oops forgot to hit post last night
Mar. 27th, 2026 06:52 amhenna on my head.
been very productive and active today and got through EVERYthing, including cooking healthy meals for myself AND Josh this morning - it made me late departing to work but I still somehow was able to get ready on time, luckily! - all my orders shipped, been reading the Flourishing book all day and downloaded their app - omg I need HELP lol, I have a LOT of work to do on all of the pillars of well being (Awareness, Connection, Insight, Purpose) but the only one I got a good score on was connection. I thought I was a relatively aware and insightful person with at least some sense of purpose but apparently not! Maybe this is partly because I took the quiz in the middle of my lunch break at work lol.
Anyway, took a much needed nap when I got home from work, rinsed off the chicken eggs from up the street so Josh won't fear them (he's a little squeamish about unrinsed eggies), played with Avalanche, made myself a beautiful healthy dinner, I did eat crackers today but not too crazy much, and everything else was super healthy. (collard greens with beets and mushrooms, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with hemp seeds and unfortified nutritional yeast, this was part of both lunch and dinner, along with my usual greek yogurt with fruit bowl in the morning with walnuts and cinnamon and goji berries, snacks were one of the farm eggs with rosemary, a banana, two tiny apples, sweet potatoes with organic pasture butter with my dinner.)
I've been skipping afternoon coffee/lattes for the most part, maybe down to once a week at this point, and always before noon, having traded it for collagen coffee in the late morning after my first ritual cup that starts my day well before breakfast.
My morning ritual consists of brewing coffee while tidying up the kitchen and making sure everything is ready for Josh to make his breakfast, feeding Avalanche, and then sitting outside and doing a bit of appreciation and I'm adding a five minute loving kindness meditation in there, while listening to the birds, brushing Avalanche on my lap, and sipping my coffee. I put treats out for the shifty crows and they scold us until we leave, too skittish to come while we are there.
Meanwhile the crows at the Overlook House practically land on my head, asking for cashews, lol.
Granted: they've known me a lot longer.
Skipped work on taxes but I feel like Shadowplay is more important, tonight. I genuinely believe I can finish them tomorrow after work, or Saturday with Josh's help at the very latest. He decided not to go back to Smith Rock to climb this weekend so he'll be around.
I think we should celebrate once I file with a visit to the Ole Bolle troll on Sunday :) Have some mindfulness matcha tea and I can do my awareness practice. :)
