I use Bluesky as a brain dump a lot of the time. If I want advice or suggestions, I’ll ask for it. I recognize this is a public forum, and there’s nothing stopping you from being a Reply Guy. Likewise, there’s nothing stopping me from blocking you. Don’t be a jerk.
My brain has been so so successfully programmed by the playlist that I have blasting that I keep trying to get up from my mandatory resting… no brain, stop, the feet MUST rest. Yes brain, we can dance from the waist up while the legs & feet rest, I know this is a banger of a playlist.

I WANT THIS BAG
It won't get there before Christmas, at this point, but it's a real value for money. Fully expect to see Balenciaga knocking this off at a 5 figure pricepoint for Spring 2026.

I finally got good sleep last night, although my body woke up at 6:12, which is almost my weekday wake up time. Thankfully I slept for another three hours although me stirring woke up A for the day 😫
I’ve walked to Ace and vacuumed most of the house and caught up on posting my Holo Taco days.

The “Here’s Johnny!” scene always makes my skin crawl!
it's been so long since we've had a jack performance that i kind of think people have forgotten how tremendous of an actor he is

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Had a Caesar salad, French fries, and a Diet Coke for dinner
Put up the Christmas tree (fake with lights) and fluffed the branches while listening to Charlie Brown Christmas music
Bought our train tickets to spend Xmas with the in-laws
Feeling more emotionally regulated ❤️🩹

Fuck this administration - this is absolute TRASH. Clear & contemporaneous communication with EVERYONE is so important. Also, Trump’s image is a flaming dumpster fire, so why the fuck would adding an ASL interpreter make it worse?!

Woof, therapy today was harder than I expected - talking about control & punishment vs connection & support. How I was always so worried about getting in trouble because being vulnerable with my parents led to being punished, and how that affects me now.

Wait, I said this wrong, I am saving an amount *equivalent to* 20% of my gross pay. I put in 10% and my employer puts in 10%. What I really REALLY appreciate is they put in 10% no matter how much/little I contribute. It’s not a match - it’s a straight up contribution.
I had my annual review today and got lots of sincere compliments and praise, and I earned a 5.5% raise!
I’ve bumped up my retirement contribution starting 1/1. My employer contributes an amount equal to 10% of my gross wages, so combined, I am saving 20% of my pay per year. 🤓🤩😎🤑

As always, the latest episode of @ihatejamesdobson.bsky.social was intensely therapeutic for me. I stayed in my first marriage far too long because of Dobson’s teachings. I am so grateful for Jake & Brooke and the way they analyze all of the fucked-up-ness of Dobson’s bullshit. ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹

Waking up from a nightmare unable to see because of my eye mask… tank top & shorts and sheets and pillows damp with sweat, sweat actively running down my body, freezing because the bedroom is at 65°F with the ceiling fan on high, trying to warm up just enough in the shower
