When we moved into our apartment two years ago, there was a huge, empty building next door that was previously used as a supermarket. Around May this year, we saw some activity happening in the area and it soon emerged that another grocery brand was going to be occupying the space. After macoing for months, they opened in October and I don't know what kind of research they did but they definitely set out to catch the Caribbean folks cause they have it all. The only things they're missing are pimento and dasheen bush.

Definitely buying a bottle of Peardrax for the Christmas.

I've been slowly reading and catching up on all things tumblr for a while now (I missed it here) and actually caught the vibes to start writing here again (pandemic, masters program, and work sucked the joy out of me for a while). It's always easier to just dive back in:

N made stew peas today and it lash. I always wanted a partner who could cook and dammit, ah get through.

2. I am shopping for new clothes. It's the second time for the year I've shopped for clothes for myself but what I really need are shoes. I wear sneakers all the time now.

3. We're moving in (counts on fingers).....5 and a half weeks. It's a bit surreal. I have mixed emotions. Some days I'm sad to leave, and some days I can't wait to go.

4. I finally fucking did it! May share more on that in the future but it's been 20+ years of waiting.

5. I started watching anime and reading books again. It's the only things I'm interested in these days entertainment wise.

6. I can't wait to get back to strength training. Officially in the 'I love workout' phase of my life. It's hard to get there and I don't want to lose momentum again.

I usually know when I will be on cam for a work meet but the few times I was caught off guard, this was exactly the energy it took to get me ready and on cam in .2 seconds.

Kinda surprised I made it. Since I started school, I’ve been too exhausted to read leisurely.

Day Off

Got an update from work that we have the day off tomorrow due to an impending snow storm.  My overworked behind is ecstatic.  My brain is trying to out do itself by making a  “things we can finally do” list.

My work brain is trying to figure out how to contact the new hire and let him know not to come in tomorrow. 

My body is saying gym.

A tiny inner voice is wondering if I can go galavanting for carnival stuff.

My daughter’s reaction when holding her new baby sister. Much heavier than the dolls she practiced on. LOL

read them aloud and it seems legit. A couple of them sound the same like “is that so” and “is it true?”

😂😭💯
