THANK GOODNESS FOR THE OUTSIDE. It’s hot, it’s humid, it’s stormy, it’s clear, who cares, I’m restless and need to be outside! This past week was marked by great outdoor adventures, lots of things I’m grateful for, and some intense career and emotional work that will hopefully lead me to more peace 🙂 Pedernales Falls…
Doin’ fine in week 9? Nah, the stir crazy is real, and I can’t even imagine how much worse it’d be if I was cooped up in a tiny apartment. That goodness for nice weather in Central Texas. This is what kept me covidtained this week. Week 8. Week 7. Week 6. Week 5 here. Week 4 here. Week 3’s…
I LOVE this idea I stumbled upon for when girls nights are a thing again: At the end of 2019, Emily B. revealed her cozy living room which included three original artwork pieces above her sofa, created by none other than herself along with the help of Velinda, me and a couple of bottles of wine. This…
I am restless. I’ve seen memes saying that it’s a very American thing to be bored by being under quarantine this long … is it? Or is it a very American thing to continuously question authority and the efficacy of our government’s policies? I’d like to think it’s the latter. But who really knows what’s…
Going for a run is an easy thing. But that’s the point, isn’t it? It’s easy for me to go for a run, in the middle of the morning, as a white woman. You can click through to form your own opinion on the story making the social media rounds. My take: specific, intentional racism…
As Austin, and Texas in general, opens back up, I’m taking it slow. So this weird series will continue, and this is what kept me covidtained? this week. Week 7. Week 6. Week 5 here. Week 4 here. Week 3’s here. Week 2’s here. There is no Week 1 because we didn’t know back then. Workouts… I am now physically…
Today marks a confusing technical end to Austin’s “shelter in place” as decreed by the governor, not the mayor. Like many people in Austin, I don’t think much will change for me, yet. Truth be told, I’m a bit sad to give up the amount of free time I have now to play with new…
A special section for special times. This is what kept me covidtained? this week. HOW IS IT WEEK 7? Week 6. Week 5 here. Week 4 here. Week 3’s here. Week 2’s here. There is no Week 1 because we didn’t know back then. Workouts… Still hitting up long walks with Nali, Third Monkey workouts, yoga with King Yoga…
Tuesday, my internet went out. For all my technical knowledge I could do nothing except be on hold—chat and phone, through three devices—with customer service for hours. Once I had the tech scheduled for the next day, I suddenly, irrevocably, absolutely could NOT anymore. I could not work, I could not use my hot spot,…
