NGL, a giant icee tumbler of daiquiri sounds good right about now.

Insulated cup--not waxed paper--so it doesn't melt too quickly.

a tiny brown & tan chihuahua in a pink sweater is sitting, looking up at the camera. two white strands of hair stick out the top of her head. they’re curled into a perfect heart.

This is Lexa. She really hopes you’ll be her valentine. Wouldn’t want to waste this look on just anybody. 14/10 (IG: bambiandlexa)

we are making snowdrops in the workshop. on the supplies list she has 18 and 22 gauge wires.
people are asking about their different gauge wires.

There’s more to life than getting married and having kids for some people. We don’t all have to follow the same path.

And, yes, part of it was how my mom taught me about parenting or approached it as an option for me.

It’s all just choices.

Choose your own adventure.

A lot of what I’ve recently unpacked has nothing to do with an abusive parent. But it was more like being the child of a single parent that struggled.

But, you say, my story doesn’t have to be the same! Uh, men still leave. They die. Mothers are still treated like people who made bad choices.

I think one of the things people don’t consider when wondering why some women don’t want to have kids might be the fact that some of us didn’t have the kind of childhood that fostered a desire for kids.

I had baby dolls. But my Barbie wasn’t about that life. My interests don’t mix with motherhood.

Just because someone doesn’t feel safe enough around you to let you know that they exist doesn’t mean that they don’t.

I’m still chuckling about that cop who wrote a woman a ticket stating that he saw her with her cell phone in her right had.

Her right arm is amputated around her elbow.

I wanna be in the courtroom to see that one

Which means good luck to future me trying to make the same thing again.

Made shrimp and grits (polenta) for dinner with green beans.

It was very good.

I’m at the point now where when I cook something, I think more flavor profiles. What’s the base flavor that I want and what works with that.

It’s great because I come up with new dishes often, no recipe

Made peace?

I celebrate that decision whenever I become aware of it.

Like when my bestie and I were leaving Costco and there were lines of people down 3 sidewalks on a corner. I was like what’s going on, and the driver was like school pickup.

This must be on the outskirts of Silent Hill.

I think it will happen on camera. they'll cut to some feed, then gaslight us for as long as they can about what we saw.

so glad I wasn't serious about doing laundry today because that shit ain't getting done.

Post lunch:

the leftovers were fine, I was just expecting to eat something else. I guess I'll eat that tomorrow instead of today.

But in any event, if You haven't had lunch, why not? Go eat, get some water, text a friend.

anyway

so now it really is too hot to do much of anything, even this cookie dough I'm thinking about making

bring back winter please

I'll be taking my walks all week to take advantage of this heatwave, but really, it irks my soul.

It is so hot that it is insufferable in this house. I have windows open, and I'm 🤏 close to turning on the air con.

I reheated the wrong leftovers

had my mouth fixed for salmon

I pulled the shepherds pie out of the oven

I am so disgusted with myself

I guess tomorrow is Mardi Gras? last year it was in march. I can't keep up.

be moved to another room, a basket for laundry. The basket gets everything in each room, then put where your laundry goes. Do it another day.

Break down larger tasks into manageable tasks.

Assign a room to a day: living room on Monday, deep clean kitchen on Tuesday, laundry Wednesday, etc.

I’ll set timers. Clean do 20 minutes, rest for 10. Like hiit

I’ll ignore stuff instead of multitasking. If I’m putting away the recycling, I ignore other task until that’s done. Otherwise I’ll stay 6 tasks then get overwhelmed and stop.

Lock in on a room. A bag for trash, a basket for items to

I go through our little bag periodically, but I mostly keep soy sauce in there because I did run out that one time lol.

I am so sleepy and it’s not even 8:00.

I finished a small project and feel so good for having done so.

Black Residents Win Key Ruling in ‘Cancer Alley’ Environmental Racism Case The lawsuit could force a jury to decide if turning Black communities into sacrifice zones is a legacy of slavery.
