So here’s something. Weather app says it’s 74 F outside, feeling like 76 — but the porch feels uncomfortably hot, and when I step into the house where the a/c is at 77, it feels noticeably cooler.

@Smil3yAngel Hope the Jays win for you. 🙂

I love people who get excited about little things.
“look at this leaf.”
“look at the moon and the stars.”
“a crow came for the peanut I offered!!!”
Yes. More of this.

@GSmokesweed1 Meatballs and mashed potatoes — I really miss meals like that. Unfortunately, dietary restrictions make it difficult. Tonight I’m having fresh-roasted chicken thighs with curried rice, yogurt and cookies for dessert. #menucall

Know what I hate? Using my tablet turns off the sounds on the phone, I guess so incoming texts and calls don’t disturb my concentration when I’m scrolling Twitter. But I fkg hate it. I hate putting the tablet down and finding I’ve missed an important call. 😡😡

@jaguar1960 Good morning Lori. We’ve reached the middle of the week. 🌞🌻🙂

Hate it when my brain gets stuck on something at night. Last night I spent hours it seemed finding/helping/transporting Grogu from Star Wars around the same group of buildings—until I got so sick of it I just got up and read until breakfast.
