Kitchen Slow Jam

It looks like I did only a little work on the kitchen today but I made more progress than it looks like:

Well, now that I've seen both pics side by side I have to give more credit. Not shown: I organized three cupboards and consolidated some things into containers that had been standing mostly empty.

Here's a hack I never thought of until today: I always have had trouble storing long taper candles and keeping them safe from breaking or bending. Today I put them in some tall unused flower vases, and they'll be upright until they're ready to use.

Also not shown: I took out the trash, recycling and compost. I had a few little pumpkins on my porch as decoration so I threw those in the big green bin out front as well.

I've been a member of The People's Yoga for a few months since they began a sliding scale monthly fee, so I've been livestreaming classes for a while. They have recorded classes too that are accessible with a membership. When I had to quarantine last spring for a couple weeks I treated myself to yoga blocks and a strap which are pretty indispensable, and now I even have a bolster. Don't be fooled, I'm not very good but I'm trying and it's helped a lot these last few months. I took a vinyasa class today where the instructor spends a portion of time doing the wild handstands and backbends, and I just did some basic stretches while that's all going on. 

One thing I'm kind of excited about is Harry Styles and this new-ish song. I didn't want to like him but now I can't stop thinking about how great this is:

Ok then - I'll be back in touch in a couple days. Wear your mask, don't be a jerk!
