serafaeryTIL how to check wifi signal strength so that I can make sure to have a decent video chat at my studio next week for group therapy - we do it online (everyone else is in the Ann Arbor/Detroit area with my therapist) and this week I'm working at the studio right up until the call starts so wanted to make sure I could connect here strongly enough for the call to work (the tech is a little tetchy and requires a very strong wifi signal, which this studio does not provide - my hotspot however will do the job, I learned).
Finished sparkling, brought my laptop to finish my work here while traffic is thick and will get some groceries and drive home after it dies down.
I'm getting really good at opening thai young coconuts with my newly sharpened chef's knife, and also at eating entire thai young coconuts in a single sitting. SO YUM.
I will put my hair back into space buns again before I leave here.
Grateful for a/c! It's 92 and muggyyyyyyy. Back down to 70s/80s the rest of the week, thankfully. Might try hiking silver star mountain tomorrow. It's the only place I've ever seen pika. (I hear them lots of places but have only laid eyes on one at silver star.) It's bear grass time and such a beautiful little mountain, nestled between the gorge and several cascade volcanoes (rainier, helens, hood, adams).
I'm tirrrrrrrrrred but my headache is gone thankfully!
I was in the worst mood yesterday and this morning but I feel so much better now. Work fixes it, sometimes. I had a wonderful morning, cleaning and cooking and showering and taking care of my cat and my husband. I made him a beautiful lunch. And myself also! Green salad and salmon salad for him. Purple food for me. (Cabbage and radishes with the last of the porchini mushroom gifted from the mountain.)
I barely ate yesterday due to the migraine. I was so nauseated. It's done wonders for my waistline. Back on my veggie and chai pudding kick, for now. With fresh thai young coconuts as a lil treat. Want to try to keep this going. My joints will thank me. And my vanity.
Tentative date with Finley Thursday? It's not tentative but we've already rescheduled twice, so, fingers crossed. I miss him. But I can't say those words to him. He won't say it back. Although he did say once, a year or two ago, when talking about leaving the country, "You're the only person outside of the polycule I would miss." He cares somewhat, or at least, he used to.
I keep listening to Rey's Theme in the car and playing Star Wars scenes in my head. It's such a fantasy land. Why does no one in space ever use a toilet. I think they are all angels. With angel-propelled aircraft. And somehow endless fuel and batteries that never die, somehow there is always charging available. I struggle with a lot of suspension of disbelief, the constant contradictions within the plot, the senseless violence, treating life as sacred and meaningless simultaneously. But I also love love love the feelings that universe evokes.

Date: 2026-06-16 09:44 am (UTC)I feel the same about Star Wars! The childhood and adulthood versions run at the same time. Also I had not thought about Space Buns for years. I had a buzzcut when I watched the movie first but now I have enough hair to do the three buns. You may have started a fashion!
