One of the true joys of #MiddleAge: waking up at 4:30am because you worked out a little too hard yesterday, your body aches all over, and somehow that shit wakes you up 🤦🏽♂️

More Notes & Asides
One benefit of #thrifting is finding stuff I like that I would never have buying new since I don’t shop for clothes anymore. We found a pair of #LuckyBrand #pants in my size and I now have a favorite brand of pants. They’re straight leg, soft (kinda like brushed twill), stretchy (but don’t look like stretchy plastic), and so light and comfortable that it barely felt that I had pants on. Their only flaw is a lack of a dedicated celphone pocket, but I still want a few pairs for regular use. And since we were in the mall yesterday as our 18yo looked for places to apply for jobs, I noticed that straight leg & boot cut pants are back, and many have celphone pockets. I need to stock up on those for the next 25y before they go out of style again.
Right now, I’m doing something I thought I’d never do in my life: drink decaffeinated #coffee. I learned quickly that #Vyvanse + coffee = Jitters From Hell so I’ve avoided coffee these 3 weeks. That royally messed up my morning routine, which included blending 30g of protein into my coffee, which prevents me from getting stupid hangry mid-morning and resorting to eating anything I can get my hands on. I’m glad to say it doesn’t taste like watered down coffee 😂 #ADHD #AuADHD
This #Caturday, have a #cat butt. I’m also testing writing in #WordPress first & crossposting to #Mastodon; I added some #IndieWeb functionality to pull comments to posts like this into #WP. #FunFact: my #Skyrim character name was Catbutt and yes, I was #Khajiit. #Cats #CatsOfMastodon #CaturdayEverday
Just shared this with my kids. It is good to know how long political things take when it seems like nothing is happening. It took Biden & his team 6 months to get through Mike Johnson’s skull. Politics & diplomacy are delicate processes and things are rarely as simple as we wish. This was simple vs how complex & multifaceted the situation with Israel, Iran, et al is. This is also why experience matters. Young pols might talk the talk but getting things done is a completely different ballgame. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/24/politics/white-house-ukraine-funding-push/index.html
This confuses me so much, part of me wants to break shit and the other part just wants to groove #music #JudasPriest #MichaelJackson #80s #mashup
