  i can't sometimes. a coworker is trying to get me to go into the office so we can get our steps, i get it but i also want to take advantage of days where i can not go in. tomorrow is one of them. her reason is if she stays home she will just sit on her couch smoking weed. that's not on me. you are choosing that. don't put that on me.

  today is goiing to be rough mentally to start. i hope i can get myself into the swing of it and come out smiling.

  up close i can see texture especially on my forehead. but overall it's looking pretty decent. no flaking today or yesterday that i particularly noticed. will use the ret-a again tonight. i have been trying to go low and slow. maybe i can bump it up a little... i think i am closer to about once every week-ish. but i might now aim for the twice a week commitment. will have to see how this round goes.

  ok, i think i finally figure it all out - adding a library book to my old version kobo. it was a lengthy journey but it seems to have worked in theory. let's open the kobo and check. nope it's still telling me my device is not allowed to read it. i thought we fought this fight. but apparently not. bah humbug. i will have to think on this later. don't want to do this more now.

  ok good, my dividend income has surpassed the threshold i was hoping to hit for this year. my overall numbers won't hit the mark, but at least my dividends have outpaced last year already.

  i was thinking i would make egg bites this week for breakfasts but i also cooked up hardboiled eggs for the week... hmmmm... i don't have yogurt to make those breakfasts. do i just overdose on eggs this week? maybe.

  really not in the headspace to work. i have been at my desk but my brain is doing it's best not to do work. taking a moment to step away from the desk space and regroup my mind. added the thin moisturizer over the vit c just now. it looks early empty but still seems to last on and on. i am not mad about that, but it never seems to happen with the products i want to have last, only those i am trying to get to the end of. i just need to get through my morning meeting and then i can "relax...

  should the colours not match in the way i imagine then i will pair it with a different bottom. it is very much a me item and i am quite excited for it especially as the weather turns. i had saved similar items that i liked the look of but none had all these qualities in one nor at a price i was liking. i had not considered one for that skirt before and yet this one appears to be just the right colour pattern to go with it. it has hints of purple, hints of brown and a few other colours that i thi...

  returned this latest audiobook. i was not into it already and there was a long waiting list so i just sent it back. since my interest level was low i was not going to be finishing it in three days which is how long i had left on my loan. so bye bye book, maybe another time.

  ok, i was "influenced" to buy more clothing. the beautiful wool skirt i purchased last year that i cannot figure out the colour of - is it purple? is it brown? and i am unsure how to wear it/style it with it's drop waist. i saw a photo of a similar skirt paired with a knit vest and it screamed at me. i have been loving this british/scotish inspired look for ages now and i found a vintage vest that would colourwise i think go with this skirt well and would let me recreate the look...

  starting the next book to see if it's good... it's a translation apparently so not sure what to expect. the voice is nice. let's give it a whirl.

  the taste test of the beans was nice. it was nothing special but that's ok. considering they are a bit old, they still have some bite. maybe i'll make up some potatoes to go with them... and i think i do better with cooking frozen chicken than fresh. i might do that, potatoes, green beans and chicken for one meal.

  ugh brain, do something. don't keep spinning around over things without making any decisions. maybe a few mins of mindlessness will help an idea spring to mind. thinking too hard over it.

  only in the office one day this week - so i will wear a summer outfit again. but maybe for the week after i will change to autumn wardrobe? it will be october by then. that might be nice. i love autumn. i should do more to enjoy it. today looks like another gorgeous autumnal day. how beautiful.

  got rid of a box that my next spf was stored in. now it's just the tube, boxless. and that was all i found. soon one product will be done so that will be gone, but not quite yet, not at the speed i use it. i did empty the end of a collagen tub into the next yesterday in the kitchen, so not really anything but it did empty a little space.

  if you are consistent with it around xmas you can look for the sales, because it would be silly to say i need to wait another week and lose the sale just to hit 2027. but if i am not being consistent and using it then, no. you cannot.

  i know the flaking will reemerge as the day goes on but hey - we gots to live and no one is after me for my skin so... que sera sera. as long as it's not itchy, painful, red, bumpy, breaking out or uncomfortable then it's still a win as my skin adapts.

• View post

  the liquidity of the vit c seems to have glued down some of the flaking for now. i will wait for it to settle before adding the spf. apparently despite what social media suggests, you should use face products on dry skin not damp for better absorption and fewer possible side effects. and let each layer dry before adding the next. so that is now what i try to do. putting in on damp skin reduces the effeicay and can cause more irritation - who knew? not the influencers that's for sure. i gener...

  ok, up to 8.6k steps. need a bit of a break, my baby toe is feeling it. the bouncer was feeling good except for my toe so a little break for it and i will maybe make the bed in the meantime.

  got a good schnaff brushing today. he is in shed mode - but i also haven't brushed him in a while. i am terrible. he deserves better. i am trying. thank goodness he is not a long haired boy nor does he need brushing for any real true reason. he feels better after being brushed i'm sure and it helps to prevent hairballs and the like but it is not strictly necessary thankfully since i am not great at being consistent with it on a schedule. i do it, but it's not on schedule.

  ugh. i am actually feeling awake and alive this morning, but the desire to go to work is nil. i am very happy to have a job and be paid for it, but man the dream of being retired calls to me more every day. all those people who would be bored being retired, i do not understand you. i cannot wait. sign me up. the moment i have enough money to keep the schanff in the luxuries to which he is accustomed despite inflation and all that jazz, i am retiring. i will happily have a life of leisure and not...

  i miscounted and i have done nine days of 10k steps a day in a row now. today i am over 16k. it was an office day so that makes it easier. i like to get over 15k for office days if i can now. but as long as i get my 10k then it's all golden.

  it wasn't as wrinkly as i remembered and the majority were in the elbows where i bend, so a quick steam was more than enough. i will wear that today.

  face looks fine minus the bags under my eyes. skin feels soft. ret-a seems to have been tolerated well. it will take a few days to be sure but for the moment things are good. the zit is "healing" it is visible since i picked at it but it is no longer sore. acne can be a side effect when you are getting used to the ret-a, but i actually seem to have less than normal, although my nose is not a common place for me to get it so who knows for sure the cause. no motivation to get to the offi...

  ret-a on face and moisturizer on top. good to go. didn't do the full tooth routine last night and today my mouth was not feeling as clean all day. did the full water flosser and electric toothbrushing tonight because i know it is better and it feels better and i want to keep making good decisions for myself. i don't floss regularly like i should, so this needs to be my bare minimum. got 15k steps in today. not too shabby at all. that is now a seven day streak of getting 10k steps a day....

  got myself to 8k steps. it was quick and easy once i had the energy and a bit of time. i will get the last 2k well before bed time today. i make that promise to myself. i hate trying to catch up at the last minute, but i genuinely forgot yesterday i was happy to have remembered at all.

  ok i think i made a plan. it's a bit chaotic and non-sensical but it should work. perhaps right now as the chickpeas are cooking i can also start the rice. then i can use that same pot to quick steam the broccoli and then also to boil potatoes. i could also chop the rest of the squash to roast along with the red pepper... have to decide how to cook the green beans... but these are good initial steps. could also salt and drain the cucumber. ok i think i can get those started now so that i can...
