No debt. Perfect weight. 8 hours of sleep. Great mental health. Healthy food. No alcohol. That was my peak. I was 8 years old.

Why do they call these tiny candy bars "fun size?" There's nothing fun about opening 7 wrappers.

Just watched the entire season premier of #Dateline without being on my phone, just like they did on the Mayflower. #That'sSomeGoodTV @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social

Ever since my first real job, I knew that I wanted to be retired.

My doctor told me to take my new medicine on an empty stomach. I didn't have the heart to tell him that my stomach hasn't been empty since around 2015.

Whenever a car waits for me to cross the street, I wave and walk across while pumping my arms, as if I'm hurrying, because I need them to think, "Wow, what a stellar pedestrian."

My son saw a fly in his room, so he brought the bug zapper in from the patio and closed the door and filmed the execution. In case anyone's looking to critique my parenting skills...

To the person who's aimlessly walking in the parking lot, looking for their car they parked ten minutes ago... you are my people.

When I'm an old lady, I'm gonna leave snacks in little bags on the floor all over the house, in case I fall down.

When I was a teen, I could load film into a camera, program and connect a VCR, repair cassette tapes with a pencil, and jump start my car using a hill. Now, I'm like, "I don't get how to use this credit card tap thingy."

Last night, I wanted to drink coffee. This morning, I'm drinking coffee. Don't give up. Follow your dreams...

🌴✨🦋 Kathryn 🦋✨🌴 @kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com · 11/08/2026

If we're drinking and I say that I can do a somersault, stop me. Because no, I can't.

1) Text yourself a link because it's the quickest way to get it onto your phone. 2) Get excited when your phone buzzes... completely forgetting you're the one who texted yourself.

How to care for cast iron: 1. Clean it. 2. Dry it. 3. Oil it. 4. John three online groups to ask if you cleaned it correctly. 5. Receive 847 conflicting answers. 6. Begin questioning your life choices. 7. Oil it again, just to be sure.

PSA: I *almost* got got. 😑 Received a DM offering a shiny new Bluesky verification badge. Very exciting. Very flattering. Very fake. It links to a phishing site designed to collect login credentials. Sharing screenshots so nobody gets snagged. Stay diligent! Report. Block. Mock relentlessly.

My biggest challenge is the fact that I only like salads when they're made by other people and cost me $15.

Reminder of the day: Sometimes you've just gotta let karma fix it, because if you fix it, you're going to jail. (And I don't have bail money, FYI) Proceed...

I'm thinking I'll have an omelette for lunch tonight. I'll season the eggs with some oil, sugar and maybe some chocolate, and then I'll throw in some flour, for texture. Eating healthy is a piece of cake.

The day when I yell, "WHERE IS MY PHONE?" and it yells back "DOWN HERE IN THE COUCH!" then it would really be a smartphone.

Last night, I practiced self care by eating cinnamon toast crunch in bed and letting the sugar crumbs in my sheets exfoliate my skin. It's called multi-tasking.

There are only four things certain in life: 1. Death 2. You'll always be low on gas when you're running late 3. Your smoke detector battery will only die at 2:13am 4. The typo will only reveal itself after you hit send.

A quick personal note: Please forgive my sporaticness, (Evidentially NOT a word, but it is if I say it is) in posting of late. My BP keeps spiking. I wonder why?? 🤔 Anyway, doctor's trying to bring it down. So, I may be spotty or intermittent for a bit while we figure it out. 💙 you guys~

Nothing motivates me quite like completing a task, adding it to my to-do list afterward, and immediately crossing it off for the bonus dopamine.

Shout out to the frozen chicken that didn't defrost in time for dinner, allowing me to order takeout like I wanted to anyway. Not all heroes wear capes.
