I've discovered that if I watch only the last 8 minutes of any Hallmark Christmas movie, I'm much happier. Just skippin' right over all that exposition and conflict!

Deactivated my Twitter account. (But first I downloaded an archive of it.) It's sad to let it go, but I've had it with X's owner and all the toxic people.

I've resorted to emotional support muffins (because I haven't yet found an emotional support Canadian). Whatever works (even if it only works for as long as it takes to eat a muffin; I'll take anything).

Mine are about 12, 10, and 5. The youngest is a boy. All were strays. The oldest is a calico, and they tend to be territorial. I think she's still waiting for the other 2 to leave. (Mostly white cat=Gracie. The black=Suki. The striped one=Finn.)

Thank-you party for Dem election volunteers in my district. (Not the best picture, but I wasn't in the best of moods.) Local restaurant with Asian food and sushi. There was a scary offering, Bulgogi fries, which I steered clear of on principle. Some foods aren't meant to fraternize w/one another.

I'm learning Esperanto on the DuoLingo app. The app knows when it's a holiday in the country you're in and works related content into the lesson (vocabulary permitting). Here's one for om today that I'll probably be using a lot in real life after Inauguration Day.
