serafaeryoh man, that was a big day!
ended up able to get all the dishes done and the kitchen cleaned, and get a tart baked, and prepped salad toppings and rescued and re-packaged Josh's spinach that was starting to get wet in the bag it was in, sliced his bell pepper for snacking, prepped baked tofu for salad and/or snacking also, and prepped my own beets and beet greens and broccoli for meals later this week.
I've been living on sheep milk yogurt and didn't realize I'm pretty much out, need to pick up some more tomorrow night if I can. I can steal Josh's skyr in the meantime but my body doesn't like it as much. I'm walking with Cynthia in the morning (perhaps a bad idea on very sore legs but I feel like I should anyway) and then turn around and shower and somehow get outfits and makeup and hair done for photos with Max by noon lol - that'll be interesting. Maybe I can get up early and just crash after, we have 12-5 set aside for photos. I'm hoping to do 12-2 at Jaja on silks, and then 2-5 at the studio for whatever else we feel like doing.
Josh is crediting me (specifically my feeding him more protein after all the research we've done about nutrition for aging athletes) with being able to do the most reps he's ever done on the bench press before, tonight when he was at the gym. sweetheart. it's nice to feel appreciated and like my efforts count for something, but he needs to give himself credit for the hard work, too. proud of him.
I felt really strong on the ice today, even with very fatigued legs and a sore back and shoulders - I'm overdoing it but I'm still strong, this feels good.
my lower back was hurting so badly and I remembered that I'd mentioned tiger balm patches to my step-dad and his gf and I ordered some online for them today and then put my own tiger balm on my lower back and it felt SO MUCH BETTER and still does even though the tingling has long worn off. is that stuff magic?
still reeling a bit from therapy this morning. it's crazy how it almost feels like a spa treatment but for my emotional self. a gentle massage for my little sore heart. I'm so so so grateful. all the years of waiting feel worth it.
