Also, I know my son is absolutely tired of coming into the kitchen, smelling something delicious and once again it's fucking beans! When I have the money, I will absolutely throw down in the kitchen, and it will finally be steak or simply meat.

I'm just going to say it. 10k steps a day is a scam. You can get the same results and benefits with 7k. An important factor is that steps are based on stride, not distance. Lastly, the benefits/results are more extreme if you are going from sedentary to lightly active.

I have been thinking abt the person I need to apologize to--can't remember who exactly. They told me, yrs ago, I was not simply purging when using face cleaners. I was likely having allergic reactions/breakouts. While at my mom's, I used just water and moisturizer. Face has never been clearer.

The biggest lesson I learned from 2020 is take the wins, the joy when you can. The pope told a Catholic--a facist one--he wasn't shit, then died?

This is right next to me. He's on the floor. I am on my bed. Do y'all think he missed me?

4 years since my last published book, and I have only killed one computer. A Mac, at that. By now, I would have killed at least 2, and the third would be on its last leg. I was the drama.
