Taking refuge with music from my past, when things were easier and the world seemed simpler. 😮‍💨 🎵

Voting was more convenient when the polling place was a couple blocks away from our house but today I took a long lunch break to walk a mile to go vote; the walk did me good and kept me from looking at the news. 😃😅🇺🇸

Feels like it should be an hour later than it is right now…oh, right… 😮‍💨

🎮 Sadly, I was forced to cancel my Analogue 3D order, some unexpected expenses have recently reared their ugly heads:

• Dryer is on it’s last leg
• Car issues (both of them)
• Vet bills
• The outside faucet needs to be fixed

For the time being, I’ll just have to limit myself to software emulation. 😭

Took a late lunch break and went for a walk to clear my head and get some sun. 🍂🚶🏼‍♂️

Side note: I’m really digging my new Garmin and I love it doesn’t need to be charged every day.

Just per-ordered the Analogue 3D! 🎮 …I just couldn’t resist revisiting my childhood. 🤣

Oh how I hate coming into the Apple Store (selling back my Apple Watch); I don’t know why they hate lines but when you’re told to go stand “by that table” and then no one comes to help you, it’s incredible frustrating. 😮‍💨 ⌚️

🍿 Friends came over tonight and after hearing the list of “scary” options we had, they picked Ghostbusters instead of Hocus Pocus…and I have no complaints (especially as we watched Hocus Pocus last weekend with a different group of friends 😆).
★★★☆☆

Out shopping for tonight (having friends over to watch Hocus Pocus) and stopped by a local coffee shop for my annual pumpkin spice latte; the name of the shop might have changed but it still looks just like it did when a friend of mine and I would frequent it for breakfast back in the day. 🎃☕️ 📸

A few weeks ago, my Partner and I tried out a new (to us) Mexican restaurant, with some interesting decor. 😆 The food was tasty, we’ve been back more than a few times since. 🌮🇲🇽

Woke up to frost on the ground…not sure I’m ready for winter just yet. 🤣🥶

📷 The Garmin I referenced yesterday:

I tend to “fall in love” pretty fast with new tech gadgets…and past is prologue in this case; I just hope the infatuation with this new “watch” sticks. 🤣

For the first time since 2016, I’m not wearing an Apple Watch. 😬 Tired of dealing with mediocre battery life and wanting better health metrics, I’ve decided to give Garmin a try again. 🤯

My insurance wouldn’t refill a prescription, so Walgreens offered to fill it for me without insurance…the price: $256. 💊 The same medication / dosage at Costco: $10. 😱😡😤 Gotta love healthcare in ‘Murica. 🇺🇸

There is something cute / fun / odd about listening to a podcast and suddenly hearing French when they get to an advertising / commercial break…I guess I forgot to turn off my VPN last night. 😆🇫🇷
