i just… love her (my house) !!!

i thrift the majority of my clothes, but today for the first time in a long time i bought a bunch of new clothes. unfortunately for my wallet i discovered i love everything in the free people movement line and went a little wild. buuuut i figure if you dollar-cost average it with my thrift store closet, it evens out. i also got the cutest ladybug themed summery outfit for the noah show (last of the bugs iykyk) and i’m so excited.

pride was super fun as expected! my best friend’s friend invited a bunch of people over to watch it from her porch, which was really nice. i got a lot of free stuff including narcan and this “gay-dy” bug from a sweet older lady. i am feeling pretty beat from all the sun. i wanted to treat myself to food from my favorite vegan restaurant when i was downtown because they posted a few days ago about how sales haven’t been great. then when i tried to go they were super overwhelmed with customers, with a line out the door! which made me so happy, but because they were running out of food i ended up going to my other favorite vegan restaurant to support them. such a good sunday. happy pride! 🏳️‍🌈

wow i have been so busy with work the past few days. i think i had seventeen sessions over three days, which is a lot for me. i’m starting to get the itch for my time off, which luckily is coming soon. just one more crammed week before two beautiful weeks off for alaska and noah kahan. i went to the gym after work today which was good to get done and now i’m having a cozy night in. tomorrow is pride which i’m really excited for because i miss my friends. happy saturday!

another round of lazy girl vegan meals as proof that eating plant-based doesn’t have to be complicated. greek chickpeas and lentil orzo, tofu stir fry and veggies, avocado hash browns, alfredo mushroom protein pasta, and tofu scramble on toast.

so utterly useless in terms of he didn't tell me anything i didn't already know. he did definitively tell me (again because i ask this poor man all the time) that it's crohn's colitis and not ulcerative colitis. which was good. so yeah i'm glad to be able to go down on my meds, but just another reminder of how glad i am that i figured everything out on my own before the doctors because they really don't have a clue what's going on sometimes. he's lucky he's beautiful. also i am a little nervous about going down to maintence, but i keep reminding myself that i do all the lifestyle things that they say to do. i don't drink, don't smoke, eat healthy, exercise, get a lot of sleep, and have since quit my dumb job so my stress levels are at a minimum. the one thing that is a priority to me is maintining my good work life balance because it really feels like my health depends on it. which i can only have because of private practice, so i am really grateful for that.

i love my “sundays”. i had a good leg day, relaxed in the sauna, made a stop at the thrift store, got boba, walked sunny, read my book in the sunshine and enjoyed my freshly cleaned up yard and gardens. might even go on a solo movie date later if i’m feeling up for it!
