I normally cut up the dogs into the mac, and no buns obv. Childhood staple right there.

NGL, I still make it sometimes when I'm on my own for dinner. But now I use kielbasa.

I found a neat one today. So the thing that's currently working for me wears off right? Therapist suggests that I rotate through my bag of tricks periodically when I start to spin my wheels. The thing is, I don't exactly recognize when this is starting to happen, only when it's full blown productivity breakdown.

I told her that if I put a sticky note on my desk to remind me to switch up coping systems that I would become blind to it eventually. I said I would do calendar reminder for every x weeks, but the reminder would be so regular that I'd be predicting it and ignoring it.

She said you need one that goes off randomly but still roughly once a month.

A few test runs of apps on the Play store later and I found one that is minimalist, yet I can customize the range of minutes/ hours/ days for the interval of recurrence. I can remind myself to switch procrastination tools, to water the plants, go through that stack of mail...

We'll see how long this lasts or if i start ignoring these too. Hopefully they'll be novel enough to work for a little while.

The app is "Remind - Random Notifications"

I have a generic pair that were basically my shoes for chores around the yard (the yard is marshy in places). I rarely wore them to the store or out in general, but found them really comfortable.

Well, I go and break my big toe a few weeks ago. I have a velcro splint on it, and bought one of those post surgery shoes. It was clunky and awful. The best thing about it was the boxy toe area which helped keep me from stubbing my toe again.

I tried for maybe 2 days to wear it, but then I remembered my crocs. And they have been the perfect toe protectors, plus not being awkward to walk in.

A good friend was passing through the area and stopped to go to dinner and spend the night with us. We hadn't seen them in many years due to life circumstances. It was so good to catch up.

But if enough were detonated, would it create a nuclear winter thereby offsetting the warming trend?

 

I think I'm learning about myself that no single solution will be my miracle solution. I try things and they work for a bit, then it just wears off.

Well I'm in that place where I'm fed up and looking to try something new.

What apps or non-digital tools do you use to keep yourself on track?

We leave subtitles on nowadays to mitigate loud action/ soft dialog, and it helps with keeping up with the things my ears hear but my brain is lagging in processing.

We finally got around to watching Echo. And we're rewatching old episodes of MXC, a couple at a time, as palate cleansers.

I feel like we did a trial run for this in March of 2020. It didn't go as hoped.

I made a battery from a potato once. Am I disqualified from office?

A Lemmon Twist?

Ew, did Beetlejuice put his engagement ring complete with severed finger in someone's wine glass?

 

I camp in a travel trailer, and have done 2 road trips so far with the hubby. First trip was Savannah>St. Augustine>Charleston. We were short on choice in Savannah and stuck with a KOA sandwiched between Hwy 17 and 95. It... was a safe place to park and the showers were decent, I'll give it that. The campground in St Augustine was out on the barrier islands and just a whole old Florida vibe (North Beach Camp Resort). I loved the privacy between spots, and the 2 restaurants within waking distance. Not cheap, and not normally our thing, but it was our anniversary. On our way back north we stopped in Charleston at a city park that had a campground (James Island County Park) . It was perfect y'all. Affordable, in/out privileges with a gate code after hours, a lake and a water park on site, wooded campsites with full hookups, and didn't feel crowded even though it was relatively full.

Our second road trip was to a music festival that took us through West Virginia. We stayed in a couple of state parks passing through, and I definitely want to go back in the fall. WV just has beautiful parks, and I got a good dose of "felt like home" even though I'm from southwestern VA.

Being on the east coast, I wish we had more prevalent places to boondock such as BLM land. Sure we've got logging roads in National Forests, but there is also a lot of privately owned property peppered through the forests I'm familiar with, and I'm nervous I'm going to piss someone off by trespassing.

So where all have you been this season? Hit me with ideas!
