oh, my!
Today’s walk included:
– The Mesquite Six dropping weird yellow worm/Cheeto bean pods everywhere
– A mockingbird too busy eating breakfast to yell at me for once
– Beetlejuice landscaping trees from the HOA underworld
– The Aquanet Tree holding its hairstyle together against all odds
– A neighbor with a front door sign that says:
“No soliciting unless you are a kid.” 😂
AND apparently I forgot some of the human chaos:
– The people walking an entire couch down the sidewalk
– The person apparently attempting a Starbucks coffee heist being strategically removed from said Starbucks by a good Samaritan
– The guy who jumped off his bicycle and rage-disassembled his relationship with his shoes in public
– General “NPCs in an open world game” energy throughout the morning
Meanwhile I accidentally passed 8,000 steps before I even got home, so apparently wandering around photographing trees and observing bizarre public behavior still counts 🔵
Also:
the breeze under the eucalyptus trees was AMAZING today. Cool air, good smells, shade winning against the Arizona sun for once, and that whole “tiny peaceful moment in the middle of real life” feeling.
Not every walk has to look like hardcore fitness to matter.
Walk Receipts
Sometimes wellness looks like:
– glutes and calves complaining anyway
– stopping to admire weird trees
– laughing at neighborhood signs
– witnessing random human nonsense in the wild
– and getting outside long enough for your brain to unclench a little.
Still counts 🔵
