Whenever I part with someone, I try to say a proper goodbye, as it might just be the last time we ever see or speak to each other again. We live in a dangerous world where every moment might be your last. So, as I leave now for Trader Joe’s on the Sunday before Christmas, I wish you a fond farewell.

Not me getting so excited about my new laundry booster pellets that I forgot to add regular detergent.

Props to just stopping in the middle of the grocery aisle. Personally never tried it, but it seems big.

My phone just auto corrected "trauma dumping" to "trauma dumpling," so I painted this in case anyone would like a visual of my mental state.

How's everyone else doing?

“Don’t let politics ruin your relationships” I didn’t. It wasn’t politics, it was their blatant disregard for human decency and their ability to completely normalize the bigotry, homophobia, and racist nature of a man who has no business leading.

I was worried my carry-on was over 50 pounds so I put it on the scale and at 28.8 pounds it turns out that I'm just a wimp.

I try to give an accurate medical history but if you include marijuana in asking me if I use recreational drugs I'm going to say, "I have not," then under my breath, "...yet today"
