Rewriting my life in 2025. Less of carrying other people’s bullshit and more making a dent in my yarn stash. ADHD, queer, middle aged, work in tech, married. Airstreamer!
Choose empathy 💕
Spent yesterday doing a benefit for children with cancer and their families. A very sad set of circumstances that got us involved, but we raised a lot of money for charity, played a kid’s favorite songs, and had a really nice time. ❤️

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.

Let that sink in.

Cats are gonna train me to poop with the door open. I can’t do anything without a cat now.

Cat Distribution System is working I see.

Next time someone calls me and it looks like mortgage spam, I’m going to tell them that this phone is involved in an investigation and what is their relationship to the deceased?

Just wanna hear what they say.

Me and this car startled each other when I sat down to drum. 🤣

I finally got one too many random annoying pings at work and this one was “I hope your father in law’s health is better.”

I just messaged back “he passed away, how can I help you?”

I don’t know!

This is my one weekend of quiet sandwiched between father in law dying and my grandmother’s funeral. :(

I don’t want to go to sleeeeeep

So the other neat thing about staying with My aunt is that it’s in the house that my grandparents lived in. I grew up here. So I’m right at home just curling in a corner anywhere and cracking out a project since my aunt went upstairs to listen to her audiobooks.

At my aunt’s house tonight. May just spend the next 2 nights here so I don’t have to drive so far. Work is 17 minutes away! That’s why this is my long term plan to keep working and deal with living 56 miles from work. I’m couch surfing 10 miles away. 🤣

And it’s a great chance to be feral ADHD. 👍

Me clutching my crochet project while my mother in law says something crazy from 4 feet away.

I also have been making some dishcloths/washcloths lately. #crochet

It’s been a rough few days but I finished this! #crochet

I’ll put the pattern in the replies. This didn’t take too long to make, and I used the Hobbii Metallico yarn. It takes just over 3 balls of it (get 4 to be safe!). It’s absolutely gorgeous.

Last meeting yesterday went sideways.

I was high and drunk. My cat got her claw stuck in my shirt while she was puking. My mother in law is in the hospital. I brought my brother in law 3 pieces of pizza and some brownies.

I took a shower. I got puked on by a cat.

Send thoughts and prayers??

I think I have misophonia. Specific to listening to phone calls on speakerphone. Which is constant lately. I go into a complete rage listening to certain people on speakerphone, and two of the ones that get me have called today. It’s a rough day to hate certain sounds. :(

A house caught fire, someone hit the gate, our road has been ripped up, our furnace died, we put my FIL on hospice, it’s performance review week, some other crazy shit happened that I can’t even say, all this has happened in a 5 day span, I’m so tired and I probably am forgetting 4 things.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Finally put a pompom on this, and now it’s actually finished! #crochet

I have a difficult week ahead of me, on so many fronts. I’ve tried to just relax but I just feel more and more wound up. So little is *right* in the world right now. :(

Onesie crochet gremlin vibes now including listening to a lot of Hammerbox (and other Carrie Akre fronted bands and songs).

It’s a “Carrie Akre take me away” kind of day I guess.
