I'm *so* not perfect, politically or otherwise. That said, this = my online home, so act like you got some hometraining.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all opinions are my own, not a representation of any employer.
The firefighters didn't find anything, but they shut off the heating/air conditioning just in case.

The staff thanked me with an extra order of food, and now I'm waiting for my ride home.

An eventful post-work adventure, to say the least!

A photo I took a couple of days ago. There is a faint 2nd rainbow. Very faint.

On my way home from work yesterday, this gigantic cloud overtook the sky. As I described to my coworkers and customers, this = the kind of cloud where the next sentence is, "and then the aliens started shooting lasers from their spaceship."

It just brought a nasty squall.

See my plant babies? Yes, they're doing OK at the hotel, but they'd do *so* much better in an apartment--& so would I!

Please support my GFM as you're able, be w/ a gift of $$$ and/or a gift of reposting. Thanks so much, Bsky fam!!

The $$$ goes to keep me housed this upcoming week. 1 thing happening: my 1st job evaluation, where I'll talk about my Juneteenth/Black Music Month display. Your gift will help me give my best at the eval!

Whatever you can give = appreciated!
