The Sea Within

For three weeks, I have felt as though I were on a boat. Sometimes the water is calm and it isn't so bad. Sometimes, though, it is as though there are swells and waves crashing about and I can barely focus, or keep my canoe afloat I am so woozy.

This is the sickness I felt last summer, in Seattle. Interestingly enough, when I am moving - walking quickly, riding in a car, swimming in a pool - I do not feel it. It is as though my head can catch up with my body then. It is when I am still that my inside ocean springs to life.

From Off My Back

Saturday Adventure

Saturday was sweaty. R. had work filming a baseball game and I had to brave the crowds of the mall for pantyhose and a blazer (eck). Mutual sweat and Saturday angst lead, however, happily to a lunch at PK Noodles and an unplanned drive to Big Talbot, or, the land before time. Behold!

Peacin'

My last shift at Whole Foods. Sad but excited for the next thing - I've met so many awesome people and made so many great friends, I am going to miss them!

Japan

Such devastation. I can't even begin to imagine how it would feel to lose everything from old photos to bobby pins, parents and pets. Everything.

Bicycles

R and I were dropping clothes off at My Brother's Keeper yesterday and happened upon two bicycles - a Hawthorne and a Free Spirit. New tubes on the Free Spirit and we are good to go!

These Sound Good to Make

Averie’s Raw Vegan Chocolate Coconut Snow Balls
1.5 cups shredded coconut
3/4 c maple syrup (or agave to be technically raw)
3/4 c cocoa powder

Optional: 1/4 c coconut oil (I used it and encourage it!)
Optional: 1/4 c chia seeds (did not use it in today’s blend)

Maybe a treat to make when I am feeling better! Sick again with a stomach bug this time, no fun.
