• A coworker surprised me yesterday with this cute pumpkin she grew herself!

• Speaking of work, I continue to be amazed at the unhinged things coming out of my mouth. I was going to note that I need to work on my filter but, dude, I gotta cope. If that means ridiculous jokes and self gaslighting instead of crying, so be it! (Yes, going off my anxiety meds is going great, thanks for asking! In all seriousness, it has been fine.)
• I had my quarterly color/cut at the salon Friday. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep it so blond or go a bit darker for fall. We decided to make it darker in the back but still keep the blond along my face, and I think this is actually the lightest blondest I’ve ever been! It’s not what I was expecting, but I really like it!

• Just so I have it documented, Starbuck’s current full name is: Starbuck Cooters McScooters Bucatini Pew Pew Stacy What Are You Doing? Baby Rain Cinnamon OurLastsName.

• After our flight on Tuesday, Steven and I were discussing Aeronautical Decision-Making (ADM) models—the approaches pilots use to evaluate information and decide on a course of action. Like everything else in aviation, there were acronyms for all the different processes (one is the Three Ps—Perceive, Process, Perform). I told Steven if I was a pilot I would use REGRET to make decisions, as in “Is there a possibility I will regret this decision? If yes, then I won’t do it.” But he told me I needed to come up with a REGRET acronym, so we worked on it together, lol:
