A strong, brave, determined woman who loves Mother Earth and Technology. I believe that we can have both in abundance. But I hate oligarchy and greed. These things have no place in a healthy world: retired minister, programmer, and dog groomer.
As a very definite product of the New Age Spirituality (in the form of neo-Paganism), as well as a Religious Scholar, I approve of this video.

It's been about 6 months since the election, and, mostly, all that has happened to me is that I now have lots more to do.

I can't believe how many times I've had to do the Serenity Prayer over the last 6 months.

I haven't been able to go to ANY of the demonstrations so far, but every day, I survived one more day, and that's enough.

Continuing to find even more ways to cut my expenses. Seriously considering doing my own plumbing. I really do not trust the economy right now.

I've been very stressed this week... mostly trying to plan for What-Ifs. I'm starting to feel better now. I have Concepts of Plans.

I HATE what I call "Stupid Drunk Tricks". And that is apparently how the entire country is being run right now. Alcoholic Drama. Trump acts just like a Dry Drunk. He has all the behaviors of extreme alcoholism, without actually drinking... including inviting over all of his bar friends to party!

I dreamed that I was at work, an ex wanted sex, (I declined), everything outside was on fire, and my car was towed. Stress, much?

As a person who has been involved in caregiving, and, also, as a former hospice chaplain, I can see a pretty clear picture of what happened here.
Betsy Arakawa was a VERY devoted caregiver.
Betsy & Gene were together for a long time.

The agency that has helped us fix things in the house before is probably losing its funding. In the meantime, I don't know for sure that we will be getting our checks this month or not. Oh, and btw, we don't really have indoor plumbing right now, so, there's that. Trump's World at its finest.

Our toilet is clogged, and there is water going into the basement. The agency that is supposed to help pay for this was not getting back to me, so I sent an email to her boss. I fully understand that this is Trump's world, now. In the meantime, I don't have indoor plumbing.

I am aware that St. Patrick's Day is problematic for a lot of people. I think, maybe, in the U.S., it used to be a kind of "Irish Pride Day". Too bad it became an excuse for so much homophobia later. It is also often loaded with the WORST Irish stereotypes of alcoholism and violent tendencies.
