Well, this has been a fantastic day off connectivity! Chatting with new faces, and some familiar ones, has really put a smile on me. Now to fold the fresh laundry, and get myself to the gym!

Just flipped up the top on the jeep in the *nick of time* as thunderstorms and showers started to roll through. **GIVE US WATER KEEP THE ZAPS OFF OUR DRY-ASS TREES** 🤞

The kids are on it ✨🫶🏻 www.wweek.com/news/schools...

I dunno why it’s only hitting me *now* but back before AI, you’d see some REALLY STUPID/CRAZY shit on the internet (pics, art, etc) and you never paused your laugh or astonishment - you could simply believe what you saw. Now? We have to hold back, dampen, question, and withold. And it sucks.

I am so *sleepy* today. Cutting from 40oz of coffee (two 20oz mugs) to just one is…. NOTICEABLE

Thinking of my friends, and people affected by all of this… www.mprnews.org/minnesota-wi...

Why, yes… You’d wake up to the smells of fresh yummy food, rich coffee, gentle music, and get to snuggle up into this chest for a bit while you wake up and start your day. (I swear, I’m RIPE for the hitchin’)

As I work through my back/pull workout, I’m realizing that years of slouching are being addressed. I’ve held such long-term shame about the size and shape of my chest and stomach, and slouching seemed to hide those parts of me well enough. My body doesn’t need or deserve shame.

another potential 2-week pet/house sit for the end of August? yes! bonus: the canine in my care would be a BEAUTIFUL Great Dane and I’m HERE FOR IT

While I fully recognize most of my life is centered around health and wellness, it was a reel from The Log Splitter that reminded me of this: What am I doing all this lifting and eating better for? What is my WHY? It was a solid bit of questioning from a known insta celeb that I want to mull over

I have ignored my personal facebook account so long, I get auto-generated emails from Meta to entice me to come back. “ Friend X just posted! “ And all I can think of is around 2008/9 being on there CONSTANTLY… Now? I do *not* miss it at all.

2026 seems to be the year I’m learning how easy I am to love. And that I am worthy of love that makes me feel safe, desired, and just as I am. This was an impossible thought not long ago.

I have a day full of possibilities (and zero meetings). I think I’ll take myself on a small adventure. Stay tuned ✨

Do I watch the movie remake of one of my favorite Bachman Books stories, “The Long Walk”? I’m certain it’ll have the fate of almost every other movie version of SK’s writing… *presses play
