After talking to angsty teen girls all afternoon, I came home and spoke to four people on the phone and only told two to get off my phone or that I’d reached my social limit.

I have an amazing Saturday planned. Art in Bloom, the orchid show, a sound bath and then a massage. And what did I do tonight? Twist and turn on my foot coming out of the Black history concert at the symphony tonight 😭 it hurts like hell & I keep trying to convince myself it’ll be fine in the a.m.

Sometimes it is really crazy to me that I woke up one day at 50, decided to change careers, applied to grad school, got a masters in a completely different field, and found a job that aligns with something I’m passionate about.

I had the weirdest experience at the dentist today. It’s a husband/wife team & I prefer the wife but ended up with the husband. I was getting 2 fillings replaced. He was halfway through the first one & I couldn’t breath, full on anxiety. Had to ask if we could just do one today. I could tell he

I’m never beating the awkward allegations. My coworker said he was leaving early for a funeral and needed to pick up food for the repast. Me: I’m so sorry for your loss. hook me up with some funeral meatballs. Why would I say that? I don’t even know who died. That man could be grieving grieving.

This man sent me his number through messenger because we haven’t talked in forever & I forgot why that was until I scrolled back to messages from 2017 when he was super homophobic. Like “real men don’t cross their legs” homophobic. “I wouldn’t claim my son if he was gay” homophobic. NEVER calling.

Friend called twice yesterday. I didn’t answer because I didn’t feel like talking. She corners me at church this morning asking why I didn’t call her back. I was honest. She said she still wants to talk to me. I’m not at church because I want to talk to people, I’m here because my mom needed a ride.

I can be indecisive af. I could blame that on being a Libra but 🤷🏾‍♀️ Anyway, I made the decision to book a big trip for 2027, pulled out my wallet and booked it in less than 10 minutes instead of the weeks I would usually take to overthink and over analyze.
