Also I got this monster aloe today in exchange for NIVE packets of native wildflower seeds LOL Handed over lemon beebalm, Lindheimer's senna, wild tan tan, tievine, tropical puff, sunshine mimosa, common yucca, Texas rock rose, and winecup for it. ✨ 🌱🌵
Hyping myself up for my upcoming Chevron Houston training block by wearing Boston merch that an actual Boston runner got at the Expo and gave to me LOL 🤧 Let’s get this BQ 😤 🏃🏻♀️✨
My seed collection from @cast-iron-garden.bsky.social grows. 🙂↕️✊🏻 Upright prairie coneflowers and western ironweed! I’m gonna get these sowed at the end of the year! ✨ Thank you so much for helping me diversify my pollinator spaces! 😄 🌿🌱
Weeehehe got my appointment booked on Monday for my updated Covid vaccine + Flu shot 🙂↕️

Update on the storm from Friday. It was definitely caught early and a storm warning WAS issued with calls for 50ish mph winds and hail but it evolved much quicker than anticipated. Just to put it in perspective: at 8:30pm local time, there were no measurements of radar gates exceeding 70 mph. 🧵
Not even a weekend w/o power will prevent Monday speed workout day! We were SUPPOSED to do five 1-mi repeats at race pace. We did them about 20-sec faster than pace. Also lol don’t look at my injinji toes in my slides. I was having an autistic panic post-run & had to take off my Adizeros LOL 🏃🏻♀️✨
For anyone going to San Japan I’ll be there on Saturday with @craniatology.bsky.social :3 Won’t be in cosplay but if u wanna meet up I’ll be around
Other than being eepy, we slept 7 hours after being able to get back to bed (we were camping out on the couch in the living room with the floor fans lol) and the A/C and electricity are holding up good. Bruh what a weekend lol Glad to have made it through. Seems like most SATX’s power is back now.
Our neighborhood’s power was finally restored at around 4:30am 😭🥲 Thank goodness. I am utterly exhausted from being in semi-crisis mode for about 31 hours straight lol We have to knock the temperature in the house down gradually. It got up to 84 degrees F inside by the time we got back power lol
We have a generator running & we’re just cycling through what to have on. Right now we have the fridge, floor fans, wifi & a power strip. We just got finished checking on our neighbors. We’re all kinda going through it but we’re ultimately okay. Please send all of us in San Antonio good vibes 👍🏻
But hey I ran 14-mi this morning with a run club bestie so there’s that. 🤧 Downtown was a shit show because of tree fall and flooding though. 🏃🏻♀️
San Antonio got hit with another catastrophic storm that took out power for thousands of people (including my house!) and caused the San Antonio River to overfill & spill over, heavily impacting the downtown + Missions areas. Climate change isn’t real though. 🤧 Anyways. We still don’t have power.

It's nearly #Waymakers time! I will be drawing birds as thanks for donors to @theyoungcenter.bsky.social 's yearly drive to assist immigrant children in the US! I already have some early birds, like this cardinal - thanks Chris! #SciArt #BirdArt 🎨🪶 youngcenter.donordrive.com/campaigns/Bi...
I elevated myself and reached complete enlightenment by adding jalapeño cheddar sausage to it.

I ran my last 800m of an 8-mi hills run with a chicken this morning. 🤧 🏃🏻♀️🐓
Bro what the hell. Now I look at the news to see that Tim Curry has passed while I complain about marathon hotels. OKAY. I GUESS. THROWS MY HANDS UP.
Can I be grumpy about something niche for a sec? It’s diabolical work to be an official hotel partner for the Chev Houston Marathon & not offer runners who book through the registration page late checkout on marathon day 😓 It’s an extra $75 charge if you elect for late checkout ON MARATHON DAY 🏃🏻♀️
