I quit smoking, which I talked about last week, but I have kept it up. Mostly I find myself really annoyed that all the other problems in my life (that I blamed on smoking) have not cleared up, like I still have bad heart burn and my teeth aren’t great.

So I broke my hip three months ago, and had some surgical screws put in because I’m too young (31) to have it straight-up replaced. I need to get a bone density test, and I’m not optimistic about the results of that.

I sent my gay son off to perhaps the most bigoted area in all of America, Lubbock, to attend his new student orientation for college. I hate every single thing about this place but my son is in love and transferred from a mediocre college in to a great one. He worked hard and got the grades. His boyfriend is there and

Weird, but it helped: I recycled all my ill-fitting, torn, or uncomfortable yoga pants and replaced them with all identical pairs of my favorite style in the correct size. Now every time I reach into my “cozies drawer” I know I will pull out my favorite pair, because that’s all there is!

I got a dog this week. Five years since my previous dog died, almost to the day, this dog came into my life and I am so damn in love with this adorable beast. I have been less stressed in the last few days than I have been in years. Puppy love FTW!

That’s an amazing!!! Been in & out of sobriety for a long time & I know what a challenge it is. Thanks for the inspiration😊

I am 91 days sober. I’m not quite flying my AA flag to everyone I know IRL, some people know, but alcohol  has been part of my coping mechanism for so long, that I’m really proud to be working on being a better person without it.

I went to an airshow today with the Red Arrows there, it was jampacked with people, and I only had a minor freakout when my Mum and I went from being the only people in the street to suddenly being surrounded by people who were pushing, shoving and shouting, while a plane was roaring overhead. Normally that’d be

I have never heard of this! It sounds like the foot equivalent of those nose strips where you yank out all your blackheads. Gross, but so satisfying!

Since I am constantly searching for good stand up on Netflix, the algorithm hit me with her first special repeatedly. I really loved Ali Wong? “Baby Cobra and Netflix thus thought I would like this person as well.

What an amazing woman. I’m crushing hard right now. I hope she has a full recovery and is honoured as the hero she is.

Like hating gays before you kid becomes one.

I hope this ordeal has changed this top Republican’s stance on LGBTQ and Gun Rights...

A kindly reminder to...

10/10 also would. But wouldn’t tell a soul.

I like to think he was making a homemade PSA to demonstrate how mental illness can debilitate your political career.

Trump is obsessed with destroying Obama’s legacy. He will undo anything Obama created, no matter what it may be or how good it is. Probably doesn’t even look at what it is.

And yet there’s a thread over on Giz where some fool thinks that if liberals just started being nicer that would change the minds of Trump supporters.

I just read Leah Remini’s book. JLo seems like a really good friend. I wish she would find a good guy.

Seconded. No man who ever had frosted tips is getting so much as the tip inside me.
