He has a status hearing today. He thinks he’s going to get a bail reduction and bond out. I don’t think so.

Guy dies when his until truck exploded. Why did it take me so long to get it. His truck was a bomb. He accidentally blew himself up on the way to doing a terrorism.

He always said he was allergic to caffeine and wouldn’t allow chocolate around. I made brownies today for the first time in probably 12 years. Delicious but gave me heart burn.

Ahh yes. The end of the semester. When my entire work world crystallizes into “pretty please just submit the documentation you assured me you were aware of all semester” with a hint of “why did you let that employee checkout without clearing them with sped?”

How was he buying multiple fire arms and silencers while we had a little over $1000 in property taxes past due? And I’m bad with money??? Jesus.

This is Callie. She lives outside and won’t let you pet her. But I feed her and she follows me around the RV park so guess she’s my cat. I have no idea what to do if I ever move my trailer because I don’t think she’d take relocation well and I’m not sure anyone would feed her.

I do work in the DV space and know that shelters are really struggling after a year of funding cuts, so I decided today to do a little donation drive for the Houston Area Women's Center.

I have a box on my porch. I'm putting my address on main. If you're in the area, feel free to drop off stuff.

Reddit thread about what you said you’d never … the amount of women who replied a variation of: never thought I’d end up with a pedo or abuser is massive. Oddly comforting to know I’m not that rare.

So. My 18 year old went 48 hours without texting or answering calls. He still lives at home. So I overreacted. Embarrassed him and got told to go away and leave him alone. This season of life is so fucking dark.

Friday kinda sucked. My life is still spinning out. But these guys love me so there’s that.

She has an uncannily human face for someone who is definitely a cat.

I adulted real good today. Went to the gym AND cleaned out my car with soap and windex and everything. Someone should give me a cookie.

Matter of fact. Broken up. Moving to what comes next. Oddly peaceful and settled compared to the turmoil of what and why and how come.

There needs to be a support group for people going through it so we can vent share and bitch without being judged. Cause some of this is so big and so confusing that I can’t do anything with it.

Anyone know if there’s a way to separate lines off a family phone plan without having to pay off phones and new credit pulls and all that? I just want to keep my phone and number and my kids phones and numbers.

Lost health insurance. Working on getting more. Wellbutrin is $50. Licinopril is $30 and enbrel is 2,500 a week. Anyone know any real discounts until new coverage kicks in?

I read Bluesky so that I can see that there are real life grown ups with hobbies.

Internet down at work does not mean I get to go home. But wouldn’t it be nice.

Florence and the machine is coming to my city in may and I am both too broke and too uncertain about where I’ll be by then to buy myself a ticket. Sigh.

Today’s thought: I am not responsible for making someone feel better about the consequences of their choices.

It’s amazing how dependent you get on having that person to text and chat with all day. And then that’s gone and you’re stuck with nobody to tell about it or talk to and it just really fucking sucks.

This was my first Halloween in 27 years that I didn’t have kids to take trick or treating. I watched bad horror movies with my cats and I guess it was fine. Couldn’t sleep. Figure 5 is morning enough to say Fuckit and get moving.
