A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas.

I checked the weather, saw there's a snow-rain mix, and then checked what the weather where my boyfriend is, and he reacted with "Keep that snow over there."
I can't stop laughing.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Unclench your jaw, have a snack, take your meds.
-You don’t have to justify your existence. You are a delight.
-The Cursed Object has been singing “Jingle Bells”, but has changed all the words to “Jam”.

If car companies were smart, they would make 1 low cost car in their lineup, and keep the design for at least 5 years to lower costs. We are rapidly transferring people into poverty. A $5000 car with a good design and low cost replacement parts would be a huge assist to the poor.

Going to need a death counter.

Officials in Mount Vernon today emphasized that we are not out of this yet.
We're expecting strong winds early next week that could knock over trees already vulnerable from flooding, in addition to more rain. Please stay alert and be prepared.

-Stop hunching your shoulders, drink some water, take your meds.
-If you feel like you hate everything, take a break and have a snack. That might help.
