I'm really sorry that the word "yeet" seems to have fallen out of fashion. Maybe one of my favorite slang words of all time.

I like being in my new house. I still have boxes everywhere, and I'm not even close to being done decorating, but it's starting to have an energy I can connect to.

I'm not feeling good today. I've got inflammation throughout my whole system, brought on in part (I'm sure) by stress. I left work at lunch today because I'm in pain.

A week ago this house would not have felt like comfort yet, but it's starting to.

I'm rewatching the episodes with The Silence now. Excellent, excellent monsters.

If I had the ability to teleport, I would probably spend a lot of time going to the thrift and antique stores I see on TikTok that aren't remotely close to where I live.

But something I for sure want to do in the near future is plan a road trip specifically to hit up some stores in other places.

Years ago, in a window of time when I wasn't working, EH and I took a road trip from Oklahoma up to Washington state, down to Los Angeles and back to Oklahoma in a camper. We took our time and camped along the way. I think we were on the road for about 3 weeks.

I would love to do something similar, but with a little box trailer on the back of a truck, hitting up thrift stores and antique shops in all the little towns along the way.

Today has been a day of friends and gifts.

This morning I went to breakfast with a former coworker, whom I hadn't seen in almost a year. That was really nice.

I received a colorful gift from a friend!

Last weekend I gave my new neighbors an extra memory foam mattress I had that I didn't need, and a concrete bird bath, and today they brought me a bottle of wine and a 6-pack of beer with a lovely thank you note. I can already tell this is going to be a great relationship.

And EH came over to install a storm door with a doggy door in anticipation of overnights with the puppies.

The side of the box in which the wine was gifted says "Drink Me". It's hard to imagine that it's not an Alice in Wonderland reference, and Alice is an important symbol of mine, so this was an extra special surprise.
