Nasally Distracting



We are still having lovely joyous cool weather. This is amazing and just feels RIGHT to me, it’s August and I’m wearing a jumper all the time, even wearing a hoodie when we go for a walk. Exactly how it should be. This just makes me so happy.

The last 2 days we have resumed our afternoon walk routine. Both times we had things we HAD to do, so we couldn’t not go for a walk, if only to the post office. And it takes us so long (comparitively) to get dressed and get our shoes on, that a trip to JUST the post office seems ridiculous. That’s what we get for living so close to it. Yesterday my hips tried to die on me halfway through the walk. I gave Jake the option of carrying me (which I know he wouldn’t do) or listen to me complain for the rest of the walk. So I had fun whinging as much and as overdramatically as I possibly could. But then the bone-on-bone got too distracting so I couldn’t even do that.

Today’s trip was just to the farmer’s market, which has moved so it is almost on the main road. Which we live on. So it is a tiny walk. Which makes me sad, because they have a little stall with fresh-made apple cider donuts and we used to treat ourselves to a donut every so often because we earned it from the walk. Now, it is not earned. Next time we go I think we should get one each though. We haven’t since the first week of the farmer’s market, so we’re kinda due. Today we spent $2 and got zucchini and squash-that-looks-like-zucchini-only-yellow and a tomato. Mmm, veggies.



(My outfit for going for a walk today. Jake distracted me right as I took the picture. I don’t know how, but I’m that talented I guess. But look! Stripes!)

I so love our new glasses. For the past almost-week, every evening milo has been so chocolatey it’s almost like drinking easter eggs. And yet, I use up less milo! Fantastic! (2 points if you can guess what I’m drinking right now)

My upper back, near between my shoulder blades, oh it hurts today. And I can’t fix it myself. I can reach it, but I can’t apply pressure.

Jake smells excessively like baby powder right now. It is nasally distracting.

Stripes! I want cooler weather! Ryn: Remember when I said I was pondering cracking an egg outside to see if the heat from outside cooks it? I was going to do that but it got to hot today.

your outfit is very stripey 🙂 Chris

I like how I finally get back on OD and your entry has pics. Like you are spoiling me with visuals. I’m so glad you have a non-wife-carrying husband too, in movies and such it seems like husbands carry their wives whenever and so easily. J has never carried me even when we went on a picnic and my feet got so cut up I sobbed as I walked. He’d much rather listen to me complain.

You guys are so cute together!

Those sound like interesting doughnuts! It’s been getting cooler here too…not quite cool enough for big jumpers, but it’s not too far away!

Yay for farmer’s markets! (I wonder if our local farmer’s market takes food stamps, it would be a great place to pick up our fresh veggies because the local store’s produce section is uber-gross!) RYN: It turned out to just be an orientation meeting, no word on the grant yet. Oh well, more steps in the right direction at least. 🙂

PS: When I get a back spasm in a spot like that I use a tall dining room chair, flip it around so the seat is away from me, lean backward over it so the top is right against whatever vertebrae needs popping, and stretch my arms up so my weight (hopefully) pops it. I keep one totally worn out mismatched chair around the house specifically for this purpose. Maybe that might help? 🙂

mass snc on how the weather feels so awesome and August end-of-summer-y. I can’t wait til the weather cools down so I can wear jeans again without feeling all hot and sticky and gah.

poor Sez hips, aww! maybe try some yoga to fix that and ease the stress when you walk? 😀 I looove zucchini, and that yellow zucchini (which I think they call summer squash). and tomatoes. <3
