That's where Mr.R and I are currently 😬 we want to move so bad and get more land but everything is expensive, it would be nice to pay more off of our current house and I need a job. 

Whoa, worth it!  

Thank you. I'm thinking that we need to watch all of Drumhead and have a conversation about it. It's an excellent episode, and dense with ideals. And timely.

Reinforcement for a couple of days of not eating like a jerk, weight is down finally!   Oof, sleepy this morning - I woke up during the night and had a hard time getting back to sleep. BUT the sky looks to be some groovy shade of pink right now, which i am hoping ushers in a bright blue sky day, and that always gives me energy. As a backup, I’m going to prep a latte, haha.   Today: PhD defence (NOT MINE, I’m just an examiner, but it will take most of the day) and lifting after that. Exams are winding down so I’m optimistic that even if I roll up to the gym at 430 pm it shouldn’t be too too crowded. I think that, plus keeping on top of essential emails that roll in, will be all I can do work wise. Bleh, tomorrow is another day of all day events! I struggle with feeling super unproductive on such days, which is true in one sense (just keeping up with the treadmill and getting no writing done or even grading), but on the other hand all the meetings are job related, it’s just the part of my job that doesn’t directly advance my own research program.   Let’s see what cool birds I can find on the way to campus! Brown thrashers and pine warblers are back, apparently, I haven’t seen ‘em but colleagues have. And fuzzy little goslings are starting to hatch all over town ❤️

Yes these! Thanks       And thank you!

Not really, and when we do it's a one day deal so people can join the protest downtown. Which is a damn shame if you ask me, but let's not get into that.   It's nice to be doing them again!   Monday 22 April  Cooking: Had to rush off to work, so no breakfast and took leftover cauliflower rice/couscous with beef mushroom stir fry for lunch. I did however make fish fingers in a tortilla wrap for dinner and also cooked a couple of pork steaks to be chopped up for future dishes, so two points there.  Media Production: Listened and posted about the album of the day. Also listened to a new one that came out on Friday.   Not skill point related in anyway, but also "assisted" my girlfriend fiance in booking tickets to come see me late next month. I put that in quotes because I didn't really do anything, just a screen share for reassurance she was doing everything right with the booking. She's too awesome to need me to hold her hand through this. But yeah, tickets booked! Much excite!

This sounds amazing and wonderful. Disconnect from everything, as much as you can, and enjoy the break! We'll be here when you get back  

This is the clip I actually wanted to find for you. Took me a while, but here it is.    

Sounds like your body was just telling you to slow down a bit.  Glad you had fun at the theater outing! I can be like that too, with a quick reaction to say no to unplanned stuff. But sometimes unplanned stuff is the best!
