Good morning!



I apparently take way too long to snap a photo of my temp because it gives up on me. But there was a temp, promise! I'm not a zombie.



Four fourty-four: kiss a wall and make a wish.



Grumpy cat is grumpy.



My tea for the morning is earl grey creme.



Steal a chocolate chip muffin for breakfast.



Have my tea and muffin while I internet.



Then I let the cats in to wake up Lady.



Put on some lifting/biking clothes.



Lady calculates her weights for this workout. If this seems redundant from last Sat, it is - we normally go Saturday mornings, but couldn't drag ourselves out of bed in time this weekend.



Warm up.



More warming up.



Same as last week: benching and deadlifting. No photos of bench because well. Spotters.



Home again and: Real breakfast. Coconut fudge and yogurt with granola and berries. Also internet.



Check the bikes. My front tire keeps deflating slowly at night. IDK why.



Ready to go!



On our way.



To the community garden!



Which is full of very enthusiastic plants. These are, unfortunately, not ours. But I do admire the sunflowers.




Our much smaller garden.



We harvest some tomatoes.




And discover that okra is in fact, okra-ing. I am so excited about okra, you have no idea.



Next we bike to the farmer's market.




Go around the side to avoid the crowds, and grab our meat share.



Kona greets us when we get home.




Wow, all of that before 9am.



I have a muffin for fortification.



Lady harasses the other cat.




Off biking again.



...but not far. Just Trader Joe's.



Or actually, the coffee shop next to TJ's. We meet up with Lora and work on our current novels. And I am SO CLOSE TO BEING DONE OMG.



the_verb drops by with her little bebe.



Then it's home again, where we make hot dogs, since our meat share included hot dogs.



I start the long and arduous process of making coconut butter to make another batch of coconut fudge. Basically, coconut flakes + blender + lots of time = coconut butter.






We put sauerkraut on the dogs and it is DELICIOUS. Oh yeah, and I finally changed out of my biking/lifting uniform.



Lady adds soaked quinoa to the chicken bucket.



We head out, but have to jiggle the battery in the car first to get it started.



We visit the chickens.




I dump ice into their waterer to help them stay cool.



The ladies freaking love melon.



We put ice inside the coop as well, in a futile attempt to help cool it off.



Lady sprays the roof of the coop, again to help cool it off. I think it's only 100 today, but still pretty hot for chickens.



Then onwards!







The pharmacy makes us wait 15min, so we idly wander around the back of the store.



Home again. For the rest of the (hot) afternoon, we hope.



Lady goes for a nap. I slice meats.



Add all sorts of seasonings to the meats. They will eventually become jerky, but first they must marinate overnight.



A Lora appears! She harasses Kona, then goes to use our pool.



I get back to working on the coconut butter. On the left: flakes. On the right: butter.



Then I shower, because I have a fine layer of salt all over my skin. Ick.



I almost forget to take an OPK. Still negative.



Take a nap because NAP.



Wake up starving. Have a sort-of lunch.



Then join Lady in the kitchen as we continue to do kitcheny things.



A wild Lora appears! She steals a mango.



I break out the small amount of wine we have left to help with the last few kitchen tasks.



Like turning cauliflower into rice.



And then rice into coconut rice.




And coconut butter & strawberries into fudge.



And zucchinis into



Mama ghanouj.



Then we clean up the kitchen.



And get going.



...even though we just made all the food.






We find the dollar theatre and settle in to watch the new Muppets movie. Let's just say: I'm very glad we didn't pay full price to watch it. :/




Home again! Feed the sharks cats.



Update HabitRPG.



Brush my teeth and go to bed. Night!
