Day 1
Today I started Whole30.
Recently I realized that I felt my best and had the most energy- physically and mentally- a few years ago when, unbeknownst to me, I was essentially following a Paleo diet. I've since fallen away from it, but I'm ready to reclaim that energy.
I'd also like to see if removing dairy from my diet will have any effect on my ( Read more... ) -
Ice storm
Made it through the snow. The overhyped snow storm. Well, not entirely. It shifted south, so cities like Olympia got the snow that was predicted for Seattle ( Read more... ) -
the snow came
Well, the snow came. Not a lot, maybe an inch. Some of it melted yesterday and froze during the night ( Read more... ) -
Finally an update.
It’s been cold here. Cold with brilliant blue skies and sunny. So sunny. Frosty rooftops, crunchy grass. Snow to come soon, maybe. I would love some snow, but just enough to enjoy with little to no hassle.

So far I really love it. An obligatory screenshot.

decorating for Christmas
I always feel like I can face the day once I’ve had a cup of coffee. Strong, with a touch of cream. For a while I got a little heavy handed with the pumpkin spice creamer. It was crazy! But good.

first post
I created a new journal.
If I have to pin one reason as to why, I'd say that I just wanted a fresh start. And if I can pin two, I also just no longer identified with my username. This one, elkdawn, is more fitting.
I plan to bring over some of my friends from my previous journal, and hopefully, create new ones. This journal will be mostly public, with a ( Read more... )
