Tuesday Rambles

I need a t-shirt that say "I survived coffee OUT."  It was fine.  There was no one on the back cement area.  I was distanced from the gals, wore a mask inside and got a quick cold brew order.  Turns out, not a big deal.  It was nice to have an in-person chat.

Today is TJs run -- super early in the week, but it's the only day I can fit a first-thing-in-the-morning shop. No Publix needed since hubby hasn't been home.  I'll get everything I need for the lentil soup -- yum.  I need a change up for a few meals.  Probably a good Friday meal (rain and in the 60s).  Already can't wait!

BTW, Pleasure Activism IS a sex book with a little "other" mixed in.  Nothing wrong with that, but not what I thought when I bought the book.  I scan-read the rest last night.  If you want some liberating body image talk, sex is wonderful inspiration, self pleasure is a key, queer is fantastic -- this book is your jam.  It was interesting perspectives and very direct *blushing* ...

I'm finally getting into Ghosted (Rosie Walsh).  This is the Jen Hatmaker October selection.  Many peeps read in one sitting, stayed up until the wee hours to read ... and I couldn't get into it.  Someone posted about the it being a slow started and EVERYONE said READ ON, it gets fantastic.  

I watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix.  Super interesting, especially the part about elections and conspiracy theories and how things have become so out of hand.  Well worth a watch to keep a healthy perspective on what you digest, how you digest and the importance of balanced information.  Social media is not just about your friend's dog pictures -- even if you are an educated, reasonable, adult person.

Taking a left turn -- can I say how much I like my new undies from Gap and American Eagle.  Why do I wait so long to replace something so important?  It's so nice to have NO HOLES, no tears, no strings pealing off.

I'm planning to take the pups to the park for a walk early afternoon today.  Tomorrow, I want to push myself to go to Gibbs Gardens before I pick up the grand-dogs for some quiet nature time.  Getting OUT in nature and getting OUT of the house has been a key to feeling better mentally.  I have to make an effort or I don't do it.

Hope we all find some happy today -- stay well.  Later gators.
