@Louve Rose apparently! But I don't feel it yet :D
@Froud I hope to age healthy! Let's see, this is not a good start...
@TopNotch yes! Also my husband and I have a plan that, when we get so old that we can't enjoy life, we'll just jump out of it. Easy to say now, I know...
@OJJJEM no such aspirations here, I'm content with quietly disappearing :happy:

Today was a very rainy day, which ofc didn't make work on the roof possible. Which was good, because when the guy came to install the new gutters and other metal pieces they decided that it's not the right time to do that now because first other things need to be finished. Oh well! Office work was nice and quiet, with some good things achieved.

Yes so today I read the whole Born to Run 2 and now I'm wearing my old vibram five fingers and I had forgotten how comfy they are! I'm not sure I should start the 90 days training program from the book though at the same time as the programs I'm currently doing. I might have to wait until next month, and this month just incorporate the early stages. Let's see.

Have a wonderful evening Bees!

The local butchery created some vegan Cevapcici for me (they know I'm vegan because they did the catering at our wedding, and I gave them several vegan recipes to make). I'm amazed and they were very tasty.

Have a lovely evening Bees!

According to the training plan I should have gone for another 40 minutes run today, but my calves were too sore so I decided to skip it. I'd better take it slow than injure myself!

Have a great evening Bees!
:vibes:
 
Thanks Bees! My calves are good again, ready for tomorrow's run, hoping I'll find the time for it.

A good day! I went to see the orthopedic again and had a MRT, which showed an issue in my vertebrae. I have no idea what the English words for the issue are, so let's just say I need to wear a collar in the night and some contraption to help with posture. Let's see.

Tomorrow is office day! And hopefully I'll finally find pillows.

Have a great evening Bees!

:hooray:
 
Soooo, no pillows to be had in any of the sizes I want, but as the store also sells the filling "loose", I bought two bags of it and I'll simply change the filling of the current pillows. Seriously!

A quiet day. Well no, work was busy, but it felt quiet because I'm lacking motivation. I really think the amount of energy I feel is directly related to the amount of chocolate and cookies I eat. The more sweets, the less energy. At least, when two weeks ago I was eating salads for lunch and not having any sweets I was feeling full of energy. But maybe it's the moon, or the weather, or who knows.

Salad with sweet potatoes and tempeh tonight! That's a really delicious recipe.

Thanks @OJJJEM ! All my cookies involve chocolate... Maybe I should try some without!

@PetiteSheWolf for this recipe it's marinated in soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and smoked paprika, and then baked for 15 minutes.

I missed yesterday again! We finished the floor at 10pm and I had no will left for the internet.

Today we did a lot of good work and installed all the solar panels on the small roof! Yay!

YOU SPEAK BLASPHEMY!!! Chocolate's really easy to make... Cacao powder, cacao butter, and maple syrup are the only ingredients you need if you're not tempering it. Test the maple syrup... If it's a sugar your body can handle in small quantities, message me. I'll give you the recipe for making your own chocolates.
 
@OJJJEM tbh I don't think I have time to make my own chocolate... I already make a lot of stuff from scratch! But maybe I'll give it a go during vacation. If you could share your recipe, that would be great, thanks!!

@Nanna Io agree! It's all in the marinade, imo.

Today was a full day! But we finished connecting the solar panels and installed all the tiles on that side of the roof! :worried:
