Sent an email to the 5k training group leader last night and got a very encouraging response so I’ll be going on Thursday.

The Kid is the best kid ever!!
🤣🤣🤣

The funny thing is that The Kid found him on Strava and while his 5k PR is okay it’s not outstanding. Especially compared to Jeff Galloway’s PR Marathon time (5 min 12.5 second mile). And Jake doesn’t have a PR for anything longer than a 10k so he’s not exactly an elite level runner. 🤣

Look at this face!!! 🥰

I forgot to do alt text for the image. So here it is again with alt text.

Of FFS. Respect for the sport of running? He is including 5k events in his little rant? Most 5k events are “fun runs” not serious races. They’re the entry point for a lot of people just getting into running and a ton of people sign up to walk them. Many of them are billed as run/walk events.

stupid tree would be so hard.

I’m listening to her favourite Christmas music and crying my eyes out.
November 16, 2025 at 7:14 PM
I did take a pause about halfway through to say good morning to these beauties!

I would have guessed he was around my age. I’m 21 years older than him. 😬

Morning! My neck is so sore from the salon yesterday and my lower back is extremely unhappy also.

But my hair is super cute so I’m happy! This pic is not great but I got a lot cut off and I love it!

Only working a half day today so I can get my hair done. Getting quite a bit cut off. It’s past my shoulders and I am just having a hard time dealing with that much hair. So I’m going back to this …

I did not actually complain the whole time. There was a good chunk of that time when I was too out of breath to complain. 🤣

But this is my fastest mile in at least a decade.
November 12, 2025 at 2:07 AM
So many of these …

And to save @seanherrala.bsky.social the trouble (note a distinct lack of people of any colour) …

Christmas trees are a pain in the ass. This fucker might just stay up forever. Should have gotten a pre-lit tree. My string of lights is at least twice what I actually needed.

I’m already tired and I haven’t even started with the ornaments yet.
November 10, 2025 at 6:34 PM
Oh FFS … She realizes she needs to apologize … 🙄🙄🙄🙄
November 10, 2025 at 2:06 PM
I’m not encouraged by this response to my email.

Come to Alabama! We have some cool weather heading our way!

Mom: It’s in the door.

Me: <light goes on> Mom, that’s not creamer. That’s Bailey’s. You know. The boozy kind.

Mom: Oh! No wonder I took such a good nap when I got home.

Both ‘Bel and my mom are gone now. If there’s an “after” for this life I hope they’re cuddling on a couch somewhere.

My favourite holiday season cocktail. 1 shot Stoli/Absolut Vanilla vodka and 2 shots Bailey’s.

These types have no idea what the political landscape is like here in AL (or anywhere outside of their bubble).

They’re also seriously misjudging Doug Jones’s political acumen.
November 9, 2025 at 3:06 PM
Yes!!🙌🏻 I hope he is going to run. There’s a campaign I’ll definitely do work for here in AL!!

But this fucking comment on that thread.

It was a sweaty humid walk. But it’s done. Jolene thinks I taste good. 🤣
