The BLUGH: August 13, 2025
“No amount of regret changes the past. No amount of anxiety changes the future. Any amount of gratitude changes the present.”
I’ve been doing a lot of barre classes lately and when the class is shorter, they call it an “express” class. So here is express BLUGH.
PRODUCT non-recommendation: “Do NOT get the Oura ring!!!” I scream at you, tears streaming down my face. The Oura ring….doesn’t work??!!!? I think I pretended that the Oura ring was great because it was expensive and so I really really wanted it to be worth it. It is not worth it. It does not track distance walked AT ALL. Like…? What good is activity tracking if it doesn’t tell me distance? All data points were wildly off. It literally only tracks stuff if you put in. According to the ring, I walked 20,000 steps the other day but it indicated my activity level was at ZERO until I entered In that I had walked. It’s supposed to TRACK my activity. The final straw was when I got the email telling me that my SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL!!??! was coming up? You mean I have to pay to own this thing? Yeah, bye. If you are looking for a ring alternative, I say go for this lovely mood ring.
BOOK: Unable to properly share fully reviews as I haven’t finished these but I am currently reading Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe and Hero of Two Worlds: The Marquis de Lafayette in the Age of Revolution by Mike Duncan. I will say that both are non-fiction but have me gripped as much as any fiction I’ve read! Also, just FYI that Dua Lipa has a book club.
WATCHING: Rick and Morty. It boosts my mood every. Single. Time. I. Watch. It. Speaking. Of. Which. I. Think. I. Will. Go. Watch. It. Right. Now. Do. You. Hate. This. Or. Do. You. Think. It’s. Cool. I. Think. It’s. Cool. But. It's. Like. Where. Does. One. Sentence. End. And. The. Next. Begin. But. The. Effect. Is. Very. Cool. Right. JK. It’s. Not. Cool. I. Get. That. Ok. I. Am. Done. Now. Or. Am. I. HAHA. Still. Going. But. I. Am. Kind. Of. Pissing. Myself. Off. Now. For. Real. So. I. Am. Going. To. Stop. Or. Am. I. LOL. Can’t. Stop. Won’t. Stop. See. What. I. Do. I. Spend. My. Time. On. This. Nonsense. Instead. Of. Writing. A. Real. BLUGH. Damn.
Or. Am. I.

Organic Encounter
Ran into my friend, Raquel, on the subway. These fortuitous encounters are the stuff of dreams. We were sweating A LOT but we were sweating ❤️together❤️.
