Calm under the waves
I am really grateful for the friends I've made here. Our super crafty friend had us over to make porch pots today.

Is this a Midwest thing? I'd never seen a porch pot before I moved here.

There are two end of year parties that are happening tonight. Since they keep getting scheduled on the same night, the polite thing for me to do is decline both invitations.

That means extra bonnet time in bed while watching movies.

I picked up a novel and a romance novel at the library this week. I'm so excited to read good fluff.

I've tried to make sure I'm reading things that are important and help me learn about things I don't know. I feel like I have SO MANY blindspots, but my brain needs a break.

HEAs for the win!

Really liked #WakeUpDeadMan. Now to hope this and Glass Onion eventually get physical releases. It's surprising, especially since Rian is a fan of physical media.

I just finished Bad Company by Megan Greenwell and now I'm in need of a blood pressure pill. Private equity ruins everything.

I was thinking about doing takeout for turkey but I think I decided to make baked ziti instead. I'm slightly nervous as I live in a land that has seemingly no Italians, which means no salumerias nearby. We'll see how this goes.

Shout out to past me for putting in the work.

I was using my work phone today and was sending a message to my team that I was "getting coffee then omw".

Very glad I looked before hitting send as the message said "getting off then omw". I would have been sent straight to HR.

It's been three weeks and my knees have not forgiven me yet.
Sitting here booking hikes like I haven't taken every opportunity in the last 6 months to lie horizontally in my bed when given the chance.

I have been busy every weekend this month. I need recovery in November.

I had an absolutely fantastic girls weekend with my college friends and we started this. I'm not usually one for true crime but this has been really good. J. Smith Cameron was in the premiere!
I got obsessed with this insanely twisted story of southern family dynasty, narcissistic enmeshment & affluenza when the documentaries came out and the miniseries is really excellent so far!!

Banff was awesome.

This has been the longest month ever. The last 4 weeks have been BEYOND.

I bought comfort lobster mac and cheese for dinner.

This French Press isn't going to make itself...

It's 90 degrees this weekend and I'm craving tuna mac casserole. This is winter comfort food. Not even looking for tuna mac salad, I want the warm stuff.

Am I going to have to make it?

I know they say the phones don't listen to us, but over the weekend my friend mentioned a clothing company I'd never heard of & their jeans. She said they fit her curves, felt like butter, but were $$$, so she didn't buy them.

I've seen two ads for this company on ig since she told me that story.

At the gate and overheard two middle school teachers speaking about the lesson plans they've been doing with their 7th and 8th graders. You could hear how much they cared about their students and the efforts they were making to teach them history.

Pay raises for teachers NOW.

May arrives. I feel lighter. I'm doing meal prep and taking walks outside because the sun is finally out. I *want* to workout.

I couldn't find motivation with GPS and a magnifying glass a month ago. These last few weeks I've been the energizer bunny.

I don't understand. 😕

To see Dapper Dan be revered on the carpet tonight (and in the Vogue Issue) is making me want to cry.

He deserves this.

I just sat a restaurant bar and had a burger that absolutely hit the spot. I watched the bartenders make so many old-fashioneds. I had iced tea. Nothing like a bar menu and a good book. 😊

Sometimes I listen to music from the 80s & 90s and my stomach hurts from the nostalgia. I figure it's some type of anxiety response that makes this happen & there are some memories tied too tightly to the music to ignore.

I can only listen to snippets of some songs. Nostalgia is a powerful beast.
