Just feeling sad and depressed tonight 😞
One of those times where I've been giving my all for months to support someone through rough times, but feeling unappreciated and kinda unloved. So I'm in a ball on the sofa, watching 70s britcoms, eating Taco Bell, and a little teary 😞

Sooooooo, you know how they say you should always measure garlic with your heart?
That's how I ended up with 3lbs of garlic in a pot

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

So something big happened on my vacation in Hawaii.
We had the most incredible dinner one evening in Waikiki and afterwards took a wonderful evening walk along the beach. As we walked I took this photo of just how stunning it was.
Immediately after the photo I asked him to marry me. He said yes. ♥️

Refreshed after a week of beaches and sun, the two travelers begin their long journey home.
Only 18 hours to go from now.
