You Are My Sunshine

August 6, 2010 by Hillary 5 Comments

…my only sunshine. You make me happeee when skies are grey. You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my sushi away.

Someone had a cup of caffeinated coffee around 8:30pm tonight, and that nutty person would be me. I am becoming quite the addict. I really didn’t want or need the caffeine – just the aroma and flavor that my  tongue has become accustomed to – but it’s all we had. So now I’m up writing a post as the clock ticks into tomorrow. I have to be up and ready to run by 7:45 in the morning [90 minutes is the plan!], before working my last wedding for the summer. Yep, last day of work for a while – happy, sad, or a bit of both?

Today’s 7 hours of prep was exhausting – it always is. I came home, dove into a frozen bag of chocolate chips – true story – and then proceeded to order sushi to-go for the final time this summer. I will miss you, Sunshine Roll.

I spoiled my appetite with my chocolate appetizer, so I have one of my two rolls in the fridge waiting for lunch duty tomorrow – yesss.

…it really is like sunshine on a foggy, Humboldt County August day.

Alright, time to get my beauty runner’s rest. Catch ya later, loves.

What are your exercise plans this weekend? Long run Saturday. Long ride Sunday.

What’s the craziest sushi roll you’ve ever eaten? I think the Sunshine & Dragonfly rolls are both very unique.

    I LOVE me some sushi. I usually stick with the AAC (avocado, asparagus, cucumber). Can’t go wrong with that! I also load it up with wasabi. Mmmm. Now I have a craving! Uh oh…

    I’ve never been a big fan of sushi because of the fish (I’m not a big fish-eater), but I’m sure that I would love a veggie roll.

    Ran one part of the PCT today, and another tomorrow! Great views, fresh water for your water bottle coming right out of the mountain, and elevation training!

    Yam, mango AND avocado in one roll!? Amazing – I’ve had all separately (yam rolls are my fav!), but that looks glorious.

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
