I've been thinking about the Trump blowing Bubba thing and not only is it the gayest shit I've ever heard, but the projection of his fears as he went after immigrants and us trans, queer, and intersex people makes so much more sense.

I wish to not just find a job, but just fit in to the job I love most so I don't end up dreading it as far as going in to work every shift.
Can the universe answer that "prayer"?

I can't understand how companies put up job postings just for you to follow up and then tell you that they either have a full staff, or you'd just hear back if they're interested. Like...
WHY TF PUT UP A JOB POSTING THEN????

Well, my baby girl is sick with a flu, and my husband's grandma is in the hospital.
As far as grandma goes, no one can convince me she's not dying. Especially after what I've learned the past few days.
So Thanksgiving is us 3 adults (me, hubby, and MIL) and a sick toddler.

It's a bittersweet morning.
I loved this job, the work, some of my coworkers, how a lot of how things operated reminded me of how I once belonged in the Navy even if I barely knew myself as I am today.
Now it's my last day because I've been feeling like with every... situation? I found myself in

I was devastated to learn a lot of the new artists I thought I found were either a hybrid of human and AI or mostly AI generated, especially the latter.
Nothing personally against AI until no one realizes that they didn't know so we all end up feeling duped. I personally like to support humans.

I guess my dumbass 3 yr old black cat would prefer to die of infection than let us help him. I know the new kitten has been hard, but he got injured and no one knows how and he's hostile towards vet techs and he hates carriers.
So I guess he wants to die?

Day 3 of not smoking.
Monday is last day of work at the current job.
I'm... okay? The universe led me to this job, and it showed me I'd have to leave soon. I'm no longer sure of where it'll lead me to next, but as long as I pay attention, I know I'll get there.
Wherever "there" is.

If me being "down" as in "depressed," idk why Big Boss thinks forcing me to being screwed over as a flag tech is somehow supposed to be motivating. Like no, ofc I'm not going to stay.
But he certainly doesn't mind paying someone else hourly unless he uses the flag pay to meet Dab's old way of

I guess it's finally happening - I put in my 2 weeks yesterday cuz the day before we had oil changes to do at a school, and more yesterday.
Well, day 1 (Tuesday), the Big Boss (service director) helped me make sure I would have help cuz I've done anything like that before and in case something bad

Our kitten is a little boy! Probably why Cthulhu isn't a fan even though Cthulhu is fixed.
The vet agreed that the kitten is right at 3 weeks so Akatsuki's birthday is Oct. 21st! He'll be able to eat the wet food in a week or so and can go up to 5 hrs in between feedings.

Surprisingly, my husband's older cat, Zelda (10), is handling the new kitten better than Cthulhu, our 3 year old car. Cthulhu keeps hissing and growling at this whole 3 week old kitten.
I will say, he's doing better cuz before he stayed outside more than inside to just avoid the kitten. He will now

If it's 47°F in the morning when it's still autumn, this winter will probably be hella brutal.

My husband thinks people are reading too much into it,
But the way the widowed Erika Kirk grabbed JD Vance's head was wiiiiiiilddd.
If anyone I know (non-romantically) ever grabbed my head like that, I'd assume we're fucking cuz that seems too high above the shoulders for a normal, casual hug.

No CEL (yet? Again?) this morning but my car must be cursed for the rest of this task of gas cuz it's crazy how fast the miles to E is dropping (the module in the car is calculating the air/fuel ratio so it might be trying to catch up), so I might ne correctly that I'll have to refuel tomorrow or

I think I might've solved my CEL. And it's the rookiest of all rookie mistakes - improper placement of the (engine) air filter housing/box. Like, how was I able to do the clips without having the back put in??? No WONDER it gave me a too lean code.
But we'll see. Ever car is different as far as

I'd give anything not to have a CEL. Was really hoping it was just the gas cap as it was 11 yrs old anyway - and I sure as hell ain't putting the old back on - so it's either bad fuel from the HEB gas station when I fueled up Sunday morning, or it's anything fucking else.
Hell, even my dream was

My first CEL and it's not the gas cap. Been wanting to replace it anyway cuz it's 11 years old.
Hubby suggest the fuel I got was a bad batch basically, but he has someone at the shop with one of the fancier scanners, so we'll see if that can get us started. Please just be an O2 sensor or something.

I don't understand how this stove takes forever to boil water for spaghetti. Yes, it's a lot (2 pounds), but I know this pot can handle it. But these old-fashioned electric burners are just the worst. Gas is my preferred and I have had the fancy flat electric ones. Not my thing, so gas.

It probably sounds heartless, and I suppose it is, but we all reap what we sow.
What did these people expect when they terrorize everyone, all the time? And obviously not fighting back means they don't stop, so we're gonna be forced to do unsavory shit, but remember -- they haven't been playing by
