Now, I know a good grandma probably wouldn’t let a baby crawl on a restaurant floor, but hey—my kids played in dirt and they survived! Oliver got some good exercise in, and he slept almost the entire way home, so I’ll call that a win.
Today also marked my first official day on my new health plan. I’ve learned quite a bit over the past week, especially after logging my meals for three “normal” days. Turns out, I’ve been seriously under-eating protein. The “normal days” part made me laugh, because anyone who knows me knows I rarely have one of those. Still, it’s good to see what my new normal will look like—more food, but the right kinds this time.
One major benefit of focusing on my health plan and working with a coach is that I have less time to wallow in political frustration. I’m still trying to keep up with the awful ICE news and the ongoing budget mess, but at least I’m channeling my energy into something positive. I’m actually glad the Democrats didn’t sign the budget—one can hope ICE funding dries up and sidelines them, though I doubt it. They’re probably still getting paid as “emergency workers.”
Still, it renews my faith in humankind to read that ICE is having trouble recruiting. Nice to know some people find that kind of work loathsome, no matter the paycheck.
This evening, I’m off to try a new workout routine. I hope you all had a good day and that you’re finding bits of joy wherever you can. My joy today was simple—spending time in the car with my daughter, talking, laughing, and sharing the road together.
