“The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s ‘own’ or ‘real’ life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life—the life God is sending one day by day: what one calls one’s ‘real life’ is a phantom of one’s own imagination.”
— C.S. Lewis

“Sometimes healing comes in the flickering candlelight and steaming coffee at three in the morning, or laughter on the face of a dear friend, or moments of stillness and empathy in the presence of one who knows your story in a way no one else does. I used to pray for healing, but now, I pray for the humility to be seen and known and in turn to see and know those around me. Maybe ‘being healed’ is an illusion imposed by a society that values end goals over the process. Maybe there is more to life than getting rid of the suffering and pain and maybe there is beauty to be found in the midst of our darkest moments. Perhaps there is no singular destination to this journey called life, but perhaps the journey is worth it in its own right.”

They weren’t kidding when they said that the caffeine level of their 20-hour Cold Brew is STRONG. I say POTENT is a more accurate description.
Was lethargic, called for back-up, got what I wanted. 👌

Not that anyone cares but I bought a new toy—a weapon against mosquitoes, if you will.
But, alas, it only works with Mi Home if the app’s region is set to China. Thankfully, Dual Apps exist. Not only was I able to successfully connect the new Insect Repellent to my phone, I was also FINALLY able to put the smarts back to two power strips which remained ‘dumb’ since I bought them last year. Why did I not find this solution earlier?!
Now that all IoT devices at home are connected—albeit running separately on two instances of the same app which, truth be told, is better than nothing—the only logical question to ask is: “What can I connect next?”

Would have wanted to see it crawl out of its skin but that would have been creepy. 🦟

Me: Lola will like her dress.
Thursday: Lola will buy that dress?
Me: No, Lola will like that dress.
Xandra: Awwww yes, she will like that.
Thursday: I will buy that for Lola.
Me: But she’s not here anymore.
Thursday: Daddy, when I grow old, and when I get sick, I will hold that dress.
Me: Why?
Thursday: So when I die and I get to heaven, I will give it to her. 😭
Thursday: And Lola will tell me, “Thank you, Thursday, I like it.”
