Kid thing. Being able to kick them both outside. No secrets here: Sutton is 3 now so she and Wells (and Mav) can go out by themselves and chase each other around. All three of them are working on digging a hole. Praise the Lord for independence while I make dinner.
Food thing. Speaking of dinner, I am struggling here. I keep skipping Dinnerly orders because I'm not going to do it anymore (too expensive) and I look at the recipes but I don't have the desire to make new things. (You know how some people fall into ruts in the late fall or in January? I'm like that in the spring.) I haven't actually done a Dinnerly order since fall so I need to cancel it for good. I really just rotate the same 5-7 dinners and mostly it's Mexican food. Though, last night it was a sheet pan and Monday it was pancakes because at least both kids will eat pancakes.
Health thing. I've been completely 110% red-pilled when it comes to health in the last few months, even going down the rabbit hole of trying to find a holistic vet for when we move.
But I started taking schisandra maybe two months ago. I don't know that it helps but it's not hurting, that's for sure. I am pretty much anti-SSRI at this point (and I also don't think that people who haven't tried an SSRI get a weighted opinion on them :), but I think finding some natural remedies for stress and anxiety is good for everyone.
Listening. Totally in a listening rut, which is unusual for me. I'd say what I've spent the most time listening to in the last month is Alex Clark's podcast Cultural Apothecary (I hate that word). I even tried some Crime Junkie again over the weekend because I want to get lost in storytelling but that didn't do it. Any recommendations?
Watching. Finished Reacher. There's 3 seasons out there if you need something to binge on Prime. Still watching The Pitt and still dragging on with The White Lotus. We're also finishing up season 2 of American Rust. It's a great show and very moody and kind of depressing. That's what I like I guess.
But, I'm rewatching Better Call Saul, as I tend to do each spring. It's so brilliant. I'll probably watch Breaking Bad next. I don't know what your comfort TV is, but this is mine.
Reading. Ugh. I can't do it. I'm in SUCH a rut. I've gotten 5 library books in the past 2 weeks and I've not gotten past the second chapter in any of them.
I did listen to Blind Spots by Marty Makary and it's worth your time, for sure. The chapter on peanut allergies explains a lot.
