Me and my frizz is honored to hold off summer a little longer.

I am two weeks past my personal deadline on two crochet projects.

But, I finished them. Eventually.

I still need to wash and do a second steam block, but they done and beautiful.

Will show pics after I send them off.

Just...proud of my ADHD self. I finished things and didn't hyperfocus to do it.

If you live in the Central Valley, you should thank me for the weather.

I decided to silk press my hair--it should be warm, hot, and ugly.

(It's moist. Silk press--ruined.)

Everyone knows a Black woman, silk pressing her hair, changes the weather.

You're welcome.

Gothel literally stands in for that horrible voice in your head that tells you to be afraid, don't go outside, don't trust...and you're getting a little chubby.

That is a valid feeling. Too valid. The only thing I can say is that if you experience your feelings when you actually feel them, they rarely overwhelm you to the point of no return.

Now, that's in normal times. :glances at the state of the world:

*Te Fiti

a woman wearing a black turban and pearls looks down ALT: a woman wearing a black turban and pearls looks down

:wails: Ta Ke forgot who she was--Ta Fiti. Cause an ashy ass man stole who she was. :wails harder:

Just for the facts.

When the citizens of China bow to Mulan.

When Flynn cuts Rapunzel's hair.

When Moana's grandma, on her death bed, urges her to go explore, and tell that bitch ass Maui to restore the heart of Te Fiti.

I am on my third Disney (Pixar) movie. Of the day. It's a marathon, at this point.

At some point in each movie, I have started to cry (sob). I think the estrogen in my HRT is working. lmao

Now, I have loved this movie. I never dug into the reason. Refer to not deconstructing.

As an introvert, as someone w/ADHD...

The world isn't just scary, it's unkind.

Of course a movie like Tangled hits.

So a big life shift and pressure is on the horizon.

Obviously that means I am watching nothing but comfort watches.

Here comes Tangled.

Mind you, I try not to think hard about movies/shows I love. I don't want to ruin them by deconstructing them.

Today, I finally heard Gothel.
"Outside is scary"

It was a good Aries season this year.

This weekend I was reminded some people will see your happiness and will lie to make sure you are as miserable as them.

That's the funniest part. Hair on purpose. Face, on purpose.

Tits...the girls just showed up bc the shirt isn't a turtleneck.

I am an absolute problem today. Lol

Rawr.

Right? I can't even pretend modest. I lewk goodt today.

Beautiful Black woman

Currently looking like I will steal yo girl, ya boy, your xir.

I am petty enough to do this. The next 12 years he gets a Hot Ones hot sauce.

At least take back his key. He let himself in. THE GALL.

I still spent 3hrs--travel and shopping time included--making that ashy negro this for his housewarming today.

Motherhood. #fuckthemkids

Do you know how many grocery stores he had to pass to get to ny hot sauce.

My son came home--not to visit. Barely said hi to me.

He came to steal my hot sauce.

The gall.

I feel old when I say they don't make them like this anymore.

A few turns, and it doesn't matter how dull your pencil.

The sharpener has to be on its very last legs to not work.

Given how many kids used the damn thing, it has to be YEARS old.

Feeling like Indiana Jones having aquired one.

Oh, you been in the trenches.

These things are heavier than they look. Hope the person it hit survived.

Lol It does smell like graphite.

Old school pencil sharpener

A souvenir from my stint working with kids.
