Bizzy as a Bee, love it and don't love it

BIKE COMMUTE all days, just the two miles

Long days at work, I'm happy with that. Lots of mouse work, titering, etc, and that's what I love. But I'm not home with Sugar, not getting stuff done at the house, and lost some focus.

Not much else to day, just little things.

Was in lab 515am Friday to start a time course, I came home around 8am (when free parking ended) to tend and walk the dog. I found a monarch on my little deck table, on the pot that I let chrysalis butterflies eclose on! I don't think he's one of mine? But funny how he ended up where most of mine hatch. It was chilly out and he looked weak, so I brought him inside. Build up a little towel nest under the cabinets. As of Saturday, he still couldn't fly but I didn't get home until 430pm so that wasn't much time outside. As of Sunday (today) it's warm out but I'm at lab again, when I get home I'll put him out for another chance. A few more warm days this week for him. Today I did put a sugar-solutioned scrubbie in a bowl, he did drink on that but soon enough back up hanging on a towel.

Found a big fat caterpillar Saturday! So I have 2 chrysalis and 2 cats in the house. Ooooh it's gonna be cold for them.

Last night was craving ginger again and I was dehydrated from being in the mouse house so much. Off to Walmart for ginger ale, and a few other 2L that I don't want to be drinking. I drank the entire ginger ale here at lab in just 3 hours!? What's this crave? The ginger? Or the sweet? Or the fizzy?

Eating too much butternut and it has my gut a bit sore. Bloated and heavy. But dad's butternut only comes once a year. But I don't have to eat so much at once, 200-300g is normal for other people but not me.

Used up my protein powder last night, in a M, all gone and no more.

Driving home from Walmart last night I was feeling down, SO just ran a harvest moon race, LA leaving for Michigan trip, haven't heard much at all from training friends. Feeling down and alone. Then Tool comes on the radio, I text SO to tell him (I knew he might be driving) and a few secs later he calls to tell me. Haha, that made me feel better. That we both listened to the song together.

I'm one week into my "One year to H100" and already fell back into M habit. "but it's less" I think. And I think I need to rename the blerch into Belerian. Better fit.

"Recovery" is going still. No more bone pain like earlier this week. But I'm going nuts. Everyone else enjoying the fall weather, crisp and cool, yet so out of reach. And no biking yet either. Ugh.
