Y’all this is wild. Texas was open, now it’s closing again … I have tried to read as much as I can, do what I think is right, and continue to be more or less isolated in my house. But I just can’t hold it in any longer: this is complete fear mongering or safety…

COVID Checklist Week 15
Here’s what’s keeping me covidtained… Workouts Peloton cardio & strength workouts are tiding me over while I figure out what’s next … … and I am using Costco-sized olive and avocado oil for my “medium” weights in Keaira Lashae’s Trap n Tone dance + arms class, which I am *embarrassed* to say had me sore…
Covid Week 14 Update: Mask
During this weird Covid time, I’m more of a bandana mask wearer than a mask-mask wearer. But I just received this email and had to share—and buy a mask (they have one with stars on it, after all). Covid + prison reform all in one I’m a longtime supporter of Defy Ventures and believe deeply…

I hung out with people, outside, over the weekend. We’ll see what happens. Week 10. Week 9. Week 8. Week…

COVID Checklist Week 9
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…
