Random Tuesday – Just tryin’ to make it


For your consideration, this is the playlist I’m using this morning: City Pop on Vinyl

  • Well, we have been doing pretty good with our new life choices: eating earlier meals, more greens, and walking throughout the day. I only did 2 miles yesterday but Ash did 6! He walked 2 after breakfast, 2 after lunch, and 2 when I got home. This feels like a good thing! We even went to bed very early last night.
  • Of course, this means we both woke early. He got up at 5:30 and made eggs; I stayed in bed because I was VERY tired. Yesterday was somehow the most tired I have felt in a while. I felt disconnected; like I was living outside my body. I managed to get through my lectures with some coherency – I hope – but it was rough.
  • I feel a lot better today; more motivated anyway. The plan is to do the indoor cycle and then walk in the afternoon. We were going to have Mexican for lunch but Ash has to drive out to a co-worker’s place to grab his laptop; I guess he had surgery and can’t travel or something. Probably for the best; I overeat at El Jalisco anyway. But it’s so good!
  • My Publix rolled out a new thing just yesterday: fresh Boars Head breakfast sandwiches from 7-9. I think I may go get one this morning to see. Looks like they’re slightly cheaper than Panera or Starbucks, which is a good thing.
  • I started making a new mead, as mentioned, and I just added yeast energizer. I find that with the last one, I had a stalled fermentation but I can’t figure out why. Mead yeast is resilient and I put it in a dark place. This stuff is basically foolproof and here I am, having issues. Hopefully the energizer will help. I have read conflicting advice on when to add but most people say every 3 days during the first week or so up to the recommended amount. So, 1/4 tsp until 1 tsp has been added. We shall see! I don’t think I’d win our competition but I’d like to at least BE competitive.
  • We watched Mary and Max last night, which is made by the same guy who did Memoir of a Snail, which was one of my favorite movies from 2024. I think this was good too but not as. I’d still recommend it though. OK, off to the store!

    1. I have not heard of Memoir of a Snail but now I want to look it up! That’s great that you guys are walking a lot. I’ve been reading about how good walking is for you. Some say better than running? From staring at the stats on a treadmill, I know that you burn more calories running than walking but I guess walking has a lot of great benefits and is easier on the joints and what not. Now that I’m walking about as much as I’m running, I love to hear of walking’s benefits :).

    2. They had a bacon and cheese on egg, a sausage egg and cheese biscuit, a breakfast burrito, and some kind of croissant. I think it’s something new they’re trying out

      1. Yeah I can get up and get there, for sure. But it would be nice to hit it on my way to teach. Sadly, I leave the house for that at 9:30. Sigh.
