back at it… though, “it“ never really stops. また再開……とはいえ、実際にはそれが止まることなんてないのだけれど。

a photo of a tablet with a teal case, a Bluetooth keyboard, a Bluetooth mouse, a small mousepad with leaves in blues and teals with gold accents, and an Apple Pencil in a case, attached to a Ninentdo Entertainment System (NES) patterned lanyard with NES controller charm. all of these are on a dark green cushion as background

ティール色のケースに入ったタブレット、BTキーボード、BTマウス、青やティール色の葉と金のアクセントがあしらわれた小さなマウスパッド、そしてNESのコントローラーのチャームが付いたNES柄のネックストラップに装着されたケース入りのApple Pencil。これらすべてが、背景となる濃い緑色のクッションの上に置かれています。

alternate version if you like, because we're in it for the long term

the meme of Coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) from GLEE, with a narrow-eyed, thousand-yard stare, as if smugly scheming, but it says “I just stepparented – and will continue to stepparent – so hard”

last two reposts were just hanging out together in the Discover feed… the duality of fast food.

Sunday AM meds. taking them a bit late. just one more than usual. a few of my meds are weekly instead of daily. no qualms about taking them. these meds keep me alive & relatively well. 日曜の朝の薬。少し遅れて飲んでいます。まあ、いつもより1錠多いだけですけどね。毎日ではなく、週に1回飲む薬もいくつかあるので。飲むことに抵抗はありません。この薬のおかげで生きていられますし、比較的元気に過ごせていますから。

色白の手が、平らに開いた手のひらに数種類の錠剤やカプセルを載せている写真。そのすぐ下（または背後）はわずかにぼやけており、キャビネットに立てかけられた折りたたみ式の杖とキッチンの床が写っている。

it's Sunday morning, so @philthycasualmedia.com and i continued watching Preacher before work. rewatch for me, but no spoilers for “Phil,” please! 💰✝️🩸 日曜の朝なので、仕事の前に、 @philthycasualmedia.com と一緒に『プリーチャー（Preacher）』の続きを観ました。私にとっては再視聴ですが、「フィル（Phil）」にはネタバレなしでお願いします！ ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%...

little bit of (very diluted) caffeine this morning… with fresh watermelon. found this at the local surplus store. 😀 ☺️🍉🍋‍🟩 今朝は（かなり薄めた）カフェインを少々… 新鮮なスイカと一緒に。地元の在庫処分店で見つけました。😀🈹

a photo of a teal 40 oz reusable plastic cup with lid and straw, and a bottle of Starbucks Refreshers Concentrate: Lime Watermelon in bright, neon green and a warm, bright pink. in the cup, pink chunks of watermelon can be faintly seen floating to the top. the background of a kitchen counter with various objects has been blurred to focus on the cup and bottle.

蓋とストローが付いたティールブルーの40オンス（約1.2リットル）入り再利用可能プラスチックカップと、鮮やかなネオングリーンと温かみのある明るいピンク色が目を引く「スターバックスリフレッシャーズコンセントレート（ライム・ウォーターメロン味）」のボトルが写っています。カップの中では、ピンク色のスイカの果肉の塊が水面に浮かんでいるのがうっすらと見えます。背景には様々な物が置かれたキッチンカウンターが写っていますが、カップとボトルに焦点が合うようぼかされています。

nothing beats a good sandwich. 😌 美味しいサンドイッチに勝るものはありません。😌 #青空ごはん部 #おうちごはん #自炊班 #晩ごはん #ディーンナー #こんばんはアメリカより（UTC-5:00 - ペンシルベニア州 - 東海岸）

a photo of a plate with a sandwich: rye bread, ham, melted Swiss cheese, some horseradish mustard, and sliced green peppers. there are also green grapes next to the sandwich.

サンドイッチをのせた皿の写真です。サンドイッチにはライ麦パン、ハム、とろけたスイスチーズ、ホースラディッシュ・マスタード、スライスしたピーマンが使われています。サンドイッチの横には、緑色のブドウも添えられています。

seems to be going pretty okay. 😌

A still frame from the animated Netflix show Disenchantment, showing Oona, a humanoid lizard with light blue skin and black hair. In this image she is dressed as the Pirate Queen, and she is hugging her step-daughter, Princess Tiabeanie, aka “Bean,” on her ship. They both have warm smiles.

