Itโ€™s 11:30 and Iโ€™m finishing up an article with my baby sprawled out across me. I caught myself overly focused on being annoyed. But then I remembered Iโ€™ve prayed for years for this exact moment.

Lizzo lost me when she said she detoxes once a month. Please, for the love all things good in the world, stop buying into the capitalist impulses of diet culture. Unless you have a malfunctioning kidney liver or a different ailment, our ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ bodies ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ detox ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ themselves.

Pete Hegseth Wondering Whether Uranium Would Be A Good Mixer WASHINGTONโ€”Growing increasingly contemplative as he fantasized about a stiff drink after a long day at work, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly wondered Monday whether uranium might make a good mixer. โ€œI feel like it could bring out the more chemical notes of gin in a really nice way without overpowering it,โ€ said the Pentagon chief, [โ€ฆ]

The Isley Brothers. I say this at least once a month, and I just fell in love with EWFโ€™s writing as well. Oh and more modern, Jill Scott.

Never heard of it, and focus on color is seen as problematic in my circle. Itโ€™s been white people curious about what color my baby would be, and I donโ€™t see it as endearing. Also African typically isnโ€™t the same culturally as Black American.

Yesterday baby grabbed my hand when I reached back to calm her with a pacifier. She held it the whole ride. And this is the 1st time sheโ€™s done something new that didnโ€™t cause me to bawl my eyes out. Maybe her getting bigger isnโ€™t so scary.

Thatโ€™s really crazy. I have to look for my elderly neighbors bc the husband will sit and talk to anyone who walks down his driveway (which allows you to see directly in his house and garage)

In case you feel like your life isnโ€™t making sense, just know that I found a death certificate in my desk for someone I donโ€™t know. Anyway, happy nesting ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Has anyone ever fostered a cat that wanted to kill them? I feel bad for the cat thatโ€™s living in my sunroom but she lunges at the door trying to attack my kitten, and she tries to corner me when I go in to feed her. Iโ€™d like to work up to sitting on my own couch again w/ out the claws.

Spent today with Grammy Gram. She needed a microwave and I needed something tropical and cold. We have a Mexican ice cream place near us and this water ice made with real mango?? Made my whole afternoon.
