My local roller skating group had our third annual Halloween get together last night. I was originally planning to go as Sailor Moon, but had some costume failures and ultimately decided it wasn't safe to skate in. Ended up using an old llama mascot costume I inherited from an old job, and have no real reason to be hanging onto, aside from the fact that...

I've never personally shot with then but these make me want to...I feel like when I look at a Polaroid it's almost like looking at a memory,the hazy look truly makes it feel like a moment captured in time

have still your polaroids on my wall. See them everyday.

On the road again 🚙🏕️

I was supposed to be on a 6 week long backpacking trip starting last week. Health stuff hasn’t really allowed me to be in a place to do that so deferred the longer time off from work to hopefully next year. Still taking a couple weeks at least though for a road trip. Maybe not the kind of trip I was hoping for - but...

Wonderful photos... and beautiful you. I hope that the health issues allow more expansive travels soon.

Beautiful place!

Ehhhhh 😅

I've been putting this health update off but - despite the initial good news I got a few weeks ago, biopsy results were actually not great. Looks like my stomach lining is severely - potentially permanently? - damaged, so that's fun. I am looking at long term management vs treatment afterall. This is honestly still a better answer than I could have gotten, but I'm...

Oh that has to be tough. I always feel so lucky to live in AU whenever i read stories like this. Just can’t imagine that level of expense when falling Ill especially for an ongoing condition.

Again ... best wishes!

Smaller (but very good) health update

80

Still waiting on biopsy results, but otherwise all the news from my medical procedures this week is good. I have a pretty severe infection in my stomach lining, but it's extremely treatable. Already on new meds and a different restricted diet (though less restrictive than what I've been doing for the last two months) and should be fully back to normal within a month or...

So happy for you that it’s not a serious diagnosis and that there is a plan. Frustrating when there’s a problem and they find “nothing wrong”. Stay strong💪🏻. You look amazing😍
samihain:
I'm so happy you got some answers and that they are less scary than what they originally suspected. ❤️

Mini life update

99

This week and next I finally have a bunch of diagnostic procedures and hopefully can get better, actionable info for the health issues I've been juggling since January.

One of my doctors put me on a restricted FODMAP diet a couple months ago which thankfully has already made a big difference. I was on a running hiatus for a while, but as evidenced by several...

Summertime questionnaire 🌼

170

@kiley tagged me in the summer questionnaire so I had to do it 😌.

#1 Your favorite summer activities?

It gets 100-100F here during the summer months, so anything in the shade/water is best. Need to get out paddleboarding soon! Will still be trying to get hikes in early before the heat though.

#2 3 Things you hate about summer?

Nothing I really hate, but

Happy Goodbye NY anniversary

85

Ten years ago today I finished packing up my car, left New York, and never looked back. The road trip along the way and subsequent move to San Diego changed my life in ways I hoped for, and ways I never expected. A lot of people told me “No.” I’d had a recent heartbreak and a lot of weird trauma around the end of that...

gentlemanghost:
This is an amazing blog post and a very inspiring reflection. It's funny, my big exodus in life was to NY, which became the setting for a similar set of challenges and accomplishments in my life. In your posts, you always seem so at home in the Western US, it's interesting and motivating to hear some of the back story of how you ended up out there (I had no idea you were a fellow NYer). I hope you continue to find as much fulfillment and adventure in the next decade as you have in the ten year since you left the East Coast!
nebula:
@gentlemanghost I feel very lucky to have a lot of friends and family in NY still - it's a great place to be able to visit more easily, but out West feels like home and NY never did for me. But I have plenty of friends who NY is definitely home for, and I'm glad to hear it's been good for you! I hope good things keep coming for you as well 🙂 thank you!
