choir season is over. I need to clean my desk. this and more on important updates at eleven

good bye choir season.

it will return in september, but until then I have free monday nights

our new MSM episode is pretty good imoMurder-Suicide Matinee: The Emoji Movie

kinda randomly bummed out today

callen was mean to me this morning u_u

he's in a very Favoring Chris phase and literally wouldn't even make eye contact with me? wtf man

a villain

how dare he :c

he even gave me a little smack on the face when I got too close-- and he doesn't do it with the goal of hurting, I think it's just A New Thing We Can Do With Hands

but it still felt bad

my mom suggested I be very clear that it makes me hurt/sad when this happens, which he may not understand rn since he's only about a year and a half, but seems good to instill a sense of empathy

we're also working on teaching him to hold/hug/play nice with stuffed animals instead of throwing them

little kids are sociopaths

just did a workout thing that was very good and the correct activity level for my decrepit post-baby husk but I also IMMEDIATELY fucked my hip up which is funny

not like actual injury, just. gears creaking back into motion

man I'm sorry

it's this guy if anyone is interestedBody Slimming Workout | POP Pilates for Beginners

it's ok! my body just needs to relearn how to move in ways that aren't Pick Up Baby related

man pilates is so good and low-inpact and then suddenly ur joints are old

right?

Tell Callen I said he better be nice to you

I will

there are youths mowing my lawn right now. I've truly made it as a white woman in suburbia

pippin was losing his absolute god damn mind yesterday as they psyched themselves up to come to our door and ask if we needed it

I had pip in one hand and callen int he other like WHAT. WHAT DO YOU WANT

they're like. ten probably. kids trying to make a buck on their summer vacation

chris of course was weird about it but I'm like man cmon it'll keep them from doing drugs behind the winco or whatever bored kids do around here

youths!!!!

YOUTHS

pippin is soooo maaaad

shouting at children is his enrichment

also I got invited golfing by a stranger

"I hope I didn't disturb your beautiful day"

we're friends now

this could be a wrong number or it could be the beginning of one of those pig butchering schemes. either way you should keep talking to them forever.

excuse me I'm going to need more information on that second one

they're scams where people start by messaging you with a wrong number text implying they're doing something that wealthy people do, then after some convo they try to let you know how they made their money in crypto or whatever

where do the pigs come in

oh lmao

Pig butchering scam - Wikipedia

it's possible

someone tried to scam me once before where it was like oh no why are you standing me up

and I was like wrong number but I hope he arrives

and it turned into 'thank you that's nice, here's what I look like' and I was like you look great, have a good night

and then the nudes began

I wasn't ready for that step in our friendship
