We just binge watched The Tick and I think I have a crush on the character. He talks just like Adam West's Batman. Something sort of just zinged for me on that. I hope they continue with this storyline. We've also been watching Wynonna Earp. It's based off a comic book so it had me at comic book and female lead. We've been binge watching this too. We finished our binge watch on The Community, which is sad because it gave me a lot of laughs and I need that right now. I'm just not feeling up to the days. I've been depressed lately, so I've started keeping a journal of all the happy things that have happened. It's more like a book full of lists. No actual dialogue. I start with a date and add what happened during that time. Not sure if this is a long term solution for reminding myself that there are happier times. I'm also hoping that as I forget things, I can glance back and say, "Yep, I was happy once and I'll be happy again." I...

My job is very physical so I've been seeing a trainer to help me gain the muscle. I have to lift things that are well over forty pounds and lately, I haven't been doing that by myself. I'm not sure how much I can lift at the moment, but I've been training for a while. My muscle mass is only 50.6 lbs. right now. Emory's is over 70 so I know I can do much better. Today, my trainer finally pushed me to the point of breaking. He told me; "You can cry. You can vomit. You can crawl. But you can't give up." It shocked the hell out of me how close I really was to crying and vomiting and that made me feel even worse. I don't think I've had a moment when I felt myself physically getting to the point of collapse. I could feel my mind cracking and yet I continued. That was a couple of days ago and I still have muscle aches. No idea how to use chopsticks! There's another outbreak at work. I think this is the second person who sent an ent...

We had the house to ourselves for July 4th. I wanted fireworks like sparklers and little things that flare, but it was pointless when so many houses had the real-deal firework display. We watched large fireworks pop off everywhere. The only downside was that it bothered all the fur babies. We ended up coming back inside and finishing a horror movie we rented called "Black Christmas." The movie might have been decent if I was twenty years younger, but the scenario didn't really jive well. Neither of us really "felt" it. Sue and Emory want to go donate blood because Sue found out that you get the free Covid-19 antibodies test. I won't be joining them. It's bad enough getting my blood drawn for a test and that's only seconds. I couldn't sit still for the amount of time it takes to get an entire bag of blood and I couldn't stand the size of the needle. They're brave. Chef found me at work and told me he had something for me! How exciting...

Emory and I traveled up to Solvang located in Santa Barbara County, California. It's a little Danish village. The drive from where we live was about an hour and forty minutes up the coastline so we could look at the beach coming in. We should have stopped, but we both wanted to get up there because we left rather late in the day. We stayed at the Sideways Inn which had a movie filmed at that location. There is an RV Park behind the Inn and it was crowded. We were hoping the hot tub would be opened, but only the pool was in operation and it's a lot cooler up in that area so I wasn't down for swimming. The thing about this town... everything shuts down by 5:00pm sharp. We got in late enough that we tried to use "Happy Cow" to find a vegan restaurant and everything was closed for the night. We drove a little farther out and found a little place called California Tacos. I got a veggie bowl and I think they put mashed potatoes at the bottom of the bowl. I couldn...
