Friday 5: Stand up proudly in true peace of mind

Happy Friday! Today is National Coffee Milkshake Day (I do not like coffee flavor in solid foods), National Aunt and Uncle Day (yay!) and also another Summer Friday. Mom and I went to the beach and the weather was postcard perfect. Chef’s kiss. It’s been so hot this summer that if you told me the the sun grew 4 feet in diameter I’d believe it. But today was bliss.

Anyway, it is 10:26pm and I’m exhausted so let’s kick out this Friday 5 so I don’t have to write it tomorrow and backdate it like I did the Wordless Wednesday this week. Oops!

The theme is Stand up proudly in true peace of mind. Let’s go!

  1. When did you last (literally or figuratively) feel the earth move?
    When we had that earthquake back in April. I have felt two earthquakes and I’d be happy to not experience again.
  2. What’s so far away?
    Having a body that doesn’t hurt? PT is kicking my shoulder.
  3. What is it too late for?
    Me to be blogging lucidly? (Oh! It’s a Carole King theme!)
  4. When did you recently long to be home again and feeling right?
    Honestly, whenever I’m away from home for more than a few nights. I love to travel but I also love coming home.
  5. Which five beautiful things did you see this week?
    1) The beach today; 2) A complex series of processes and procedures that I stitched together at work actually working; 3) the slow but growing crop of tomatoes from the garden; 4) Salsa WM made from those tomatoes in our garden; 5) a groundswell of support for Kamala Harris.

That’s all, folks! Goodnight!

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
