Lessons Learned Today: A Good Life Doesn’t Always Look The Way You Think It’s Going To Look. Even

Kids playing in their rooms, sick husbo watching One Piece in the living room, gloomy rainy weather, and me - alone in the kitchen- making soup. I like it here.

Bbq sauce goes weirdly well with broccoli.

Bonus hobbit points - bell peppers and jalapeños came from my garden and I pickled the jalapeños myself

Tomorrow I will add more veg to make this more filling, otherwise it was really good. Also, this seasoning makes everything taste good

Also, it’s just occurred to me that I am not a fan of Neve Campbell.

Also, maybe it’s my age, but old Skeet Ulrich is better looking than young Skeet Ulrich.

I said what I said.

SCREAM 2

I’ve only seen this one once, way back in the 1900’s.

Ten minutes in, I have thoughts

This takes place, what, 2 years after two teenagers brutally murder a bunch of other teenagers and, not only have they made a film about it, they are handing out ghost face costumes at the door. People are running around the theater pretending to murder each other for the entire length of the movie - or at least until someone is actually murdered.

Look, I’m not expecting realism in a slasher movie, but this is wild.

Also, Courtney Cox’s hair. Yeeew!

"If by my life or death I can protect you, I will."

This isn’t an image thing - I’m fine with being squishy looking. But I’m feeling the negative effects of my squishiness. I just don’t feel good or comfortable of cozy. I feel sluggish and lazy and helpless. I want to change because

I have two small children and I don’t have the energy to give them all I can and it breaks my heart

I want to feel comfortable in my clothes

I want to live long enough to have a relationship with my adult children and grandchildren (if my kids choose to, or are able to, have them)

I am flying to Spain next year. I hate flying. I want to at least feel comfortable on such a long flight and not claustrophobic

I want to sleep better

I’m tired of my heels cracking under the pressure of my weight

I want to be able to fill my day with fun activity without feeling dead at the end of it.

I want to, hopefully, rid of my acid reflux

I want to feel good and healthy and active for as long and as late as I can in life

Time is going to pass anyway - I want to make the most of it

I’m on my third rewatch of Over the Garden Wall this season. It’s fine.

And that’s a rock fact

I finished the second season of Good Omens last night and the Crowley - Aziraphale love story has shaken me to my core 😭 I need more immediately

Watched Vivarium last night and I still feel uneasy. I’ve never been made so uncomfortable by a movie.
