My coworker's church does that too. I've been expanding my knitting skills, so I give her my hats with all the weird cables and beads and stuff. 

That’s wonderful Tardis, not enough people in the world help the homeless community. Thank you so very much. ❤️

I am finishing a scarf I promised a 5 year old (rainbow - as requested), but my next project is going to be this: https://www.artdivision.org/the-blanket-project.html?fbclid=IwAR2Mn4AXhsX8NKHi0FvXdzSo2rSOd_yUNDgR73ljdpdalqR0-FK3ErHqasw

So a week ago yesterday I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. It’s likely benign but I still have to have surgery and maybe radiation. I had been put on FMLA a couple weeks prior since this PITA lump has been freaking wrecking my life. But I knew I couldn’t stay in bed, depressed much longer.

Oh, God, all Archie needs is a polka dot bow tie and he can be a Catskills comic.

Ohhh Archie! Your face!

Also, bless you for simultaneously helping our your elderly pop AND educating him about the reality of our here and now. Again, Archie: I love you and really dig your white flashes on face and toesies!!!

Oh lord Archie is cute. How’s he doing? It sounds like you’ve been both busy and kind.

Thank you so, so much for helping the homeless, to me that means a lot. Also Archie is adorable. 

Her brother (my dog) loves her as much as I do (and won’t stop licking her)!

I helped my mom move from a one-bedroom/one-bathroom apartment to a three-bedroom/two-bathroom house this week. I’m so excited for her since it’s her first time owning since she and my dad were married. We’ve also had the opportunity to unpack and place a large amount of family furnishings and decorations. My uncle…

I got a new kitty! Picked him up from the shelter and he was very sick. Trying to nurse him back to health. He’s the SWEETEST fucking cat I’ve ever seen.

My best friend and my sister are both pregnant. I’m not allowed to go around telling people so I’m telling internet strangers. Babies! Finally I get to be the weird aunty I was born to be, and enjoy watching these lovely little people grow up, without having to have any myself.

We finally had a nice summer day, in the mid 70s with a strong breeze, low humidity, so I did some gardening in the morning, and I made some cheddar jalapeno corn bread for our dinner tomorrow. We’re going to smoke some ribs, and have broccoli salad, and some dilly green beans and cucumbers (from the garden!) and the…

I’m having my IUD taken out (3 years early) next week. I finally hit my breaking point with the acne and mood side effects. I alternate between feeling relieved by the decision and angry that I let my gyn talk me into getting an IUD in the first place. The device insertion was one of the worst pains I’ve ever experienc…

So today’s mail brought an abundance of goodness: my new medical marijuana license, which I’ve been waiting for since mid-July (!), a package of fragrance samples that I got for The Bartender because he likes trying a bunch of scents and seeing what smells really good on him, and my TSA Pre check approval and known…

This week is been very tough. A dear friend(and former boyfriend) had a heart attack and is gravely ill. I’ve spent this last week alternating between pacing and cleaning, and huddling in bed. I told his daughter that I would come to a fundraiser tonight, but I can’t even get dressed. I just want him to make it…

Shelter Cat Update!

Hi Jezzies, why is everything so stressful? I’m so fed up with worrying about everything. This week has been horrible, my Cat Ollie has been diagnosed with a heart murmur, we are waiting on blood tests for the right treatment. The heart medication is a diuretic and we need the results to see how is kidneys and liver…

Thank you. I found the trick is to really reflect on the walk to the cliff, think hard about how livid you will be with yourself if you chicken out. Then once you get there get as naked as possible as quick as possible and just fucking do it. Hanging around would have been the end of my cliff-jumping ambitions.
