Literally Mae

Charlotte: <starts hurking up a hairball in my closet all over my shoes, snapping me out of a dream and sending me leaping out of bed> Me: “oh pleaseeee be like 4:45” <3:37> Guess I’m up now 😞. Haven’t made it to my 5:00 alarm once this week.

Had a very productive conversation with J over the weekend. It's hard because I want to share more details of his situation in hopes of getting advice/suggestions, but I also don't want to go posting his business all over the internet, no matter how anonymous I'm keeping it. He explained his reasoning for the action that I interpreted as a step backward, and while I understand that reasoning, I do not believe it's a real solution to his predicament. But the alternative isn't a good solution either. Even though this is far beyond anything I've experienced myself and I can't relate in any way whatsoever, I recognize that there's no correct answer. It's 100% choosing the lesser of 2 evils. He did get pretty candid and said he's at a point in his life where he knows he needs to make some changes, and that I'm one of the influences behind that (so yay, being a light is partially working at least). He said above all, he's going to focus on self-improvement. If that fixes his situation, great. If it just means he comes out the other side a better person, then that's all he can ask for. So it does sound like he's starting to get on the right track, but where precisely that track will take him, I don't know. He brought up the invitations to church, both from me and the fellow dad from his son's football team, and said he's had multiple people or things bring up the topic of God lately. He admitted that feels significant. I told him I thought it would be REALLY good if he went to that men's group the other dad invited him to. He said yeah, he really doesn't have any friends, and that seems like a good place to make some friends and connections. Me: <Jack Nicholson nod.gif> I actually gave him a little men's devotional that just has a short daily blurb with some applicable scripture. You can either follow it by date or check the index to find specific topics. He told me the next day that he opened to a random page and it was about a subject we've discussed at length, and he found that very interesting. Same, tbh. And during our initial conversation when he was talking about wanting to reset and make some changes, I was like dude, I have a verse I have to send you. Jeremiah 18:1-4 had come up in one of my own devotionals a few days prior, and I'd screenshotted it just because I thought it was cool. But it ended up being so applicable to what he was talking about. So I will continue praying for wisdom for him, that he can figure out what direction he wants his life to go and then identify the best path to get there. I say "best" rather than "correct," because, as I said, I'm still not sure if there's one "correct" answer here. He's gonna have to make some choices. I still pray that he'll be willing to get to know Jesus—I think that alone could help so much.

There was truly no way to do this morning’s sunrise justice. Multiple people were coming out of the gym to look at it. I even ran across the field to get to the other side of those trees and still couldn’t capture a halfway decent picture of what it really looked like.

Still trying out the interval running thing and these two pieces have already become a staple

Not sure what it is, but any time I smash one of my fingers—no matter how hard—I get absolutely nauseated like 5 minutes after the fact, even if the pain has subsided by then. Squished my thumb in the car door this morning and it’s absolutely ruining my workout 😩

Me, every year, at this time: “Okay let’s see, it’s probably time to start getting ready for bed—oh.” It’s 5:30.

It is 4:00 AM, aka what used to be 5:00 AM, aka the time I normally get up (at least on weekdays). My cats:

Really liking how this is turning out 🤩. Wanted to go with kind of an outdoorsy color scheme, but Michael’s was out of the floss color I’d planned on using for “fish” so I had to improvise. Now I need to update the whole template because I like this new color better than the one I’d originally picked.

Current status: resisting the urge to go to Michael’s and spend money on craft supplies I don’t need for projects I don’t have time for

My sister and her family are in Hawaii rn and she keeps sending me pictures of all the food they’re eating 😭

One time I introduced a character already knowing death was on the menu and I still made myself sad 😂 With another, it struck me somewhere in book 4 that the character would need to die in book 5. Still made me sad, but the story also called for it, and I think it was for the best.

Listening to music while working. A piece from Rogue One was playing. I glanced absentmindedly at the screen from a distance and thought the progress bar was glitching. Took me way too long to realize what I was looking at 😂
