A real shit run this morning. slept terribly, felt exhausted, strava wouldn’t open, legs like lead, etc. Ended up walking, mostly.

And on Amendment 3, which would end MO abortion ban:

12 YES > 8 NO. Closer than I’d like but okay.

I don’t love that my sunset view is framed by brick wall, parking lot, cafe roof, and power lines. But I do love that sunsets exist & I get to see them. I’ve been lucky enough to live in beautiful environments surrounded by trees and sky and water. I may get that lucky again one day.

I feel like I can be a badass woman who don’t need no man (or any person good with tools) but it just took a long time to put that bed frame together and I stripped several screws and did one part wrong and had to disassemble and redo and now my back hurts

Something my kids appreciate about me is how good I am at those little touches that bring a real high-end aesthetic to our home.

They don’t tell me how much they appreciate it but I can feel it. They don’t have to say it out loud.

On the front of a stainless steel dishwasher, there’s a small cardboard circle with googly eyes and the word CLEAN inside a grinning mouth, drawn with black marker

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
