got ink.
My goals for this year are very few. There’s too much uncertainty, and I am lacking free time to do the things I had originally planned to do this year. Chloe drew the design based on the diamorpha at Arabia. And I had it tattooed onto my wrist: Cross that off my list!

It was a wonderful day when it was finally cool enough to return to the mountain after an extra-long summer.
hot tea hike with ranger robby.
Chloe did not have a good night’s sleep. Her mouth and face hurts from her new braces. At first, she was unwilling to get up early for a hike. But then she rallied. And we headed out … and Phelix was so unhappy. I feel so guilty that I’m taking him out for a hike

Beach. The beach. Any beach. It has been far too long. I wish I lived as close to the beach as my sister does!!
happiness project: appearance + misc (feb)
Thrive, Project 46, and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me.

spring on the mountain – 5 feb 2017
Saturday I was in pain from having pushed myself too hard at the gym — pulled something in my right arm. But on Sunday? Time to hit the mountain. Phelix and I tried a new-to-us section of trail; he likes new trails, but when he gets close to his trail, he *runs*. We ran into

meal planning 4.0
As happens when chaos turns back towards routine at our house, I find the time to exercise more and meal plan. We’re tried prescribed meal plans, a true CSA, having camille, plan, shop and cook, a themed meal plan, a customizable farm box, a boxed meal service, and another meal planning service. Sigh. While some
Project46
A couple of weeks ago, I turned 46. Another year has gone by. Not only do I still feel as though I didn’t move ahead enough on my goals, my birthday really brought me down. Low. However, I have moved ahead… What I have managed to accomplish in the past two years makes me proud.
begin again.
After months of turmoil, things in our house (as opposed to the larger world) seem to be settling down into a bit of a routine. I find myself with time on my hands. Since freeing up some time is a huge piece of my multi-year Happiness Project, I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am. Happily

It’s been too long. FAR too long. But today the to do list was blissfully short. The girl was in a good mood. The weather was perfect (41 and sunny). My knee didn’t hurt. So off we went. Chloe, Phelix, and I. I forced them into a small detour; I am quite ignorant of the
