A year ago today, a friend of mine shot his infant. And his wife. And then was gunned down by police while he tried to kill his other two daughters. It’s still impossible to process.

I still feel naked without my wedding rings. But nothing to do but keep gong. Wearing our 10th anniversary ring on my right hand now. Bc it’s a really pretty ring. And I’m considering it now as a thank you gift for birthing our daughter. Bc she’s wonderful, and I’m not at all biased.

I feel like an unattractive piece of shit and also that I’m prettier than I ever knew I was since my husband left. I guess my glow-up is in process. (Also spite. I am very kind naturally. But I dare you to push me. )

Watching the daily show from last night or the day before (what is time?) and one of the MN protestors is throwing a slices of bologna onto ICE cars so it sticks to the car. AND THIS IS MY PROTEST JOB. BOLOGNA THROWER.

I watched a woman get interviewed on the one-year anniversary of the Palisades fire. She lost everything. She was nine months pregnant at the time and her biggest sadness in the interview was that she hadn’t really been fully present for her daughter’s first year of life.

Thinking of my “happy labor newborn” picture. I was awake for 48 hours, all of which were induced labor. Which turned out to be back labor. I burst the blood vessels in both of my eyes during 16 hours of active labor. So yeah, I don’t have any glowing mom and newborn pics.

I am trying to be all “single,” but I haven’t done my best at forming getting my husband, despite his selfish ways.

As a child of the 70s m, I have so sometimes wonder why all the adults felt it was so important to impress on us that life is cold and cruel, and heartless, and then you die. I mean, my parents were relatively loving for people from the Silent Generation. But…

Also, if anyone needs to know the humidity level, you can just ask me for a picture of my hair. If I’m at Bozo levels of frizz, you should just stick it in a bun and stop thinking you can get away with it down. You CANNOT.

Things I have said as a parent that confirm I’m Gen X:
“If you slam that door one more time, you will no longer have a door. I’ll take it off while you’re sleeping and then you can slam something else.”
May have also said, “Oh, you’re BORED?….I can give you something to do. “

The scary part is if I die, it could be “the cat ate my face bc he was hungry” territory. I live alone now. No roommate. No husband. I work remotely. I could be dead for several days before anyone notices.

Our grandchildren are at some point going to get stoned and debate whether, if they had a time machine, they should use it to go back and kill baby Stephen Miller.

I had two feral kittens that I started feeding a few months ago because cat person/KITTENS/CATS. They’re “teenagers” now but sit at the back door at 4:30 and stare at me imploringly until I feed them. And then hiss when I open the door to give them food. Lol. I always tell them how scary they are.

Cracked me up seeing this tonight. Because at the time, the Saints lost their last game and were done, season over. And we haven’t been to the playoffs since the NOLA no-call travesty in 2019.
