So I'm in the bathroom at work, minding my own business. I'm the ONLY one in there; I know I'm the only one there because I set off the motion lights. Plus... I checked.

THE FAUCET CAME ON BY ITSELF. ๐Ÿ˜ถ

I've watched too many horror movies. Finished up, washed my hands, got the hell out.

Sitting at work today (actually in the office and not WFH) like I wasn't just chilling in Nevada yesterday is wild.

Today is my first day back from vacation and I've just taken 2 meetings and have not even had coffee yet. *sigh*

A double rainbow reminds us that sometimes life rewards us twice over when we least expect it. The first arc symbolizes clarity and promise, while the second, more subtle arc, is a gentle reminder of the unexpected blessings that await us. ๐ŸŒˆ

Such a perfect way to end Pride Month.

It takes me time & a half to watch a movie at home because my family don't know how to leave me the f**k alone.

Movie runtime 1 hr 42 mi. Started at 3. Finished at 630.

I had the luxury of sleeping until noon today.
Did I have stuff I was supposed to do? Yep. But my mental health and rest was more important than whatever was supposed to be happening.

I'm going to need the cat that is in *my* office to stop side-eyeing me for waking her up every time I'm in a meeting. You have a whole house to sleep in; *you* picked this room, ma'am.

Is my mental health the greatest right now? No.

Am I doing anything to fix it? Also no.

I need to get better at taking my meds, y'all.

Woke up to 3 of my cats yelling at me for no reason. If that's not a sign to go back to bed, I don't know what is.
