Pulling an all-nighter with my niece is quite possibly the funnest thing I've done at work in a while. All the stress of the last 6 months kinda sucked the joy out of work for me. That's not how art is supposed to feel. I'm glad she reminded me. Now I'm going to go make a mess!

Our old house was single story, so our dogs had never seen stairs like the ones in the new house before. It took them a while to go up them, but they did. Hooker still hasn't gone down the stairs on her own yet, but the other 2 are pros at stairs now. It's all rather amusing.

I miss my volunteer work. It took up a LOT of my time and often left me emotionally drained, but it gave me a sense of purpose. Unfortunately, the charitable organizations around here seem like a closed circuit and I'm having a hard time getting in.

Fuck yeah!

"Imagine if Democrats were..." I've been guilty of this in the past, too. But here's the thing. Democrats in power would NEVER do ANY of this shit. Even suggesting the possibility reinforces the false premise the two parties are equally extreme. They fucking aren't. 1/

We have decided that our upcoming housewarming party will be a screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, complete with rice, water guns, newspapers and toast. I can't wait to meet all the neighbors!

I just spent an hour on the phone with my daughter going over the shitty options. The least shitty options seems to be the teaching position her husband was offered in Toulouse, France. It's really fucked up that they're afraid to come home.

Trump: “Waltz did nothing wrong” MAGA: “YOU’RE RIGHT SIR!” Media: “Waltz is out as national security adviser” MAGA: “GREAT CALL, WE DON’T TRUST HIM!” Trump: “I’m making Waltz ambassador to the UN and keeping him in the administration.” MAGA (probably): “FANTASTIC PICK SIR”

If this heroin addict was black, he'd have been in jail a long time ago and likely dead by now, not a senior cabinet member of this administration's Cabinet of Thieves.

So I guess we're spending the weekend researching and debating what 86 means now and has mentioned in different contexts and time periods. This is the hight of stupid.

Joe Biden is my friend. Joe Biden served this nation with his all, and the way he’s been treated is abhorrent. Mr. President, I sincerely hope you get well soon, and I appreciate your kindness everyday.

Hubby has gone to fetch Auntie from the airport. I super excited she's joining us at our little hideaway, but until I hear her voice, I'll still be worried about her plane crashing. She hasn't been driving for a few years, so there's not really another option.

I'm sitting here binging the final season of Handmaid's Tale when suddenly the door slams and I hear a gruff female voice say, "Stop watching that Bridesmaids Tale and point me to my room." Auntie's in the house!

I spent my entire morning teaching Auntie the Roku. She does not like it. She's very resistant to new things she considers frivolous, which is anything more than basic cable. It's going to be an adjustment for all of us. I just wish she didn't talk about her death so much.

Me and Pops have a little memorial day tradition that we've kept going for half a century now. No matter where we are or what we are doing, he tells me a new story about my biological father, who died in Vietnam before I was born. They are both my heroes.

I get why so many people are disappointed in the Handmaid's Tale finale, but I got the one thing I truly wanted. As a victims advocate, I wanted to see Serena truly remorseful & June forgive her because in real life, that's the closest thing to "closure" victims ever really get.

So my daughter and her hubby are onw officially staying in France for at least 4 years now that he's got a contract. I don't think they ever planned on coming back. They just didn't want to hurt my feelings. I'm going to miss them but I just want them to be happy. And safe.

Not a single DOGE cut was codified into law. Not a single fraud charge has been filed. The cuts that were made were done through illegal executive orders. Most will likely be overturned. DOGE WAS THE FRAUD

When I moved my family to the middle of Nowhere, VT, a big reason was to isolate us all from the societal shit storm on the horizon. All the folks in this town have been absolutely relentless dragging us back in. Auntie's scratch Friday Eve cinnamon rolls are a big hit, though.
