I realized just now at 11pm that all I’ve eaten today is a bagel & a pupusa. I’ve only drank half a coffee & maybe 16 oz of water. I’m exhausted. It’s been non-stop for days. My entire body hurts. I don’t care right now. I’ll worry about food tomorrow. Good night 😴
Happy Friday, all. Have been quite busy recently...for a good cause, so no complaints. Having a quick bagel then headed out for more errands. Have a safe day. Be kind.
I am so, so tired. Last night was a blast, but staying out til 2am is no longer my jam. I’m ready for bed & it’s not even 5:30 🤣
Home safe & sound at 2am. I had a lot of fun dancing the night away 💃 When I wake up, I’m sure my legs will remind me how old I am 😂
I have started my evening with locking myself out of the house 🤦🏽♀️
Wearing proper make-up for the first time in years. Unsure if I look like a clown or a hooker. Maybe a hooker clown 🤪
I went girl shopping yesterday w/my future DIL & her fam for sexy clothes 😳 to wear Ladies Night tonight 😉 Much credit to them for knowing how to shop sales; my entire fit was only about ~$50 from Macy's! They've got me way outside of my social comfort zone...pray for me 😂 JK - I'm having a blast!
No electricity is a crappy start to a four-day weekend. It’s been out since midnight due to severe storms & may not come back until after lunch. My parents are trapped in their neighborhood by a downed tree. I somehow slept right through it all! It can only get better from here, right?! 😉
Happy Sunday 🙂 Didn’t visit my parents this weekend & it’s throwing me off. My mom asked that I not come over because my son has been sick. Even though I’m not sick, she worried I might be a carrier of his germs. They’re older so get it. I respected her wish. Just kinda sad now. 🫤
Returned from our walk & Kylo picked up something out of the yard to bring inside. I saw a tiny foot 🫢 Grabbed a treat to entice a trade (it worked). Went back out to see what he dropped. A baby bunny 😢💔 Also, locked myself out of the house. Woke up my son up to let me in. I'm going back to bed.
I already have weird dreams & nightmares. Maybe watching The Last House before bed wasn’t a great idea 😂
Woke up to my pc being off instead of in sleep mode (how my son left it last night). It won’t power back on. Let the troubleshooting begin 😞
“Why does your dog have a f*cking turtle?” is not a question one expects to hear when we are inside. Yet, sat on the sofa was Kylo…proudly guarding a turtle tightly tucked in its lightly scratched shell 🤷🏻♀️ 🤦🏽♀️ It has been safely relocated to a shady spot under a tree outside our fence 🐢 Le sigh 😔
Congratulations to my niece & her husband on their wedding 💕
good morning! a nice, if cloudy, day here in the DMV for my niece's wedding💍⛅ i'm still around, mostly avoiding social media & news becuz the USofA sucks right now. haven't played Sims in months; instead have been playing Guild Wars 2. family & pets are well. hope you all are well! be kind 🤗

Happy rainy Saturday ☔️ Kylo tried to bring home a new Eastern Box Turtle friend during today’s walk, but he’s a good boy who dropped it quickly on command. I went back alone & moved it out of the road & back to its original spot at the edge of the woods.
it’s out of focus, but I had a bumble bee visiting one of my hanging baskets 😊🐝
Yuji is a strange cat. I just filled his water bowl & he drank from it. Then he moved to the kitchen to drink from the dog water bowl. Why both? 😅
today was kind of a dud of a holiday & I’m ok with that 😏 At least I had a nice dinner with family 😊
gaggle of geese & a straggler. the straggler may be the widower that’s been living in my dad’s yard.
hazy, grey skies today. the young ones were out kayak fishing but came back when they heard thunder. my younger son switched to fishing from the pier for now.
just had to chiggidy-check myself... I was angry that my son wanted breakfast, which meant go to the store, cook, clean. I copped a 'tude. then people started showing up at my neighbor's to prep for our small-town parade today. She lost her son last year. I should be thankful mine are still here 😔
It looks like the Windows Ransomware protection is blocking Sims 4 again (possibly cause more users were switch to memory boost). If you have any issues with mods not enabling, pop-ups showing up over and over, check if it blocks: crinrict.com/blog/2020/10...

It's barely after 7am & it's already too damned hot & humid outside. 28C/81F 🥵 (the "feels like" is 32C/89F) We just finished Kylo's walk & now I feel gross & he drank an entire bowl full of water. 👇 If you're also affected by the heatwave 👇

I do not understand the GW2 economy. It seems illogical that it's more expensive to craft armor than it is to buy it. I would think they would want to encourage crafting 🤔 I'm not spending 20 gold to make exotic armor every time a character levels up instead of buying it for 10. Ridonculous 😑
looks like it'll be an inside day 🥵
Another scorcher w/ extreme heat warning in place. Highs about 100-105. Heat index 110-plus this afternoon. More of the same for the Fourth. Iso storm late today, better shot tomorrow. Take it easy, stay hydrated, and limit exposure. (Photo by Jeanne Stuart McVey)
Happy Friday, Bluesky 🌞 I'm up early on a holiday because cat, dog, son's alarm (in that order). Kylo has been walked, I have coffee, & laundry is started. Gonna sneak in some GW2 before the rest of the gang awakens. My sons are playing WoW again (won't last), so I'm back to sharing my pc for now 😑
