This past weekend, I played 22 hours of volleyball—drilled, more accurately. My doubles partner and I attended Better at Beach’s 3-Day Mini Camp and it was some of the most fun I’ve had playing volleyball in a long time. I learned SO MUCH, and have so much to work on now, not the least of…
You can click through to ig for the fifth pic – from my amazing birthday party! Backyard Ball supporting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation – always an amazing time. Quick trip just the two of us to Colorado, buying a bike and accidentally extending a hike. The best dog. Pretty city from a truck window after…
I’m so excited for this weekend. Birthdays are such a great excuse for celebrating, traveling, and relaxing, and for this milestone bday we’re doing it ALLLLLL! Valle de Guadalupe was incredible. The food was awesome, the views were amazing, and there was *some* great wine. We had so much fun, relaxing and eating well and…

My handsome helpful humanitarian warrior had surgery earlier this week, and he is a bad patient. He is bad at resting, bad at chilling, very bad at doing nothing. Very bad, 0/10, does not respect couch arrest. And he’s still in a lot of pain, and I think it’s because his lack of rest is…
WEDNESDAY CONCERT! It was admittedly a bold move to go to a concert on a Wednesday 1.5 hours away in Fredericksburg, but it was SO worth it!! I have seen some amazing music in the last couple of years, but this setting was sublime: camping chairs, under oak trees, against a vineyard, sipping rosé (not…
Can I be grateful for a cough? A person certainly could, but can I? Me, Lyssa? Maybe. I had this terrible cough for a full 10 days. I hit the infrared sauna, got cupped, spent time outside in the sun for my vitamin D, mucinex-ed, even started a course of ivermectin (the “FLiRT” variant of…
