West Seattle Garage Sale fun!

Poppy enjoyed sitting in the wagon and getting all kinds of goodies packed along side her.  The first stop, when she was in a very bad mood, was a ziplock back of free plastic animals.  The llama, panda bear, and moose were her favorites.

Then came books and Christmas puzzle oranments and cups and trucks and clothes and magnets and an airplane.

Fun day!

TGIF and the start of SIFF!  First film was Nuisance Bear out of Canada at the IMAX theater with Bruce, Xander, and Alison.  It was about Polar Bears encroaching on towns near Hudsons Bay.  Very cool footage, moving story, difficult to take a side.

This was my only photo for today.  Slow morning reading on the roof.  Really slow morning, staying home from the office to wallow in not feeling great.

This is a silly whimsical slow morning photo.  I have had a pile of costume props in my closet for ages.  Step 1 is photographing them, step 2 is asking AI to help me work them into potential Halloween costumes.

I did step 1 today, taking selfies on a timer.  The hat is the custume part.  I'm in my Zozofit suit, which measures me better than a scale every few weeks.  Ironing board in the background waiting for energy to de-wrinkle some tops.

Slow morning weird fun.

The first week in a LONG time where I could get some time off because I wasn't prepping for or in a testing phase of some sort at work.  I decided to take mornings off to be able to enjoy a slower pace without getting as behind as taking a full week off.

This morning I fasted and got a WHOOP blood draw.  Afterwards I visited a coffee shop I have been curious about.  The service was bad, the coffee was meh, but I enjoyed some time to read and liked the dandelion art on the wall.

Windermere Cup!  The UW men won again this year, this time with a tighter race against Great Britian.  Such great weather for such a fun day!
