Happy Sunday y’all. I’m still on, like, California time or something, and also am just generally mad that I’m supposed to be a real adult who answers emails and pays bills on time and goes to bed at reasonable hours. SO, I’ve been up every night until at least 3:00 a.m., sleeping all morning, letting my emails pile up. Is it right? I don’t know. Does it feel right, right now? Yeah, you fucking bet.
Also, I’ve decided I’m only taking thirst traps for the rest of the year. Vanessa‘s A-Camp workshop and participants really inspired me to be my best thirsty self, and I want to remind you that you, too, can live your best thirsty life, if you wanna! #thirsttrapseasoneveryseason
+ Listen, I do not want to, nor do I, understand Taylor Swift post-Speak Now (I stand by my belief that it was when she peaked musically). Apparently though, Taylor loves the gays. Or is trying to find a way to come out as one of us? I don’t know, but she was at Stonewall Inn.

Okay pals, pray for me and getting back on a regular schedule. I’d love to sleep during the night one day soon??? I love you, I hope your week is good, I hope you get lots of vitamin D, but also wear lots of sunscreen because the Sun is a mean bitch and she will burn you. I love you! You have meaning and worth and belong here and I’m so glad you are!!!
