For Mothers Day last week, we went low key, and simply visited JJ Bean in the morning. I've been obsessed with chocolate chip cookies, and JJ Bean bakes one of the most reliably delicious cookies I've had around Vancouver:
What type of chocolate do they use, I wonder? What is their flour to butter ratio to get the cookie to ooze like that? What temperature do they set their oven?
Their oat milk latte never fails to lift my mood too. Iced oat milk latte and chocolate chip cookie, irresistible.
With all of this energy from our morning coffee, we proceeded to run errands and do house things. Visited home depot for charcoal so that we could take advantage of the sun and H smoked a rack of ribs. While the kids napped, we went to cut the grass and pull out the weeds in the yard. Dinner at 6PM, and we were all in bed by 10... Could our lives be any more mundane?
I recently had an enlightening conversation with a friend about her health. She was so nonchalant about having to take medication daily and so accepting of her situation. She says these things come with age, and we (our friends) all have our problems, whether it's blood pressure, varicose veins, joint pain, back pain, pain in all body parts, etc. No longer in our 20's, heading to our 40's.
"If it isn't happening to me, then it will happen to one of us."
