- Star bandaids/acne stickers seem to be popular.
- No more shoe removal at tsa however they did forget my scissors in my school supply bag; myself included.
- Crop tops are everywhere and tight fitting clothing is pretty popular.
- Regardless of gender, I do not like being called diminutive names like sweety and honey esp by random people/clerks I don’t know. It seems to come from ages 40 and up. Feels intrusive and cringy.
- Apparently Dr Pepper zero has no artificial sweeteners. It tastes good.
- We saw mountains being mined on the way to the Grand Canyon; not sure what was being mined.
- The quality of sound on podcasts is very important to me. Inaudible mumbling bothers me.
- I have come to learn the importance of Makeup brushes
- Plastic straws rule but I don’t miss plastic bags.
- I’m finally ready to get rid of cable tv.
- Life continues to change and go slowly simultaneously.
- I continue to only need 3-4 weeks of vacation. Too much off is not good for me however a half a day teaching and 4 day weeks would be stellar.
- In 2005, I could have never thought I’d have the opportunity to marry. In 2015, I could have never predicted all that has happened in the last decade.
- In the past few months I have been able to eat less often and sit with hunger more. Last year my Fitbit health score was “poor to fair” and this it is “fair to average.” Climbing in and out of the canyon was not as hard this year without 15lb additional lbs. Good habits are settling.
- Assumption and judgement continues to be a scourge on our mortality. I guess we can’t all get along.
