Planning the fall garden. Yoga, grocery shopping, sleeping until 8am, afternoon cocktails. Hopefully not much more than that.
I have driven manual shift cars for my whole life, and the transmission in my new (ish, about 10 years) car is incredible.
The first one was a 3 speed Mustang without hydraulic clutch. It was so hard to shift I only let one other person drive it. 1st speed so rough, 2nd at like 10mph, 3rd at about 30, that was it. It was just springs and chains and gears.
This one? Smooth as silk, there is enough overlap between gears that it is so easy to shift, 6 speeds, the 6th gear I can drive 90mph and it is cool and comfortable. It's ridiculously easy to drive and so much fun.
My mom had this and also no leg hair. She told me "I shaved it once and that worked, it never came back". Not Asian as far as I know but part Native American or Mexican, she never found out because her dad was so estranged from his family.
And having to be careful during sex is a drag. Big, good. Bigger, not better.
It looks more like the correct headline is binge drinking among men drops to the same level as women's binge drinking. The red line ends very close to where it starts.
I either buy a cafe con leche from a local place, or make moka (no idea why this autocorrected to mija, I am not boiling my daughter) pot coffee with freshly ground beans - not just any type, the same beans the cafe uses, from the local coffee roaster.
Also get gently woken up, no alarm, and have sex every morning.
My mornings are the most ridiculously indulgent time, every day.
Janis Joplin is I think the best example of cat screeching in tune, on beat, in key. I find her both great and near unlistenable.
Oh come on. The rhetoric is insane . I live in Florida and price gouging during a hurricane or other emergency is absolutely illegal here, there's a hotline to call if you see it. There is a difference between raising prices because your costs have gone up, and price gouging. If the invisible hand of the market isn't working (big surprise, ha) that's what laws are for.
The no caffeine sodas I like best have too much sugar to drink often. Ginger Beer and Jarritos Grapefruit soda.
Spotify, Play Music, and YouTube Music all try to convince me I like Imagine Dragons and Trampled by Turtles. No matter how many thumbs down I thumbs down them, they make their way into playlists.
Well they did tell me I'm in the top 1% of listeners to Janelle Monae, but it would have to be someone lesser known.
Probably 3 Strikes by Joshua Ray Walker.
Well, I wake up happy every day because I don't really think anyone 'deserves' anything, including physical existence. So I am happy to be physically embodied, so happy nothing hurts most days and that I can move freely and breathe freely. I just kind of think anything above constant agony is above the baseline of existence.
I do think you can deserve things like pay for work, you can earn things. But even so, so many people get so much for nothing, and so many others get nothing for giving so much.
I will wish for your success beyond your expectations.
