First day back in the office since what feels like forever.  Also Day 1 of 6am to 4pm project support.  Had to find my badge.  Had to pack a lunch.  Had to rush to work between meetings.  Exhausted by the end of the day but made it!

03-09-26

After taking time off due to work and illness, back in the walking groove.  Feels great to move and eat fresh food.

Friday small group, that's different.

I brought Mujadara.

A little piece of baby broccoli.

Held for a long time.  Messed with for a bit. Tasted.

Abandoned.

No raw or cooked broccoli.  Zucchini in butter please!

If we leave it here it will shrivel up to a black mess and she will find it and bring it to us.

A judgemental expensive vacuum.  As if she wasn't the reason for the mess.  At least she isn't stuffing everything in her mouth anymore.

Reading about Larry in Seattle to a very busy girl.  She likes to turn the page whether I am done or not.

 I could not find my Bible and devotional anywhere.

I gave up and got out a different Bible and devotional.

Then I found it.  In a backpack I had taken to the coffee shop and never unpacked.

 I don't know why an octopus would be holding coffee, but I like it.  almost enough to walk down 3rd Avenue for a block.

02-17-26

 
I walked by this art awhile ago on my way home from work, then I coldn't remember where it was.  This guy looks like he would have a big headache.  I get it.

 There are a few extra people downtown today for the Superbowl parade.  Wow!

 A pet peeve is the barriers on top of bottles.  They are difficult to get off, they stand in the way between me and the good stuff.  grrrr!

02-08-26

 Superbowl!  Go hawks!

02-07-26

 Finally got done working at 5pm.

We headed to International District to try Taitung Chop Suey.  The oldest Chinese restuarant in Seattle (1935) and a hangout of Bruce Lee.

It was a hit, we'll be back.  The handwritten bill was a real throwback.

02-06-26

We had Poppy girl on a Friday instead of Thursday, and for an extended time.  We went to the Space Needle, to Mod Pizza, to the apartment to play, then we drove her home.  Can't think of a better way to wrap up a difficult and punk week!

 There is excitement in the air! Superbowl on Saturday... I liked how the Lime bike added to the photo composition.

02-02-26

 The joy of iced tea.

It's so funny that I never drank ice tea until a few years ago.  And now I really love it.  The tang, the refreshment, the variety of how inconsistent it is from place to place.

02-01-26

 Broccoli girl at Dough Zone today.  Not in the highchair, on Grandma's lap.
