'We buy my niece a rainbow flag to wave, and she giggles and happily waves it...I get a little misty-eyed this year watching the giant flags go by, feeling so supported by my family. I only came out 3 years ago & I'm finally starting to feel like myself.'
8 a.m. — Good news! Minor tune-ups needed, and my husband says he can do them himself . I eat my breakfast at my desk. Today, it's Trader Joe's gluten-free nuts-and-berries granola, cottage cheese, and fresh raspberries. I send C., my boyfriend, a good morning Snapchat .
12 p.m. — I take my lunch walk and go down to the midday farmer's market to browse. It's early in the season, so it's mostly lettuce, onions, and other early veggies and about half as many vendors as normal. Nothing strikes my fancy, so I walk to the old-time candy shop. I get myself a butter-cheese-caramel popcorn mix and caramel popcorn for my boyfriend, who I will see later tonight. Caramel popcorn is his favorite.
5 p.m. — I get home, change into yoga pants and a T-shirt, and go outside to weed the vegetable garden. We just bought our house last fall, and the yard and landscaping needed a lot of work. We planted heirloom tomatoes, a variety of peppers, onions, raspberries, a blueberry bush, sunflowers, and catnip. While weeding, I'm surprised to find several random squash growing and a bunch of rogue tomatoes.
10 a.m. — I take a break from work and text my sister about my niece's birthday party this weekend and then check my personal email while I munch on popcorn. Bookbub has a memoir about a blind cat today, so of course I buy the e-book for my Kindle. Our kitten is half-blind, and any story about a blind cat tugs at my heartstrings.11:30 a.m. — R. meets me for lunch downtown today. We go to a Greek place near my office. I get a Greek salad with chicken and pita bread, R. gets a gyro and fries.
1 p.m. — I decide to go get Chipotle for lunch, and C. surprises me and meets me. I order a veggie bowl with brown rice, black beans, fajita veggies, pico de gallo, corn salsa, sour cream, cheese and lettuce, and a side of guacamole and chips. I eat half the bowl and all of the chips and guacamole.1:45 p.m. — I say goodbye to C. and head over to Target to get my niece a birthday card. I find her a birthday card, a birthday card for my mom, and some random cards as well.
