I'm 99% sure that one of my college friends is trying to legit start a cult. Like, a spiritual, political cult.

2x good news today! 1 - I'm down another size in pants. I haven't seen a 14 in many years. 2 - My sleep apnea is gone! I did an at-home sleep study and it came back totally normal.

Watched Novacaine for the 2nd time. It's such a cute, gross movie. Jack Quaid is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors.

The good: I'm repping the library at Pride tomorrow. I'm so excited. The bad: It's supposed to be 92 tomorrow and feel like almost 100. The ugly: I bought a floppy hat.

I took my first Adderall this morning. I definitely don't need caffeine, but I still feel like I could take a nap. Is an Adderall nap a thing?

Me? I'm fine. I'm just crying about my dog who died a decade ago because I dreamed about her and I miss her so much.

If you're looking for a smart laugh and you have access to AppleTV+, I highly recommend Murderbot. Alexander Skarsgård is comedy gold.

My life blew up (in a bad way) so I haven't been around, but I wanted to take a moment to pat myself on the back. I've lost 101.4 points in 10 months (with a lot of help from modern medicine).

Visiting my BIL & SIL. They have a stray that comes in to sleep and get pet. Not only is he a giant friendly floof, he also has 7 toes on his front feet. So cute!

Mom did eventually move that kitten too. In other news, I dreamed about kittens all night l. I was so ready to adopt that little nugget. Now I really want one.

Only one of them is still there. I hope mom is slowly moving them and hasn't abandoned the last one.

Had a tarot reading by the spectacular Annie Hex today. She was spot on. Gave me some great direction for work. I'm excited to get another reading at Riot Fest!

Something in me told me to look up one of my exes today. I do this about once a year to see if he has any new arrest records. Turns out he JUST died of stage 4 colon cancer. He was only 3 years older than me. He left behind a wife and teenage daughter. How devastating.

Husband and I were walking at dusk. We saw some birds flying funny. Thought it was the strong wind. NOPE. THEY WERE BATS. I've never seen bats in the wild before. Cute, but creepy.

Dropped off my car at the dealership for repairs at 9am. It's now 2pm and I've heard nothing. That's not a good sign.

Just spent $4000 in about 2 minutes. What a rush! I don't remember ever having so much $ in the bank except when my student loan money came in. I used it on my credit cards. I paid one of them off! So grateful that my grandparents thought of me while writing their will. I'm privileged.

There's simply no ethical way to support Harry Potter in 2025. It's not possible. $0.20 from every dollar you give JK Rowling goes directly to physically harming a trans person and that's not a joke or an exaggeration.

#Canva experts: I created a website and published it using Canva's new coding feature. Now I'd like to edit the page. I pulled it back up in the regular Canva editor, but it A) will only show me the very top of the website and B) won't let me edit anything. It's like it's all a flattened image.

I've been gone for a few weeks. I desperately needed a break from social media. I was anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed. I'm back on a trial basis. And because I need to complain to Canva about something but can't contact them directly.

Today is one of our giant, building-wide library programs. I've passed the apex of my panic. Now I just want it to be over. (Not that it won't be fun. Fun doesn't mitigate stress for me.)
