Click the image for a video of me trying the classic mocktail, the “Beef Fizz”. Recipe from this tweet.
My husband tried it too and said it “Would be better with less beef”.

Almost at the Goal
My 10K is now May 1st. Since it’s a virtual run and I can run any day in May I figured I’d get it over with quickly.
Last week I did 10K (by my Apple Watch) in 63 mins, and I am hoping to get it to an hour by Friday. Or get the treadmill sensor working again and then forget about my time. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Very little is happening other than running and working from home. I’m hardly even reading the internet ’cause of Animal Crossing.
I’ll post my runtime here on May 1st, so watch this space!
Quarnatine Fashion
This morning I am wearing a lovely Frank and Oak sweater in light peach, which I purchased just before the self isolation and never got to wear, paired with a pair of blue LuluLemon leggings that have a stain on the knee, and a burgundy Walmart hoodie overtop.
On Friday I went for my run, but my Runn sensor continues not to work so I was just using my Apple watch. I ran for an hour and ten minutes and my watch said that was just over 10K. I know it’s a lie, but it made me feel good anyway.
At work we started watching Listen to your Heart yesterday, which is the new Bachelor property that also incorporates singing for some reason. We had all decided we were NOT going to watch it, after struggling through the last season of the Bachelor, but of course quarantine times are not regular times. Anyway it’s terrible, it’s a Bachelor show where they sing at each other all the time so obviously it’s terrible. It’s only six episodes so I’m definitely going to finish it.
I’ve also just finished watching all of the original Party of Five and MAN it’s a fucking SLOG. The sixth season is absolute garbage. Charlie and Kirsten are married, why did they ever break up in the first place. Bailey gets into an ivy league business school somehow despite having dropped out of college, struggling to keep his restaurant afloat, and basically rape-dating every single woman he ever goes out with. And what was with the unceremonious removal of Sarah from the show? Julia continues to treat every man terribly but somehow fails up just like all of them. And Claudia is off to Julliard but I do not care because she was often the worst Salinger of them all. They were all terrible the whole show, much like when I finally watched all of Sex and the City. I’ve come to the concluison that the late 90s/early 2000s were just full of TERRIBLE people being on TV, and not in the fun way like It’s Always Sunny.
Anyway, there are a bunch of disconnected quarantine thoughts for your Wednesday.
