  1. Feeling like a smart #NewYorker #today!
    Often when I'm in Amy's Bread complaining they're sold out of something, they'll say "You can call ahead & reserve" and today I finally did that!
    I'll be bringing pieces of sourdough chocolate bread sticks & pistachio croissant twists (yes, they're as good as they sound) to a cookout in 'Jersey later.

  2. It's going to be a HOT day #today so we are going to try to stay cool at home.

    Which means if you have any movie or series suggestions, feel free to give them.

    On this weekends billboard is "Tuner" and "Supergirl". Probably also a little season 19 of TaskMaster.

    What else will happen today? Who knows. 🤷‍♂️

  4. Thumper just started doing another load of laundry. What did I ever do to deserve living beneath a laundromat?

  8. Excited for the long weekend ahead. Should be toasty out, but I am going to embrace summer for all that it has left.

    🎨 Today, hanging out at @AudraBalionArt ‘s studio.
    🐣 Tomorrow we get to meet her cousin’s new baby! 💜❤️
    😎 Monday, chill.

    Have a lovely one, all.

  10. Every crop starts with a single seed and grows through hard work and patience. Farming is a journey of learning, growth, and hope. Keep planting, keep believing, and the harvest will come. #Agriculture ##solarpunk #silentsaturday #today #solarpunksunday #mastodon #gardening @gardening #garden #sustainability #biodiversity

  12. A new day. A new chance to succeed.

    A slow day starting. A hot one forecast. Nothing major on my list. A few extra tasks because it's a Saturday. A few more because a new month.

    I'm making progress on my various projects. Establishing the new patterns.

    Slowly. Very slowly.

    But thinking back to New Year's Day, the year's been good to me. I haven't accomplished all I wanted but I can celebrate what I have.

    I hope you take a moment to celebrate something #today

  14. Good morning!

    Normally I sleep fairly well at night, but last night was a difficult one. Thumper stayed up late doing laundry, stomping around, and vacuuming directly over my head. Theo couldn't settle down and cried at the bedroom door for a long time twice. And the hip pain returned with a vengeance. I dozed off and on all night, and finally got up much too early.

    Once I started walking, my hip felt okay, so I went out on my walk as usual, enjoying the flowers and the squirrels and the deer. But I am very tired.

    I need to go to the grocery store and the pharmacy. That's probably all I'll do today.

    Have a good one, my friends, and keep on keeping on.

  16. #Today 01

    Good day!

    August has arrived and, as if in its honor, our weather is changing to the late summer version.

    We’re supposed to significantly cool beginning tonight. I’m sure we’ll still have hot days for a while here and there, but it looks like the warm nights are over.

    Be everwell.

    #GoodMorning and #TZAG everyone :ablobcatcoffee:

    It's been a harder night. I didn't walk a longer route with Koa, as I just didn't have the energy to do that... 😔
    I just managed to ride my bike om a low speed for half an hour! *yay me*.
    I booked an appointment with my GP for 17/08. The earliest moment (time wise), which I like the best. Hopefully, she will be willing and able to help me with my peri journey. I really think that HRT patches could be beneficial for my health, but I have two more weeks to find out all about it. 😊

    The dishwasher has done it's work as well, it's drying now, and then I can clean it out (I'll have to, haha, it has all my now clean big plates in it 😂).

    A small part of me, it's saying I should get out some paint, and paint the wall that the coop repair man worked on last Wednesday. It would look a lot better if I would do that... So, maybe I should? 🤔

    But, of course, finding the energy, and kicking myself in the butt to actually do it... I know it *needs* to be done eventually, so why not "just" do it and get it done with? 🤔

    I used to be someone what would be *very* AuDHD... I mean this in a very positive way! I used to get an idea, then I'd gather all I'd need for that idea, and... I'd do it! I would not think about it too much, I would just think "that's good, I can do that!", and.... There I went!

