#trollbaby Tuesday.
Missing my family pretty intensely today: thinking back to a really epic “speech” I made when my parents moved here 11ish? (12ish?!?) years ago about my concerns about my “sovereignty” and independence if we were going to cohabitate in this town. 🤦🏻‍♀️ (note to 22 -year-olds everywhere... do not make this speech even if you think it... it will always come back to haunt you... usually at family dinners when you have asked if someone can feed your dog next week.) • I’ve been getting my parents groceries the last couple of weeks. Today my Dad (@mikbris) came over to mow my lawn while I was working and we talked through the sliding glass door. Last weekend I stumbled across my brother @mbrisbin0415 when our for a walk. And we walked 6ft apart until we got back to his neighborhood. My sister-in-law dropped off a scarf and a bento box surprise last week... I was overjoyed to see a car in the driveway (and her of course) • When I was searching through my phone for “family” pictures you know what popped up? Photos from @shopmesamies , photos of my HP-E Linfield cohort (there are too many of you to tag, but you know who you are) , #greensno1ontherun of course, and bbqs in @jaychristophersmith back yard. Conversations on @janetsasaki couch. @the_calligator sitting on the kitchen floor with #trollbaby. @malleynason and I posing for roommate date night under the lilac bushes. Pictures from @mcminnvillefarmersmarket, and of course pictures of my nephew when he is just a squish that just make me sob. I miss you all. I miss my Family. The immediate and the extended. I miss my yoga students... I miss cocktails at @thistlerestaurant I miss McMinnville.... • (Also apparently during #stayhomesavelives I wear yellow and hair scrunchies exclusively. Also I am clearly touching my face but I did literally just wash my hands...) • #missyou #missyoumonday #missyourface #physicallydistanced #onlykindofsociallydistanced #feelingallthefeelings #weareallinthistogether
3 weeks ago ( which feels like approximately 17 lifetimes ) so glad that my last in person gathering before before sheltering in place/ physical distancing included these humans! (And a few not pictured) 🧘🏻‍♀️🌵 #joshuatreeacres #yogaretreat
Quarantine day 20: I have reached an entirely new level of “pancakes at night.” Current state of mind involves these pancake “shark bites” with veggie sausage and listening to Taylor Swift while I dance around the kitchen (FYI this is not my typical state of mind. But I’m just rolling with it...) #leftshark #pancakesatnight #TaylorandTayler #sharkstateofmind #itsnotevensharkweek #youneedtocalmdown
What a delight to take a drive in the “country” and see the smiling faces of my two favorite farmers today. There were enthusiastic waves, and Toby supervised from the front seat as this gorgeous box of veggies was placed in the trunk with care. I was happy to be able to pick up a box for my parents. I was happy to spend a brief moment with my community. I am so eternally grateful for good humans going above and beyond to make sure we stay nourished during this crazy time. @evenpullfarm is the best of the best... I cannot wait to give them a great big hug when this is all over... #hugafarmer #pandemicproduce #evenfullfarm #veggiepickup #giantbeet #community #livehereworkhereplayhere #putyourmoneywhereyourmouthis🥕🥬🥦 #supportlocalfarms #willamettevalleygrown
Today on the Blog: Feel all your Feelings and Support What You Can. (Because that is all any of us can do right now.) I don’t think there is one right way to do this, but I share some of the ways I am choosing to support my community during this surreal time.
