Do you have string lights decorating your porch? I am looking for multi colored ones that I can control from Google. Any suggestions of ones you like? I have looked into GE, Govee, Monster, and Brighttown. AT some point they start blending together, lol. And they all have good and bad reviews.

Halloween lights are out and on. Love it! And soon Christmas lights will be out! I love the yard and porch all lit up.

I just noticed that the Hawk Tuah girl is "famous" now. Seriously? Here I am, writing books, using a talent I have, and am daily trying to get followers. It's a struggle. And she says one line, and now she's internet famous? I'm going to assume she makes more money than anyone I know.

Anyone else feel like CVS is going to buy every single pharmacy, and be the last man standing? I don't like not having choices. I remember when Target bought all the photo studios, then closed them all (even Target!) It's a slippery slope...

Apparently I hit the wall yesterday. I slept almost all day, made dinner, then slept all evening. I feel like I could sleep all day today too. I will be paying closer attention to what I am eating. Maybe too much yuck/sugar/carbs? I just feel ick too. Maybe it's a cold?

Authors: are you using online boards? Or paper/board ones? What ones are just plug and design? #authorsky #booksky

I wanted to try vision boards for each of my new book ideas... I am really a print out/write on with a pen kinda person. I don't do online planners, etc. But I thought online vision board, okay. I can use photos I find online. BUT, I feel 800yrs old as I try to create one! #authorsky #booksky

Yep, I'm totally a fight or flight response person. Even getting shots in my knees had me in a panic (and I almost passed out the first time)

Trying to be a "big girl" this morning... πŸ€ͺHaving health testing this afternoon. I'm a big baby, and would totally postpone/cancel, except it's the only thing that will help me in the long run. It's not even invasive apparently! But I'm still ready to run...lol #perimenopause #ladyissues

Anyone use #ThreadUp ? I don't have fancy name stuff, lol. More like Torrid, Lane Bryant, and Walmart. I've put some of my clothes on Poshmark with no luck. (funny, bc that's where I bought some of them from!)

I do love Brick on #GH. I wish he was on more. I think Brick should be Sonny's successor, lol. He really plays the part! Brick could totally run Port Charles! #GeneralHospital

Incase you ever need this answer, they only sell cans of Liquid Death and they are $8.

I know I sound cranky. But I'm just looking for quiet. I need to rewatch a Zoom that I missed most of the other night due to things being too noisy and busy around me. πŸ™ƒ seems like that hasn't changed...

Why is it so hard to find a quiet spot today? Football is on inside, the cat kicked me out of the office area, and outside is SO noisy today! The A/Cs are especially loud today, and there is a generator, rotatiller, or pressure washer somewhere. Whatever that is, is on every weekend lately.

I don't like that idea....lol. But you are so right.

It's crazy how spending the day with an 8yr old exhausts you, LOL. I wish I had that kind of non-stop energy.

Any Western Pennsylvania peeps here? I am curious how much water typically is at concerts at Starlake Ampitheatre? How about food? #Starlake #PavilionatStarlake

Not knocking vets, but WHY does it have to cost $300 for bloodwork (that's a car payment), and, more to the point, WHY won't they do payment plans? Especially for folks who aren't eligible for the CARE card.

Our cat scared me this morning. He takes random seizures and is on meds for that. But this morning (5am) he had an unusual one, that was equally scary. Fine afterwards, like usual. Guess it's time to try to save up for updated bloodwork.

I'm at the age where I'm starting to say, "I did that before it was cool" a lot, lol.

Funny how we do things for our pets that we wouldn't normally do. I have an empty box taking up too much space in my living room because MY CAT LIKES IT. We even added a second box to it.

Trying to be consistent in my workouts. I'm a work in progress. A typical week for me is 3 days of 20min workouts on average. Sometimes I manage 4 days. I feel like I don't do enough, then I remember this time 18months ago, I was working out ZERO times a week. So...progress.

Anyone else have neighborhood hawks? I think we have about 6. But today is unsettling, lol. I swear they are triangulated in trees around our street, and they are squaking back and forth... like, what are they plotting? Lol πŸ˜‚
