 “Finished Muji Notebook” Cedar Park, 2025

I finally filled up my little A6-sized Muji notebook that I bought years ago! I’d just finished another one I’d been using for my morning pages, so I grabbed the Muji next – turns out it only had a few pages left. A couple of days later, done! That makes two notebooks finished (and out of my life) in one week. I still have a few more blank ones waiting for their turn, but I’m definitely making progress on my notebook decluttering mission!

 “Evening Walk” Cedar Park, 2025

One of the little routines Mariko and I really enjoyed in Mexico City was taking a walk after dinner. We’d stroll back to our Airbnb after eating out, which felt like the perfect way to end the evening. It gave us a bit of exercise and helped with digestion, too. I even listened to a LifeKit episode that listed all the benefits of after-meal walks, so it has to be good for us, right? 😁

 “Exercise Journal” Cedar Park, 2025

My exercise journal is really starting to fill up! I snapped this photo because we’re heading out on a little vacation, and I don’t want to bring the journal along. This way I’ll still know what exercises I should be doing. (I like to switch things up and alternate a few of them.)

 “Blood Work” Cedar Park, 2025

This afternoon I went to the lab to get my blood drawn. My dermatologist ordered the test to see if it might reveal any clues about the cause of my eczema.

I was a little nervous because I’m pretty squeamish when it comes to things like this, but it actually went really well. The person who drew my blood found a vein on my arm that wasn’t in that super sensitive spot near the inside of the elbow, which made the whole process a lot easier. It barely hurt at all!

Now we just wait and see if the results offer any helpful insights.
