  1. I’ve always known I’ve been “double jointed” (hyper mobility). I remember kids in class, sitting behind me-if I raised my hand they would have a joking comment like “ew. Call on her. So she can put her arm down” haha. And my kid would always notice that when I extended my arm to point I wasn’t actually pointing at the object I was aiming for ha. 
    what I didn’t know is that if I didn’t manage it I would constantly hurt myself. Took almost half my damn life to understand and know this. It’s so difficult to correct/manage at this point in my life but I have to to ensure a healthy one here out.   PSA for anyone who notices they are double jointed.

    What's your project?

    Just a workout room. 
    just gonna remove the table. Not buying any equipment or anything. Just mats. We have enough items to make it a workable room  

     

    I need space to work in. No matter what it is.  I loathe gathering things for a project, I spend the time gathering and not working. Then it turns to this.

    When it hits me I need to not be bothered with getting things out or gathering items to complete a stretch session or whatnot.

  3. this is my fav room in this place and I realized I spend the least amount of time in here.  We never use the table. Gonna get rid of that and throw down a rug/mats for a workout/stretch type of space. It’s got the most plants. Great morning light. Warmest in the place because the only outside wall is where the window is at. 
    really excited about this project   Hopefully I can get thru it today

  4. Every year I give myself 100 to splurge on something that is probably absolutely not worth 100 but guilt free splurge spending to look forward to. 
    I just copped this hoodie. to find out he copped me the same hoodie for Christmas. We’re gonna try to return one. Hahah fuck.

    Listening in on other people's conversations is probably the most entertaining shit ever. 

     

    I was painting two freshly remodeled bathrooms at some 83 year old guys house today. He made mention of the master bathroom and then quickly was like "oh crap, you're not supposed to call it that any more. I guess I mean the primary bathroom." I was sitting there thinking to myself "wow that's cool. Old ass white dudes making social progress or whatever." Wrong. He immediately followed that up with "nah. I'm gonna keep saying it anyway." Then later that day he doubled down and started referring to the hall bath as the 'slave bath'. 

     

    I don't find that shit overly offensive due to his age, but I don't find shit like that mildly amusing either. So he asked me if I could paint 2 more bedrooms and a hallway. Normally I would tell people like him 'no' but I also feel like I should take as much of his money as possible. Am I the asshole?


    I had a client (a few, actually) who was too comfortable saying ignorant shit at my table. I would often remind her my dude was Mexican and my daughter was black. She would always follow with “that’s different”. Short story to say-I felt like I was perpetuating it by allowing her to say such snide ass remarks. I eventually fired her as a client. I saw her every two weeks and we had to sit face to face and touched. I couldn’t do it anymore.


    I still have a very very hard time referring to people as they/them. Reasoning is-growing up I was raised racist af and didn’t know it. Whenever the term they/them was used it was ALWAYS to point out (everyone else who wasn’t a white person) so it always carried a negative connotation to me. I just try my damndest to remember the name of the person and use it
