I was so busy running around shifting apartments today, that this was one of the only pics I managed to take – this (large) suitcase held all of my non-hanging clothing + a yoga mat, yoga block, foam roller and all my scarves.

With hanging clothes and jackets, maybe double that volume – and shoes fit well into a small carry-on sized roller case.

I may not still have only 91 items of clothing like I moved here with, but I’m not doing too bad.

Which is good, since we lost 3/4 of our closet space with this move.

Today is definitely an Ikea day.

Found a fantastic double-story Turkish place in one of the malls that I need to explore further. This place is not only stunning, but delicious (at least the breakfast I had was).

That’s Turkish tea, simit (like a really light sesame bagel), and egg/beef scramble.

Today, I decided a leisurely stroll home from yoga – the new Tool album as loud as I could handle in my ears – was fine idea.

Got about halfway home before the swampiness and airborne dust caught up to me and I had to stop for some a/c and refreshment.

Also completely forgot to take a picture of the day today until we were already in evening TV mode:

Part of a DH, an Odin, and the glow of A Handmaids Tale (+ our Hue mood lighting).

Oh, poo! I was so busy yesterday making tacos, playing Ticket to Ride, and trying not to die from allergies that I forgot to take a non food-related pic!

So here’s what I ate yesterday: Protein/probiotic/other stuff shake, beef-stuffed potato balls, tacos three ways (enchilada sauce chicken + avocado crema in a lettuce wrap, sliced carne asada + pickled carrots + avo crema + a bare Tablespoon refried beans on a flour tortilla, and diced carne asada + peppers & onions in a hard corn shell), and brownie + raspberry sorbet for dessert.

Game night win, and FODMAPs pushed to the limit!

Hurry!

A surprisingly good lunch (minus the rice, which was bafflingly tasteless) at IKEA.

Potential

Haven’t seen this one in awhile

Happy International Dog Day from these two
