Snapshot of Kid-Free Thursday

E's kindergarten ended last week for the Summer, and since we will be going to Singapore for pretty much the entire Summer, we decided to let the girls stay at Lolo and Lola's house in Long Island for the week, while I knocked out a bunch of medical appointments. I went to yoga today as usual, and as usual because I am suffering in class and want to think about anything else than my discomfort at the moment, my mind started wandering and so I decided I wanted to make a short post about today. I've also recently gotten into doing puzzles thanks to Shirin's influence, and with the delivery of a dedicated folding puzzle table I wanted to attempt my first 1,000 piece puzzle.

-----

Current Short-Term (hopefully) Health Problems: Slightly painful aching left big toe, pulled a muscle there about 2 weeks ago. Cracks all the time now. Heartburn, because I've had to taper off Omaprazole in anticipation for tomorrow's Endoscopy.

Long-Term Health Problems I Need to Address: High cholesterol, pre-diabetes (thanks to the medical appointments I had on Monday)

Breakfast: Overnight oats with chia seeds, blueberries, strawberries, and a touch of maple syrup

Morning Tea: Yorkshire tea with milk and sugar

Reading: False Confession Manhwa (features PTSD, which I find interesting)

Playing: Red Dead Redemption 2 (even though I haven't finished the DLC for KCD2 yet, but Henry is the best and I want to drag things out as long as I can)

Fiber Project: Knitting the Ridge Tank Top in Knitting for Olive Cotton Merino, but might switch to some other things for the Singapore trip

Puzzle: The New Yorker Bodega Cat by New York Puzzle Company 

Lunch: Going to met Julie to have Mul-Naengmyeon in Closter

It's nice to chill out without the kids in my own space, and feel like my own human again. But of course I miss them, and the house feels too quiet without them around.
