Tumblestone

By Lucy Nothing much of note happened Friday. I finally brought my carb count up to the point that I could eat pasta, so I made myself some. I was feeling a little worse off Keto, but I wasn’t putting any weight on so I’m happy for that! I finally unwrapped my finger to look…
Blood On The Deck

By Lucy I haven’t been sleeping well. It’s a combination of things – the heat hasn’t been too bad, although I can’t open the window at night because the neighbors have been up partying. The guy above me usually practices his guitar at 3 or 4 in the afternoon, but lately he’s been practicing at…
Walking Sticks

By Lucy There was always a risk gift-receivers might read my blog, so I can’t post about gifts before I have given them! Nonetheless, I wanted to write about this one, so I’m writing it as I work on it and I’ll post it after he’s received it. The Vagabond has this mental image of…
Dilemma

By Lucy People keep asking me, why New Zealand? I struggle to answer the question because it’s a long story, but also because it’s very nerdy. It started with Bionicles. Yes, really. I loved, loved Bionicles. The toys were satisfying to build, they interacted with Lego, and they had a lore that was far deeper…
The Next Chapter!

By Lucy I couldn’t imagine eating, but eating is necessary. I grabbed a coffee from Timmies on the way home, changed, and ate a few spoonful’s of yogurt. I was operating on maybe 4 hours of sleep, but I felt wide awake. Grabbed the remainder of the cheesecake, which he had me take, and started…
Call Me When You’re Sober

By Lucy Concussions are fun! Got two catch ups here, a photo I missed from last week, and a video I meant to include with the Pictured Rocks pictures. After we got inside and unpacked, the exhaustion hit me. Or maybe it was the hangover. Or the possible concussion. “Go have a nap, I’ll cook…
The Circle Tour Part 2

By Lucy I felt pretty good when I woke up Saturday. This vacation was getting good and vacation-y, we’d had a good drive scenic drive the day before, and an excellent evening at the bar. The Vagabond was in the shower, but when he got out he just grabbed an apple and went outside without…
The Circle Tour Part 1

By Lucy Lake Superior, the largest lake in the world, really more of an freshwater sea. 550 klicks wide, 250 clicks across, third largest freshwater lake by volume, holding 10% of the world’s surface freshwater. If you combined the water volume of the four other great lakes, it still wouldn’t hit the volume of this…
Commitment

By Lucy Monday was time to get organized. I had to break in my new shoes. New leather shoes always feel a little tight, don’t worry that you bought the wrong size. Put them on and go for a walk, they’ll quickly loosen up as they start to mold to your feet. I had to…
Learning To Fly

By Lucy I was sore Thursday. Well, a little sore. The Vagabond joked my legs must be burning, but they actually weren’t that bad. I’ve crossed some sort of threshold in my physical fitness. Now that I’ve got the Keto diet more or less down, I actually feel pretty good. Usually I drink chamomile tea…
