I feel like I’ve been allowing myself to get into a bit of a routine that’s bordering on a rut (well, for this Gemini, anyway), and I need to do something to shake it up. I’m really missing burning, and that’s exacerbated by seeing so many people go off to the mecca in the desert this week. I’m trying to remember that only I have the power to change my routine and I can instill the pillars of burning here at home, but the reality is it’s still a bit difficult some days or chunks of days to wrap my head around. That compound with PMS has made this quite a week! Hah!
But I did get to go to my friends’ Mo and Kat’s house for a little party, hang out on their roof deck, and celebrate the final sale of their place. I’ve continued to work a lot, put together the Awesome Plan surprise packages, and have been doing my best to budget.
I also want to strongly recommend “Elder Millenial” by Iliza Shlesinger which is on Netflix. It’s hilarious and inspirational, albeit pretty hetero-normative. And I also watched Kesha’s movie, “Rainbow” on Apple Music (which you can download as a free trial app — it had a lot of glitches and make sure you put a reminder down to cancel the free subscription so you don’t get charged). It’s short, but powerful, and a look into her struggle with eating disorders and the sexual abuse trial she had to deal with for years. But she came out the other side on a rainbow!
Today is the LAST DAY to sign up for Round 16 of the Snail Mail Game Show. If you sign up after today, you’ll be enrolled in Round 17 which won’t happen for a couple months.
Later today, I’ll be doing an Instagram Live talk on how to get yourself out of a bad mood! Join in at 7 PM!
Here’s what I’ve been into lately…
