TIL!

It was delicious!

Thank you! This pastry class gave him some much-needed confidence.

Brazo de Mercedes is lemon custard wrapped in soft meringue. Not easy to make, and it didn’t come out perfectly, but it was delicious! Incredibly proud of him - he is taking a pastry class at school, and this is the result of his hard work.

Haven’t decided on the holiday plans yet, but my husband and I always go for a weekend getaway in the mountain town of Estes Park in Colorado, USA in early January.

We rent a cabin with a hot tub, eat at nice restaurants, and get couples massages. The town is quiet and sleepy after the holiday rush, but all the nice little shops are still open. It’s like our own Winter Wonderland.

And there is something magical about sitting in the hot tub looking at the stars while snow is all around you. We save up all year for this trip, and it’s totally worth it.

It really depends, I try to listen to my body and think of whether I’ve had enough water and food and sleep, then fixing the issue accordingly by either hydrating, eating, or taking a short nap (or doing yoga nidra).

If none of those are the issue or if the nap is not possible, I will try some caffeine (coffee in the morning, cacao in the afternoon).

And if I have a chance, I will listen to some brainwave music that stimulates beta waves in the brain for concentration.

Finally, meditation helps me. It can be a nice pick-me-up and an opportunity to recalibrate and reset.

Thank you for making this post, it reminded me that I didn’t knit all week, and now I’m motivated to go do that.

Morning, everyone! It’s a beautiful day! I will not drink with you today.

Pro-forced birth.

What am I not doing today, you ask? Why, drinking, of course!

I shall stay sober today with you all!

Thank you for your concern, we are AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I got this off Instagram - it was not explained why the raccoon was shaved, but it showed him growing the fur back in later videos.

I will not drink with you on this fine Sunday!

Love this - should also include a bat!

Genuinely not my intent… but I do want one of their bat houses cause I’m obsessed with bats. There are plenty of DIY bat house plans online for people who want to make one, I’m just not that crafty.

Morning! I will not drink with you today! Got to watch the sunrise over the Sangre de Cristo mountains while enjoying my coffee this morning.

It’s by a company that makes bat houses, aka bat bed and breakfast.

To make this clear, this is diets of different bats, aka insectivores, fruit bats, etc.

Please don’t consider this an approval of his chonkiness - he is at “fat camp,” which is the obviously right thing to do. Don’t overfeed your pets, people!
