twice a day every day for the last two weeks I've passed by Gene & Jude's and I haven't gone in. now I am either headstrong in my will to eat healthy or a total and complete psychopath for not. multitudes, etc.

me: sorry, I'm all over the place today coworker: all good! seems like you're in your feelings a bit today, I get it me, obsessively, constantly, eternally deep within and dragged through my feelings at every moment of every day waking and asleep: totally!

the team I work with right now is mostly college kids and we're eating lunch today (I rarely speak) and they're talking about dinosaurs and which dinosaurs lived at what time on earth and one of them says out of nowhere "let's ask andrew, he was alive" and I audibly gasped

Chicagoland is just covered in wildfire smoke. I'm the only person who showed up at my current job because I suppose I'm used to it by now. at least this time my place of work didn't burn down lol

my kid was playing at a house yesterday with toys and another dad asked her if she brought those toys from her house and without looking up she just goes "we don't have a house anymore." absolutely brutal stuff. not untrue, but brutal lol
