Made my lazy self get up and go in to work today. I even brought my gym bag to work out after (we have a new gym at work). I figure now I HAVE to go. LOL.
As someone who watches Jeopardy every night, I’m so deeply disappointed in the host choice. This article is eye-opening about the kind of person taking over and the shady things he did to get the job. theringer.com/tv/2021/8/18/2…
I had Lasik about a week and a half ago but I still think I'm wearing glasses sometimes. I reach for them in the morning and I try to take them off before showering. It's a really weird feeling.
I'm getting Lasik next week. A sort of birthday present to myself. I'm excited to be able to wear sunglasses again LOL. To see in the shower! (I stopped wearing contacts a couple years ago because I found glasses better for working on the computer.)

Just a casual reminder that in 1861, 11 Senators and 3 Representatives were expelled from Congress for failing to recognize Lincoln’s election and supporting insurrection.

For EVERY SINGLE part of your novel you should be asking one question: do we have to be here for this? (Yes. Looking at YOU, book where it’s taken 50 pages for the heroine to decide to do the thing I’ve known she was going to do all along.)

The systems that allowed Derek Chauvin to murder George Floyd largely remain intact today. We need much more than a single sentence for a single officer when more than a thousand deaths came at the hands of police last year. True justice demands change.

I got tired of dog toys all over the place so I put them in a basket by the couch. But every time my dog gets excited, she pulls out a new toy. By the end of the day, all the toys are on the floor. Is this what kids are like?

And btw, I am not a great runner. I'm slow, I hate it most of the time, and breathing is a fight I tend to lose. But I'm determined to get to a place where I can run every day.
