I don’t have any kind of over-arching theme or thought for today. So I’ll just pop in five random things that are on my mind this afternoon.
- I went for a run this morning, for the first time in ages. Running tends to get my heart rate way up, but for some reason today…it didn’t? I ran 2 miles without stopping (well, except ONCE to tie my darn shoelace) and it mostly stayed in the higher end of the 150’s. Whaaat! Running is usually pretty difficult for me just because of the HR issue. Guess I’ll have to go again and see if it was just a fluke!
- I got a call from the school nurse at the end of Standup today. Never a good thing. Could hear Liesl crying hysterically in the background — her tummy hurt and she was basically just inconsolable. So Jarrod went to the school to try and calm her down/troubleshoot, and ended up putting her down for a nap in the nurse’s office. We haven’t heard from her since, so. I guess she was just way over-tired. (Too much fun at kneeling vespers!)
- I saw Donna’s Pickle Beer at Trader Joe’s last week and was so tempted to get it. But decided against it — I just couldn’t justify buying four of something that I only just wanted a taste of. Well! Yesterday was a patio chicken street taco grill-out thing, and someone brought the beer! 10/10, maybe would not recommend, but definitely fun to try once.
- Speaking of Trader Joe’s, I’ve got Bool Kogi in the menu tonight. Just gotta figure out how to get the charcoal grill lit.
- The packing continues. Today I am on for “Garage Storage” which might not end up being much — Jarrod’s mostly responsible for what’s in there — so if I have the time and gumption, I might move onto tomorrow’s designated packing, which is (*shudder*) “Outside”
