I started drafting this post on 5/4. Here we are on 5/17, and last weekend's post is nowhere in sight. My brain is a sieve and I have used this blog for so long to tell my own self what I did that week that when I don't I feel untethered. We can only do what we can do though. Good reminder.
An impromptu sleepover at Laura's at the beginning of the month thanks to a late scheduled work meeting that's 20 minutes from her house and would have taken me over two hours in the morning. So nice to have facetime with my forever BFF.
A test at Target since I have stopped purchasing items at stores that are under lock and key. Everything under lock and key pisses me the fuck off. Preference to living in a country that values individual people over corporations and has a federal minimum wage people can fucking live on. Fucking soap that costs $6.49 locked up in a state with a $7.25 an hour minimum wage. Get fucking real, Target. Allegedly secured shelves keep products in stock so I can complete my Target run, during which I wasted over five minutes after hitting the sensor to activate and had to call the fucking store for someone to unlock access to a $6.49 pack of Dove. Sure, maybe people shouldn't steal. But maybe we shouldn't make things so unlivable and hopeless that they feel that that's the only or easiest option
Star Wars Day AKA May the Fourth is also the birthday of Billy Hicks, munchkin cat dog extraordinaire
Picked up a few bags at the Ocean City block party and laughed my ass off the entire time - you can find these and more here
No, YOU called the manufacturer of your morning face wash when you couldn't find it anymore and had them open a case on it to see if it was being discontinued then had a mourning period for it when it was like an unhinged person
Back on the monthly pedicures. Still on the monthly massage at Blossom. Need to get back to monthly chiro and acupuncture. Annual mammogram and skin check both coming up. Minding my mental health by taking care of these things, holding my boundaries, looking at the world without the lens of a screen, and peacing out when I need to.
Shore scenes: a bay sunset, the painting our old neighbor Paul did for us, and the boardwalk before the season frenzy begins. We were supposed to have family down this weekend but are leaning fully in to prep for our first renters on Memorial Day weekend. Our first rental always comes hurtling toward us like a freight train. I have many things I'd like to get done before I leave the shore Tuesday or Wednesday. Our Lady of Victory, pray for us
Philly scenes - I was out and about taking pics for work yesterday and it was glorious.
This about sums up my in-home eating recently. Not in the mood to make meals that are balanced and amazing. I am on the throw a bag of frozen veg in with ramen train at the moment and that's fine.
The sunset reflected in my door was a spot of unexpected beauty
Survived the dentist yesterday, rewarded myself with a new pair of Birkenstocks for our upcoming trip
Random t-shirts of the day and nails
The Ben and Billy show
Dinner with Mom for Mother's Day Monday. We also stopped at DSW & Nordstrom Rack so I could return some shit. It was a nice night out together!
Dinner with Melissa last night at Glory Beer Bar & Kitchen. The grilled octopus was magnificent. A nice night to sit outside and catch up.
For your review:
How to not get arrested after killing someone in public; Fascism in Florida: what DeSantis is signing in to law should make you run very fucking far from him in a national office, even if you do identify as republican; Judy Blume's Unfinished Endings;

I think that's the extent of the dump for this go round. The carnival is in town this week and so am I and I am unwell. There is no parking to be had and it is fucking mayhem
Fuck these idiot people on the debt ceiling too.
Bye.
