asphaltcowgrrlI forgot about this over the weekend, so I"m missing a couple of days. Whoops.
Oooh... I think I just figured out my song for the songifc challenge. Hmm... Hal Ketchum's "Past the Point of Rescue" is very Andy.
Monday bonus: I took a survey for a company I sometimes buy coffee from and they sent me a coupon for a free 1 lbs bag. SCORE.
Rebel Deck: Eat your fucking vegetables. Eat some shit made by mother nature.
- I do this every day. I have a banana for a morning snack, raw veggies with my lunch, and a fruit with my afternoon snack. Go me.
Sinister Affirmation: You can accomplish whatever you set your mind to. Emerge without warning from the gaping maw of a hell portal. Let your tentacles stretch across the charred landscape. Drink the ocean. Decimate a cit with your horrifying shriek alone. You can do big things!
- This is hilarious and might get acted out on my co-workers if they aren't careful.
Exercise: LIIFT 4 Week 2 Day 1 - Chest and Triceps. 24 minutes, 188 cal. I also forgot to start my watch so the stats aren't accurate.
Reading:
Madness - Antonia Hylton - hardcover - 24%
Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - audiobook - 76% (+5% which is insane for 3 hours of audio)
The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper - Hollie Rubenhold - Kindle - 18%
Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder - Caroline Fraser - Library ebook (need to re-borrow) - 41%
Everybody Knows - Jordan Harper - paperback - 3%
Snake-Eater - T. Kingfisher - paperback ARC - 38% (+7%)
6:40 to Montreal - Eva Jurczyk - eARC - 80% (+1%)
That One Night - Emily Rath - Kindle - 31% (this novella is only 130 pages, why TF have I not finished it yet? 🤦♀️)
The Seven Mountains Mandate - Matthey Boedy - eARC - 58% (+18%)
The Possession of Alba Diaz - Isabel Cañas - audio - FINISHED
Watching:
Still nothing worth noting here. Just hockey and Next Level Chef. Oh, I lied - Abbott Elementary and Dancing with the Stars, too. I don't usually watch DWTS, but Taylor insisted.
In other news, the world is going to hell and I'm so overwhelmed by who I'm supposed to be supporting and who I'm supposed to be boycotting. Don't get me wrong, voting with your dollar is effective and importnat (look at Target), but I'm at a point where I almost don't know who I can and can't patronize. That's 100% a me thing though, and not a complaint. I'm just one of those people who really wants to do the right thing and often screws it all up by worrying too much or trying too hard.
I don't even know what I'm trying to say here anymore. I worry too much. Last week, I was asked a question about a recent signing and I had no idea how to respond becuase while I watch hockey, I don't really follow it, if that makes sense. I knew what the dude had been accused of, but I also didn't follow the trial very closely, which led me to have a very non-answer. And because of that, I worry that it wasn't a good enough response and I really don't want to alienate or upset the questioner.
But again, I don't know. Maybe I'll just eat my strawberries and stop worrying about things I can't control. Challenge Level: Impossible.

Date: 2025-10-21 10:43 pm (UTC)I have given up on the boycotting. While I get it and it works, my brain just can't process to figure it out... so I'm just doing what I need to do.

Date: 2025-10-22 12:00 am (UTC)I totally get it. Do what you can and that's all that can be asked! I will say though, that the Target boycott has helped me curb my spending by a lot. LOL

Date: 2025-10-23 02:56 am (UTC)I think your answer was pretty spot on given the circumstances. We don't have any control over it. All we can do is hope, like you said, for minimal playing time, and/or a groin pull. A very, very painful one.
I'm still here to talk hockey stuff anytime you want.

Date: 2025-10-23 04:53 pm (UTC)I'm relieved to hear that. Hahaha — I like the idea of a severe groin pull though. You are right though — all we can do it watch and hope.
Yay! I have no one else in my life that is even interested. However, Taylor and I will be attending the Nov 10th game at T-Mobile. Props to my boss who, anytime someone says, "I have free hockey tickets", he sends them straight to me. 😂
