Enough about the price of eggs, from everyone. Cut the shit. The economy isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as they designed it—to keep you desperate, distracted, and exhausted while they cash in.

Everyone lies. It’s what they lie about that matters. Lies built on lies do not become truth. Lies are not wishes waiting to become true.

Is there anyone, regardless of party, who wants this to happen? Musk and his staffers should not have access to anyone’s IRS data other than their own.

This is the chaos I expected. I wanted to be wrong. Damn it. I also knew there would be loud resistance. Im glad I was right about this part. Courage and strength to all.

The Trump administration will stop testing because they don’t want people to know how bad it is. How do I know? Trump tried to do this during COVID.

The 17th would have been my mother’s 84th birthday. She died at 44. It will be 40 years since she called my name come August. Hits different this year as Dad is also gone now. Almost a year since he passed. He too would have been 84 this year. Miss them both. Grateful for the good memories.

Thinking about leaving FB, IG, Threads. Probably won’t completely disengage like I did with Twitter, but I’ll limit my content even more than now.

I’ve had anxiety since I was 8, panic attacks since I was 15, depression on & off since I was 20. I have a toolbox of coping mechanisms. Been using a lot of them to deal with this feeling of doom as Jan 20th gets closer.

We got about 3 inches of snow Friday night. Bright sun and warmer temperatures means it’s melting fast. The neighborhood deer was out looking for food.

Got a magic 8 ball 🎱 for Christmas. Going to consult it before replying to work emails. Should liven things up. Wish there was a “ Chances are the answer is in a prior email” option. Lol!

I’m still recovering from life altering events in 2023 & 2024 while not fully recovered from a life changing event in 2019, let alone the pandemic years. I’m not despondent. I’m tired. I’m concerned than I’m not ready for battle in 2025. Yet I rise every morning with the hope of a manageable day.

Just finished Netflix’s “A Man on the Inside” with Ted Danson and Sally Struthers. It was pretty great. I loved “The Good Place” too. An Easter Egg in the very last episode for fans of both shows.

I’m tired. I’m tired of making my body move even though all my joints scream “no”. I’m tired of pretending I’m ok when things when things are clearly not ok. I’m grateful for my life. I want the future to be less difficult than the last 5 years. I’ve faced things I never thought would happen to me.

While scrolling on my phone for landscapes & flowers for my 2025 calendar, I saw many pictures of Dad. It made me sad. I had to stop and sit with the sadness. And I’m still sitting with it. Sigh. It will be the first Thanksgiving & Christmas without him. All the family is feeling his empty space.

Been trying to walk twice a day for about 20 minutes each time. I used to be able to walk miles a day. Now I’m lucky if can get in 2 miles. Tonight’s view a few minutes before last light.
