Today's quarantine homesteading project: rosemary simple syrup. I had almost exactly an ounce left over after filling the bottle, so the only reasonable solution was throwing together a rosemary gimlet. https://t.co/QJqI07UZBa

I was off Twitter entirely for the last month while dealing with mental health stuff, and it's really, really helped.

I think I need to be done with this place. If we're mutuals, DM me and we'll figure out how to stay in touch. Otherwise thanks, and I'll see you around.

Cold season chic. I woke up this morning with a cold and had a few appointments it would have sucked to cancel, so I busted out the fancy mask and disinfectant spray. Tomorrow is definitely a home-in-my-pjs day. https://t.co/UebKgi2tw9

I'm on my way home from Secret Vacation, so have some outbound vs homebound airport selfies. I'm a lot happier than the second one suggests -- just tired and in that bittersweet headspace that leaving somewhere… https://t.co/LON77X64lH

@helloyorick I'm very excited about it.

New Favourite Jacket and I are off on a whirlwind international adventure. I'll be spending the next 5 days in [location redacted] enjoying my first vacation in 2 years, and my first solo non-work trip in about a… https://t.co/DypMlhMU9s

Finished my biggest mending project yet! Jordan has had this leather jacket for at least a decade, and finally busted the back seam. I borrowed it for a video shoot as a throwaway, and then decided I really liked how… https://t.co/uaJuwkk7W6

@snarfmason Yes, but if you scroll through all the photos, there are 3 humans in total.

[Kaja Sadowski @kajaswords]

These two lovely humans came a very long way to be a part of BGSD, and I'm so incredibly glad they did.

Sam, it was wonderful to meet you in person after years of online friendship and near-misses in Vancouver. It… https://t.co/B3C4VIyetb

Welp, that felt easier than I expected! New squat PR of 1x5 @ 200#.

I think the bigger accomplishment is that this happened two days after a huge event, which means I might be starting to figure out… https://t.co/fPp0ShIx4f

[Kaja Sadowski @kajaswords]

The night before Big Gay Sword Day 2, the whole instructor crew got together, picked up some heavy things, and put them back down. I wanna make this my new pre-event ritual.

Did my part for herd immunity today. Flu shots are good. https://t.co/pc4h1WEaLY

@MatlockHargrove Bahahahaha!

Rude.

[Kaja Sadowski @kajaswords]

It's not a great brain day, but I like the way my arms look after lifting, so there's that.

Also hit my current maxes for squat (3x5 @ 195#) and bench (3x5 @ 100#), which is an important reminder that my body is… https://t.co/vLkfiw5JnM

[Kaja Sadowski @kajaswords]

I was thisclose to bailing on lifting today. Instead, I had a snack and let my awesome training buddy jonemills drag me along with his focus and energy. And then I deadlifted 235# three times for a new PR.

Friends… https://t.co/ItDJtoa81t

It's officially the cold season. Got me some flannel pj pants for wearing around the house that are covered in these adorable holiday penguins.
