random things that i've written on my calendar this month

so being surprised by my brother coming home early was both happy and threw an entire wrench in my monthly plans. thinking that he was coming in on the 5th and leaving the 26th meant i had lots of weekends to spend with him. what happened in reality is much different.
things i did do this past month:

• weird old people yoga with charlie
• russian dinner
• bowenwork/walk with mom
• fitbit!!! 
• oil change
• redhook tour with jake and erik
• fancy dinner (which was previously intensely discussed here) 
• amy reminded me: "be gentle with yourself"
• i missed the shoot em up party... 
• mom, dad, and jake went to ny for a few days
• i tried to make peace with april. but also expressed my hopes that he does NOT rush into anything. 
• breakfast with mom and jake. dad came home for lunch. i ended up walking my old road, finding dead baby turtles and cutting up my feet from not wanting to wear shoes for 3 ish miles.. 
• girls night with stacy and kathy. watched one day. i'm not sure if i'm angry about that or not.. 
• i ordered a rain jacket. 
• re-planted one of the gardens
• started scraping the house
• contemplated signing up for the redhook race series... maybe not. 
• erik started cutting down dead parts of the apple tree
• we got new plants: i got purple sage, voodoo, tiny purple flowers and alyssum. erik got magnolia and hydrangeas. i planted my seeds which i'm obsessed with: lavender, cosmos, red velvet and blue bachelor buttons? 
• i called the pd to find out about carrying a taser. apparently as long as you can buy it without a permit, you can carry it however you want. excellent. that being said i almost tazed a dog for being mean. (old and mean. and semi chasing me.) 
• oh i had lunch and a bike ride with shannon. 
• and i started jillian michaels ripped in 30 again. let's see if i make it to week two this time..
