I miss who I was in 2019. The past 5 years have turned me hard and cynical.

In 2034 my spouse will be 68. Just saw this news story come across my feed and had to laugh because 23 years ago he won a costume contest where the theme was "Come as your favorite myth". He wore a sweatshirt that read "Your Social Security is just fine and will be waiting for you upon retirement."

I wonder what it's like to not know anyone that has done a fundraiser to pay for medical bills or rent or groceries or emergency travel/funeral expenses.

This is the 7th Mother's Day since I lost her. I still miss her every day, but the tears don't fall as often as they used to.

Just finished watching Dying for Sex on Hulu. I love dark comedy, I've lost someone to cancer, and I've been The Caretaker. This show "gets it". It's beautiful and amazing and funny and heartbreaking and everyone should watch it. The last episode is....wow. 💜💜💜

I was curious so I did a quick search on the origins of April Fools Day. I've studied enough history to feel like this seems a plausible story. I also found it really interesting that there are so many countries that "celebrate" the same way on the 1st of April. #BoringFacts #ResearchForNoReason

With each passing day, I find it more difficult to just go about my life and pretend everything will be okay.

Took my 76 year old father to his PCP today and the RN began his visit by asking him the first 4 questions on this list. When I asked why, she said it was to see if he was depressed. Then I said, "he's not the one you should worry about". They both laughed. 🙃 #EverythingIsFine

I'm so happy that I decided to stop hosting an AirBnb. Along with large corporations stealing housing and escalating rent costs in so many cities, now there's this.

When I was 19 I took a class called Culture During the N*zi Era. It was taught by a man who lost both sets of grandparents in the Camps. The entire class focused on the propaganda and grooming used by the N*zis. I wish more people had taken a class like it; things might be different right now.

"You can't pour from an empty cup." But....you can keep hitting the cup on the counter until you cause a hairline fracture that will eventually widen and the cup will finally just shatter. 🙃 Oh, I'm fine, why do you ask?

I was only today years old when I realized that listening to Salsa music is PERFECT when you have a lot to do and little motivation to do it. Why didn't I know this already?!?!?

Couldn't sleep last night so I spent the time going over every awkward/awful interaction I've ever had. Ya know, like ya do. 🤣

What's surprising to me is how many people are shocked by what the orange lint ball and his billionaire buddies are doing. "Why isn't the military stepping in?" "How can they just do away with all these government agencies?" It's like they just never listened when they were warned about P25.

Just came across a pic of myself from 2019 when I had a mohawk. *sigh* I miss that haircut, but I just don't have the energy anymore that's required to HAVE that haircut. 😞

Reading this #book by Sarah Clegg. Just read this: "I'm as pro wassailing as the next person, but I am baffled by a newspaper that thinks wassails are what will mend our society rather than a re-instatement of the social safety net, and perhaps a touch less racism, misogyny and transphobia." ❤️❤️❤️

I do a lot of #baking for my small business and most of my customers will always choose anything with #chocolate over anything else. The price of it has been on the rise since 2020 so I thought I'd check out where we get it since tariffs are looming. *sigh*

Anyone else finding it really difficult to motivate yourself to care about the normal things? Yeah, I have to work tonight, but what does it matter if I do? Yeah, I need to shower and eat today, but what does it matter if I do? I can't pretend nothing insane is happening, but I also can't NOT. 😖
