Let’s explore spring! I love these grape hyacinth flowers. They are everywhere.

Last Sunday when I woke up my back was worse than usual. I insisted on doing the scheduled 2.5 mile “run” on the treadmill, figuring it would loosen things up, but it actually made my back worse, and I was in tears. We canceled our archery lesson again. They must think we’re assholes! These back problems though, you can’t predict what’s going to set them off.

I’ve been doing the back exercises from this book for the last week (mostly) every night, and they have helped tremendously. I haven’t had any major back pain for the last couple of days. Phew.

Sunday though…I just laid on the couch, alternating heating and icing, and amused myself with “There’s Something About Mary”…

…and “Baby Doll”, one of my all-time favorites. Ohhh Mr. Vacarro, you make me feel kind of hysterical.

These are in our front and back yard. I don’t know what they are, but they are bright and beautiful.

Still holding steady at a half a cup of REAL coffee in the morning, plus maybe a cup of decaf in the afternoon. I’m tossing around the idea of giving up that half a cup when April starts, but then the other part of me says, you’re going to HAVE to give it up when you’re pregnant, why not enjoy it now? Because I do enjoy it, man oh man I do.

“Peewee’s Big Holiday” (2016) was weird yet charming and a lot better than either one of us expected it to be. Recommended!

In the front yard.

The weather forecast for this week shows a lot of suns, with temperatures increasing up to 71 by Friday! Wow!

I am immersed into Season 8 of my favorite reality show of all time, “RuPaul’s Drag Race”. Here is Kim Chi werking some feathers while on roller skates. Into it!

Josh told me that this past weekend was the last weekend for cross country skiing, and of course we didn’t get around to it. DARN IT! He has decided that in place of forcing me to go cross country skiing with him, I have to participate in a “grueling mountain hike” of some sort instead. He wants us to hike somewhere around Mount Rainier this weekend. WELL OKAY.

I can’t really complain, can I? I mean, I don’t have to ski, I just have to walk. Up and down a mountain. How hard could it be? (snicker)

What’s left of the magnolia tree is blooming beautifully, but I wonder how many of the open blooms we will get to enjoy before the wind blows them away?

Is it time to rake up the fall leaves? Is it time to take off my snow tires?

Beggars.

I love this pale yellow hyacinth in the front yard.

C’est moi, feeeeeling that green eyeshadow again.

Speaking of feeeeelings, I have a lot of them for Gene Wilder, and seeing this interview with old Gene Wilder from 2013 made me a little verklempt.

On Friday after work the weather was so gorgeous, I took the girls to the dog park and we stayed for about an hour.

The sunshine replenished my lackluster serotonin levels beautifully.

Bear Cub avoiding the camera. Tale as old as tiiiiiime…

Saturday morning we did something that neither one of us had ever done before: we caucused! For Bernie Sanders! It was noisy and chaotic and at one point Josh got a little claustrophobic (I gave him one of my Rescue Remedy lozenges), but we were both glad that we did it. Bernie won the democratic caucus by a whopping 72.7%! Go Bernie.

I am tentatively training for a 4.5 mile trail run next month (that I haven’t registered for), and Josh is training for the Rock and Roll Marathon in June (that he hasn’t registered for). After the caucus on Saturday we ran 4 miles in the forest together and then I drove back home with the pets while he went on and ran 20 miles, total. Gross!

It was a beautiful day.

I was more concerned about my feet than my back, but I applied ice after the run and did some calf stretching and surprise! No pain yesterday.

I’m pretty sure we haven’t been to church since last Easter. We Yelped a church near our house and went for the early Easter Sunday service yesterday and both, surprisingly, enjoyed it.

Then we came back home, snarfed cream cheese danishes and listened to “American Beauty”.

Josh completed something like 5 hours of continuing education while I worked on Corinne’s cat painting number one and watched an interesting documentary called “The Man Whose Mind Exploded”.

Then later on it was time to pull on the caftan, apply Urban Decay’s “graffiti” eyeshadow and don a necklace by Aunt Lisa to go pick up the Broad to take her over to Josh’s grandparents’ house for Easter dinner.

I forced Josh to hold this bouquet next to his teal shirt because it coordinated so well. You can tell he’s real excited about that! Ha ha!

It’s my Broad! Easter dinner was delicious, as always. I had planned on bringing my camera along but somehow (A.D.D.) left it back at the house. Heigh ho.

Whew! That was a lot of pictures. That’s what happens when I only blerg once a week. Time for breakfast! So long bloggeroos.
