My son at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in 2009. He is now 20 years and moved out on his own. He will always be my little boy. Children are forever young in our heart.

I am out of work again. I have been laid off a few different times. I got canned in 2014. Then during the pandemic I was fired in 2020. Now is 2023. I feel like I been trying to get in the ocean and the tide keep spitting me out! WTH? Fine, I will live a life of leisure!

I am a total snob when it comes to listening to guided meditation videos on YouTube, if the person is not speaking like a slow monotone hippie high AF, I nope out of there with a quickness!
I do not need a squeaky voiced, fast talking, high talker self guided meditation. Pass!
LOL!

Happy Father's Day, to my father Donald W. Ploski, who passed in 2004. After my mother passed in 1987, my dad was a single dad w/ five children. He did an amazing job raising me and my four siblings. Happy Father's Day to all the father figures sharing this day with their families! #fathersday2023

Happy Juneteenth! This is one of those holidays that I have celebrated for years and it seemed many others never heard of it. It is so exciting to now work at a place where it is a paid holiday! Progress is happening, but we need to keep our eyes on the prize. Civil rights for all!

Was it meant to be that I binge watch all these 80's rom-coms every day after work? I think not. I need a new hobby.

State of California should come up with the Anti-woke Campaign as a public health campaign on Sleep Hygiene/Health. To be a counter argument over the importance of good sleep: helps reduce stress, good for mental health, improves memory, rest for growth!
Gov. Newsom get on this!!!!

The Orange Turd said at his Waco Rally yesterday that his numbers shot up last week because he was NOT indicted. Let's see some numbers. Let's look at the polls from March 24, 2023. Nope! He lied again!

Sunday morning breakfast today was two slices of toast with butter and strawberry jelly, not jam, and a mug of tea, and two fried eggs.
I am thankful to have such a bountiful meal.
I wish everyone a hearty start to the day. Carry on!

Being a mother with my son is about having him know everything, but not doing anything because he does not know what to do. I have learned to stop offering help. He is 19 and a PITA! Been this way his whole life! LOL!

Remember when there were real Marxists calling for the dismantling of corporations and monopolies? They used to talk about a people's revolution. They used to talk about the people having all the power. The worker's were the power. What happened? They say commie, so what?

Yesterday was a day of indulgence!
Walked in the glorious sunshine, spent time near water.
Made fudge brownies (with milk chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts), had some shrimp cocktail, and then made tacos.
For my snack I made sour cream and onion dip for my potato chips.
I love Sundays!

Why do people make comments on Tik Toks and Reddit about dating red flags and then say a red flag but how they married the person anyway. That is not the assignment! LOL!
