I mispronounced a word today and people noted it. Sigh. This is not unheard of for me. I routinely put emphasis on the wrong syllables because I learned a lot of words from reading, not in conversation. But I’ll probably never say that word again in public. 😔
I had a dream last night that put me in the kind of mood where I pondered what-ifs all day and read poetry and basically couldn’t stand myself. Hoping for less drama in tonight’s slumber.
@RobOwenTV Jacques Pepin’s memoir covers his time at HoJo and how hard he worked to standardize quality recipes across such a huge franchise. It was fascinating!
@Caimh Deccie is a GEM! I’m on vacation at a beach and today’s news (received via text in all caps from a friend) was still the highlight of my day! He just has such appreciation for the fundamentals of the game 😂
Finished all of the audio versions of books by @Caimh and missed his characters so much that I restarted the Dublin trilogy again. Except I’m doing the prequels first. I love having Bunny back in my life.
@kleenestar Being INSIDE Christianity for my entire life has told me the opposite. Such maneuvering, infighting, hateful gossip and horrible actions from people who claim to know and love Jesus. (Example? I was denied a leadership role at my home church at 25 for being liberal and single.)
@ssweeny Also angry. And frustrated and disappointed. But I got today’s wordle in three, too! Who needs civil liberties, bodily autonomy and basic human rights? </sarcasm just in case it wasn’t clear>
@kleenestar Smart kid! (This is why I got a dog. I try to give him hugs if I’m sad but he often resists, and then we have an Elmira from Tiny Toons situation.)
Someone told me that they love Dave Grohl but “don’t get what the Foo Fighters are going for,” and I’m still confused, angry and sad all at once. So I listened to the Foo Fighters.
@mbloomstein I keep hoping Watson (my 13lb shorkiepoo) never realizes some dogs get to sleep in bed with their humans. I’d never hear the end of it, and I’d never sleep again. He’s wiggly and likes to lick.
I’m the weirdo patient who emailed her surgeon’s office today requesting links to any research studies linking weight-loss surgery to the desire to change other big shit in your life and if my brain can be relied on to make decisions or if I need to wait.
