Things I Thought About:
- I am in a bad mood.
- Today has been a terrible day at work. I don’t like it too much where I am, tbh. It feels embarrassing, because I was excited to make a move early this year, but I wish it was working out more the way I had hoped. Good days, of course, but in general, I would prefer not to.
- My body feels bad today also, as bad today as it felt good on the island this weekend, when I did not look at a screen more than once or twice. Probably just a coincidence?
- It’s quite chilly and windy and the birds are hunkered down. I will likewise be in a few short hours, eat something fattening, watch Bake Off, try not to think too much about what outrageously rude shit Co-Star has been saying to me this week.
- As all right-thinking women must, I will immediately say that I don’t believe in astrology, but the way I react to what my horoscope says is very revealing.
- Co-Star is very big on my true calling to transcend the mundane. Co-Star appreciates me.
- These birds do not. Well, to hell with them. I will go back to work for a bit and then have some ice cream about it.
BOTD: northern cardinal, female. She was the only one giving me the time of day, and she is a pretty little thing, but she also thinks she's better than me.
Her himbo husband was there, too.
