we’re watching soaps together (young and the restless, bold and the beautiful). she and her mom used to watch the same shows together when she was younger. it’s a happy memory for her. whenever i’m at work, mom texts me updates from the show. it’s a very sweet ritual we’ve just started. it’s fun to watch her reminisce about old storylines and explain who everyone is to me. we’ve started a new soap together called beyond the gates. even more special to begin the show with her. a new tradition built upon an old one. i look at my mom as a treasure of information of which i’ll never reach the bottom. she’s getting older, and i keep thinking about how one day, i’ll wish i’d been nicer, or more open, or taken out my headphones to listen to her talk just to talk. on days when those thoughts are overwhelming, i settle for spending time with her in the calm afternoon of her lunch break and listening to her talk about phyllis and victor and jill and cricket. sometimes, she talks over the show, but tbh i’m more interested in what she has to say than the storylines.

🍷I love my mom and I love an excuse to sit down and talk to her for hours. And then when we get home we keep talking for another couple hours. Really helps with the whole “we watch our parents grow old too”

☺️as time keeps passing, i love watching my mom age. it used to be a bittersweet thing to me, it often time still is, but knowing i had the privilege and the honor to see all her stages of life and someone to look up to if and when i reach that stage is comforting to me. the gray hairs, the old lady jokes, and the wisdom she now has and continues to spread is beautiful to witness and i feel blessed everyday im here to see it. i wish she could live forever and ever, truly, but i’m enjoying this time i have now. :)

tangerine juice is a perfect base to me because it has a smooth, even flavor. unlike other citruses, you can barely taste it, but it thickens up the smoothie. also, i once got into a bar underage by arguing w/ the meathead (endearing) bouncer over our smoothie recipes, so you can trust me! #gainsbrother
my go-to recipe: - tangerine juice - mango - banana - spinach - ginger - pineapple (optional) - mixed berries (optional)

🤖unfortunately, google doesn’t let you opt out of using their ridiculously inaccurate and environmentally damaging ai “tool”, but if u add “-ai“ to the end of ur google search, it won’t generate! unfriendly reminder that ai will use 6.6 BILLION cubic meters of water annually by 2027. each response w 100 words = 1.2 bottles of water.
ps fuck all these tech companies for not letting us opt out of unreliable tools that destroy our planet
