Finished reading: Morgan’s Run by Colleen McCullough πŸ“š

Enjoyed this one. Lots of historical detail and good friendship building but it’s basically a β€œshipwrecked on an island” story and I love those. #bookstodon

i hope every single person who clapped for that dumbass at the latest racist rally gets hit by a thousand chanclas, amen.

I seem to be incapable of using superglue without getting it all over my fingers.

Side noteβ€”cannot currently use Touch ID to unlock my laptop.

A hand is holding a bottle of superglue with visible dried superglue on three fingers. The background is a counter with the back of a picture.

Made a little blog post for ya – It sure will

πŸ₯ΎToday’s hiking church. Perfect weather. Nothing holier than being under the trees.

Did not plan on spending my Saturday afternoon unclogging the bathtub drain but now I own this badass drain snake and even though it took me 2+ hours I do feel pretty much unstoppable. Except my back hurts and I’m tired so I’m gonna get a snack and lay down now.

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

Still, good numbers:

20 Harris/Walz signs > 3 Trump signs.

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

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

Here we go again — Fumbling for the words

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.

A sunset with light beaming out over a flat cafe roof with power lines, a parking lot, and the edge of a brick building in view

the little voice in my head telling me I could lay down for a little nap and then get up and finish my work is not to be trusted, i just have to keep reminding myself

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

Excited to start reading this book!πŸ“š
