I am discovering the power in not replying to texts right away. And I am discovering I am comfortable sitting in the silence.

Bestie asked for unfiltered comments on her resume:
“Bridge Builder” Me: I know you. You’d sooner light those f**kers on fire than build them. No.
Me: how DARE you forget the Oxford Comma
Me: that’s a no-no word

Why do we believe stopping whatever we are doing will help us think better? In the middle of rearranging the bedroom including deep clean and had to stop to figure out if I had eaten lunch. Took a hot minute but yes: I finally remembered eating.

I read a 438 page book today, between 2:30 and 9:30 pm, and I made & ate dinner in that time as well (did not read while doing this). I think that’s fast. Is that fast? Yeah. I think it is.

Asked the First Husband to pick up my prescriptions and milk on his way home. Used Find My to see he was at the liquor store. Drugs, food & booze: the holy trinity of on the way home stops.

All my carefully crafted, colour coded on large stickies, sorted by type, then resorted by day, lists of clothes has completely degenerated in the face of actual packing, into some scribbles on the back of random pieces of paper I could find at hand. I hate packing.

Going on a 2 week trip to the UK & the 1st wk will be an art retreat. Checked suitcase is mostly supplies including a collapsible stool; non negotiable along with my heated throw blanket. What will get pared down is clothes. Maybe only 4 tops and 2 pairs pants for 14 days. Priorities!!

On a rare occasion one may be able to bend like they are in their 30s but the harsh light of the days after reveals one doesn’t recover like they did in their 30s. The bald faced reality of being in one’s 50s; joints ache that never have before.

Trying to pack for an event in another country is complicated by the fact that I don’t know who I will be that night, and want to wear. Choices need to be made. Ruthlessly.

Being a grown up is buying yourself a ready-made Cobb Salad to have for supper and then eating left overs because you’re also a mom who’s kid ooohed and aaahed when he saw the salad.

I am no longer in doubt: my 18yo is an old soul. The other night during the intense rain, he made himself a vodka martini, put on his newest jazz record, and sat in the dark living room, just being.
What a weirdo.

Best thing about January as your birth month is no scrolling on those posts of “your birth month says X about you” or “what your birth month means”.

Sometimes trying to tidy up the very messy bedroom means throwing the stuff that doesn’t belong in the bedroom in the bottom of the linen cupboard.

The little red number notification that I have a text makes my brain so itchy but 70% of the time I’m in no mood to reply so I forget sometimes but I can’t put it back on unread because the red circle number makes my brain itchy so I don’t & then I forget and don’t text back & the struggle is real.

Had an ergonomic assessment at work and got a new chair which “huffs” every time I sit in it and frankly, it’s starting to hurt my feelings.

Had a medical procedure yesterday that required sedation. First Husband is away and upon hearing I’m feeling “oogie” today he said via text, “Oh yeah. You’ve had a large chemical journey yesterday. A hangover is to be expected.” 😆
