed.
    A 3 mile slow as m o l a s s e s run. I’m so glad I got outside because it was cool, not cold, and clear. I feel good about doing three miles three times a week again.
    A delivery from my sibling: a new generation AppleTV to replace my decade? year old one.
    Heated blanket never gets old.
    Family.
    Dinner: ground beef with Trader Joe’s Italian seasoning you can only find in the holiday box. With cauliflower rice.

  • Legs up a chair in astronaut.

Welcome to December!

Dinner tonight was absolute *perfection*. Skate wings from Red’s Best cooked in a little butter and olive oil, salt and pepper. Made a pan sauce with lemon. Served over seasoned rice with rice vinegar and furikake. Could I have used some greens? Probably. But it was just the perfect plate as it was.

Movement: started my attempt at going back to 3 miles, 3 times a week again. Got in a perfect relaxing run, breathing only through my nose (slows you down and keeps your heart rate low), with Marie Kondo’s Joy at Work on Audible as I ran along. I also enjoyed my regular Tuesday Yin class with Yasmene. Long slow holds. Or as Elyse put it tonight: “She’s like your Yoga Fairy Godmother!”

Recommended Holiday Watching: Dash and Lily on Netflix. Cute nerd teen self discovery treasure hunt rom com. 8 episodes, a satisfying ending. Now I need something with the same vibes.

Good Things: Tech. I’m closing all my tabs before heading to bed tonight. No more waking up with dozens of tabs!
