sparkly but ouchie saturday.
Apr. 19th, 2025 04:16 pmBeen in so much pain. Skipped silks today. My hands hurt so much. My hip is also flaring up, and the spot in my back that has hurt on and off ever since that lead climbing class two years ago. Sigh.
I wanted to make hot cross buns for easter but that requires kneading and I can barely do dishes right now, so I just made soda bread biscuits again. It's a st. patrick's day food but whatever they're wonderful and so easy, much gentler on my hands. These have copious amounts of orange zest and currants. they feel healing to me, I've had two. I used half whole wheat pastry flour and half cassava flour, which is sort of similar to potato or rice flour. I'm out of buttermilk now so will have to remedy that.
The sun came out, it's waaaaaaay warmer and brighter than was forecasted, so grateful. Josh and I sat in the sun and had matcha together after a gentle bike ride to the farmers market to stock up on organic local ranch meats and local fish, some veggies, hand made bread and crackers, and some coffee.
My fitness tracker is warning me that something is wrong with me, my HRV, a stress indicator, is super low - I've never seen it this low except when I was seriously ill with a fever. This paired with the pain flare has me a little worried, just trying to listen to my body and take it easy. the biscuits feel nourishing and comforting. whether they actually are or not hardly matters.
I want to doodle, I also want to nap, so stressed about work, it's really hard to relax. I feel like I should be doing product photos and working on setting up new software for classes and booking, but I think I need to just chill, today. Tomorrow is a big day and I'm a bit stressed. I might end up skipping easter if I'm still not feeling well when I wake up tomorrow.
Regardless, I am so grateful for the sunshine and for the ability, at least for now, to just rest.
Bittersweet to have finished the cryptonaturalist podcast, started a new cute little book called Fairy Lore, that is just oddly comforting, I don't know.
