milano, that reminds me of the time that I was the creepy person that scared someone (obviously without meaning to be). I used to walk everywhere in all weather for exercise. My street doesn't have sidewalks so it's not great for walking, but it's fine. So I always tried to walk somewhere else, but if the end of the day came and I hadn't met my step goal, I would go out onto my street. One summer night it was late and pouring rain, so I put on my rain coat and new rain pants to went outside. I got about two doors down when I realized that my rain pants weren't adequately around my boots and letting in water. So I bent over to try to adjust my pants. My pants were being annoying so I was struggling with them for a while. I didn't realize that I was right next to my neighbor's mailbox and electrical something (I'm not actually sure what it is - some kind of electrical box). But after a few minutes my very scared neighbor came out with an umbrella and a quivering bravado in his voice. Him: Can I help you?! Me: What? Him: What are you doing???!! Me: Adjusting my pants Him: What? Me: I'm your neighbor from [address] and taking a walk in the rain. My rain pants were letting in the water, so I was adjusting them. Him: Your? What? Oh. Hi. Have a good walk! Me: Thank you! Good night! I think about that exchange a lot. Hopefully that is all that was happening across the way from you. I feel like that is indeed the most likely scenario. The scrambling into the woods kind of threw me, but perhaps the person had car trouble or something? I don't know.

Omg milano that is so fucking terrifying. If you weren’t already, I would straight up tell you that you have to move now. And also when I was on the phone with the police I kept losing service, thankfully I didn't actually drop the call. Then when I called MH the call dropped like 4 times. I was basically screaming. I need you to nope octopus gif straight oughtta those woods directly to your safe new well-lit neighborhood.

Cold coffee because I didn’t have time to drink it. I had to switch all of my classes from hybrid to remote with 3 days notice (which is 2 days more than I had last spring, so progress.) Do you know what 7th graders can do to an interactive whiteboard? Neither did I. None of it was inappropriate and they did in fact answer the question I asked, but I swear the the background color was changing so fast it was flashing and the fonts kept getting bigger until one word would fill the whole screen. I keep telling myself that this will all make a great story someday.

Neither of us got the house. I'm kind of relieved.

So apparently yesterday disappeared into a blackhole somehow, but I got my CBD tea yesterday morning and drank it yesterday and today and... guys... it's kind of actually working!? It's like very much not a clinical dosage, but I'm definitely feeling like a lot of my brain fog is gone, and like I'm able to have a little bit more focus and control over my emotions. I think I'm liking this.
