Um…I just received a payment of almost $3,000 that I hadn’t even expected. 😲
Thank you GOD. ❤️
I’d call that a turned tide. 😁

Taken today: iPhone 15 Plus. I’m happy to report that after a turbulent year, things are finally starting to look up! Dare I think it safe to exhale?
Not quite yet; but I can feel a change in the wind. As I stare out my picture window, I feel a natural smile resting on the corners of my mouth. I don’t remember the last time I felt a smile that wasn’t forced.
Just received news that I’ll be able to afford to take the rest of the year off and simply heal from all of the chaos and drama that has been my life for the past several months. Perhaps I’ll seek out another position as an Addiction Counselor in the spring: Time will tell.
For now, I’ll luxuriate in the thoughts of taking this NIKON DSLR out and about and actually be a photographer again. (Of course it helps to have a new car.)
I really want to take the plunge and become a true black and white photographer; but when I think of all of the vibrant colours that are out in the world- I recoil. There’s so much emotion in black and white though. Only when one strips away colours, do the contrast, gamma, and various tones (midtones, etc.) come forth in their own ways.
I have an appointment today; perhaps I’ll venture out with the camera and see what I find. 😎

Ohhhh my Lord, look what I just found on my bathroom wall. And yep; it’s venomous. (Good thing I love spiders.)

Homemade Japanese Ramen, with Portabella Mushrooms, Red Onions, Garlic, Roasted Chicken, Traditional Ramen Noodles, Soft-Boiled Egg, Soy Sauce, Parsley, Pink Himalayan Salt, and Crushed Black Peppercorn Medley. 6 posts in one day. Think that’s an all-time record. It’s a good distraction. I’m going through some major shit in my life right now. It’s good to see what I’ve lived through.

Yeah, I really am out here mowing one of my 3 separate yards on my broke-ass foot using my 1930’s era push mower. While fasting.
For reference:
It had to be done today because I already know what I’ma be feelin’ like tomorrow.

What a crazy world we live in by which “I, Me, and My” are no longer considered pronouns.
Thanks Youtube. I sorta feel discriminated against.
