Diving headfirst into a new project, which is always fun and terrifying, and at the same time refurbished this old MacBook with an ssd and ram upgrade. Gave it a desktop glow-up, and dug into my sticker collection for decorations. Now I’m heavily invested, and wouldn’t have it any other way ✨

I’ve had these Heavy Metal cards in a drawer for many years. Finally decided to do something with them, so arranged them in a frame. Pretty happy with the result!

After several months in our new place I finally got around to installing some stained glass window film. Now I get rainbows inside every sunny afternoon/evening!! Love it 🌈

This is a brag post - every now and then I’m reminded that I have ninja skills 🥷 Last weekend it happened at the skatepark when the seat post on my old Kuwi bmx snapped while cruising through the skatepark with my son, but somehow the incident ended with me standing overtop my bike holding my broken seat in my hand rather than in a lacerated heap on the ground… phew 😮‍💨 Then later that day I took my son to an arcade and my first run through the laser maze landed me in first place out of nearly 10,000… was proud enough of that to snap a pic of the results despite being totally shocked 😮

Been loving my surf skate! Getting better at carving for speed and it’s been a joy to zip around the neighborhood. Skated to the river the other day and had my first salmon berry of the season, yum! 😋

I had decided on“breakfast for dinner” but was feeling uninspired by my usual eggs and avocado on toast… so I made this egg sandwich instead with the addition of aged cheddar, kale, tomato, and spicy ketchup with potato rounds. Dinner for 1 success! 🥘

And found this little guy at a thrift store today 🐿️

Edit - still partnered tho! 😉

Bought some collectible fantasy cards a few years ago as part of an ongoing mid-life crisis. Was flipping through them this morning out of boredom, after waking up earlier than’s convenient as usual. Found a couple cool Christmas themed ones 🧑‍🎄

Got covid and it’s totally forked all my plans these last few days 🙄 On the bright side tho, I’ve got to binge ‘The Good Place’ on Netflix. Feels like I’ve had a cute Fall leading into it, and here’s to looking forward to recovering quickly so I can start the Winter feeling good too!

There’s a park nearby where the local school has been making a “fairy forest” full of tiny houses 🧚‍♀️ 🏠 😍 It’s so cute!!! And it’s really grown in the five or so years I’ve been going back there. Always brings me joy to take a stroll thru and try to find my favorite ones 🩵 🩷

I’ve been trying to get more creative with my cooking lately and use new ingredients. This is a pozole-inspired soup made with veggies, hominy, and adobo peppers, with a cheddar-chili cornbread. It was yummy 😋
