Two weekends ago, I stayed over my aunt Nancy and uncle David's house, and my aunt and I went to her yoga class on Saturday morning. The night before, we had a really delicious "beyond burgers" dinner. And then the next morning, we had a tasty, quick breakfast before yoga -- homemade bread and frothy… Continue reading January: Yoga, Gigantic Gemstones, & a Ghost Tour!

Wedding in Dominican Republic! (part 2)
After the wedding on Saturday, the following day a bunch of us took a three-hour bus ride to Punta Cana. We stayed at a resort until Wednesday. The whole place was such a dream!

It was great to see my parents over the weekend. Dad and I took Mom out for a walk. She still has a lot of energy when it comes to walking.

Visit with Mom
Last weekend, I went to NY to visit my parents. It was really nice to see my Mom. I have found myself to be extremely tired following visits with Mom. I realize how emotionally exhausting it is to see her, not completely in a bad way, in some ways good, but overall very overwhelming. My… Continue reading Visit with Mom

THE PRELUDE: A few weeks beforehand, I was feeling extremely overwhelmed. I called my sister having a panic attack, because my vet appointment for my cat, Venus,… Continue reading Beach family vacation (OG21)
