Friday Five 4.2.2021

1. I walked past the catholic church at the end of my street while Holy Thursday mass was in session last night. A door was propped open and I could hear singing. It would be nice if all church doors were open and welcoming of all people. As they are.  

2. Friday reminder from your favorite (?) feminist buzzkill to drink your water. 

3. I love seeing discarded flowers on the beach. I think up all kinds of stories surrounding them. 

4. We're under construction replacing our apartment entry off the drive here to attempt to address a structural issue in the house. Door replacement is next, all doors are finally in. 

5. You need these in your Easter baskets, peeps. My oreo testing family friends Ashley & John & their girls had these on the Instagram and I was like hell yes these are for me and they were, indeed, for me. 

What else? Kate and Dan are up in the house with the kids. Mom and Rich and Debbie were supposed to be here also, but best laid plans...Mom sent food though! 

I put all my Covid vaccine stuff in a story highlight on Instagram. 

My back is out like the 44 year old I am, and I was googling local chiros last night since mine is in Philly and I haven't seen him since February 2020. I also googled elderly foot care for foot pain and came up with articles about seniors so maybe elderly is not a good word for my age LOL. I bought heat tape for the shore to add to my pre-season list and have plans to hit the local meat shop around the corner as they open this weekend. 

You? 

Happy Friday, Happy Passover as I only said that out loud on Instagram last week, and Happy Easter! 

Thursday Thoughts - Inside you the time moves and she don't fade

1. Last year BarkBox was sold out of roses and this year I got them and my life has been made. 

2.  Outside views

3. Inside views. Not much happening here. I have watched more than an advisable amount of weasel motherfucker Congress people advocating for healing and unity after they've spent four years doing the opposite. Cry me a fucking river ya fucks. I've also watched The Wilds and that is...wild. Disturbing.

4.  Hydration is one of my only goals this year. I met it every day this week. My key is a bottle I know. Like this is 40 ounces. So I need to be finished two and working my way towards the end of three by the end of the night. Done and done. I’m also in the peppermint tea every day phase of winter. STASH only.

5. My return to a paper to do list has served me well this week. I'm back to focusing on tasks and completing them but my brain still moves slower than it used to before the world stopped. Tomorrow I might even add in some external errands like return library books. Get salad things. Go to post office. In Covid times I feel an illicit thrill to go places. 

6. Things my phone advertised to me yesterday: living walls (learn more, I actually think these are super cool), Dsoro.com which showed me shoes initially but I also saw a purple sweater advertised with jeans I am now obsessed with finding and of course, cannot; and https://cruitscout.com/ I guess because I have been sourcing content creators online. Where are my Philly area freelance writers?

7. The outgoing president and everyone in government who has propped him up even after he incited a violent insurrection is going to be a long lasting shitstain on this country. Less than a week until he leaves the White House. The white supremacy does not leave with him. 

8. I freaking howled over this:

9. Reminder:

10. E-cards: Remember wearing clothes to work?

What appears beyond the hyphen in Thursday Thoughts titles is what I'm listening to when I'm starting this - this week is The Ghost in You by The Pyschedelic Furs
