Or, I AM JOAQUIN PHOENIX!

So speaking of dogs... This guy came home with me today...

“Harris County and Fort Bend County went to Clinton in the 2016 elections. But Trump wouldn’t be that petty, would he.”

UPDATE: They were able to make it out this evening and are en route to San Antonio for a flight to Delaware

I feel like a wuss, but I’m kind of glad for Spicey. It was so mean of Trump to not let him see the Pope.

Twelve dollars of pork, a bottle of bbq, and a couple onions will easily last through a school week. Check your goodwill for a slow cooker. And thanks!

So, my life course has been: get a job teaching, quit job to move back closer to family, get a job teaching, get laid off when they move the school to a smaller building. After six years of substituting and being an aide, and gambling on how long five pounds of picnic shoulder —> pulled pork can go without spoiling, I…

My Ogre was like that. He was a huge asshole of a cat, just as bitchy as they come on the outside, and a huge mushball and cuddle freak on the inside, and I loved that about him. We had a lot in common. He was one of the best parts of the last eighteen years. I had to have him put to sleep last year around now. That…

I never post on SNS because I’m perma-grey but I’m feeling good and I want to share.

You don’t want anything to have to be different. You know what I mean? You just want them to be happy.

Oh great, now he’s blind and we are going to nuke the sun.

We found the Halloween costume for my dog to wear this year. She’s gonna be sushi!

Finally finished this ornament. Now to cut it out and glue on a ribbon!

You would be totally within your rights to do that. #Ihatecilantro

Cilantro is pretty vile.

Thanks. That is a good line. Thankfully, he didn’t try to do any of the “you’re such a nice person” shit, though he did say he wanted to be friends. I replied that if I wanted to remain involved with an emotionally stunted son of a bitch who only got in touch when he wanted something, I’d still talk to my father. And…
