Well, I'm gonna leave Toledo this morning... yup, I'm gonna reboot my router and see where I turn up next.
(Every week, my router's IP address shows me in a different place. Last week was Kentucky on the Indiana border, this week has been Toledo... every week it's someplace different.)

I just found out that my website ranks in the top 200,000. For some perspective, worldwide, there are over 1.1 billion websites, but only about 200 million of those are actively maintained.
Some of my stories have been read hundreds of thousands of times, while others have fewer than 10k.

So #Bluesky is telling me I have to #verify my #age to access certain features "because of my location." Bitches, every time I reboot my router, I show up in a new location. From Memphis to Los Angeles to New Orleans and 100 other places. Y'all have no clue where I am, and I wouldn't verify anyway!

Today marks 47 years since the passing of my 7-month-old son, Patrick. While there has never been a year when this day hasn't weighed on my heart, there have been years when the burden wasn't so heavy. This year, for whatever reason, I miss him more than ever. [1/2]

For the first time in several years, this morning I had oatmeal for breakfast. While adding my "special ingredients," I began to laugh.
During chemo, the dietician suggested I add oatmeal to my diet and my daughter Katie exclaimed, "Nooooo!!!!"

For those of us who watched the movie Final Destination, it makes me wonder if this wasn't one of those moments.

Her: I'd love to get together with you sometime.
Me: Have you read any of my stories?
Her: No. Should I?
Me: I write honestly about my life, so read them, and if you still want to go out, I'm game.
Her: Okay.
That was a month ago today, and I've not heard one peep from her. 🤣🤣🤣

Yesterday at a Halloween event, I saw one of my young friends who has the last name Crowe. I saw her and yelled, “ONE!”
Everyone was confused!
I said: I came as a music agent!

Been a busy month... just got back home to maintenance and security tearing the neighbor's door down... apparently she superglued the lock on her apartment and another neighbor's (who stole her man!) before turning in her keys. They mentioned an arrest warrant for "destruction of property." #drama
