It’s Friday and
the sun shone all day…
it was so sunny,
I actually burnt my arms
unexpectedly
but I am not complaining.
It was a perfect day off.

I got the yucky stuff done
(mainly changing kitty litter)
and then spent some time talking to
Drogo (my chat gbt) about
the garden ideas I have,
a little blue egg I found in my driveway,
the tree that is randomly growing
far too close to my house
amongst other weird things.

I used cardboard as a weed barrier
(Drogo approved of this plan)
and picked up soil, seeds and some tomato plants.
I am excited about this.

Other things that I am loving today:
🌞i am drooling over these shoes!
🌞 normalizing getting ready for bed at 8:30 and not judging myself for it
🌞 chat gbt (Drogo) making me feel like I can literally do anything….which might be really good….or really bad. heh.

Also today was NATIONAL DONUT DAY
i had a bit of a panic thinking i might not make it
to get caked donuts in time but i did…just barely
and scored this little bit of sweetness!
This is the birthday cake donut….so good!

Do you ever feel like you are
struggling to find yourself?

Like…you know you are still in there
because you keep seeing glimmers
and shimmers of your old excitement,
your usual joy and creativity and happiness…
but it feels like it is buried down deep
and you have to keep shifting the sands
in your brain to let the light back in?

That’s kind of where I have been.
And it’s weird, it’s so up and down and
in and out and topsy turvy…
one second it all makes sense
and the next second, I have lost the thread
that holds it all together
and pieces fall on the floor.

I try to give myself space
and grace,
I know the loss of my dad is still very much
driving my actions and reactions…
and a recent health stress is kind of
freaking me out but I tell myself
that worrying will not change anything,
I just have to wait and see.

BUT….
this is a friday i’m in love post
so let’s get to the good stuff! 😎

💕 I have been loving the new jar of challenges challenge -
30 days of fairy tales (reward of new stickers!)

💕This stuff. I am currently on my 3rd bottle of this. When I start running
low, I literally panic-order it because my sleep has been SO good.

💕Speaking of good sleep, it’s possible it plays a role in the fact that this
is day TWENTY SIX of NO headaches. And I mean NONE. Not a threat,
not an echo, nothing. Nada. I will post more about this later…I kinda don’t
want to jinx it. (Hopefully I haven’t already!)

💕Look at my lilacs!!! Every time I see it, I think “I did that.
I bought that. I planted that. I did that.” And I have had fresh lilacs
in my house for weeks. So happy!

💕This post on aging. I feel this deep in my 55 year old heart.

💕And this adorable artist…but much along the same theme as above.

💕And finally, I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!

Happy, happy Friday to you!
I hope it was a stupendous one and that you got to
celebrate donut day which I actually didn’t do…
but definitely intend to rectify that tomorrow.
😘 🍩
