"help me find a better way to go"

Day 1.

 

Took Eagerness to the dog park again today, which she seems to absolutely love (I suspect her love will only grow as temperatures become more, well, temperate). There was a dogwalker there she’d met once before and she was so excited to see them, she jumped all over them, which I think is a first for her. (not the jumping, the enthusiasm with such short acquaintance)  She and Abundance and I all went to Cat Rock yesterday, and she swam, and even managed to function really well hiking off leash (she runs in giant loops around is).  Her anxiety makes for good check-ins, at least.  Also, we started a nosework class yesterday, and her enthusiasm for the instructor (who also was the instructor for basic manners) was actually the best part.  

 

I’m currently listening to Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, Landline and The Wonder.  I tried to read a Mercedes Lackey book, but I think the maturation of my critical faculties/her writing a enormously transphobic story have soured me for her.  I just finished Stuck Landing, which was a romance novel with a biphobic lesbian as a main character who had to overcome her biphobia to be with the woman of her dreams. 

 

I made peach cobbler with the peaches Hips gave us. Sadly, I accidentally used the recipe for gross biscuits that taste like metal, so I skimmed the top layer off and am going to try again.  At least that's what I'm telling myself.  Next house, a ktichen with a window that can open, or some air flow or, if I'm dreaming big, central air.
 

Now, I stop stalling by trying to find the perfect quote to title this entry, motivate myself gym-wards, mostly by means of wanting to watch the next episode of Stitchers.  Then the grocery store, the farm share pickup, home to make dinner, and then maybe out again to finally see Atomic Blonde with Light and Abundance.  With some dishes and cross stitching somewhere in there.  It’s not exactly deep inner reflection, but I’ve sweated sunscreen into my eyes and I want to just start somewhere, anywhere, here, to convince myself to start posting again.
