Day 17 ☑️

*looking at the Mona Lisa* there is no way a turtle painted this

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

I love Gran #AbFab

Spending my Sunday off building LEGO and watching Hallmark movies, as God intended.

Day 14 ☑️

pleeeease don't make me scroll to find my birth year, just let me type it in I'm begging you. I've been through so much

Don't ever let anybody tell you you're stupid for mourning the death of an artist you didn't personally know. Sometimes artists really, really mean something to you. And it's deep and personal, and you DO feel like they're a part of you, and that's OK. That's what great art, the best art, does.❤️

Day 13 ☑️

Day 12 ☑️

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art. She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

Day 11 ☑️

my instagram suggested reels made it look like Tilda Swinton and Clarabelle Cow are besties (they are) and also this is what my last two brain cells look like

Had pretty much this entire album on repeat at all times, but this song in particular has some great moments: youtu.be/Fif5cZpN_ik

Day 10 ☑️

The rain is keeping me awake. Going to try to drown out the noise by playing 10 Hours of Continuous Rain Sounds for Sleeping on Spotify.

Two factor authentication? Why not three factor? Or four? Or fear?? Why not FEAR FACTOR AUTHENTICATION????

Day 8 ☑️

Before you start arguing with a stranger in the comments on the internet today, remember this: Hypocrisy means nothing to people with no integrity.

Day 7 ☑️

No one: What if Willy Wonka were even *more* gay? Timothy Janovsky: Say less. "A sexy, luscious opposites attract gay romance inspired by 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' set in the gorgeous backdrop of Italy."

*places hand on Pepsi’s shoulder* “Are you okay?”

Day 6 ☑️

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

Dang, someone* drank my coffee... (*It was me. I'm the problem.)

I remember watching 'Days of Our Lives' for a while back in the 90s… I would get frustrated when they're develop a plot for weeks and then just drop it with no explanation. Little did I know they were preparing me for the current news cycle:

Day 5 ☑️

Day 4 ☑️

If you're the only one saying out loud that you're, say, the world's most respected political leader or the best songwriter of your generation, chances are one of you is wrong.

Breakfast ☑️ Daily reading ☑️ Dinner in the slow cooker ☑️ Day 3 Workout ☑️ Now to get cleaned up and head off to the grocery store…

Worked yesterday, off today, and have a short workday tomorrow night, so easing back slowly from vacation. (But now I have so much to do around here today!)

Stumbled across this lovely list and just had to share it... Great ways to slow down, explore creativity, and live in the moment for a little bit each month. 💝 midnightcrumbs.substack.com/p/low-entry-...

The word "cooked" in "1 cup cooked rice" is doing a lot of work in this 5-minute recipe's ingredient list.

I've done my fair share of schooling but the most useful lesson I learned was how to efficiently bag groceries at my first job when I was 16. I know a self-checkout hate to see me coming.

Still sore from yesterday and felt like I was gonna die, but Day 2 is done 🏋️‍♂️

Finished Day 1 of a new workout regimen (Posting here for accountability)

Last day of vacation today, so time for some laundry and other housekeeping while I try to get back into a routine. Back to work tomorrow, but at least it's time-and-a-half pay!
