Following you because, yes, you seem interesting, but you mention a superpower is parallel parking, and I was just tooting about that yesterday. I cannot, and I envy those who can!

Looking at the footage from Hawaii, and it's just devastating. I cannot believe it. My heart aches for them. I find myself aching for so many lately it's hard to process. My heart hurts seeing the destruction.

My HOA is apparently doing back deck inspections. I can't imagine what bothered them as I sit out here. It's probably the same old crap. Can't a gal sit on her back deck and sharpen her Samurai sword while testing out her flamethrower? What is this neighborhood coming to? 🤷‍♀️

I know. My options are limitless. Happy Meal? Two candy bars? My God, the choices!!!!!

Coffee breaks on nice days are quickly becoming 15 minutes of bird-watching time on my back deck!

Oh my God, what's happening in Maui....

Otis may have pulled another all-nighter. It's hard to see with the night vision camera, but he just snagged yet another fish. He seems to be catching them left and right!

I see there was another shark attack, this time on Rockaway Beach in NY. I'm not a shark expert, but maybe there's something to the theory that the warming of the ocean is forcing sharks closer to the shores? Regardless, we must be careful not to demonize sharks the way we did in the 70s, after 'Jaws' was released. The ocean is their home. They belong here just as much as we do.

An ex just texted me.

Someone reach through their phone/laptop/whatever and smack me upside the head for even considering responding.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

My neighbor getting the large branch off our shared roof has given me an excuse to do something I looovvveee to do- cook for someone. There's something about cooking for another person that makes me feel warm and happy inside. I'm half-Italian so that likely has a lot to do with it!

Making baked ziti for him and his partner.

My friend Mark was on his way here and had to pull over. He's hiding out in a shop in Peddler's Village until the storm passes. Fortunately, it's a candy shop, so I texted him what I want 🍫 😀

Buckingham, Warminster, Doylestown, New Hope - line of strong storms headed your way. Tornado warning expired, but we're still under a watch.

If you're in Montgomery or Bucks Counties, PA this is a very fast-moving line of storms with a tornado warning. Storms moving at 50 mph with hurricane-force winds. Bucks: Best to prepare now.#NJweather #PAweather #NJwx #PAwx

Entering the sixth circle of Hell known as billing and taxes.

If you never hear from me again, I love you all and will miss you terribly as I am trapped in the matrix of capitalism's wrath.

Have a nice day. 😀

Stop scrolling for a second. Give me your full attention.

Are your shoulders tense? Take a breath and let them drop.

Is your jaw clenched? Release it and take a breath

You see where I'm going with this.

Unclench, breathe, get up, and move around.

Carry on 😉

I am the weirdo who blends ice cubes made out of flavored carbonated water into a snow-like texture and eats it like one would eat a snow cone. I love the texture more than snow cones - more dense yet soft. The flavored water makes it less nauseatingly sweet and more refreshing too.

Using my Merlin Bird ID app when I sit on my back deck, I've identified over 24 species of birds. Pictures are from Google.

Indigo Buntings are not the most social birds. During the breeding season, they can be very territorial and would often search for food alone. They migrate at night and use the stars as their guides. They learn songs while they’re young from male Indigo Buntings nearby. A local Indigo Bunting song can last for up to 20 years

I was supposed to go to the driving range tonight, but it looks like we're supposed to have some pretty bad storms. I've seen Caddyshack, so I think rescheduling tomorrow will be wise. 🌩️
