šso there were lots of nice moments!! among my favorites:
ā¢ saw a great movie at my friendās favorite and very cool theater
ā¢ enjoyed the presence of other writers during an hour of work on our projects
ā¢ explored a quirky used bookstore
ā¢ had several late night, falling-asleep-as-youāre-speaking chats with my friend of 26 years, just as weāve always done
ā¢ laughed hard
ā¢ friend beat me to saying āi love youā and i realized how often iām the first to say it in relationships/interactions and hearing it offered (instead of automatically returned) helped balm something i didnāt know was wounded
ā¢ proved to myself that even though i can never outrun my OCD, i can do more alongside it than i thought i could

Like many who came before me I also have been busy experiencing lifeā¢ļø I went camping with like 25 other lesbians, had an entire no tech day(phone died) and it changed me fundamentally. I work in digital marketing during the week so the thought of my phone being completely inaccessible is beyond my imagination. Having now been able to just completely unplug made me realize how little work life balance I have and so iāve been working hard to change that.
Outside of that, the camping trip also introduced me to a lot of new people Iām particularly excited to get to know. I felt like I was able to connect with several others for a wider variety of reasons than usual, tapping into even more niche interests to create bonds with new friends.
Iāve become tired of being on the grind 24/7 and having to crunch activities in between or before shifts. I told my boss at the restaurant that iāll be cutting back, which hopefully means iāll have a full day off once a week starting in September.
I still have plans to get a cat in the fall, aiming for October as a safe bet. Will be asking more cat related questions here soon!
I also learned some shit and keeping learning shit about my family that continues to age me at a more rapid pace than usual. There are the horrors, but we persist!
I also got a tat this weekend :) I posted it on instagram and a friend from college that I had lost touch with told me they got Haku in the same spot š„²ā„ļø
Anyway, missing all the PI-friends iāve made and sending you all hugs, especially those who have been experiencing life too
