It's taken me all 10 months of this horrible, awful year to finally learn this. But the grief in losing some of these relationships is significant- even when it was necessary for my mental health.

Please no more lightning in Spring Hill!! Our house just off Port Royal was hit by lightning last night and I finally just got off the phone arranging all the contractors to come and fix things!

You have no idea how much I needed those exact words. I'm broken today. Hundreds of coworkers laid off months ago & another 500 today. Our local food band is begging for help. And neighbors are missing or hiding in fear. And I'm fuming at the happy friends on social media who just don't care.

I grew up as an MK in Asia. Spent most of my childhood there. And I'd give anything to go back "home" right now.

Please don't leave now that they've fixed it!!

Oh Hailley!!!! Thank you so much!! I so don't want to go back to that evil app!!

Thank you for keeping us informed!

I'm going to guess quiet = today, we mourn the loss of our country as we know it. But hopefully, tomorrow we can find the will to fight again.

I found one. A pastor told me he doesn't mind the 8 states proposing to make abortion a homicide offense (with death penalty as punishment). I asked about the lack of clear exclusions for women with ectopic and non-viable pregnancies. He said he still wouldn't oppose the laws because it's democracy.

Why bother? The leaders don't care about women unless they are having their babies or cleaning their house. It's the whole reason I left the SBC.

"Of course, Judge! We'll start releasing those grant checks we've been holding that you demanded we pay. Ummm... hang on. I can't seem to find anyone who knows how to work the printers around here. Sorry about that! Oh well!"
