We made it again! Well done!

Noticed this week the ol’ seasonal depression is oozing in a bit, highlighted by a lack of appetite/not quite caring enough about myself to eat. (Likely not helped by election stress. So help me god, if my fellow white women betray me again…)

This morning I almost passed on the farmers market, kinda felt like nothing would be appealing. But the one functioning brain cell I had left said, “It’s sunny, perfect hoodie temps, and even if you don’t find a single thing you want to eat, you need fresh air and exercise.”

That brain cell was right. I parked at the far end of the lot, got in a good walk, probably the last cherry tomatoes of the season (freeze watch tonight) other salad goodies, jerk pork, some sausage rolls, and nice loaf of rye bread. (I did make myself a nice turkey-pastrami sandwich today with that bread – not to worry, I am eating, it’s just a bit hard to be arsed about it.)

And one of my favorite bakers had pumpkin pie bars. SO GOOD.

Oh, also got a jar of Moco Black Sauce – new vendor this weekend. Best way to describe it is that it’s like a thick and spicy worcestershire sauce. They had mild/medium/hot and I sampled the medium first, cause I’m white, but not that white. I bought the mild, because it turns out that maybe I am that white, LOL. But it’s tasty and I think could be an interesting cheese accompaniment. (Cheese tray holidays are coming, woohoo!!)

And the walk was good, and the fresh air was good, and being out of the house was good. It’s like going for a stupid walk for my stupid mental health was a good thing. Which also means I need to get back on my bullshit with my yoga, too.

Also got myself some pretty flowers to brighten up the room.

Jorge of the Jungle & the AwesomeSean continue to be awesome. Still battling Sean’s dermatitis, but we’ve got special food to see if it’s a food allergy, but it can take 4-6 weeks to see a difference and we’re only a week in. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that it does confirm a food allergy and we can transition him to a non-prescription limited ingredient food.

Big plans for the rest of the weekend are: remember to eat, do some yoga, and try not to think too much about the election. (I suspect I’ll hit 2 of the 3.)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
