How I am supposed to calm down and get any sleep after this I don't know, ha ha. Happy to have the win, though!

LET'S GO CANES!!!!! So glad to get that nerve-wracking double overtime win. My heart is racing, heh.

Now let's bring that first period energy to the next games and win this round.

Checking my work calendar to see how much sleep I really need as Canes head to a second overtime... #CarolinaCulture #SoundTheSiren

Hoping they find that energy again in the third, that was a totally different team in the second. I was hoping we were done with the second period curse but I guess not.

Yep, I still hate second periods. #CarolinaCulture

LET'S GO CANES!!! #CarolinaCulture

"Good luck Freddie!" (To Logan Stankoven)

Just goes to show how amazing Freddie has been so far when the commentators can't stop thinking about him.

#CarolinaCulture

FREDDIE!! FREDDIE!! FREDDIE!! FREDDIE!! #CarolinaCulture

(Seriously, how did that not go in?!)

Svech not get a penalty challenge: impossible. >:/

Way to get this party started on the power play, Canes! WOOO!! #CarolinaCulture

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

This is why we should fund science. 🧪

A large pottery planter that has a fresh batch of potting soil in it and nothing else. There are no plants visible as the seeds were just sewn.

New season, new batch of flowers for the planter. There's a mix of zinnia and African daisy seeds in here so I am hoping it will make a colorful mixture once they bloom!

LET'S GO CANES!!!! Way to start this series with a shutout statement! #CarolinaCulture

Holy wow this PK! I'm having to remind myself to breathe. #CarolinaCulture

Sticking with it at the net front pays off! 2-0 Canes, WOOOO! #CarolinaCulture

And now a power play to boot for a chance to make it 3. I hope Nikishin's alright!

And again!! Goodness gracious Freddie is dialed in today and I love it. Go Canes! #CarolinaCulture

FREDDIE!! #CarolinaCulture

WOOO, way to strike first! Let's Go Canes!! #CarolinaCulture

Thanks! Yes, they really are, especially for restoring confidence in the ability to get out there and be active in the first place. That to me means more today than the actual exercise itself.

Having grown up in Charlotte and attending some OG Hornets games, this news made me smile, too, ha ha. When the Hornets moved and the public said not to bring an NBA team back nor pay taxes for a new arena but it happened anyway I lost any allegiance to the team (and the NBA as a whole).

Woooo, the second recovery bike ride went really smoothly! 50 minutes and a little over 10 miles of cruising around campus where I work (I figured it would be less traffic to deal with as well as a change of riding scenery). I think I am good for a full return to cycling at this point! :D

Nullstrukt, what in the world did you eat?! #FursuitFriday

Thanks! The ride was successful, heh. I can't wait to get back to disc golf but I will need to be even more careful easing into that.

One week post back muscle re-injury and I was able to gently start easing my way back into cycling. I got a 20 minute ride in around the neighborhood and everything seemed OK?

The plan is to work my way back up to my usual hour long rides by increasing the outings in 10 minute intervals or so.

Tomorrow will be one week since I re-injured my back, and thankfully the pulled muscles are not hurting anymore and, except for some select movements or positions, everything is feeling normal. Tomorrow I may try to get back on the bike for a SHORT (like, 20 minute) ride to see how that goes.

Ooooof, sorry, definitely done that several times and it sucks. :( I hope it heals quickly and remember that RICE is your friend!

GO CANES!! 2nd place in the NHL regular season is pretty good, I guess. :P
