I did somehow end up making a lot of food yesterday though; the kind of food with lots of work-lunch leftovers. So there’s that.

I will say, my motivation comes and goes. I did stuff over the weekend and felt so great! Then I’d sit for a second and be like, oh blah, I am so not getting up.

And one of my all-time faves:
