TRR! That’s what it felt like when my achilles ripped. But TRR is also a new series on this blog documenting my recovery moving forward, not in the banal I-had-surgery-a-week-later way, but in the emotional, psychological, physical way all of us deal with trauma. I wrote a whole boring intro, but let’s focus on the…
Last year was incredible. It just might have been the most I’ve ever lived up to my word: Grace. I went through some shit, sure, and ended the year on a decidedly un-graceful note with an achilles rupture and subsequent surgery, but taken on the whole, I did a good job of giving myself grace,…
There were many ways I saw this year ending: me having broken in my badass new skis over Christmas in Park City, me booking a last-minute tip to Tahoe or Mammoth to capitalize on the insane 10-foot dumps of snow northern Cal has received, me taking a silly Taos-Santa Fe trip on a semi-PJ, even…
Books I have read since 12/26/21: Transcendent Kingdom – great exploration between science and religion; recommend it although I did not it as much as I loved her first novel Homegoing People We Meet on Vacation – a bit predictable but entertaining nonetheless First Comes Love – ditto but also interesting that both this and…
This week has been… miserable. But there is too so much to be grateful for ❤️ peep the story show and let’s talk about how we feel about the format… love? Hate? Occasionally ok?
My achilles. I’ve been staving off this particular injury since Dr. Bill wouldn’t let me play turf football five years ago in Newport, but when I met my awesome group of pickup football guys here, I just couldn’t help myself. I did massage, chiropractic, wrapping, acupuncture, icing, and all the things to prevent an achilles…
I am apparently experiencing the WSOD… white screen of death. So we’re trying to keep posting from mobile, which is frankly a terrible experience. But it’s all for you, dear readers! Read on for things I’ve been saving to share with you. A great crowdsourced doc on WTF is Web3? Then, a great commentary on…
My original post was around this idea that the games are all on but truthfully that here only sort of on… GAME ON with this website! And dailyhap and lyssart and lyssamyskaallen.com except not bc we’re still in WSOD purgatory and writing this FGF gratitude list on my phone.GAME ON with capture the flag except…
Y’all I don’t wanna be a bratty blogger but I have BEEN THROUGH IT this past month with this blog (and my other sites). I’ve worked through a host (pun intended) of issues, gotten hacked a bunch of times, and—fingers and toes crossed, wood knocked upon—finally have the site cleaned. Here’s hoping we’re back to…
Friendsgiving and familygiving. Happy turkeys and fancy wines. Nali snuggles and baby nephew snuggles. Starbucks family Thanksgiving and a failed yoga class done at home. A humid, rainy night out and cold days. There’s a ton to be grateful for right now! My family is trying to treat this Thanksgiving in Austin like a bit…
