Y’all, I’m officially old enough to go to the VFW and enjoy it. $5 drinks, music ranging from TI to Johnnie Taylor, people playing bid whist, fish, shrimp and wing plates for $10? We had a time!

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 did it! I did some tapping to ground myself and paid attention to what colors the sounds looked like and paid attention to where the sounds resonated in my body. I can’t wait for the next session 🤗

Couldn’t concentrate for shit at the last sound bath. I didn’t sleep worth a damn last night so I’m hoping for a more restful experience today.

Reminds me of one summer my kid went to stay with my mother and I was going to have the summer of Lisa. It was Crown Royal night at the Black Rep & the liquor was free! I was chatting it up with Tony Scott (STL people know), went home, tripped over a shoe & spent the summer w a broken toe & a cane

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.

In more “working with teen girls will humble you,” today I had one kid locked in the bathroom refusing to come out because I asked her to repeat what she mumbled, not on some trying to be slick but I really didn’t hear what she said. Another kid walks up & says I look like the Princess & the Frog

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.

Anyway, he numbed me at 8 and 5 hours later I’M STILL NUMB! I made the appointment for my other filling with his wife. I’ll just have to work out my schedule because I never want his dry ass again.

Was mad but I didn’t care. The hygienist was really nice but his crappy bedside manner and his refusal to play music in the room didn’t help. Music is a big coping skill for me & the only sounds in the room were the drill & some other machine so I didn’t have any distractions.

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.

And honestly, this woman takes a week to respond to calls and texts, I didn’t feel the need to respond immediately. But also, I’m already overwhelmed by life & I know she must want something, even while recognizing that I’m drained.

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.

It makes absolutely no sense that HBO Max has the extended versions of the Desolation of Smaug and the Battle of the Five Armies but not the extended version of An Unexpected Journey.

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.