    But, the last few months, I've been noticing this is getting too hard for me to keep doing... I've lost the confidence I had in myself. I keep doubting if I can do things, while I know I used to "just" do things, and have them work out well enough... I lost the energy. There is no motivation. And... When I *finally* do something, I don't feel the joy of it afterwards... There is no dopamine rush. There is no feeling of great accomplishment. There's just the "OK, that's done, it's fine" :thisisfinefire:. And, without that dopamine, without the reward for your brain/body, it's harder and harder to start something else...

    As I've shared yesterday, I've learned that dopamine, ADHD, and the peri-menopause aren't the bestest of friends... :parrot_sad: and that's why I really hope that my GP will allow me to try the patches. I *know* they aren't the "holy solution", but... So far, I've heard way more positives than negatives about them, so I *really* want to try them out...

    Well... Plans for #Today
    Maybe I can try to paint that bit of wall... Maybe? 🤞🏻
    Try to get a little longer walk with Koa 🐾
    Clean out the dishwasher 🫧
    Do the laundry 🧺
    Maybe read some more of my book :blobcatbook:
    And.........
    Try to relax and feel OK enough...

    Thanks to all for your kindness and support during my "journey through daily life" :bear_love: I really appreciate it :bear_hugs: as it helps me to keep going on bad/harder days! :bear_nuzzle:

  22. Ceiling of Sala della Stufa, Galleria Palatina, Palazzo Pitti, Florence. The room, created between 1627 and 1641, was originally an open gallery, but it was closed off later in the 17th century and restructured as a “stove” room, a bathroom heated using the same techniques as the Roman baths and intended for private use by the Grand Duke, whose bedroom is believed to be next door. The decoration, specially the frescos and stuccos, commissioned by Grand Duke Ferdinand II de' Medici, are a work of Michelangelo Cinganelli (1558-1635) Matteo Rosselli (1578-1650) and Ottavio Vannini (1585–1643).

  23. When I got home from work #today, every time I turned around, Emily was there giving me this look.

    She was really insistent she should get early supper. 😆

    Survived the day and now… long weekend! Very grateful for that.

    Not sure what I want to do this evening yet. I could start the formatting for my book… or I could relax for once. A wild thought, I know, but just maybe…

    I hope you all had a wonderful week, dear friends of the fediverse. All the best to you.

  25. August 1
    --
      `Similar expressions we heard repeatedly from the negroes.--We observed that the slightest allusion to the first of August in a company of freed persons, would awaken powerful emotions, accompanied with exclamations of "tank de good Lord," "bless de Savior," "praise de blessed Savior," and such like.`

  27. TIL, at my pre-colonoscopy appointment, that Medicare will only pay for one that's at least 10 years and one day from your last one, if your prior ones were all clean (as mine were). I was a couple months too early.

    Oh well — I met the doctor, I filled out his office's paperwork, and they won't bill for today. I'll go back near the end of September, have the colonoscopy either very early October or in early November, since I avoid having to drive away from the coast during pumpkin season when traffic is atrocious.

  29. My favorite Micron pen gave out so I went to Michael's to get a new one, plus a couple other things that've been on my list forever. I spent SO much time in the Halloween section. They had some great vintage-y black cat stuff, but despite my inner goth child pouting, I didn't buy any of it since I have Halloween at home.

    I so rarely shop inside non-grocery stores these days that it always seems like an adventure. 😅

    C Programming: Will be learned.

    I got a bit of a slower start today than normal, because I actually slept. It's weird how feeling rested feels strange. ROFL

    Do not underestimate the power of a small act of kindness. 🤍

    A donation, a share, or even a kind word can bring hope to a family in Gaza struggling to survive. 💔

    In times of hardship, compassion and humanity matter more than ever. Please stand with those who need help. 🙏

    May we always choose kindness, mercy, and love🕊️

  34. I've managed to do all of the jobs on my list except one.

    My pressure washing of the drive was vetoed by She Who Must Be Obeyed who stated that there's a drought on, and I must not do it.
    So I had a nap instead.

    However, I've got a little further with the bay window wall because I found some Polyfilla.

    Plus the driveway light had imploded and had to be removed (looking at it I'm surprised it hadn't blown the fuse) - that turned into a bit of a job, and I've ordered a new one.

    Not a bad day so far
