Start the day off a little later than usual because we stayed out late the night before. Coffee is first priority no matter what day of the week it is.

Decide to take a shower while coffee brews because, dude,

bedhead.

That's better.

Kona waltzes in like I'm not going to notice. She's promptly kicked out.

Laundry! That's exciting.

A little bit of farting around online. The artichoke flower continues to defy expectations.

Lady monster tries to sneak up on me.

Then it's her turn to internet.

Broke the yolks on both my eggs this morning. Bad luck.

Cat: Will Flop for Food

Put my eggs and the tomato slices on the leftover salad from last night.

Folding laundry time!

More laundry. It never ends.

More coffee?

Time to check in with mom - good thing there's a three hour time difference.

Write up my to-do list.

Lady feeds the cats.

Grapefruit!! Came from our CSA share and they've been delish so far.

Pretty easy to peel, too.

Lady complains she can't get up with this purrbox on her.

Sheets are clean...

...and bed is made!

Darjeeling is a hog for cuddles this morning.

And she doesn't take kindly to being left behind as we head out.

The workout: find 5 rep max on bench press, then 6 rounds, 3 minutes each, of AMRAP of 3 power cleans, 6 push-ups, 9 air squats. We only do the bench press because that ends up taking a full hour in itself and Lady has to pick up a science poster.

After benching, head to the university. The weather is strange today: there're clouds in the sky!

To the library!

And to the library's basement! Where Lady picks up her poster.

Home again and ready for polite company. :p

Meet up with

the_verb for some much needed coffee.

Drop into Chopped for some salad. While

the_verb eats, I throw together a menu for Sunday's fancy dinner.

Then to TJ's to pick up a few items for that menu.

Then back to the Asian Market, because they have

SO. MUCH. GOYA. I pick up some guava paste and empanada dough, as well as some bags of yucca fries.

Then next door for bubbletea.

Matcha. It's a little bitter, but good.

the_verb attempts some double-unders with my low-quality jump rope.

...while I take pity on my poor plants and give them water.

We begin food prep for Sunday's dinner. Peppers....

Pork shoulder marinade...

Skirt steak marinade...

Take a break to harass the cats, but then we can't bring ourselves to disrupt this comfy scene.

Verify some recipes....

...and marinate some chicken.

the_verb shows Lady some hairstyles.

Then she vamooses and I check my list to see where I am. Oh! It's time to relax. But first -

I prepare an abundance of ice.

And prep some cold-brew coffee.

Then finally chill with an hour of Portal 2 - I've been replaying it for the developer's commentary.

As it gets closer to race time, I grow antsy and tackle the bathroom.

Much better.

Lady fills the camelpac - it's almost 6pm and still over 100 degrees.

Lucky red socks. :)

The 5k is right before sunset, but I mis-read where the start was going to be, so we ended up parking way far away and not having enough time to go back and get the camera. It's fully dark by the time we get back to the car.
