My playlist began playing jazz … and it somehow sapped my will to care or change the station.

My actual age: a youngish middle-ish
My age according to my back: Tis time to combust into dust and once more become one with the earth! Hark, the creaking of the joints and straining ligaments… marketh this, ye scythe-wielder: these bones are weary and long to be encrumbled 😩 ☠️

Someone well-respected told me this week that he could tell that I care very deeply about the work I do. And, well… it sure is great to feel seen. 😊 ✍️

Husband is out of town at a work event to benefit brain disease research. Meanwhile, I’m up to my usual mischief when flying solo (painting and moscato). This time with Fleetwood Mac tunes.

A little support and compassion go a long way. Asking how someone is doing only takes a minute, and it’s usually deeply appreciated. Just knowing your coworker or manager cares can bring a lot of comfort. 😊

Got hit with a cold over the holiday weekend, but — I managed to make this German chocolate cake by request. ♥️ Interestingly, there’s nothing German about the cake except for the surname of its inventor.

I’m trying to will this pre-cold to go away by compulsively eating cough drops and blazing through a Stevie Nicks biography (I 💜 her). Surely tapping into her magic can allay any ailment 🧚

One way of dealing with The Horrors is descending into sudden hyper fixations for weeks at a time. This week it’s the music and lore of Fleetwood Mac. 🎶 📖 💿

Me after walking around Lake Harriet for 2 hours and then working on the window trim outside in the heat: Whew. I’m gonna need an early bedtime tonight.
Also me at 8 pm: I’m getting energized! Yay, night time! Let’s bake cookies and stay up!

Why give someone a part of your inner light if they don’t give you anything to reflect? ✨ Sometimes it’s necessary to match their energy.

#Macbeth at the @guthrietheater.bsky.social was 🔥🔥🔥 last night! The older man behind us saying loudly “Is that Lady Macbeth” and “What’s happening??” repeatedly & kicking our seat backs made it feel like a 1500s annoying theater crowd experience. Authenticity! 😆

Playing a very rudimentary version of “Ode to Joy” on the piano for the first time tonight while living in this timeline is WILD.

Me at the Alfa Romeo dealership today (recall repair appt.): Would it kill these guys to smile and be friendly a little bit? 🙃
But alas.
The sole female staffer did smile at me, though. 👍🏽
