Thank you! Sandy doesn’t seem to be as miserable as I am, thankfully. She’s also a desert horse, so she’s naturally equipped to deal with her better than me lol

I go see it all the time. I’m thinking of getting cut lil chimes and suncatchers to hang on the lower branches

Idk how people can do this. Like, I was invited to a 4th of July party and I wasn’t going to go if I couldn’t find someone to sit with my dogs. I ended up paying my mom to watch them for me. My beagle is terrified of fireworks and he has reactions to emergency anxiety meds, so just sitting with him and keeping him company and hugging him is very important. Apparently he had a great time lol. My doodle doesn’t give a shit about fireworks. She’s just down to do whatever the beagle is doing lol.

My phone shit the bed and I decided to just install graphene on the new one. One of the biggest hurdles in degoogling. Now I’m slowly migrating my accounts away from Google. I can’t do it all at once because that’s just too big of an endeavor.

My mom has even started to degoogle a bit and is switching to proton for email and cloud storage. She’s learning a lot about privacy and cyber security from me butching about corpos and dumb end users at work. She had her Microsoft account hacked today and she called me from the store as soon as she got an unknown MFA prompt and I helped her secure her shit immediately. So proud of her. She went home after that and immediately started resetting passwords to literally all of her accounts for different things and even appropriately prioritized them. I’ve trained her well lol
