A note on my profile. Due to the political climate, I am going back in a proverbial closet until I feel safe to be me.

The Beast doll I have is the one that has the removable parts to reveal The Prince at the end of Beauty and the Beast.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 23h

When my father inspected my latest donation box, he ask "Why did you give the Disney PRINCES the boot?" I replied "I kept 4 of them" (I kept the Beast, Milo Thatch, Flynn Ryder, and Hans of the Southern Isles) (technically, Milo became King of Atlantis after the death of Princess Kida's father.)

I still have more stuff to go through in the basement and it may take me all weekend and into my mom's days off.

I have to downsize in the event I move somewhere smaller. Again, I am still working through the dirty laundry, the garbage cans for regular trash and recycling, and donating stuff.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 1d

I did a buttload of cleanup today. Washing dishes, sorting paper work for the shredder and my accordion file folder, even donating some old toys I no longer want.

Yeah, I still have a long way to go to be prepared for the inevitable of grandfather's passing.

I'm okay, except for a chipped tooth.

As I sit practicing the muscle memory of using a laptop, I sometimes wonder about my future...

Will I find the right person for me?

Will I have a family of my own?

Will I be living in a nice house?

Or will I remain to care for my aging parents and their needs?

Only time will tell the truth...

Dear @tabbiewolf.bluestripedboxers.com,

I just got a reply after calling the NJLDOL. I have a second job interview over the phone on the day after my 38th birthday.

I am awaiting more instructions via mail.

I also bought a decent laptop for work use. I am so excited!

Signed,
😇Angel😇

Healthcare system in New Jersey, USA, a place with 16 pharmaceutical laboratories, is broken in certain regards and choked with people in need of medical help.

I could say it in Dickensian style:
"Many can't afford to seek help and those that can rather die than lose their money.".

It is THAT bad!

Today, I lost 3.2 pounds from last week.

I'm 311.8 pounds and counting.

Good thing, I am still working my way downward. I think my greatest goal for this year is to reach 300 or lower.

As for my day, I donated unwanted dolls, got my DVD collections into Wallets that I labeled with tag keychains

I haven't slept well every night for the past 2 years. I get like 6 hours max and then have to work on some idea.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 5d

Just started a box of donations for the Salvation Army and found I had quite a few dolls...even a Harry Potter one. I decided after much internal conflicts, to donate him.

I outgrew him many years back, before the controversy.

Besides, senior year of high school only lasted 1 semester and I left.

With the weather being fickle where I live, it's unusually warm for October. My father and I agree that the way the world changed, it might be a weather issue involving our temperate climate.

It's raining on and off, though, so it is a welcome change for me (I'm allergic to plant pollen.)

TL;DR: Pretty visuals, great story, the impact is felt even today.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 6d

Watching the very first Toy Story. Even after 30 years, I am still blown away by the attention to detail within the limitations and how the story remains part of the long term pop culture zeitgeist as the first CGI animated movie.

Laptop keyboards require a different muscle memory from smart phone and desktop keyboards

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 6d

Getting used to the laptop is a little hard, but thankfully I learned to write a letter in my Office Word app.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 8d

Dear @tabbiewolf.bluestripedboxers.com,

I'm setting up my new laptop. It's for work, but it can also do audio\video playback or video games

However, I will be working on it, getting used to it.

You must feel terrible after that long return flight. Get some rest. You deserve it.

Cordially,
Angel

Right now, I am testing out my 128 GB flash drives...One was a dud.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 9d

In a couple day, I will have a laptop for the first time in 25 years. (When I was in 6th grade elementary, age 12 in 2000, my handwriting was tragic and I required a laptop for schoolwork.)

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 9d

Unfortunately, I don't know what to say. That sucks...🙁

I can at least say nothing weird has happened to me yet. But I did buy a laptop for work purposes.

How does fruity flavored oral hygiene products sound as the flagship product line of my company? My computer geek friends approve of it.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 10d

Quiet today. My parents are currently working today.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 11d

Man, it can be a pain in the ass to attempt to figure out things to keep, donate, or trash.

I'm downsizing my things in the event we need to move when my grandfather dies.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 12d

Someday in the not-so-distant future, I am going to look back at how ridiculous politicians got, the going rate of eggs, even the fact I am still a housekeeper who is earning $40 a week to pay for my vices of video discs with tons of funny quotes.

Man, I am ready to turn 38.

Ate more freeze-dried fruit (peach and mango)

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 13d

So far, eating freeze-dried fruit, I had:

Fuji apple
Asian pear
Strawberry
Banana
Raspberry

At least I got some real fruit in me.
