I finally did my passport photo and shipped my passport to QC for renewal, now we wait 🥺 hoping it comes back within the month 🤞🏻

[nikimontage]

panic texted nick that we needed stuffed homemade pasta in our bellies tonight so ended up in Russian Hill two hours later (our getting out of the apartment thing tonight!)

[nikimontage]

in office days + SOFT SERVE WITH SPRINKLES??? the dream!

[nikimontage]

this looks confusing but this is spaghetti squash with beyond meat balls I made last night and it was DELICIOUS so delicious that I took the time to write all the exact steps in my notes app haha

[nikimontage]

my goal this week is to leave the apartment after work every day - this was monday! 🥰✨

[nikimontage]

20,000+ steps later and you’ll find us here for the rest of the night (meanwhile nick is prepping dinner of these vegan “steaks” and mushroom risotto) / we are very cozy!

[nikimontage]

golf fit for the range!

[nikimontage]

a lil solo action for Ted (he did SO WELL spinal walking on grass!! I can tell he’s building up his endurance and I feel so proud!!) + a nice dry cider and mushroom empanada (my roommates and I used to go here multiple times a week ahahah tastes like 2021 to me 🥹)

[nikimontage]

finally FINALLY went back to my old stomping grounds for my fav 6 mile loop 🥹 I miss getting 15k steps before work - I was completely spoiled living so close to this walk - I had zero gym membership but was in the best shape of my life haha

[nikimontage]

spontaneous farmers market stop off of highway 1 just south of half moon bay! 🌙

[nikimontage]

my performance review call is tm morning 🥲

[nikimontage]

great call overall!

tldr hr ain’t early promoting anyone across the firm this year :( I figured this was likely the end result hearing some of the bts politics but I’m super proud I tried for it anyways! the comp chats sound super promising tho 👀 excited to have that convo in a few weeks!

[nikimontage]

this guy slept through the night with no accidents in our bed (super cuddly) for 9.5 hours 😭😭😭

this + him peeing on his own at the park yesterday are such big milestones!! we are so proud!!

[nikimontage]

ugh I can’t even talk about the Habs 😭😭😭

[nikimontage]

soooo I’m not the best at opening wine bottles and long story short I ended up popping the cork using two knives from our silverware set and managed to get red wine on my face, my arms, my pants, THE CEILING, but not the couch or the rug 🤌🏻 considering myself lucky haha

Grandmas were so right about puzzles and knitting and crocheting and solitaire and reading slow and slippers and baking and watching deer in the backyard send post

mom son trip to the park!

he did EXCEPTIONALLY well and I feel soooo relieved we found a method of transportation that works for him

my poor back on the other hand hahahah

our routine was me letting him out once we got to the grass and put him on a leash and let him “walk” around to the other end of the park!

then he got sleepy and lied down and we sat like that for a bit until I decided it was time to go home and scooped him back into his bag haha

fortunately I ran and caught the muni (streetcar) back home! but lol running to catch the bus must have looked so embarrassing / poor Ted was looking at me like are we for real??