In the background for some reason is Big Jo, the creepy exorcist of Dreamland, in his usual black and red monastic wear.

“Do you know what I am? I am an idiot, with a box and a screwdriver. Just passing through, helping out, learning. I don't need an army. I never have, because I've got them. Always them. Because love, it's not an emotion. Love is a promise.” —The Twelfth Doctor, Doctor Who: “Death in Heaven” (S08E12)

photo of Peter Capaldi, possibly a behind-the-scenes candid from his role as the Twelfth Doctor in Doctor Who. he's making an "oh-ho-ho!" type of facial expression. he is wearing what may be the sonic sunglasses, a dark blazer, and a dark grey tee-shirt. a photo of a large, jeweled crown has been edited into the photo, atop his head.

of course. i wish you the executive function to shower when you're up to it, or that you find some suitable substitute. 🪄✨🚿 i re-made a relevant meme the other day (the version i had was kind of low-res and sloppy). hope you enjoy.

“kombucha girl” meme but with three frames instead of the usual two.

top - grossed out: getting in the shower
middle - intrigued: being in the shower
bottom - grossed out: getting out of the shower

a couple of little somethings to take the edge off

one of my exes tried to get a little jab in at me this morning, completely unprovoked (he must have thought he was overdue)… and i handed him his ass on a platter. he had nothing to say, so he just said “lol”. maidenless behavior. have a great day, folks.

アイスコーヒーを飲む習慣を始める季節にした（また)（笑）😎 今日のアイスコーヒー： • コーヒー ☕️ • 無糖オリジナル（プレーン）アーモンドミルク 🥛 • ブルーベリーコブラー風味のシュガーフリーシロップ 🫐 • バニラ風味のシュガーフリーシロップ 🍦 • 氷 🧊 ※ 翻訳内容で不明な点や不自然な点があれば、お尋ねください。申し訳ございません。 #青空カフェ部 #甘党部 #青空ごはん部

斑点模様のキッチンカウンターに置かれた、アーモンドミルク入りアイスコーヒーの広口メイソンジャー。再利用可能なストローが差され、切り抜き模様の入ったグレーのシリコンスリーブが装着されています。アイスコーヒーにピントが合っており、背後のコーヒーメーカーや周囲の様子はわずかにぼやけています。近くの窓から差し込む夏の午後の光が、写真に温かみのある雰囲気を添えています。

glad you got things figured out after that, but you could probably use this anyway.

i've gotta stop overclocking myself. some of this was unavoidable. working on re-balancing and pacing myself. tomorrow's not looking great but i'll dial it back. haven't put anything on the other days yet.

😯✨

the Chobani Creations: Mocha Tiramisu (Greek yogurt cup), opened and the mocha sauce stirred around. inside the foil lid is the text:
“Lick the lid.
Stir your spoon.
Scrape the sides.
Say mmm.”

「チョバニ・クリエーションズ：モカ・ティラミス」（ギリシャヨーグルトのカップ）を開け、モカソースをかき混ぜてみました。アルミの蓋の裏側には、次のような言葉が書かれています。
「蓋をなめて。
スプーンで混ぜて。
カップの側面をすくって。
『ん〜』と言って。」

CJ@shortforcj· Jun 7

i haven't tried this, so i'm very excited ☺️ これ、まだ試したことがないので、すごく楽しみです☺️

something to take edge off. i'm drinking it straight from the bottle.

a nearly empty half-gallon bottle of Juicy Juice Berry flavored blend of 4 juices from concentrate, 100% juice (but diluted with water and some ice, so it is a light reddish color), no sugar added. the bottle is sitting on a kitchen counter with afternoon light coming in through a nearby window, and overhead lighting. only the bottle is in focus.

feeling a bit mentally lighter than i did when i posted this. (thanks. 🫶🏻) -- note re: below – for me, it's more overthinking than “feelings”. i have plenty of those readily available! but i guess overthinking traces back to feelings, too, so… ??? also: overthinking is an all-day activity for me. 🤷🏼

still frame from Doctor Who showing Jodi Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, looking downward, a bit despondently. companions surround her but they are cropped out or covered with an overlayed screenshot of a Tumblr text post so the focus is on her.

Tumblr text post by user "thebootydiaries" reads:
“every night after 10pm my feelings start crawling out, starved, as i beat them with a moderately large stick vigorously hissing
‘stay back’ until i inevitably fall asleep”
