Snow weekend is sourdough weekend. (This will be 4 loaves bc I’m going to do Weird Shit with 2)
The beginnings of two batches of sourdough bread. One in a blue ceramic mixing bowl, one in a white plastic mixing bowl.

The sun showed up today.
An empty cornfield in January. The sun is setting. There are power lines overhead and a county road in the foreground. The image is quintessentially Ohio.

Some days i go to the gym just because i want to hang out with Leo.
A sad and forlorn looking great dane puppy looks out of a garage door toward the outside world where all the leaves he wants to chase are.

Archimedes the cat hopes so, because it’s something *she* would absolutely do.

3 events, 3 pr’s.
Managed to tie for 8th place with only 2 swimmers on our team. Not Too Bad.

Extremely excellent news (for my need to make ridiculous things when I don’t have time for that).
A brown and white marbled ceramic yarn bowl. The person holding it is wearing a heat resistant glove, as it is fresh out of a 300 plus degree kiln.

Survived the first firing (aka: first Christmas market of the year is in a week so I’m doing half-assed math and combining clays with different shrinkage rates)

Mornings with Archimedes: she will steal your pillow for the fake sunny spot.
A tabby cat lays on her human’s pillow, basking in the artificial sunlight of a sunrise alarm clock. It is 5:27am, medicine and snack time is at 5:30. The pillow belongs to her now.

Ran a half marathon this morning (for the first time since the fall of 2023, somehow), didn’t die, would do this race again. Not looking forward to being at the airport at 4am.

Thursday morning run: the one that sometimes needs to be done entirely before the sun comes up.
A dark neighborhood street. There’s a mailbox on the left, and a hill that will break your soul ahead.

Sometimes I start the second sock before I finish the first, for added chaos.

Managed to successfully not die while adding a fly event at this meet.
The end of warm ups at a Grown Up Swimming meet. There’s only a few people left in the water. The sky is threatening to rain once again.

Sometimes Monday starts with a run up to Miami County. (The air is soup. This could have been a swim)
