Notes

I am very happy my succulents haven’t died yet. I also love these pots.

Last night I dreamt I lost my camera bag in a shuttle after landing in LA, but I was having too much fun with new friends to care about it then. I woke up with my bag but without my new friends. What a cold and dreary day life after a dream can be.

Beautiful sunrise yesterday morning. Also, the iPhone 12 Pro takes beautiful photos.

The past couple of days have been rough. I’ve been battling a debilitating back pain that has forced me off my feet and has made sleep a struggle. But I woke up today to the first snowfall of the season, and I just had to get out of my home and go for a walk.

It was a beautiful fall day today.

My town is weird.

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse by manipulating someone into doubting their own sanity. It comes from the 1944 film Gaslight where a man psychologically manipulates his wife into believing that she is going insane. I came across it by watching hours of Among Us streams, and I thought it was the perfect word for the reality we are all currently living in.

Sisters. Need I say more?

School has been a mess. The teachers are infuriating, but I’m happy to see the students back. I went home livid and exhausted, and I’ve been questioning my employment status. But I took a look at the shots of the moon I took in the morning, and I felt calm and excited. This new camera has centered me. I love it so much. At least I have this to fall back to when things are tough. What more can I ask for?

I dropped my camera on Tuesday, and now it won’t hold any of the settings. Each time I turn it on, it’s reset to factory settings. I took photos yesterday but the date was reset to 1/1/2000, and there were all shot in jpeg. So, unfortunately, I might have to pause my blog for a bit until I figure this out. I might have to buy a new camera, which, cool, but also, not cool. I’m sad about this, honestly.
