I feel like this is misleading because almost everything I checked yes on I did before I turned 18 and that was more than two decades ago.

Good morning.
A selfie of me and my dog Mabel. Mabel's head is in the foreground while I am peeking out from behind her. Mabel is a small black and white dog with perky ears and dark eyes looking straight at the camera. I have short hair and am smiling.

Another good thing this week, this sunset after a day of clouds and rain.

I wanted to share another good thing from this week. We had this sunset yesterday, unexpectedly, after a day of clouds and rain.

But then not bullying myself through it means actually having to deal with All The Feelings which also feels scary so.

Anyway a nice thing about this week is that Kid the Younger had a day off school so we went to some of our favorite free spots and I wanted to share that with you.

Sunset a little while back.
A parking lot at sunset. The pavement is wet from rain and reflects the yellow of the sun setting in a blue sky with white and light Grey clouds.

Marvelous Ms. Mabel here with a comfort cuddle.
Me, a white woman with short hair, peeking over the back of a black and white chihuahua who is laying on my chest and turning her face towards the camera.

Mabel, bless her, does not like it when I cry. She barks about it until I pick her up and then refuses to be put down.

Hello if you are also in a state of high anxiety today please see this
A small black and white chihuahua laying on her back on my lap, she has her tongue out kicking her lips and looks generally goofy. A small black and white chihuahua laying on her back in my lap, her mouth is wide open because she is yawning. Close up of the face of a small black and white chihuahua laying on her back on my lap, she has her tongue poking out of her mouth slightly and her eyes are open wide but she's looking downward so the whites are exposed and the overall impression is pretty silly.

Okay friends.

Good news: I've got a new job!

Bad news: It doesn't start for a month!. Unemployment isn't enough, and rent is due tomorrow.

I need to raise $2500 to bring this balance back to positive and cover rent and utilities.

Made it out into the sunshine today. It helped.

Just know if you're setting off fireworks in a suburban neighborhood today, you're also making all the Very Good Boys look like this.

Here, that frowny crease between your eyebrows while you're scrolling tells me you might could use this.

A cloudy sunset, behind a line of trees the sky is a bright yellow/orange, and the clouds directly above are almost neon pink, while further above they turn purple leading into blue/grey.

Calm, still river at sunset. The water looks silvery with a mirror finish, the gold and orange sunset and sparse clouds reflected in it, along with a wooden tower structure in the middle of the river.
