6th-gen Canadian on land stolen from First Nations here 1000s of years. Sometimes I want to say things without paying for it in my personal life. I've cheated on lovers. I've had abortions. I've done things I won't admit to. Never killed anyone.

So ... if the world around us and the people in it respond to our "vibrations," it behooves me to visualize myself as a bunch of delightful, dancing, yellow daisies instead of the anxious bundle of thistles I am. I'm going to try it. What have I got to lose? The challenge will be remembering.

In our hallway I hung a round ceramic piece of art in my usual whatever-works way. Himself said, disgusted, "That will just get knocked down." This has never happened in the 15 years since I put it there. I should never listen to a word he says. But I do. No one is wrong ALL the time.

This appeared in Hustler Magazine in October of 1990. He was an asshole then and a bigger asshole now. #USDemocracy

I bought a cheap little birdfeeder. "Junk," said Himself, contemptuously. "Won't last a week." Three weeks later it's still hanging in there & the wee birdies prefer it over the other feeders, & I think to myself: "Wrong again, Mr. Know-It-All." It's not the first time. Also, he talks way too much.

I'm deeply, deeply tired. So tired, in fact, that I have begun to wonder if there's something physically wrong with me; not just caregiving, then grief, then a crisis resulting in anxiety. I decide to ignore that possibility & carry on like the healthy lucky person I've always been. Hope I'm right.

I may seem like a confident individual with healthy self-esteem, but all it takes is a reasonably justified criticism from someone else and I will lie awake half the night defending myself in my own mind. I wish I really didn't give a shit if, as this time, I meant no harm.

I am Canadian and I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY AN ORANGE FROM FLORIDA OR A DROP OF FLORIDA ORANGE JUICE! FYI, Oasis orange juice is a Canadian brand that sources oranges from Brazil. BUY OASIS! 🍁

Also - some USA products aren’t displaying their origin. IF you don’t know where it’s FROM - shelve it!!!

My friend is extremely addicted to her phone, which reminds me it's time to take another look at the digital wellbeing settings on mine because I'm probably no better.

I'm staying with a friend who won't let me pay for groceries, drives me around, & puts up with my intrusion into her space. Tonight she went out. I saw her phone bill, called the phone company, and paid it for 5 months and I FEEL GOOD. Here's hoping she doesn't skin me alive.

It surprises me how quickly days pass while I basically do nothing but wait for news. It's almost all been good for the past week, thank goodness. Still, my faith in the trustworthiness of life is shaken. Just having something like this happen has done it, even though it hasn't resulted in death.

I'm staying with a friend who is 10 times more particular than I am. It makes me realize how unnerving it must be for someone 10 times less particular than me to live with me. Maybe we all have a touch of OCD in our own way.

In spite of the bullshit seen in that video from the WH, Trumpers continue to defend the idiot prez's words and actions. Those fools ... that's what's scary: that people can be so dumb and think they are smarter than everyone else. I really think there might be "something in the water."

Met a friend's brother who is a bit of a rogue & interested in me & vice versa, so I must ignore him & run the other way if I don't want to blow up my life as it is. Then I woke up. #MarriedNotDead

I didn't get my children vaccinated (this was more than 30 yrs ago) because I didn't trust vaccines and thought my babies safer without them. Now I think it was pure luck they didn't get a serious illness and that I was stupid. Now they would be first in line if I had it to do over.
