Paid off my car today! <3

As women, I think we should match other people's energy and see how quickly they lose their shit.

Our first life experience is being covered in our mother's blood. .... I can't stop thinking about that.

It won't make me any friends to say, but religion has been the worst thing humans have invented.

Maybe bake some bread tomorrow?

I've thought a lot over the past few years of changing my name. I don't think I ever would, but I considered taking my mother's last name but she adamantly said no. Lol. I think if I did choose a last name, it would be Waters. My whole life has been determined and shaped by bodies of water.

Yeah. Kinda want a couple weeks without rain please.

Didn't sleep for shit last night. But the coffee is good and the birds are singing. While the family sleeps, I'm gonna make some postcards. #postcrossing #snailmail #penpal

The problem is, if you showed me a fake tweet of trump accusing kindergarten teachers of forcing children to eat monkey brains because gay Muslims are taking over Idaho, I wouldn't know if that was fake or not without double-checking. That's how insane this all is.

The one day I'm not nervous and rushing and getting to the bus stop 15 minutes early is the 1 day the school bus is 10 mins early and I miss my kid's pickup. Lesson to my nervous system: Be anxious every day just to get there way too early. Or obviously if you're only 5 mins early, you're too late.

It's amazing how overlappy small towns are. The person making the event cookies is your ex's old boss and is now the receptionist at your lawyer's and you met them in a quilting class at your job and they gave you some furniture when you left your marriage. But you're not really friends yet. Lol.

But why is cheese so amazing?

While the polar vortex swings are scary proof of climate change, a 60 degree day in January is enjoyable.

This country got really fucking scary in the last week and a half.

I made a to-do list and now can see my reasons for anxiety and stress clearly lined out in columns. Win.

Knitting and writing seem the same this morning. You take a string and tie it into a thousand knots to make a fabric that hopefully doesn't make your neck itch. 1

I haven't gotten a tattoo since September. Someone send me tattoo money. Lol.

My anxiety is manifesting in me picking manically at my scalp. I may be bald by July lol.

Terrible day to be an American.

Well, here we go.
