The kids are going to be alright

Before she made her “comeback” I saw her perform at a small club show here in Melbourne and was surprised to see an audience composed of primarily gay men, singing the shit out of every song.

I picked up my EU (German) passport yesterday, and I’m looking forward to using it for the first time next month when I go to Germany next month with my son for the Stolpersteine ceremony in the small village in the Schwarzwald where my mother’s family lived for more than 200 years.

We recently replaced our horrible concrete flooring with laminate , it’s the best. And we purchased an ILIFE A4s robot vacuum which is 134.99$ on Amazon. I highly recommend it.

I immediately wanted this and my dumb husband said no! I love it!

Doing a trip to the UK and Ireland with my friend that lives in Paris!

It’s good to see you back! Best wishes to your Gran.

Ugh, the worst is moving everything. Hopefully the installers can work with you and you can move things in shifts from room to room.Move anything that can be moved easily (lamps, plants, etc.) to the basement, garage, wherever you can. It will be a complete pain in the ass, but when all done you will stand in the…

Retirement and moving to another country.

Cute!

My husband and I did treat ourselves to a fun rug in anticipation of laying it on the new floor:

Caretaking is hard work. Hope you get a break between. Caretaking for my mother when she needed it those last few months of her life was as good as it gets because she was nutty and funny and pretty relaxed about everything. But that is not a typical experience, and it was still hard!

2008 was my first time voting. I hope Duckling’s first election will be just as monumental!

I applied for a loan clerk position at my bank. It doesn’t involve cash, so it would be more secure for me.

Getting new flooring. We never really liked the basic beige (and easily staining) carpet the flippers put in this house, and they did a lousy job installing it (at one point loose staples were coming up through it— we think they spilled some and couldn’t be arsed to sweep them up). So soon there will be a nice…

Congrats to your grandma! Mine’s been in the hospital. She had a fall at the end of last year and developed an infection. Any positive vibes are appreciated— I’m hoping she makes a recovery.

Gaysian, where have you been? It’s good to see you. Sorry about your grandmother but congrats for her nearing the end of treatment. Hope all is well there.

Congrats! It’s been ages, guy!

And why don’t you have the heart to tell her the truth? Lets not forget a huge reason why racism is perpetuated is because of white cowards who don’t have the heart to enlighten their snot-nosed brats about the realities of the country they exist in.
