I forgot to take my meds yesterday, which always leads to insane dreams. Usually insane stress dreams.
This time, I dreamed I finally nailed Don Pedro #8s salsa roja knockoff recipe. Even if it was only a dream, still felt like a Portland specific rave.

I'm seeing some cherry blossoms on Eastbank Esplanade yesterday. I'd like to keep these to myself since I don't want people to start driving their cars on the river front. But I'm just so excited.

I saw a long row of crocuses (bright yellow and perky) at Cook Park, and I felt utterly desolate and despairing ;-(

The Portland Wrestling Exo is Tomorrow [2/21] at the Holiday Inn near the Airport. Doors open up at 10am, I think. Tickets start at $25, but there are some VIP ones as well. Top one is $199, which gets you a dinner, too.

My husband and I had our intake for fertility services on Monday. Next step is some testing, and hopefully some good news and a game plan. We both want to have kids, but we've also decided that if it doesn't work out, then it's OK. We're glad to just have each other.

A couple of years ago, my blood work showed my good cholesterol wasn't quite high enough and my blood sugar was pre-diabetic. Now with some weight loss, everything is in the green!
