I actually was starting to get worried that that was what had happened. I just went and checked the Ballot trax website and it said it was received. For some reason, I didn’t get the notification. Whew!

I’m signed up for ballot tracking and dropped my ballot in a drop box nearly 6 days ago now. I still haven’t even got a notice that my ballot has been received. Anyone else having this issue? I usually just vote by mail so I’m not sure what my timeline should be.

It really is awful. Enjoy!

I read Jane Eyre at least once a year

I just read the prequel to The Pillars of the Earth and it was very good! I’m also rereading Operation Mincemeat for the third time. World War 2 spy stuff was bonkers y’all!

Well...I’m going to be eating a lot of tuna, roast beef, and milk. In my grocery app I requested milk powder, roast beef, and canned tuna(in one serving cans). For some reason, the shopper brought me the HUGE restaurant size packages. If we weren’t in the midst of a pandemic, I would just have a dinner party or just…

I love mint/chocolate and my big fear is always that it will tip over into toothpaste territory

My friend works in an aquarium. That looks like the kind of dessert someone would bring if they were having an “sea floor” themed party.

I don’t think it can get anywhere without Pence onboard. Maybe Pelosi just wants to poke at Trump until he strokes out while ranting on Fox News

In order for the 25th amendment gambit to work, Pence would have to agree to it. I don’t see Vice-President Fly Perch going for the power grab this close to the election. If they try it and it fails, it will just cement the Trump supporters sense of aggrieved persecution. This is the shittiest season of Game of…

I remember when I traveled to New Zealand during George W.’s president. I jokingly said I was going to wear a shirt that said “I didn’t vote for him”. Oh, how I wish for those days again. Yesterday, I nearly lay on the ground and cried from embarrasment over what has been happening in my country.

Excellent point. *sobs*

When Joe Biden was Vice-President, we had a Pandemic Response team.

He looks like he gave Bacchus a blow job.

My search history contains the following: “How many juul pods in bathwater would it take to kill a person that weighs X pounds?” I swear I don’t want to harm anyone, but yeah my plant knowledge and stacks of true crime books could raise some eyebrows. lol

I’ve been feeling really crap (mentally) this year so I’ve decided to go back to making a daily gratitude list. Here are two things I put on it: I opened a bag that I thought contained pictures from a trip and found  a picture of my ginger cat that I had 20 years ago, money, and all sorts of travel ephemera. Also, the…

I read the words backhoe, trench, and dark night and my mind immediately jumped to “body disposal” Maybe I should stop reading True Crime and switch to romance novels for a while.

Thank you for taking a stand. I got called “The R-word” a lot as a kid, and it is just so hurtful. At least you have a few less toxic people in your life.

Mary Berry would call that bread “rustic”. (and probably also “scrummy”)

Oy, so many headaches! Nightmares too. Early this morning, I jolted awake convinced that we had just had a sizable earthquake. I checked though, and the only one near me was just a 2.5. Are anxiety quakes a thing now?
