Foul-mouthed & quirky heathen. Defecting from Twitter in the post-musky era. Leftist. Native Californian living in a red state. Please, no crypto or lovelorn DMs. That's a block. Was that too subtle? I'm taken, & I'm probably old enough to be your mom.

I just put an appointment in my calendar for an oncologist.
This has become very real & very scary.
I just had to write that down to get it out of my head. I'm not looking for attention. If I go silent for a bit, I'm processing.

Four episodes in, and I am yelling at the screen, feeling every bit of fear, tension & paranoia that the protagonist feels. Colmon Domingo is stellar in The Madness on Netflix.

There are few things as sweet as sliding into clean sheets. I even changed the duvet cover by myself. That's an accomplishment if you're 5'3" & have the expected "wing span."
Look, I take my wins where I can.

So there are two new episodes of Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches...
Let's see how badly AMC screws this up. So far, the series has been pretty lame. I try, with any book I love, to consider adaptations a completely different version. An update.
Not in this case.

Half of my family has a cold, & I'm not up to hosting Thanksgiving. I'm the new matriarch & I am so not qualified. I can do a huge spead, I'm just not into it this year.
Dinner is frozen pizza. My sons are perfectly intent on getting fast food if anything is open.
I am thankful for my family.
