Watching:
Wearing: a shirt from my work and denim shorts.
Annoyed by: Sam’s Club not letting me order the mayo I want (in the Best Foods squeeze bottle).
Craving: nothing. Daisy and I made 150 cookies tonight, and I had to taste test too many of them. But really, I had to make sure they were decent because I swapped out half the butter for applesauce.
Buying: a missionary wardrobe, lots and lots of food (for girls’ camp and for Nicky’s mission open house), and gas (I’m currently doing five pickups/drop offs a day for my kids each weekday).
Eating: leftover baked potatoes which I crafted into potato salad.
Laughing about: the employees at the baseball stadium playing “Closing Time” to get us loiterers to leave the other night.
Singing: “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye.
But also “Closing Time.”
Suffering from: PMDD like clockwork. Watch out for Day 19.
Dreading: sleeping. I have the most miserable nights. I can’t sleep. I sweat. My feet hurt. I kick all night. I have to get up and pee at least three times. I’m always wide awake at 4:00 a.m. and if I finally shut down, the birds in the tree outside my window start their morning banter, and I want to pull my hair out.
Proud of myself for: nothing lately.
Missing: Jonathan Taylor Thomas
Drinking: Diet Coke. I’ve never been a Diet Coke girl. In fact, I’ve always found it quite disgusting. But something the past month, it’s become my drink. I don’t even know how to handle this life change!
Enjoying: having a helpful daughter. Daisy has been a gem lately. Not always… but often.
Sick of: Zoe and Eva fighting over everything. How to pronounce words… the names of characters in TV shows… the order of the planets in the solar system… song lyrics… whose dollar is on the counter… they have a special gift for turning anything into an argument.
Listening to:
I’m still having a really hard time reading and listening to audiobooks.
Loving: gardening season. It’s one of the only things I like about summer.
Hating: my hair. I’ve lost about 75% of my hair in the past three years. I have no idea why. The texture has completely changed. It’s so thin and so short. It’s stiff and dry. It doesn’t style. I’ve tried so many products and hair systems, and nothing helps. Last week I had a protein treatment done, and I don’t think it’s made a darn difference.
Hoping: to take advantage of all of the days off and go on some little vacations during the coming school year (winter break is 28 days long - heaven help me!)
Wanting: a vintage Bronco convertible or a vintage VW bug.
Wondering: how I manage to accidentally take screenshots almost everyday, why my finger always ends up in my photos, and how I’m going to survive in the world as AI takes over.
Feeling: rather tired. I’ve been up since 4:00 a.m. and I hit the ground running today.
Cooking: Slow Cooker Asian Pork (which we used in rice bowls).
Avoiding: paying medical bills. This year has been a doozy so far.
Needing: a phone detox and several hours of deep meditation, even though both of those things sound awful.
Grateful for: pleasant people. Now I just need to try harder to be one.
