While I’m excited by the @patagonia news & happy that the CEO is choosing the planet over profits, I still wish they would do more for plus-sized people. I really support what they stand for and would buy so much more from them but they don’t make most things in my size. It sucks
After an extremely busy last couple weeks, finishing my grading for the week yesterday, and working at the bar until 3am last night, I can’t overstate how ecstatic I am to have today all to myself. A book, the Sunday crossword, and an afternoon cocktail or two-Pure bliss
June was a doozy-Got broken up with out of nowhere, hours got cut for my part time job, got into an accident and totaled my car, had multiple family things happen, and the country and people’s rights are being decimated as we speak. Let’s hope that July is better…ugh.
Starting a new job at a queer bar right before Pride month has been one of the most affirming, heart-warming, rewarding, and fun experiences and one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. Being able to be your whole genuine self is a pretty incredible thing
First concert of the summer in Portland trying to have some fun after a shitty couple weeks. Ended up seeing my therapist and my ex-girlfriend within 5 minutes of being there…not quite the vibe I was going for 🙃
Love getting yelled at by one boomer on the beach while trying to have fun with the dogs and then getting laughed at and told “Wow, looks like you all could use some exercise” by another boomer as one dog is freaking out and doing sand zoomies and the other is refusing to come.
I would like to thank the combo of support and advice from my friends, therapy, the Brandi Carlile song that came on in the car, and Allen’s Coffee Brandy for all giving me the confidence to ask the person I’ve been dating to be my girlfriend last night. (And yeah, she said yes)
2/2: I know I should do those things more regularly for self-care (not only because someone is coming over) but sometimes, we need others to remind us we’re worthy of self-care/self-love in order to truly believe we deserve the same time, care and attention we give away so freely
1/2: Today, I cleaned my whole apartment, did laundry, changed my sheets, took a long shower, and did other random tasks that I’ve been putting off for no reason. I did those things because they had to be done but also because I have a date night tonight...
