“Behold!”
The jaws of darkness do devour it up:
So quick bright things come to confusion.

Sounds like you’re a natural in the role, congrats! 🦖

So relatable. 😝Yesterday I hit my chin while trying to yank a long sleeve down that was bunched up inside my hoodie. Still not sure how it happened, but it woke me up.

Take a second and think before posting the easy Eeyore reply. You might have something substantive to say instead. Or, even better, you can say nothing at all.

My mantra today (and for many days after) is that there is no “good” time to do life things but you should do them anyway because that what makes a life that you want to live.

Whew.

I expected to welcome new folks at the gym this morning, but it was just a few of us regulars. I guess starting a new gym habit at 6am on Friday January 2 is a bit much. Fair enough.

Good morning and Happy New Year!

I had lunch with a relative who was talking about the time they got to see the Plymouth Rock. “What a disappointment... I was expecting more of a boulder, but it’s just a little rock.” Life is like that sometimes.🤷‍♀️

The Chiefs fan to Swiftie pipeline is hilarious. I’m in KC for the holidays and my dad is able to work Taylor Swift into an impressive number of conversations.

One post about mealworms spilled in a shipping box. The following post from a different person is about a Netflix game show called what’s in the box.

I love it when my feed lines up like this. Worms! Worms are in the box. 🤣

Note to self says you’re amazing and you have a cute butt. Fingers holding the note card over a box filled with candles that are hidden under Brown shredded paper.

A dear friend of mine (since the 1980s!) once told me, “I love getting old. Women are nice to me now and men ignore me.” ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve also crushed or sprinkled it on moist cat food.
