Yesterday we had our every other month baking club with my mom, my sister, and now my kid. We bake things that we’ve never baked before. From tiramisu to choux pastry with a coffee crème pâtissière, we’re trying all recipes that look delicious. Yesterday we made a lemon tart. It was delicious and so much fun. And it was my kid’s first time joining us. They cracked their first eggs and whisked their first curd. It was fantastic to see them work and figure out their own style. They even donned our matching Badass Baking Bitches apron. I hope that they continue to bake with us. Once I move, our baking adventures will move online over Discord.

Here is the recipe we used:

I will miss the direct connection that I have with my sister and mom, but we are trying out best to make plans for connections from a distance. It will be the farthest away from my sister than I ever have lived before.

Today is a big day for me. I start Ketamine Therapy. I’ve never done it before and I’m hopeful that it will help with my medication resistant depression. It’s an important time. I need to get up and do all the things I want to do, all the things that are helpful and healthy, to establish those new synapses and pathways in my brain. I’ve packed up my bag, pulled out my journal, and have picked my intention. I’m hoping that I handle it well. I haven’t eaten today, so I’m hopeful I won’t get nauseous.

And my mom, she’s an angel. She’s going to be taking me to all six of my sessions. She refused payment or gas money and told me that she’s doing it for me because she loves me. As I said, she is an angel.

Well, that is all for now. I need to shower and get ready for my full day. Until next time.
