Two weeks ago I had a mini manic episode and crocheted 79 granny squares. Anyway the yarn I decided that was going to "bring my vision" together has arrived. All I can think about is the stress injuries I have my elbow and wrist.

I've come this far though. I must see the vision through.

Also just in case yall are losing out on pay checks over this remember, Republicans are the ones who also decided to not pay essential workers or back pay furloughed employees as well.

This is all on them.

The Shopping Season has begun folks. The line at El Chaparral back to the entrance. The wait was an hour long. You know how long that foot bridge is...
That's what happens when you stick an outlet mall right outside the crossing.

I got some left over in the fridge that I'm really excited to eat. I just KNOW if I had a partner, they'd have ate it before I got to it.

I admit I am not cut out for the couple life. Y'all are strong.

But hear me out, them are the only ones keeping the denim maxi readily available. If they all leave the church, it's gonna be 10x harder to find one when I get the urge.

SenatorWarnock just broke it down: health care is on the line.

A Chatham County family once paid $559/month for coverage—now it’s $2,100 after GOP subsidy cuts. QUADRUPLE the cost just to stay insured.

Your boy Trump got them Air Traffic Controllers, you know the ones he DIDN'T DEI fire in January, calling in sick because he said he may not pay them.

Allegedly. It's cold and flu season now. And folks with high stress jobs have weaker immune systems...

Allegedly.

DO NOT FUCKING FORGET THIS. IF NOBODY GETS PAID ON THE 15TH IT'S NOT THE DEMS FAULT.
The fact that I have to defend these people who have been doing a substandard job this whole time, pisses me off. But here we are.

Atiya Townes @tiarocket13.bsky.social · 1d

Your boy trump and his cronies put in place contingencies to make sure furloughed employees still get payed during shut down back in 2019. However this administration wants to not pay them during this shutdown because Dems won't bow down to the Repubs tantrums even though Repubs caused the shutdown.

Good day BlackSky. I need everyone to know, my cat Boba Jermaine is upset with me because he laid his big ass in the middle of the hallway, and I still walked around him.

He was not a big enough obstruction. Everyone feel bad for Boba Jermaine.

I'm wondering if I'll have the space for it next year. Depends on where I am. My lease renews in February, so I'll have to see.

He's jealous, and he wants you to come do that at his house but is too prideful to ask for help. Toxic masculinity demands he negs you to his detriment.

I heard if you harvest loofah on time they actually taste good. The cool this is, if you make and sell soap you are guaranteed a limited edition loofah batch once you have some dried ones on hand.

I blame the parents. These younger ones just order stuff instead of sending the kids out with a list and some money to walk the mile downhill to the store than back uphill with milk, oil, and the wrong cheese.
Shout to Mark at Flanagan's, for always exchanging cheese. 🤣🤣🤣

While I was waiting on yarn for the granny square cardigan I decided to make a massive tote bad with whatever yarn I could grab. It's massive, ugly, and heavy. It still needs a lining though. So my goal is yo find a lining from my fabric stash and a strap. I ran out of matching yarn.
