some of the rosebushes pruned

1 hour on a kayak
around 4 hours on a paddleboard
2 premature attempts to leave the shore (third time = charm. aka hand-pumping to 15 psi. gonna have Popeye arms by next summer.)
1 party attended. And the BYM remembered to warn me to wear pants ("parking sucks" = getting there by motorcycle) hours in advance. The hosts got married in Italy a few weeks ago, so there were an array of spritzers (amaretto, aperol, strawberry limoncello, and negroni) and tasty bites. Oh, and moonshine.
3 temporary tattoos applied
4 actual tattoos discussed
2 mosquito bites
1 unexpected farewell message
1 new person to ping when I next get to New York

Black Girl Baking)
