This White Sox / Yankees game is wild. Going to the 12th! #whitesox

Fell asleep the moment I got home yesterday. Woke up for a bit, doing my #music post, and sleeping again. So as not to harsh the sleep vibe, here's a track I just discovered from 23 years ago. Excellent video with puppetry. UK's I Monster is apparently still an ongoing project. youtu.be/BBhDaVg1E6Y

Beach Day! With my sis, the nieces, a couple of friends, some strange strawberry peach rosé bubly that never would’ve occurred to me to buy, warm but not too hot. And my internet is down anyways so I don’t even feel like I should be doing work. :) #lakelife #beachday #lakemichigan #stjoe

Lake Michigan sandy beach with people laying about, POV shot showing feet submerged in the sand.

Costco managed to deliver to my door right after the tornado passed, while the street leading in to my neighborhood was closed due to flooding. I appreciate reliable service and all, but that just can’t be a good thing right? Maybe we can be a bit more chill about delivery delays 😬

Very strange day today, culminating in losing power for several hours after a tornado came through the area. My town has a lot of downed trees and some roofs were damaged, but no one was hurt as far as I know. Thoughts are with Appleton and Menasha Wisconsin 💜 #tornado #weather

Debris in a park after a tornado went through nearby. This is a children’s doll with a broken head and stuffing coming out of it.

A downed tree sprawled across a yard in front of a home.

Out for my walk and someone did a little honk when they passed by me from their car. I could barely see their silhouette waving at me behind the tinted window. I waved back and will have to live with the fact that I may never know who it was. 👋🤷‍♀️ (But I think we all know it was Frank)

The Sox are on record saying they hope to become Japan’s favorite American League team with Munetaka Murakami the way the Dodger’s are Japan’s favorite team with Shohei Ohtani. The Muneshot Sushi Push-Pop is a bold move Sox. #whitesox #chicago www.instagram.com/reel/DbJAgXz...

Fam’s first Dungeon’s & Dragons sesh was a success. It took us a while to figure things out, lots of us newbies, but it’s now officially a thing. 8 of us ranging from teenagers to 50 yr olds, one person remote. 🏹 #dnd #dungeonsanddragons

Ope, saw my pal Frank on the trail this morning. He said he missed me and gave me a root beer hard candy while apologizing for already eating the strawberry kind that I clearly like. I love older people.

She did a company-wide presentation on the show and it was amazing. We’re both pretty good at picking out who will be the first to go and the last to leave based off the first episode. Tip: every season seems to have an overconfident ex-military man. Dont place your long-term bets on him. #alone

I bonded with a coworker from my last job over our mutual love of the show “Alone”, and we now have the kind of friendship where we won’t talk for 8 months and then as soon as a new season drops, we’re talking every week. 😆 Who says midlife friendships are hard?? They’re just DIFFERENT.

Broke away from my Mexican & Mediterranean meal prep meals for some Thai peanut sauce chicken quinoa bowls. Need a little variety this week. #foodprep #dinner #cooking #mealprep

Chicken and veggies mixed with peanut sauce stored in two open storage containers. A container of cooked quinoa is behind them.

Cottage cheese and banana is a new craving I never would’ve guessed, but it’s strong these days

Making birthday plans with some of my fav people is always a lot, especially when your twin is your complete opposite. 👯 We debated 10+ restaurants over 2 days. I even pitched The Wiener Circle and got vetoed. Apparently we're doing something "nice" instead. #Chicago

From what I'm seeing in my feeds, Taco Bell is failing up. They served Cyclospora-tainted lettuce across multiple states, and people are praising them for "voluntarily" pulling it. Can't wait for the next outbreak so we know who's REALLY committed to food safety. #tacobell

Woke up and immediately thought, “Oh no, I can’t deal with people peopling today” so got outside-the-house chores done as early as possible while the masses are still in robes. Every green light was on my side. Groceries obtained within 25min. Bam! No people today unless they break-in.

The phrase "out of an abundance of caution" irks me more than it probably should, but it's on par with calling something "soiled." It somehow makes everything sound worse than it needs to.

Skylines obscured by smoky haze, as seen from Montrose Harbor and Montrose Beach this morning

Boats in a harbor with a hazy gray sky in the distance

Looking across a beach: High-rise buildings are barely visible in a gray haze.

Was supposed to get on the river today with friends but they were concerned it’s too hot. ☀️ I personally wasn’t worried about that part, but the wildfire smoke is an issue so it’s for the best. Out doing my morning walk and the haze is notable. 🔥 #chicago
