Just really strange.
TIL my mom also has phantosmia, also known as olfactory hallucinations. I wonder if it's a coincidence, or genetics?

Come on, little bird. There are two nice juicy spiders on my window. Come eat them!

I found mid-rise jeans!

I have a very long torso. I do not need clothes that make it look longer, thereby making my legs look shorter.

Hint: when someone opens up to you and exposes an emotional wound they still carry, don't tell them that it never happened. You weren't there. You don't know. Saying they are lying or exaggerating is gaslighting.

Yoga is amazing.

Did about 30 minutes of gentle yoga, and I have more energy than I did when I started.

One think no one mentioned is how hungry I would be. I am constantly hungry. I am hungry before I eat, and I am hungry after I eat. If I do eat enough to feel full, I am hungry again 20 minutes later. It's no wonder women my age gain weight!

I am Gen X, and I am lucky enough to have Boomer role models who have shown me how to stop myself from becoming an idiot, or a racist.. basically from becoming a Republican.

If you love someone, set them free. Get a dog instead.

This could lead to WWIII. Nuclear retaliation. Trump is dangerous. He's a loose cannon.

So much walking! Way more than I am used to. So much that thr soles of my feet ached for hours last night. So much thst the short walk to our car this morning got my lower back aching. But we had such a good time! Almost home, now!

Another fun day, visiting various monuments (in the rain, without umbrellas) and the African American History Museum (do NOT miss this, if you are in DC).

Very sore, but looking forward to Peruvian food tonight!

National Air and Space Museum so much fun! Way bigger and more interesting than I remember from childhood. My legs are sore from all the walking we did today, but totally worth it!

Pete and I went to brunch. Maryland is much mote humid than Lancaster. The air was misting -- you know, not quite drizzling, but wet.

My hair is a mass of frizzy curls. I actually don't mind so much.

Phobias aside, I am not afraid of much.

I am afraid Fascism is going to win.

Looks like it's gonna rain on 47's parade.

I feel really bad for all the military in the parade. Marching in a thunderstorm can't feel good.

I do not care if you call me a lesbian.

I do not care if you call me transgender.

You seem to think these are insulting. They aren't.

Lancaster is flying a Pride Flag outside City Hall. Warms my heart.

When we moved on, my kitchen was brightly lit by seven overhead lights, which was great, because it has no windows. I am now down to one light. I can barely see.

I am going to blame my deteriorating eyesight on this forever.

Wow...we don't even have our balconies yet, and the building improvement committee is already looking into the first steps for the roof deck!

Pessimist: The glass is half-empty.
Optimist: The glass is half-full.
Me: Lemme just go top off my coffee!

Why can't I sleep?

Because I dreamed 47 held a press conference and announced he was the supreme ruler and laws no longer applied to him. Just came out and said it.

It was so real, and so frightening. Now I can't sleep.

Strangers are just D&D players I haven't met yet.

I have everything I need for a good night's sleep...except for the actual sleep, obviously.

Neighbor A: I like your dress.
Me: Thank you.
Neighbor B: It's a little witchy.
Me: I am not a witch!
All: *laugh*
Me: Rumors that I am a vampire are also untrue.
Neighbors: *look nervous*
Me: *creepy smile*

I like to keep them on their toes.
