Srague Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park.

I went for a mental health walk today and took so many photos and videos, my phone's battery died. The walk was, indeed, good for my mental health.

Spent yesterday afternoon hanging out with my best friends, drinking margaritas, perusing a quirky used bookstore, and pretending our country isn't a complete dumpster fire.

There are many things the current administration is doing that tick me off, but this has got to top the list.

A quick Google search will show you no one's becoming wealthy from being a park ranger, yet this is how we're saving money?

My cat is judging me for taking her photo. Every night, she comes and sits on the back of the couch behind me, but she did not appreciate her photo being taken this evening and skedaddled shortly thereafter.

Books I'm working on reading this month. (My cat did not appreciate being asked to pose with said books.) #books #cats

Put money on my younger son's lunch account.

Son, remembering when all public school kids got free school lunch during and after Covid: "When do we get free school lunch again?"

Me: "I don't know. Republicans are in office now, and they don't like feeding kids."

I wonder if this is the reason I ended up missing a piece.... I LOVES her too much to hold it against her if true. #cat #puzzle

We, the people, don't trust it, right?

Don't talk to me. I'm in mourning, and I will go back to being uninformed before I let mainstream media tell me what to believe. Land of the free, my ass.

My son: "We're reading The Odyssey at school."

Me, a former English major: "Oooh, The Odyssey; I've read it a few times. Whose translation are you reading? Samuel Butler's? Robert Fagles'? Or someone else's?

My son: "I don't know, Mom; it's just whoever's is in our textbook."

My therapist told me to find small ways to live more authentically true to myself. I went home, ate some chocolate, and took a nap.
