Day 12: magic
Coffee (hot or cold) is like liquid magic for me. It can really transform my mood in the mornings.

Day 11: Sky
Pretty stoked to have my word chosen for today’s theme.
I love a good sky photo, especially when there are wispy clouds involved over a super serene beach landscape.

My back has progressively gotten worse this past week. It’s been super painful to sit and stand so I finally gave in and scheduled a physical therapy appointment.
I experienced cupping therapy for the first time today. Not a huge fan of the marks it leaves and it’s still TBD to see if it works.
👩💻 There is an opportunity that I am exploring tomorrow but ugh, my imposter syndrome is strong on this one.
Day 10: train
Inside of a BART car even though BART is technically not a train, but more so a “heavy-rail public transit”. I have heard tourists call it a train so we will stick with that for just today.

Day 9: crispy
I am absolutely obsessed with this crispy Shrimp Toast (Chinese Donut, Minced Shrimp, Spicy Aioli) from a local restaurant.

🐶 Cocoa’s day at the dentist (yesterday)
I’m always anxious every time Cocoa goes to the dentist, especially now that she’s getting older (she’s turning 13 in September). If you are not familiar with dental procedures for dogs, they knock them out so that they can properly clean their teeth. There are a lot of horror stories of dogs not waking up from the procedure due to complications. Of course, as dogs get older, the risks also increase.
The vet typically does blood tests and check for heart issues before applying the anesthesia. Those are not perfect so even if the results come out positive, there is still that risk. I feel like I stop breathing for those few hours I await for the vet’s call to let me know that Cocoa is awake and recovering.
Thankfully, Cocoa did beautifully (vet tech’s exact words) during her dental cleaning yesterday. We were reminded that she has 2 missing teeth, but no further extractions were needed.
Here she is still super groggy from the anesthesia. Her throat is a little raspy from the tube during the procedure but she’s doing well. Appetite is there and she is drinking water.
I am thankful.
Day 8: prevention
An apple a day keeps the doctor away… especially if the apple is this big 😳

It’s been a year since I joined Bluesky. I feel like so much has happened over there since then. I’ve been using the platform on and off for some time, but more so off these days. If any of you are still active on there, feel free to give me a follow for those rare occasions that I do post.
Day 7: well-being
I love to stay active as much as I can for my well-being. One of the ways I do that is through cycling, although lately, I’ve been doing more of this indoors via the Peloton than outdoors. Been having issues with my back but hoping to get on the bike again real soon.
