Runs for Cookies: Friday Night time Pictures #133

It is a horrible image of Jerry, however he was expressing his pleasure over the manicure I gave him. He has a horrible behavior of biting his nails and it drives me loopy. Since we have been engaged on habits (each good and dangerous), I instructed that I give him a manicure–which was an instance within the Atomic Habits book–to see if it could preserve him from biting his nails. I ought to have taken a earlier than and after image, as a result of his nails are wanting nice now! (I put a transparent matte polish on them.) Now I am simply hoping that he would not decide on the polish and destroy his nails.

Once I get completed with my run every morning, I sit down with a cup of tea and work on the NY Instances puzzles (Wordle and Connections) as a form of “reward”. The cats have gotten within the behavior of operating over to say my lap the second I sit down. I can by no means simply sit with out cats leaping on my lap. Chick misplaced this race, hahaha.

I had the home to myself one evening and it was an ideal fall day–it put me within the temper to look at a scary film. So, I popped a few of the popcorn I purchased on the Jap Market in Detroit. I acquired cozy with my new favourite blanket and watched half of a film earlier than the youngsters got here house and the ambiance modified instantly from cozy, heat, and quiet to vivid and loud. I invited them to look at it with me, however apparently watching B-horror films along with your mother is not cool 😉

The next image would not present a lot, so I am going to need to take a greater image later of precisely what I did. However, I am fairly happy with this little challenge! I had been wanting a specific muslin blanket for about two years, however it’s costly and I simply did not really feel proper spending the cash on it. After paying off the home, although, I made a decision to get one. I purchased an “imperfect” one–meaning it has a minor defect somewhere–because it was rather a lot cheaper. Additionally, I knew that the pets can be on it and it could get a defect actually rapidly anyway!

The blankets are all outsized, and the queen is the equal of a king. I virtually purchased a double in order that it could match out queen measurement mattress, however then I had an thought. I purchased a king measurement (which is 120×120) after which I (very, very rigorously) minimize it into items. From these, I used to be capable of make two giant throw blankets (60×80) and EIGHT pillowcases (for traditional measurement pillows)! Beneath is without doubt one of the pillow instances (inside out).

We had just a few wet days and I keep in mind Estelle actually liking my gentle remedy lamp within the winter. I acquired it out for her and instantly, she settled herself in entrance of it. I believe it is so humorous that she’s into it!

That is one other challenge I simply began late final evening. I will not inform what it will be but, as a result of I don’t know how it should look, however I am going to hopefully have it completed quickly

My lunch as we speak made me consider elementary faculty. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich with the crusts minimize off and an apple with out the pores and skin. I by no means peel apples, however it sounded good today–and it was scrumptious.

And eventually, this can be a graph of my morning runs–today marks a 50-day streak. I am nonetheless solely operating one block (or two, more often than not, as a result of it is solely a distinction of a tenth of a mile). It solely takes 5 minutes and I really like beginning my day on such a constructive be aware. It is the very first thing I do within the morning. Even after I do not feel prefer it, I remind myself that I will be completed in 5 minutes–there is NO purpose not to do this!

And that is all I’ve acquired. Tonight, Jerry and I are literally going out on an actual date–it’s been a really very long time since we have completed that. Our buddy Paul is taking part in a gig and we will go watch his set. I am wanting ahead to it!
