My van registration appointment was evidently a half hour before I could have sworn it was, so I'm now sitting in the absolutely gorgeous marble entryway of City Hall. Which is echoey, oh so fucking echoey...

I can't thank everyone who helped with my GoFundMe enough. With y'all's help I managed to scrounge up a down payment that keeps my monthly bill to an arm instead of an arm & leg.

I will encourage anyone who needs help to do things like this, why is it so hard for me to encourage myself that it's fine to ask for help...😅 At any rate, my truck won't pass its next inspection &, large as it is, I use every inch of it. I can't afford to replace it by myself.

Gotta love knowing you're working with a famously brittle/difficult wood, getting it to where it needs to currently be, then deciding you're going to try something that you're not great at & have a decent chance of fucking up, then spending the better part of an hour sanding away said fuck up... 🫣😅

Easy 3 step method of removing a couch. Step 0 is, of course, prep. 1) Pick an arm, make it have a little lie down. 2) Sleepy time for the other arm. 3) Back rest joins in on the fun. Now you don't have to worry about any doors or corners. Some assembly required if you want to use it again...

Yesterday the VA gave me hearing aids to help treat my tinnitus using "notch therapy" where they slightly boosts everything *except* the frequencies my brain interprets the tinnitus to be (layman explanation, I'm not an audiologist). But now I feel like I'm talking awkwardly loud...

I have once again broken my personal record for number of laps around the sun. I think this is the first time the card from Ma arrived on my actual birthday. She makes them herself, so I love seeing what she came up with each time (even if sometimes they can be a bit of a puzzle to open). 😝🤣

One of the side effects for each ADHD, PTSD, & Chronic Pain can be memory problems. So I would like to thank past me for the lovely birthday hatchet I bought me off Kickstarter a while back. It arrived today and it's purdy, I'm looking forward to trying it out on a lower pain day.

At some point this weekend my Punk/Ska/Psychobilly/Rockabilly Covers playlist broke the 72 hour mark. Not that Spotify is great at handling a playlist that long, but theoretically I could have 3 days of covers, of various qualities, with no repeats... open.spotify.com/playlist/3e7...

For you non veteran types, you're about to enter a stage we call #embracethesuck. When things have been so bad for so long, it's suddenly funny. It will be ok. It's a coping mechanism. We will make it through.

How to glimpse a parade of planets in the January night sky
Six planets grace the sky this month in what’s called a planetary parade. Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are visible to the naked eye in January and for part of February.

Got up this morning and asked the robot what the weather's going to look like today, was told currently -2°, high of 20°. Got in my truck, looked at the dash, -2°. Thought, "I wonder what kind of sass WTForecast has for this weather?"
Evidently there are hot buoys in my area ..
