Audio (MP3): 20180702 - I eat more when I'm happy

Based on my scientific observations and the data I’ve collected as of late, I’ve found that I eat more when I’m happy. When I’m stressed I don’t want to eat at all.

Now then, please note that I’ve gained 37 pounds over the last two months.

In related news, I don’t know why I wear white. Because then everybody knows what I’ve been eating.

So the interesting part of this story. While I was amusing myself with my formula on the drive to work, a feeling came blurting its way into my scientific stream of thought:

“Now, since this is all over, you can finally have your way.”

I don’t know why that thought came barging in, it just did. Shit bubbles to the surface for no apparent reason. And this time I was like “wow” since it was so far removed from what I’d previously been thinking and I immediately recognized it as residue.

Feel the emotions and let them go. I bet 99% of the time there isn’t a reason as to why we have them.

Pearl was drunk under the couch when Maggie and I got home tonight.

No judgement, I been there.

I just went outside for a morning photoshoot with these guys and instantly broke out into a crushing, humid sweat that would break Satan’s balls. So much for all that. 86°F and 82% humidity at 9:30 am is more than this princess can take. Or whatever.

Anyways… happy weekend, peeps!

I feel like these construction barricades from the other night were publicly plotting to overthrow the neighborhood.

What with their flashing chatter and all, they were definitely planning something preposterously nefarious.

That’s my two cents anyways.

Peeps, here’s some afternoon flowers for ya’ll. Because you’re all fantastic.

And then there was that one time Sara and I were at Lake Michigan last June 26, 2017. Another couple standing by the lake farther down from us in an oh so picturesque moment. I snapped their photo because the sunset, the lake, the lovebirds, it was all too beautiful not to.

Then Sara went over and asked if they’d like the picture. They agreed, somewhat suspiciously so then I sent them a text with the picture.

The phone number they gave never responded and frankly, I was a little disappointed that I didn’t even get a “thank you” response.

And that was the end of the story.

But then it wasn’t.

I saved the text message month over month and planned to message them again on June 26, 2018. I have a hard time remembering what the date is but on the 28th my duty called.

I took a screenshot of our original one-sided text conversation and sent them a little note.

I was pretty pleased with their response. 💛

I don’t like talking to strangers or people in general but sometimes life taps me on the shoulder and I’m always grateful when I pay attention.

And I’m even more grateful that Sara reached out to these two.
