All 12 of the new MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencils, $20 each
It has been gloomy, wet as well as gray right here all the time today, both outside my home as well as inside my head.

VERSCHROBEN! — with a funding B for BRAT. That’s what I’ve been today.

Not even swatching all 12 of the new MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencils might applaud me up, which is like…unfathomable.

Ich meine hallo! — they have names like “Pleasant,” “Fearless” as well as “Revved Up,” as well as just look at exactly how bright as well as shiny they are. Oh, yeah, as well as supremely moisturizing.

I just felt cooped up, tense as well as scatterbrained this afternoon. At one point I turned on Milli Vanilli’s Blame It on the rain as well as listened to that for a while…

Didn’t help, so I just sat in my chair as well as pouted.

And then, finally, there was a break in the storm we’re having (which, incidentally, laid squander to my deck garden), as well as I saw sunshine outside. wonderful blue skies as well as sunshine, rejoice!

I pulled on my Zella hoodie, a pair of tennies as well as told Tabs, “BRB.” then I went for a walk.

Just walked around my circle, down the huge hill, then up the street as well as back. I looked for cats however didn’t see any. I likewise made myself look at random things — whatever — truly closely, like at the glistening wet asphalt as well as the rain drops hanging from the want needles overhead as well as the lavender bushes along the side of the road as well as exactly how they all lean the exact same direction together like choreographed dancers.

And then I felt better.

Better about everything.

Isn’t that weird? I spent hours today unsuccessfully trying to will myself to feel much better (it’s nothing, really, just one of those days), as well as mom Nature did it in 10 minutes.

That’s some powerful stuff ideal there.
