Trying this mushroom coffee I forgot I had, reaching the same conclusion as before: Lo, the mushroom cannot replace the coffee bean. It hath been written.

This is so good.

I am seeking to unveil reality, not impose a pre-formulated narrative upon it; sometimes stories help, and sometimes they don’t. A once-useful story dissolves when it no longer reflects reality. Truth, as best as we can find it, should guide us, even when it does not fit neatly into a story.

Stories help us find truth, but there’s a difference between fact and fiction | @tracydurnell

Currently hanging in the omg.lol co-working discord where there’s some streaming + chatting about something to do with email and it’s like when I listen to German or Spanish music while working. Like, I understand some of the words, can happily ignore the rest as comforting background noise.

good advice - from Nicholas Bate

Is it another little blog post? Yep, sure is! ——How to be confident - annie’s blog

Just noticed that the one coffee travel mug I’ve been using exclusively for the last 6 weeks is flaking off bits of… something…? on the inside. The coating, I guess. So that’s cool. I’m sure it’s fine. Non-cancerous etc. Fine. Absolutely fine.

What? Another little blog post? Yes! ——The week has gone, the week is ahead - annie’s blog

Friends I am delighted to report that project #movingtwice2024 is now completed. All the things have been moved. It’s all in shambles disarray & chaos but! It’s all moved. And I am sitting on my adorable tiny balcony eating string cheese and chips and I am gonna sleep soooo good tonight.

I have to talk about my secret hairstyle anniemueller.com

I wonder if I was a good wife anniemueller.com #100daystooffload

I am certainly no expert at parenting but I can tell you without a doubt one thing my four teens really love and appreciate about me (as a person but especially as their mom) is 1) how great I am at dancing and 2) how I am willing to serenade them while dancing as a way of expressing my love.

Things I need to do: 1) Pack. Things I don’t want to do: 1) Pack.

I’m pretty sure it was a MB pal who recommended Dina Ögon but I didn’t bookmark the post, anyway, whoever you are, THANKS.

(I will almost certainly regret this.)

This is one of my favorite poems. I memorized it several years ago, but haven’t read it, or tried reciting it, in… months and months. Decided to give it a go after quoting it in yesterday’s post about getting older. Remembered most of it!

God’s Grandeur
By Gerard Manley Hopkins

The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man’s smudge and shares man’s smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

Ah football weather! First half: sweating as the blazing sun shines directly on my face and 127 new freckles appear on my blistering forehead. Second half: the sun has dipped behind the trees and the temp subsequently dropped 30 degrees. Shivering, huddled up as the icy wind blows.
