Smash the patriarchy. Eat the rich. Pet the dogs. She/her/hers.
If you don't have one of these, you should get one. They'll take you to your medical appointments, tie your shoes when you can't bend forward after a hip injection, and then get you a warm cookie from Costco.

Boob smash ✔️
I AM SO TIRED OF MY OWN FUCKING EMOTIONS! DO WE HAVE TO FEEL EVERYTHING AT AN 11, BRAIN??!?!! I want off the rollercoaster.
We are halfway through 2026 and Ziggy and I had not been to the beach yet this year. We remedied that today. Sixteen years old and still the happiest, zoomiest beach boy.
I MET A PUPPY! We went to a friend's house and they had just adopted this young lady a few hours prior. She was so soft and so sweet. Don't tell Ziggy.
I MADE A FOUNTAIN! Andy wanted a fountain for his office, so I made this for him. It's not perfect, but it's good.
Alert from our bank: "Earn 3% APY when you open an high yield savings account and deposit $25,000 within 30 days." WHO TF ARE YOU TALKING TO?!?!! You can see how much money we have! $25K!?!??
There was something going around recently about "what's better now than it was 40 years ago." Medical technology: CPAPs, laparoscopic surgery, allergy meds, asthma meds, insulin pumps, MRIs, statins, DNA, mRNA, cochlear implants, safety needles and PPE.
An unexpected CPAP bonus: My allergies are much decreased. I used to take my allergy meds before bed because I had so much trouble breathing at night. I would usually still wake up all clogged and congested.
Proof of life. 😂 This was really just an experiment to soothe my anxiety to brain to make sure I could rescue Andy if the need arises. The fact that he now knows I can drag his body is just a bonus.
What are we doing on a Saturday night? Well, I just tested and verified that I could drag an unconscious Andy out of the house in case of a fire.

Scrolling through real estate listings and... wtf?
25 year old me feeling like I've been hit by a bus because I went to the bar. 45 year old me feeling like I've been hit by a bus because I went to Barre.
I signed up for a fitness class and received six (6!) emails and three (3!) text messages. I really wish people with secure attachments styles were in charge.
It's the summer of salads. Dense bean. Pasta. Chicken. I need things I can make in batches and eat for a week without having to warm them up. What's your favorite?
Welp, I peed on my child today. I stepped off trail for a moment, Ziggy was a little bit ahead with Andy, he came running to check on me and ran right through my stream. Then he had to have a bath when we got home. It's been a traumatic day all around.
