Good morning from Edgar and I

He says "don't do anything I wouldn't do" (he gets into trouble the most)

Good morning from Freddy and I.

Well, I guess I might have another cat, lol.

I wouldn't get my dishes done without Bo Burnhams album Inside, but it's hard to see when I'm sobbing.

Photos from my Tuesday therapy hike. Revisiting a space that's familiar in a strange seasonal instar somewhere between spring and winter.

Given the choice, Edgar chooses potato chips over cheetos today. He's a rehomed baby and over 2 years old now. He's well trained and knows his name.
My boys get spoiled more the older they get. He's gone from a fight filled runt to a quiet gentleman who only wants what you're eating.

If I don't finish my breakfast Freddy doesn't hesitate. He loves overnight oats. Volume up for tongue sounds.

Can't even see the lake today.
Getting back into daily walking, yesterday we did 4 miles in the weight vest today we did just 1.5, tomorrow is my regular hiking day though and then I got a say of farm work after that so being gentle is in order. #hike #walk #photography #fitness

Freddy resting in between sets. He's trying to get big too. (He's gotten so big so fast already 😅) #cat

Gordon watches me cook and has to inspect every ingredient. He doesn't want to eat anything, he's just curious or checking quality or something 🤔

Did about 4 miles of walking in the weight vest this morning, hit shoulders in the afternoon, and some deadlifts while dinner was cooking. Spending the evening crawling in rats and watching south park and eating mandarins.

I just saw a fucking golden eagle. I have no words to adequately describe how incredible that was.

I've been making my breakfasts ahead of time lately. Just simply having it ready takes the hesitation and procrastination out of the equation. I'm consistently hitting my macros again, and all I do is fill one of these with milk and put it in the fridge before bed.

Couple of pics from Tuesday.
I make my therapists meet me at a trail each week and do back to back appointments for a total of 2 hours of hiking.
