When you get this you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)❤️❤️❤️

Thanks @daemonmatthias!! Hoo boy...

1. I've been through a lot, and I'm resilient and more empathetic because of it.

2. I care a lot about my family and friends, and I'm always trying to think of ways to show them I care.

3. I'm a good artist! Not where I want to be, but I'm improving every day!

4. I have strong moral convictions that are not easily swayed.

5. Even if I hate my job (which I do lol) I always work hard, especially if it means making the lives of my coworkers easier.

17 and 27 :)

17. What's a movie you saw recently that you liked?

I finally watched Professor Marston & the Wonder Women a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it! It was, admittedly, a bit heavy handed in the execution, but I think it was still good. And if rewatches count, I rewatched Ocean's Thirteen last night. Love that movie so much!

27. Do you prefer Boardgame Night, Build-Your-Own-Pizza Night, or Movie Night with your friends?

They all sound like a lot of fun tbh, but I've got to go with boardgame night. I used to do one years ago with a group of friends and it was always like the highlight of my week! I miss that.

Good news!! It doesn’t have to be cold to wear wool anymore! In addition to all the benefits mentioned in the post, wool is also thermal-regulating! Wearing my wool long sleeves, I feel comfortable without a jacket from ~mid 50s to upper 70s. With the short sleeve tees, obviously, the comfort temp range would be higher. The dresses have an even wider range due to the ability to layer- my 3/4 sleeve, lighter weight dress can be worn by itself into the lower 80s but I also wore it with wool leggings and a coat outside in the 30’s just the other night. PLUS, the place where I’ve bought most of my wool clothes (wool&) sells tees that are a wool/linen blend that I’m very much looking forward to wearing in the summer. But also REI sells a lot of neat eco-friendly clothing besides wool that is meant for outdoor physical activity. :)

Ooooughhh thank you for the clarification!!! I need to check out REI because I want to get into more outdoorsy stuff, so that is a great tip!! Where do you get your wool/linen tees?? I'm definitely looking to buy more eco-friendly clothes :))

Re: loose-leaf tea — it’s actually very easy so long as you have equipment designed for it (which you can get great ceramic tea pots for not very much honestly, like $30?) You just dump a teaspoon (literally) into the mesh basket and then pour the boiling water over it into the pot. Let it sit until it’s the strength you like, then pour into a mug. That’s all. The only reason I haven’t been doing loose-leaf during the school year is because I don’t want to clean the pot every day. I’m kinda considering it though…

That sounds pretty easy!! I guess it's intimidating only if you're used to the bags. I've seen those loose leaf diffusers as well, that might be a good alternative if you don't want to clean the whole pot.

My mil does the exact same thing. Constantly. She was once legitimately upset with my husband for "not telling her about something" and /I/ had to confirm that he had told her about it 4 times because she didn't believe him when he said he'd already told her 4 times.

it’s so frustrating, isn’t it? ahh, parents......

Thanks guys. We’ll see what the vet says. He’s been otherwise pretty healthy for a while now.

My interview was for a hardware engineer position that I’d be trained for and it would pay probably double what I’m making now. The interview went well, but I don’t know if it went well enough to get the job or not. We’ll see on that too, I guess.

And of course while y'all have a heatwave, it won’t STOP raining here in texas. Stupid global warming.
