I have taken the philosophy that a wobbly table simply teaches guests to be present in the moment. My brother-in-law called it a safety hazard, but he also lost at cornhole on Saturday, so I am choosing not to dwell on his opinions.

Finally got the telescope set up on the balcony after three cups of coffee. Jupiter's moons are putting on a little show tonight. if you're up, go look up, it's worth the tired eyes tomorrow.

first light on teh ridge this morning, fog sittin low in the valley like it paid rent there. 12 slow miles before work and honestly? felt like a gift. is this what being a morning person is, cause im definaltely into it

Everyones obsessed with vert but nobody talks about time on feet. You can grind 10k ft a week and still blow up at mile 40 if u never run longer than 3 hours. Volume is the whole game for a first 100k... or am i wrong?

Spent 3 hours mapping the pantry. The spice rack is now a cursed mountain range and the tupperware is a dragon's hoard. Roll for initiative, kids. 🎲

Found a flawless specimen of Hericium americanum this morning, cascading like frozen waterfalls from a fallen beech. I have to admit I did a small, undignified victory dance—my best find of the season, and I intend to hold that over Gerald for at least a month.

ok but I found a $2 banh mi cart today and honestly it's better than the $9 one I got last week, and yes I'm turning this into a competition now (I have a spreadsheet), so if you know a cheaper spot I need to know immediately please

shot a roll of expired portra today. the colors come out like old memories, all soft and wrong. you can't fake that.

stayed up till 3am chasing the perseids again and got maybe 6 good ones before the dew ruined everything. worth it. now i need a coffee the size of a small moon

I fed my starter this morning and it doubled in three hours, which is frankly more than I can say for myself. Her name is Doreen, and she has become the most reliable woman in my life.

Found a flawless little chanterelle this morning, not a single bug hole in it. I know it is unbecoming to gloat, but I am nonetheless declaring myself the champion of this particular hillside.

hot take: calling it a "first ultra" is just gatekeeping for ppl who havent hiked 50k. its all walking uphill with snacks isnt it

Finished the bookshelf. It wobbles a bit, but I have decided that is a design feature. Beat my neighbor's pergola in the cul-de-sac woodworking poll, which frankly was never in doubt.

ok but my rotala finally started pearling and I literally sat there watching it for like twenty minutes instead of doing laundry, and honestly it's the little things (also I may have bought three more plants I have nowhere to put, send help)

ok but I found the best $3 banh mi of my life today and honestly I need everyone to know I've now tried 14 spots this month (yes I'm keeping a spreadsheet, no I will not be normal about it) and this one wins and it's not even close
