It’s a real shame heart attacks and panic attacks don’t have more unique qualities that help me differentiate what medical event I am having.

I google my symptoms and I get two choices: go to the ER or take some deep breaths. Where’s the middle ground here, people?

It’s been a week. I mean, it’s nothing I can’t handle. Like, I’m a big girl. I’m a rock star. I am basically super wife because I somehow found time to make vegan treats for Garr’s soldiers, like I am a STAR. *Cue physical ramifications of stress.*

So, I’m already wound up, right? And your girl has a doctor appointment today. This makes me wind up tighter than a knotted yo-yo because of traffic, parking, finding new doctor’s office, meeting doctor, hoping she likes me, wondering if she has washed her hands – that whole thing. I’m walking in and I just KNOW it’s going to be a high blood pressure day. I can feel the blood pumping extra thick in my veins. Sure enough – through the roof!!!!! I laughed & was like “Oh, you know, just a little white coat syndrome!!!!” Ha. Ha ha.

And now I stew with anxiety about my blood pressure and am down a Web MD rabbit hole. Joy. Rapture.

I think I know how to unite our broken society.

We need a new viral social media challenge.

I miss the days of watching my internet pals flail as ice water is poured on their heads. The days when groups of people would stand still pretending to be mannequins while that terrible song played in the background. And let us not forget about the cinnamon challenge – a classic!

The internet was a much happier place back then. Collectively, we were a happy-go-lucky bunch. Now we’re just a bunch of stiffs! What if we started planking again? That was a great year for me, personally. I planked on a neighbor’s trash can &, though a low point, I have no regrets. Oh, or we could start stacking the Cheerios on baby foreheads again!!!! THAT was a crowd pleaser.

I am a very outdoorsy girl.

So much so that I plan all of my fall brunch activities around the best patios in the area.

I really branched out this weekend, though. I laid on a hot pink blanket in the middle of a grassy knoll. Me – in the grass!!!!! Essentially, I earned my badge for nature activities.

I laid on that blanket and gabbed with my girlfriends without a care in the world. The sun was shining, folks were running by in their exercise clothes sweating a little too near me, and I had a really cute sweater vest on. It was all good! I told you guys, I really never stop evolving.

But I am hoping this next president can do something about the outdoor smell that lingers on you for hours after a bout with nature.
