saw my octo bff yesterday & i’m so sentimental i had three good, healing cries. plus, chores completed. elders have so much to offer. listen to & learn from their stories. let them know they’re seen. have patience. if we’re lucky we will one day be old.

You ever been in a room where there was an annoying noise, like a particularly loud AC or something, but you get used to it over time, and then it stops, and you can't believe how quiet everything is all of a sudden? It's gonna feel like that times a million.

so THAT’S why we never ate there as a family when i was a kid.
old advertisement for the ground round restaurant which touts “our kids’ meals are priced at 1cent  a pound!” and “bring your appetite!”

image depicts a young g child in pigtails and overalls standing on a scale which points to 50#. the scale reads “kids pay what they weigh”, which would’ve left my parents destitute.

had a decent cry because bernadette peters is turning 14 soon & is acting like a very old girl. i swear her eyes told me not to worry, but how. also, look how gorgeous she is.
brown and (mostly) white basset hound with long, light brown ears which feel like velvet. she’s looking off to the right, probably clocking the cats. she’s looking got big cow eyes and a huge shnoz on her long snout. she is perfect.

acupuncture at 1:30 courtesy of mke community accupuncture’s pay it forward program. some of my generous neighbors pay more for their treatment so people like me can go. its my first time using it, but today it felt necessary.🪡 super grateful.

tbf, it’s overcrowded now because the city sold much of the lakefront to condo developers, which is where many of these ebikes are coming from, i suspect. so that adds to my bitterness. y’all know i just get crabby. 🤷‍♂️
