Why the heck is she so far back?! Also, she’s always so impressive. 😭

A clip of a show called ‘Dying for Sex’ popped up on my FB newsfeed, and it was a nurse explaining what happens to the body when we’re about to die. I watched it 10 times remembering every stage in my grandma’s dying process, and unlocked the grief I’d been quieting the last few months. Sigh.

If more people calculated the cost of things by how many work hours (salaried people too) it would take them to pay for it, we might get that revolution. 😭😭😭😭

For any of you with an HSA, do you invest part of it?

Just happened to see this profile photo on LinkedIn today on the White House’s official page, and it’s just sooo…😵‍💫

I’m genuinely shocked by the quotes and the comments. I absolutely hate this part of my body. LOLOLOL if I wasn’t scared of lipo, it would be GOOOOONE.

And that’s why the government & your governors & bosses want you to believe a national strike is impossible & would be meaningless: Because they know Americans will change the world if they have courage to confront the oligarchy. You have that power, Americans. You need the courage to grab it.

After that, the next step is to national strike. That involves everything from not showing up to work through to reaching a collective agreement with coworkers to do your job badly. It involves railway & bridge blockades. Anything to impede commerce. That breaks the economy, & governments fail.

Start there. Speak with your wallet. Loudly. Make businesses suffer. Make them angry at the government. Make brands & chains feel they have to issue statements against the government. If this doesn’t work, then why are states and industries BEGGING Canada to return? Boycott. Everything. Now.

I beg “No Kings” Americans to discuss a general strike. Break your economy. You can’t be serious about ending this regime while you keep spending disposable income and propping up the economy as a consumer. You wanna break it? Stop buying new things. Repair things. Buy used. Don’t eat at chains.

It hit me last week that I’m old enough to have seen the pendulum swing on microphones. You used to want the mic to blend in when filming (clipped on your clothes, taped down, etc.), but now we’re back to holding mics in our hands while on camera. Fascinating.

In NO…😭😭😭😭😭

Being a good mother

Yes. It takes me too much energy to hold a grudge. I don’t care enough.

Doing things I don’t want to do because of how I might be perceived

A Coach bag, a muumuu, an airline gift card, or a gift certificate to get a massage and/or facial

Right now, Bob’s Burgers

A pessimistic realist with a splash of optimism

Disappointment

My BF’s daughter got in the car today and asked me if I owned a Birkin. LOL Who does she think I am?!

I saw MJ the Musical on Broadway in November, and now every time I hear Michael Jackson’s music, I get so sad. What a legend. I wish I had been able to see him in concert. 😭

Asking me if I wanna ride while he runs errands is always getting a yes

I love these so much. 😭

My BF is bald, and I shave his head as an act of service. I love doing it. 😂

I was watching Dave Ramsey Show FB reels, and I cannot fathom some people’s financial decisions. What is happening in America?! 😭

I just bought some adjustable dumbbells for the house like 20 minutes ago. Excited to do it in my home. LOL

And I’m meant every word. I’m glad you told them to keep that job. 💜

Just got home from an all-day date in Ann Arbor. Went to a private, indoor hot tub spa, got ramen & gyoza, and then Molly’s Cupcakes. Absolute perfect day in every way. PTO is always worth taking.

Frito pie is not weird 😑

So Claude, right? I’m looking at the website right now.

Tried it on in the store and bought it immediately. It smells so good on my skiiiin. 🥹

My oldest child graduates from high school in two and a half months. 🫨 He has not been interested in *any* senior activities. My graduation gift to him is an 8-day trip to Italy (w/a group, of course) without me. I’m excited for him to travel as an adult w/o either parent.

I wish it was Christmas. 🥺

Balancing being a team player with not overexerting the bounds of your role is a feat. You know how to solve the issue efficiently, but that information is not what you’re paid to provide.

My favorite thing to hear the kids say to each other and us—when we need to hear it—is “lock in!” It’s so funny, but I love that kind of encouragement.

It's not a secret, just not your business. Forever mood.

I have about 4-5 gray hairs in the front of my head, and they’re all on the same side.

I was encouraged to join Threads, but I was adamant about not getting ANOTHER dang app. Is it worth it though?

I’d like to find a group that discusses retirement planning and other future-focused topics, but it would be great if the discussions were nuanced and based in reality w/a splash of theory to ground it. Is that too specific? 😭

ngl the best part about getting my PMP is that I didn’t pay for it; my job did. They covered the exam, membership, *and* the subscription to the test prep app I used. They paid for my Google PM cert too. 🥲🥹

I’m tired every day. Let me get back into this damn Vitamin D. 😭

In true Leo fashion, my daughter sent her birthday list to EVERYONE because her “birthday is coming up…” IN AUGUST. I’ve gotten so many texts and calls, and people are buying her stuff now! LOL I cannot…

Successfully completed my PMP today. 🥳 PMI Study Hall really was the only resource I needed (outside of completing the Google PM certificate last year). I did one full-length exam on Saturday got a 67% 😵‍💫 and did about 4 hours of practice questions. Scored “above target” on all three domains.

I spend most of my money on food 🫤😂 Probably why I’m the size I am.

I’ve been studying PMP stuff all day. 😭 I’m tired.

Henrietta Lacks is the reason we dont get polio anymore. Henrietta Lacks is the reason in-vitro works Henrietta Lacks is the reason there's an HPV vaccine, gene mapping, we know how cancer cells divide, AIDs is no longer a death sentence. Henrietta Lacks cells were stolen from her

I think I’m going to book an art class of some kind at the museum. Maybe glass blowing or oil painting…

What a good question! Probably quite a few tbh 😭

I’ve decided not to weigh-in until next week when my ( . ) is finished. I don’t feel like being pissed. LOL

I’ve been pretty strict about walking a mile every day during the week, limiting soda to zero sugar 🤢, minimal eating at restaurants, and a weekly subscription to Factor.
