So I’m in the middle of a Sewing 101 class, & last night I set in a zipper, & the feeling of accomplishment might be enough to overcome the nausea caused by the knowledge that I may never be able to retire because losses in the stock market are approaching April 1932.

Welp, I start a four week sewing class on Monday to overcome the PTSD I have from 7th grade sewing, where the first project was a 4 panel skirt, cut on the bias, with a set in waistband and a zipper, WTF?
The boys’ (yes, separate, but not equal) class made a potholder.

I just created my login.gov account so I can see if my social security statement is still accessible and why do I feel like I’ve signed everything over to a Musk minion?

The Grammys taught me that, while you should take Ozempic, you still need to have big boobs and lots ‘o booty.

What I admire about good writers is their ability to take your emotions in hand and leave you wrecked.
And what boggles me is from what depths in their psyches they can create such stories.
Just brilliant. Wrenching. Brilliant.
