The feels like temp is 96 degrees and the guy with dementia is so warm but also insists on sitting outside in jeans.

Being the chaos you want to see in the world! Caregiver, baker, writer, happiest person you will ever meet.
Went over to the bakery to order a cake for next weekend and it was crowded. There was a couple waiting to taste wedding cakes and he said to her; “Do you have your card? You are paying for the wedding but I’m paying for everything else.” Then, blocking the cashier stood a woman all in beige
Be the chaotic grandmother you want to see in the world:
Yesterday I shampooed my hair with some lemongrass stuff and now my scalp is sweating so much that I would crawl the almost a mile to Jasmine Thai for some noodles.
My sister left Michigan and it corrected left but also my sister’s politics are fine, it’s the rest of her that is problematic.
Is everyone enjoying today, the 17th day of the week?
They need to make over ear headphones with flip down sunglasses to eliminate the ear pinch of having the sunglasses compressed. Call them FlipPhones™️. Pay me royalties.
I’m sitting after finishing the front lawn and a breeze that felt like it came from the ocean hit me and I love you for sending it to me whoever you are.
That time I had an impromptu dinner with Jazzy’s Australian but living in London and stuck in Toronto while Heathrow was on fire manager. Lol, life is random and also delivers. music.apple.com/us/album/can...

The BusyBody™️ has pointed out that the drawstring on my shorts has gone rogue and you know what, f her.
The guy with dementia keeps messing with the bathtub drain latch and this will be my undoing. He’s also asked me to help him remember our grandson’s name which is way worse.
Last night I had the weird experience of having my son in law’s former best friend, think every holiday and birthday together for over a decade, look right through me without a flicker of recognition. I am unsure if this was just that I’ve evolved into looking different or if it was deliberate.
Good morning! I slept but not as consistently as I would’ve liked to. Artpark involves a lot of stairs, which is good but also a lot for my hip. Today I will stretch and maybe soak, although it does look like today will be very warm. I do have an opportunity to go to
I’m home and in bed after a lovely evening but I’m still thinking about the couple ahead of me in the merch line earlier where the guy held each shirt up and slowly inspected it inch by inch and then approved of each item before they each bought 2 shirts in 4 separate transactions.
Leaving! Need to check in Joanne and then get my girls. Photos complicated by my necklace but I’m complicated.
As much as I’m going to miss my bestie who will pick up the phone if ever I need her, I’m going to miss my girlfriend Thelma and her hedgehog.
Fucking Bitch@robin-tibochi.bsky.social · yesterdayMy dog is sleeping over at her other human’s tonight, so I thought I would gather her toys and preparation for the move. I left out her favorites, but I thought I would bag the rest to be washed when we get to our new place… I have a full contractor trash bag that’s nothing but dog toys. 😱
As excited as I am to see Tori Amos this evening, I’m equally excited to see Bartees Strange open. His album Horror has been on repeat since it came out and this song is on my super duper faves list for a while. There better be merch! music.apple.com/us/album/sob...

I have discovered that the bread machine was the property of his late wife who died 19 1/2 years ago and it was not at all new. Ugh.
Joan McGuire@joanmcguire.bsky.social · 4d agoI’m not at home but the annoying neighbor guy across the street, who saw me leave, called to ask me if I wanted a brand new bread machine in a box that had been in his basement for over a decade. Um, no.
I saw Joanne briefly and she enjoyed a scone for breakfast and was eating a cookie I brought her yesterday and she will have the bologna I got her in a fried bologna sandwich later and also she’s sitting in her dark house mostly alone* today and please, assisted living place, call her.
The guy with dementia is unboxing a new Wolfman Lunch Box and he chopped up the outer box like this is an actual horror movie.
I have a phone call scheduled this morning with my literary agent and I’m going to ask her if for my next book it can just be a scone cookbook and I bet she says no but it’s worth a try.
If my scones get 5k likes, I’m going to do something chaotic*. * like show you a baking fail
Good morning! Slept so, so well. Sort of a catch up sleep. I dreamed I went early to Artpark but forgot to pick up my two friends that I’m definitely picking up today. Then I couldn’t get my phone to open and it was all very weird. And now I’m waking up to see that I am the most popular girl
