Welcome to another Ultimate Coffee Date! I’m headed to Monterey for a “senior physicians’ weekend!” (I became a senior physician like 4 years ago, but things got pushed back pretty far because of Covid, so I’m finally going now.) It works out though because one of my med school friends will be attending too + we can hang out + eat dinner in the Monterey Bay Aquarium with the sunfish, otters, and jellyfish! :]
Ultimate Coffee Date: May 2026
I also went back to the archery range with 2 friends! My groupings are getting better, so we’re going to graduate ourselves to checking out an outdoor course once one of them makes more arrows!
It’s got this cute little “lifelog”/mood tracker it does at 9pm every day where it chooses one of their favorite pictures you took that day too! :]
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I went to my very first Michelin star restaurant in the U.S. last month! I’ve dearly missed my Fat Girl Wednesdays with my friend ever since she moved to south SF, so when she asked if I was free to go to a 10th anniversary event one of her favorite restaurants was putting together, I decided to go for it (treat yo’self!).
The food was phenomenal. ;_;
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I went to a sport psychology clinic/workshop for equestrians last weekend and it was really cool! The psychologist leading it went through how to recognize fear/anxiety, things we could do to help to work through pre-show/post-injury anxiety, how to set more helpful goals in riding, and whole lot of other helpful information. It brought me back to my college exercise biology days. <3 (I should go email my professor!)
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…the weather’s been a little weird lately and warmed up a TON, so I got to go mulberry picking and hiking! :D And then it went back to being super cold (to me) and rainy, so I’m back to being bundled up in multiple layers. Ya win some, ya lose some.

I have not heard of that game but anything that helps to get people outside and walking more is good! Your horse psych experience sounds interesting. I used to practice psychotherapy back in the day!
hehe, it apparently came out during the pandemic — I wish I’d known sooner, but better late than never! :P
That’s awesome! :]

Pikim Bloom sounds like something I’d love. I was fanatical about Pokemon for years and finally had to delete it as it consumed me. Haha! Anything that’ gets you out walking can’t be bad, right? Love that you got to work with horses!
It’s been so cute!! This month’s theme is on 80’s-90’s game consoles so the lil pikmin get those as their decoration and I’m on a mission to collect em’ all! :D..

That game sounds fun! And more active than Pokemon Go.
That workshop sounds fascinating. And, have fun in Monterey! Is it a work event or more socializing? Either way I’m sure it will be fun.
Yeah, Pokemon Go def seems like it’s playing up the battles more — I used to walk a lottt more for that one when I lived near a college campus, but sadly no more.
It was technically a work event but where the main point of it was to socialize. Definitely one of the best weekends I’ve had in a while! :D!

I’ve not heard of Pikim Bloom, but remember watching people in the common area behind our house looking around with their phones when Pokemon Go was big.
I don’t think I’ve ever been to a Michelin star restaurant in the USA or elsewhere. I bet you thoroughly enjoyed your evening!
Our mulberries don’t bloom until early June, but I do love stopping to nibble on them when I’m out on the trail walking!

haaha, that would be me in this game (I did the same with Pokemon Go too…)
It was so good! Prior to this, I managed to find a couple in Japan that were suuper reasonably priced (e.g. ramen for <$20! :D ). This was definitely way more expensive but all the food was delicious!
I hope ours will be around til at least then! *-* I'm hoping to go back at least one more time!

Pikim Bloom sounds great for helping to get your steps in!
And, how fun to go to a Michlin star restaurant – the pics you posted the food looks so good!
I love reading your blog posts! :)
I have not been spending time outdoors lately. I really only like being outdoors when I’m swimming and/or if it’s not too hot. I used to love my daily walks but my chronic hip pain has sidelined those. Since I’m not going on daily walks anymore, my steps aren’t the greatest.
