Amazon created an “about you” that uses AI to guess stuff about you based on your shopping and mine says I “likely” live in the town where my shipping address is. Real strong detective work happening there.

I just need to get this out of my brain For the past several days, “COVID conscious lesbian bar in western Massachusetts” has been playing on a loop in my head to the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Maybe it’s like The Ring where I can pass the curse on to someone else and free myself

Very excited for #Halloween - we ordered giant (5” diameter) lollipops, king size Reese’s, and movie theater boxes of sour patch kids. Also infinity cubes and transformer fidget spinners. Every kid gets a candy and a toy, and if a child has a dietary issue that they can’t have any of the candy, they get two toys. But we have a nut free option and a gluten free option so most kids should have a candy option.

Haven’t done a #ThreeGoodThings in a bit! 1. I had to call AT&T about an upcoming trip and they were like oh by the way the plan you’re on doesn’t exist anymore, we can offer you a better plan that’s $20 cheaper 💸 2. Vera has been making muffins on my leg for about a half hour 💜 3. I got my renewal from APA and I’m all set to keep doing CEs for another five years! 🎉

Just saw an add for Dominos saying they have released their "first ever personal pizza" but like. I've been eating personal pizzas from Dominos for 20 years. Every pizza is a personal pizza when you aren't a quitter.

I really like that I can post to followers only here. Sometimes I need to scream into the void but not, like, the ENTIRE void, you know?

2026 is a very spiky year. I've had some of the best things ever happen, and also some of the worst days of my life. So I guess if we're talking statistics, 2026 has been about average.

Continuing Education Course: Differential Diagnoses: ADHD and Autism I have gotten good feedback from my CE courses on assessing for and diagnosing ADHD and autism, and one area for improvement that was identified was to talk more about differentials—when a client does not end up meeting the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for what they initially suspected, or when their traits… https://resiliencymentalhealth.com/2026/07/28/continuing-education-course-differential-diagnoses-adhd-and-autism/

I have an absurdly sensitive startle response so my husband does this adorable thing when he walks around the house where he claps his hands an chants “I live here, I live here.” It does not always work.

Ok look who showed up at our house this afternoon!! No microchip. Animal Control is going to pick her up and try to find her humans because she seems friendly, but if they can't find her home she might be coming back here.

We got our cat’s ashes yesterday and the vet labeled them aggressive 🤣🤣🤣 The tech who helped us was like I’m so sorry we were supposed to take that off I was like no I know what he was like, this is a perfect way to honor him. Spicy to the end 💜

Give Yourself Filler Episodes The other day, I saw a reel of someone lamenting about how television shows these days have such short seasons, so everything has to be plot-heavy, advancing the full story.... https://resiliencymentalhealth.com/2026/07/16/give-yourself-filler-episodes/

This morning Armani was too weak to stand on his own. We went to the emergency vet and she told us it was time. We were with him in the end. He knew he was loved and he’s not in pain anymore.

I just saw an interview with Kelsey Pfendler and the interviewer was like "What's your next goal" GIVE THE GIRL A BREAK!! She just rowed BY HERSELF across an ENTIRE OCEAN and broke MULTIPLE WORLD RECORDS in the process. What have you ever done?? Hustle culture is a scourge.

Vet says as long as Armani’s sugars don’t crash, she thinks he’s just still recovering from the constipation. His levels are high and we can monitor at home so he’s just resting and getting pets 💜

Armani is going to the emergency vet this morning for constipation and weakness. He’s not taking food or water. He ALWAYS eats. I’m so worried.

Maybe I just don’t get it because I’m a buzzkill who hates fireworks anyway but what’s the point of shooting them off when the sun is still up? You can’t even see them. It’s just noise. Awful, horrible, sensory hell noise

So on the one hand House Hunt is a fun app, I like the renovations and making the number go up, but on the other hand it’s radicalizing me even harder because what the hell do you mean a starter home is $900,000

Setting Boundaries on LinkedIn A few years ago, I rage-quit LinkedIn because a dozen times a day I was getting unsolicited private messages either trying to sell me stuff or get me to work for free (T-Mobile, you still owe me for the "interview" you tried to turn into a consultation and then never actually hired me).... https://resiliencymentalhealth.com/2026/06/30/setting-boundaries-on-linkedin/
