#tbt to the final #oregonscca Packwood #autox. I got my booty handed to me by this chica but I’ll be darned if we didn’t have a great time chasing each other around in circles! 😂😂 Now that the rain is back the #m3 is packed away... just waiting for another sunny day. Looking forward to new pavement at PIR next year!!! . . . . . . . #girlsontrack #motorsports #girlswhorace #girlsofscca #autocross #bmwm3 #e90 #apexwheels #subyluv #subaruwrx (at Packwood, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpYUsuOhce-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uesyb8zi1ag2

Angioedema: when your body decides something is attacking it and the skin flares up in defense mode. It’s been 8 weeks since my face looked like the left/first photo. Today I have finished up my last steroid cream treatment and in three weeks I can start reintroducing my normal personal care products, one a week. That will put me at around 3 months of disruption due to this singular allergic reaction of indeterminate cause. That last bit is the thorn in my side. Because it’s too difficult to actually determine what caused it, everyone is just like 🤷🏻‍♀️ No way to know so why bother? So, now I’m just waiting for it to happen again? I have suspected some food sources but I guess there’s really no good way to test. Additionally, I gave up beer months ago because I needed to face up to the fact that I really was intolerant to the ingredients. I will say this: when food and drink and personal care products become the enemy, life is a lot less shiny 😔

Season 3 is outperforming season 2. Episode 2 I was jaw on the floor the whole time. Episode 3 had me screaming and yelling in my car. Luckily no one was with me for my commute. Taking a little time before I bite off Episode 4 based on some tweets warning that it was going to be even heavier than Episode3. Be sure your entire emotional bandwidth is available for this one.

A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wing in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky. But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom.(...) Maya Angelou Excerpt from Caged Bird

Wild Canyon Games 2014 - Burple Haze returns stronger than ever! Coming in with the goal of having fun and leaving with a 19th place finish was such a treat! Starting with a strong Triathlon team (15th place!) and a best-ever (for us) geocache result, we finished the challenge round with very little queue times. We rounded out the competition with a just-under-27 minute creek to peak relay (7 legs, crazy obstacles, finishing with a run up communication hill). I had the honor (penance?) of running the timing chip through the finish line at the top of Communication hill, so I took the opportunity to snap some shots of Washington Family Ranch from the best vantage point around! So proud of our team! Seems like 10% preparation and 90% perspiration really got us there!

Today's "OMG I can't take it anymore" project. Too bad about the *rest* of the house...
