You ever eat a piece of fruit so good, you remember it for the rest of your life?
#Yup!#my grandmother fed me like. four peaches in a row one time#we were standing by the sink and she sliced and peeled them#and she handed them to me so fast the only thing I could do to keep up is shove them in my mouth#I kept asking her if she would pause and eat some of the slices too#no! she was on a mission. a mission to stuff me full of peaches#It was peach season too! those things tasted like flowers and sunshine and morning rain!#(in the good way)#so uhh. I guess I ate a lot of pieces of fruit. but it was all at once so does that count?#fruit#food#alsike rambles in the tags

Pulled over off the highway, waiting out a scary bad thunderstorm Don’t break, windshield!
#I genuinely hope you got to safety!#scary thunderstorms are no fun!#but also: your tag was amazing and I needed to share it prev ->#an adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered

Since it's watermelon season!
My grandfather used to grow watermelons, among other things, and he told me about most of this, especially the orange spot. Those are the absolute best!

I'm doing a lot of adulting today!
#I just gotta buckle up and do it#lots of laundry and sending out ads and formatting an academic presentation and grading my students and#et cetera#I may even sweep and clean surfaces if I have enough energy left over!#I'm having tea time with a friend this evening so now I have A Deadline to work towards!#then I will probably turn in early like a grandma#alsike goes on an adventure#(the adventure is life)

Im starting to believe some of the people on this site aren't introverts but rather people who can't do anything
#this!!#They make a good point about the pride hiding in some forms of social anxiety#and it is good to be kind to yourself. But that also means being kind enough to push yourself to grow out of these harmful thought patterns#all kinds of health

I'm practicing my ability to make my own food choices by eating cookies I made with whipped cream for dessert :)
#food#I am not sure why this is funny to me#I haven't tried this combo before (outside of ice cream sundaes. but that's different)#((cookies are refrigerated btw. made them a few days ago))

y'know what while I'm here. I'm glad trees exist. And mountains. And especially wooded mountains! Those are my favorite.
I love watching the sunlight and shadows of clouds roll over a green mountain in the distance.

welcome to sleepy Alsike brain, where I talk about my preferences in soups and filling banking paperwork at unreasonable hours of the night. Apparently.
