Kim. Over 50. I never know what to put in these things that doesn't sound pretentious or like I'm on a dating site.

I'm posting this mostly for myself as a reminder.

I'm going more analog in 2026. Less digital, less streaming, less screen time. I use it too much as a "thing to do" when I have so many other things I could be doing instead.

That being said I'm considering taking tumblr off my phone and laptop. I don't know yet if I'll deactivate my account.

Hell I'm still debating if I'm keeping Netflix (the only streaming service I use) or not.

I just want to be more mindful, more present in life and spend less time endlessly, mindlessly scrolling.

I want to do more art, coloring, crochet, read, go outside, exercise, journal, even just sit and do nothing for a little while. I don't do enough of that, spend more time with my spiritual practice that I'm growing in. Rely less on others for entertainment or information.

Monty is all dressed. I'm holding off putting lights on him for now, and he may not get them at all. But we'll see.

I think he's my favorite Christmas tree ever!

We have a Fir tree on our property that was starting to interfere with the power lines and I know the energy company would top it off next year. So I decided to top it off myself and use it as our Christmas tree this year. I thanked him and expressed our love and appreciation for years of beauty.

He still needs to be decorated, but we've named him Monty and we love him.

People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.

I think there is something wrong with my ears because I’m like physiologically incapable of being more than two or three feet underwater. The water pressure is like torturously painful to a point that I don’t think other people experience because they simply would not go swimming if it means this severe of pain lol.

[lingonberry24]

oh hey, me too! it wasn't always like this, but at some point after adulthood, I suddenly just couldnt handle it anymore.

i think this is also somehow related to the fact that my ears being uncovered in the cold gives me piercing headaches. do you get that?

High winds are my enemy. ENT said the only thing there is to do is cover your ears.

Fauquier ENT Blog: Why Does the Ear Hurt with Cold Air or Cold Wind Exposure?

Not uncommonly, people complain about ear pain (or otalgia) that lasts about 15-60+ minutes after the ear gets exposed to cold air or wind.
