Re: Weekly Randoms, 5/9
Hubbs and I were in the woods on a large gravel road and there was a river running next to us (kind of like the Metolius area if you’re familiar). There were lots of cars and people, but we chose a side road and wanted to go get down and dirty in the woods away from people. This is a little out of character but not the weirdest thing… HOWEVER…
As we were walking down that small side road, a grown ass male lion was running next to us in the woods about 150-200ft to the right of us. I remember he stood out more to me for being kind of ugly for a lion than for being A LION in the Eastern Oregon woods.
Then, I woke up. I am still a little befuddled and this was on the night to Saturday.

We don’t buy socks often. A couple years ago, I think, we each got a pack of Puma socks from Costco. Also relevant here is that I enjoy taking care of the laundry so I put it away. Every day. Sometimes twice - we have a small washer (Splendide 7100XC).
So yeah, not even a pregnancy problem. This is just how I exist.
I just indulged in over the belly pants and I am sad I waited this long. My belly really started getting in the way starting last week and these are literally life changing haha
