I don't post very often now, since my real life has been busy, but it's a good thing. Spending more time outdoors and doing all the things.

Three good things:

1. Back to the dragonboating, and with a coach who actually gives a shit about me as an individual, not just what I benefits I can provide as a paddler.

2. Made my first Irish stew of the season. It turned out really well!

3. Oh my god, I slept SO well last night. It was the best sleep I have had in a long time. Physically tired myself out in the morning working out for 2h, went for lunch, went for second lunch, then mentally tired myself out watching the Odessey (good movie!). I think it's what I needed: To be 100% tired so even my brain stops working.

Shout out to all of the recipe blogs that also include metric! Now, for the crochet sites to also include UK...

#ThreeGoodThings this week:

1. My heart has calmed down. Going out for 10k steps and gym has helped.
2. So has my new, low stress job!
3. Though I don't know what the cause is, I know how to manage my night time asthma.

Also: go, Canada! 🇨🇦 ⚽

A few good things in the last few days...

1. I woke up on Saturday, checked the availability of GPs, and there was one slot! Snagged it.

2. I've been prescribed a preventer. This has worked for me before, and it'll work for me again.

3. I finally slept through the entire night after 4 (!) weeks of either insomnia or coughing myself awake.

Hi, Fediverse. What is something that you grew up saying at the end of sentences in your childhood? Or silly responses to things. It can be in English, in any country, in any language (if it's in another language other than English, I'd love a translation).

There is no specific reason to ask, I am just curious.

When I was in my teens, it would be:

• Your mahm!
• That's what she said (unashamedly still say this)
• In bed (Still sometimes say this )
• Psyche!
• Jinx!

Edit: Boosts are appreciated. Let's learn.

1. Even though the dried split peas were old, I still managed to make a delicious split pea and ham soup. Added some potatoes and carrots to bulk it out.

2. I caught up with a friend today. She's one of the ones where you don't talk all the time, but when you get together, it's like you've never been apart. She made me lunch, and I picked her mandarin tree (I am at least 30cm taller than her + whatever extra height I gain on a step ladder). The mandarins are so good.

3. I already have plans for meals next week. Eggplant curry, and pasta. Two separate meals. I love it when ingredients just come together themselves.

I haven't done this in a few weeks, but a few good things...

1. After all of the news about the Varroa mite killing off bees, I was thrilled to have a honey bee finally visit. It had very big pants.

2. I may have caught an invasive brown marmorated stink bug in my yard as well, and have reported it to DEECA. If it comes back as invasive, TBC. If not, I'll let it go free.

3. I've been getting closer to hitting my macros lately. A year ago, I would be too far gone in to the carbs. I'm definitely getting better at tracking my food and fuelling better for my workouts.

Bonus: My workout on Monday was so good that I am still very sore.
