I started watching Castle Rock yesterday. It's been on my watch list for awhile, but I just learned that Melanie Lynskey is in it and since I'm hopelessly in love with her and need to see everything she's been in, it jumped to the top of my list. I have 2 episodes to go and hope to finish it tonight

Thank you Seahawks for having mercy on my stress levels by starting your blow out on the first play of the game.💙💚🙏

Looking forward to the start of S2 of Going Dutch tonight. I'm very happy, but frankly, surprised that it was renewed. It's not the kind of TV that dominates award shows, it's just great, silly fun and I like silly fun and I NEED the distraction of silly fun right now.

I have made the not-difficult-at-all decision to retire. 🥳🎉🍾
However, I can’t afford it yet,😞so I'm going to go do some work things.

I've been making my own kefir for a couple years, but this last batch smells off, not sour enough.
Haven't done my work from home stuff for 3 days because I haven't been feeling well and was all gung ho to get caught up tonight, but can't because QuickBooks is being weird and slow so I'll be....

After what feels like an eternity of research, I finally settled on a handful of therapists who seem like a perfect fit for me, and just spent the afternoon being rejected by one after the other. It’s either no openings or a wait list for my insurance (never heard that one before) or I don’t live…

Had 1 decent (cold, wind, but dry) day yesterday but now we’re back to our rain of biblical proportions, so no walkies this morning. Hashtag sad dogs but also happy dogs because they HATE the rain.

Woke up fine, then stress after an hour. My heart feels like a joy buzzer. I have to go to the store, the beach (dog walk) and then work for a few minutes this morning. Maybe once I'm safely at home watching football all day, I'll feel better. I think I just don't want to go out into the ugly world.

I put toothpaste on my cotton pad instead of my acv toner. Those 2 fantastic NFL games today must have really wore me out. I hope the rest of the playoffs are just as exciting.

I just tried to send pictures (from my phone) to my claims adjustor and sent them to myself. How did I do that? I swear I "replied" to his email. I am such a techno-no-nothing!
On the other hand, I made a peanut sauce from scratch that was like candy! I was trying to follow a recipe for sesame...

Protest in town today, anti-ice and honoring Renee Good. I’m always surprised at the number of people who come to these things for such a small area. Warms my heart and gives me hope to know so many people give a shit.

Had a repeat of what sent me to ER 3 mths ago, except not as bad. Instead of almost an hour of coughing up blood and trying to breathe when my lungs want to stay locked in the full inhale position, it was only a couple minutes. And since the hospital would just hook me up to an IV of high powered...

Considering recent events, things are actually going pretty well and there's no reason to think that it's not going to keep getting better, yet I have this horrible sense of impending doom that I cannot shake and it's driving me insane!

It was light and not raining so we drove to the beach to hopefully walk, but I don’t think so with what looks like something out of a Stephen King novel coming in from the ocean. 🙁

One little bright spot, it occurred to me today that, 3 mths out of ER, my cough is finally dying down, phlegm isn't constantly collecting at the back of my throat, and I'm more alert - I'm not blanking out as much & it's been several days since I've needed to sleep all day after sleeping all night👍

New crush - Domhnall Gleeson. I'd seen him in Star Wars, Harry Potter and Black Mirror, but never really noticed him. Then the other night The Paper was on and I was bored. I didn't realize it's in season 2 already. It seems like just yesterday I was seeing ads for it as a new show, and I wasn't...

Whoa! BTS is coming out with a new album a few days before Mom's birthday and tour dates are being announced in another week or so.
It's hard to feel excited because too much life is happening lately and I'm overwhelmed and over-stressed.
And I doubt they'll come to Portland, Seattle, or....

I closed my eyes, waited for my intuition to tell me the right moment, hit the print screen button and got hopeful. I did the exact same thing a 2nd time and got this. So I guess HOPEFUL really is my theme for 2026.

Thank the Heavens Josh Groban’s 2026 tour isn’t coming anywhere near Portland, Seattle or Vancouver BC otherwise I would want to buy a ticket I can’t afford and the torment would eat me alive

Did more Christmas shopping for my babies. Ordered 3 coats from Chewy- a raincoat for my boy and an extra nice (ie more $$$ than I really wanted to spend) puffy coat for each of them. One is iridescent! I dug out Zeke's (RIP💔) old raincoat and luckily it fit my girl, so I saved a little money there.
