Hello and welcome! I’m here to document my chaotic day, which, despite a rocky start, ended on a positive note. Today is Wednesday, July 23, and the temperature pushed nearly 90°. I’m relieved to declare that the Idaho 4 case is finally behind us; the convicted murderer will serve four consecutive life sentences for the brutal homicide of four college students in Idaho. We are also processing the unfortunate, albeit not surprising, death of Ozzy Osbourne, while updates on Malcolm Jamal Warner are still pending. This week has been a whirlwind in the world of celebrities – total chaos!

This morning, I took charge by going shopping to restock my essential non-dairy staples. I admit I went a bit overboard, driven by my fear of missing out when it comes to shopping and the anxiety of running low on my favorites. That’s likely how I amassed a massive yarn collection! I recognize how fortunate I am to have what I do. While I appreciate the minimalist lifestyle, I genuinely enjoy being well-stocked.

I’m proud to share that I’m part of the beta testing for the upcoming app, #TheNeptuneApp. My handle, LVbewichedpsl, is set up, and my website is listed. The beta testing began a couple of months ago, and though I was initially left out of the Alerts, I took the initiative to contact support and got everything rolling on my end, as I have done with a few other apps.

Regarding TikTok, I’ve made my frustrations with Meta and their monopoly clear. While I’m keeping Instagram and Facebook for now, I can’t say how much I’ll use them moving forward—only time will tell. One thing is certain: I appreciate consistency, but I’m also not afraid to shake things up.

Life certainly knows how to throw curveballs. I was told my residential area is a quiet part of the community, yet the past two days have proven otherwise. Yesterday, there was a fire alarm up the street, and today brought two incidents. We had another encounter with the neighbor who was arrested for something truly unspeakable. We’ve had issues with their pitbull before, and I want to emphasize that the blame often lies not with the dog but with the lack of proper upbringing from its owners. Today has been chaotic, but I’m grateful for my ability to compartmentalize these events and maintain my calm.

The second event across the street involved a minor eye injury at the group home. Though I didn’t hear the dispatch, I knew it wasn’t serious. All things considered, my life is my own, and writing about my experiences is my therapy. As I reflect on my journey through 2025, I can confidently say I’m happier than a year ago. I’m in a better place mentally and emotionally than I was in 2024. Physically, I’m eating well, exercising, and even if I’m not hitting the gym right now due to noise control issues, I’m committed to maintaining a healthy environment for my mental stability. I miss going to the gym and swimming, but I won’t compromise my well-being. I will ensure that I’m in an environment that supports my health.
