Yes! I managed to find an awesome pumpkin to carve! 🎃 What kind of face should I make? Spooky? Cute? A bit of both? 🤔

Just finished my first singing lesson since getting back from Taiwan. My instructor wanted to see how my sustainment and phrasing has improved so I sang "Stars" from Les Miserables and "Hellfire" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. For "Hellfire" I really leaned into portraying a villain, which she said she really liked. I felt a bit shy at first, but it was really fun. 😁 For the next recital, she thinks I should either sing "Stars" or "This is the Moment" from Jekyll & Hyde. Both are recital ready, which makes me happy, especially considering how difficult of a song "This is the Moment" was at first. 🎶

The bulb in our walk-in closet went out. Lighting in there was always a bit on the dim side, so I replaced it with a 60 watt LED bulb. It's now incredibly bright. How bright, you ask? 🤔 If it were any brighter, folks would think an alien abduction was happening. 🛸🐄😂

Well, this was quite the surprise to come across while mowing the lawn. 😳 Nothing a bow saw and gorilla cart can't fix. Here's to being productive while jet lagged! 🍻😁

Aaaaaaand I'm home! I love traveling, but sleeping in your own bed is simply the best. Now I get to work while jetlagged. 😅 I'm on my third cup of coffee. Please send more.

Flying back home in style. 😎

The tiny a camera I bought for my travel buddy, Domo-kun, makes him look like he's a tourist living his best life. 🤣

Yup. This is it. I've finally found it. The perfect curtain to hang in the doorway to my home office. 12/10. No notes.

Maybe I visited two stores and bought their entire stock. I now have enough to last me two years. 😁

This art installation is huge! It gave me quite a freight. 😏 😆

I bought some spooky donuts from one of the bakeries in the mall. By the time I got them home, they looked a bit traumatized. 🤣 The left one was guava flavored and the one on the right was matcha.

After two years of waiting, I was finally able to have it again: Dark chocolate soft serve ice cream from Godiva. 🤤
