I did it! I did some tapping to ground myself and paid attention to what colors the sounds looked like and paid attention to where the sounds resonated in my body. I can’t wait for the next session πŸ€—

Couldn’t concentrate for shit at the last sound bath. I didn’t sleep worth a damn last night so I’m hoping for a more restful experience today.

Update, foot still hurts but not as badly. I’m going to move the walk around and look at pretty stuff activities to tomorrow but the sound bath and massage are a must.

Reminds me of one summer my kid went to stay with my mother and I was going to have the summer of Lisa. It was Crown Royal night at the Black Rep & the liquor was free! I was chatting it up with Tony Scott (STL people know), went home, tripped over a shoe & spent the summer w a broken toe & a cane

I have an amazing Saturday planned. Art in Bloom, the orchid show, a sound bath and then a massage. And what did I do tonight? Twist and turn on my foot coming out of the Black history concert at the symphony tonight 😭 it hurts like hell & I keep trying to convince myself it’ll be fine in the a.m.

Coworker says, β€œaw, she’s saying you look like a princess.” That child looked me dead in my face and said β€œnaw, she looks like the frog.” 🐸

In more β€œworking with teen girls will humble you,” today I had one kid locked in the bathroom refusing to come out because I asked her to repeat what she mumbled, not on some trying to be slick but I really didn’t hear what she said. Another kid walks up & says I look like the Princess & the Frog

Sometimes it is really crazy to me that I woke up one day at 50, decided to change careers, applied to grad school, got a masters in a completely different field, and found a job that aligns with something I’m passionate about.

Friend told me to stop by and pick up a Super Bowl plate. This girl sent me home with some πŸ”₯ rotel & chips, 7-layer salad, wings, mostaccioli (IYKYK) and pineapple upside down cake.

Anyway, he numbed me at 8 and 5 hours later I’M STILL NUMB! I made the appointment for my other filling with his wife. I’ll just have to work out my schedule because I never want his dry ass again.

Was mad but I didn’t care. The hygienist was really nice but his crappy bedside manner and his refusal to play music in the room didn’t help. Music is a big coping skill for me & the only sounds in the room were the drill & some other machine so I didn’t have any distractions.

I had the weirdest experience at the dentist today. It’s a husband/wife team & I prefer the wife but ended up with the husband. I was getting 2 fillings replaced. He was halfway through the first one & I couldn’t breath, full on anxiety. Had to ask if we could just do one today. I could tell he

This episode of Law & Order I’m watching is so old Paul Sorvino and Chris Noth are the lead detectives, Richard Brooks is the ADA and S Epatha Merkerson hadn’t joined the cast yet.

I’m never beating the awkward allegations. My coworker said he was leaving early for a funeral and needed to pick up food for the repast.
Me: I’m so sorry for your loss. hook me up with some funeral meatballs.
Why would I say that? I don’t even know who died. That man could be grieving grieving.

Girl, my boss left us all working Friday and didn’t say boo. And her boss was off and her boss’s boss doesn’t even darken our hallway. I knew I should have gone to get it yesterday before it got bad.

Going to a soundbath today. First time, very excited to experience it. And I’m hosting a sleepover soirΓ©e so my crew and I can reflect on 2025 and set our intentions for 2026 while bonding in our fancy pjs. πŸ€—

This man sent me his number through messenger because we haven’t talked in forever & I forgot why that was until I scrolled back to messages from
2017 when he was super homophobic. Like β€œreal men don’t cross their legs” homophobic. β€œI wouldn’t claim my son if he was gay” homophobic. NEVER calling.

And honestly, this woman takes a week to respond to calls and texts, I didn’t feel the need to respond immediately. But also, I’m already overwhelmed by life & I know she must want something, even while
recognizing that I’m
drained.
