Menopause is such a fun little season of life
You're exhausted by 2 PM, wide awake at 3 AM, overstimulated by group texts, mysteriously puffier than yesterday, your brain clocks out mid-sentence, and you are one chewing sound away from a felony.
I love that for us
Vacation culture has gotten a little out of control to me.
I live in southeast Tennessee, in the woods with my family and my dogs, and most of the time I do not have this huge itch to leave. We travel every now and then, but there is something really nice about actually enjoying the life you already have.
People act like you’re supposed to always be planning the next trip, the next flight, the next escape.
Then half the time you come home tired, behind, and wondering why you spent all that money to need a vacation from the vacation.
America is huge. Especially where I live, I can drive a few hours and see mountains, rivers, small towns, lakes, back roads, and some of the prettiest places in the country.
But honestly, some of my favorite days are just being home with my dogs, my family, the woods, and nowhere we have to be.
That feels like rest to me.
Not sure who needs this today - but evil people exist in the world and that’s that.
Distance yourself, move on and stop caring.
There is no chance you can avoid encounters with them.
Take it as just a normal part of life and don’t waste one second trying to figure out why they are the way they are.

Austin Metcalf is dead.
Let’s stop dancing around the obvious.
Austin Metcalf received the death penalty.
Karmelo Anthony received 35 years.
One of them lives.
One of them gets a gravestone.
Save the faux outrage.
The real victim in this case is NOT the convicted killer.
The real victim is the young man who will never come home again and the family that will spend the rest of their lives grieving a loss that can never be undone.
This was a track meet.
A place for competition, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
NOT violence.
NOT murder.
And spare us the racial narratives.
Murder is wrong regardless of the race of the victim or the perpetrator. Any decent society should be able to agree on that.
Austin Metcalf lost everything.
His family got a life sentence of grief.
And while some are busy turning this tragedy into a racial debate, the Metcalf family is looking at the empty chair at the dinner table and remembering who actually paid the highest price.
Austin Metcalf got the death penalty.
Never forget that.
I am so enjoying videos of visitors enjoying the little everyday things of American life… most of which we take for granted. Maybe it’s the algo. Maybe people have finally overindexed on outrage, but my timeline hasn’t been this hopeful in ages.
