I just learned I read all three novels by Jeffrey Eugenides

I think now I can rightly classify myself as a Jeffery Eugenides fan

Walking Deacon at the park today, a little girl confidently approached us and politely asked if she could pet Deacon (“Can I please pet your dog?”). Of course I said yes, told her his name was Deacon and that he particularly enjoyed getting ear skritches. After looking at me blankly for a moment, she responded in Spanish that she didn’t understand.

Luckily, I am equipped to have a simple conversation about dogs in Spanish, and we talked about Deacon’s preferences for pets (ears, belly), whether she had a dog (she did not), and what kind of dog is her favorite (THIS dog) (emphatically, lol).

After a bit, her mom called her away, she said thanks, and scampered off. Hours later I’m still thinking about what a kindred spirit that child was because if I was learning a new language, I too would first learn how to ask if it was okay for me to pet a dog. 🫡🐕

In my early-twenties I was addicted to photoshopping my nudes into Hieronymus Bosch paintings, though there came a point when the cohesiveness of the end products began to offend me

Taking care of a house with fibro is soooo hard

And mind you I hire a person to come do the cleaning for me

Just the food and the clothes and the putting things away already overwhelms me

I want my mama

but ykw at least i'm not on mount everest. at least i'm not paying tens of thousands of dollars to slowly suffocate in a 300-person line at the gates of hell. never in my life will i have to be steered in a hypoxic stupor through the maze of poop and corpses atop mount everest. on this earth a lot of horrible things can happen to you without your permission but there are a few that you have to opt into. you can just say no thanks! and be guaranteed never to have to be on mount everest. much to be grateful for actually

[sashayed]

still not on mount everest this morning 😌 alhamdulillah
