Brakes are squeeky, ordered new pads while waiting on a contractor, should be in Sunday.
Sometimes technology and remote ordering is amazing, it's like living in the future 😁

Fairy lights everywhere, ornaments in the trees, and enough cookies, cakes, pies, and festive drinks to easily throw a diabetic's blood sugar into orbit.

Good morning!
Can tell a lot of people took today off as there was no traffic this morning. 38F/3C outside right now, wind gusts at 39MPH/63kph right now, so cold and windy!

I'm writing again! 😈
"Many scholars believe the founders would be shocked to learn we are still using the Constitution mostly as-is."

It has been a while but I have a new post up @ordinarytimemag !
"The life cycle of a chicken, something about artisanal harvested vegetables, the joys of soup reduction...we don't have time for all of that"

I heard something that really sums up a lot in me
"I cut out people I cared for not to hurt them but to protect myself from them"
That is something I don't wish on anyone to have to do, or to have to face that choice
It is not an easy path to walk as it is littered with reminders

Been a while since I've delved into politicts...that may not always be a good thing 😬

A now rare Friday night where the need for her is so overwhelming, & yet I know the version she presented to me never existed. I understand fully how addictive a trauma bond is & it's awful.

Heard elsewhere:
"Most people when they hit rock bottom stop, but some people like the sound of the shovel."
