Some neighbors of mine dress up this massive skeleton like it’s a concrete porch goose. 🪿 This costume is a little too close for comfort… #handmaids #ImNotCryingYou’reCrying #ugh

Happy New Year! Excited to start 2025 at fighting weight after a 60 pound loss with #GLP1 #Mounjaro and #Peloton. More energy, off several meds, and feeling like I shaved years off my age.
