Ooooooh what did you get?

View from my door looking over the rooftops of the parked cars in the drive to see the baseball field and the setting sun. The sky is a gradient of blue above fading down into orange. The ball field lights are illuminated. There are trees to the right and left of the driveway and more trees lining the back side of the park on the other side of the field.

Baseball season sunsets are my favorite. Step outside to see the late sunset sky, the ball field lights illuminated, listening to the birds bedding down for the night, the clink of the bats, the kids cheering for their team mates. Just a beautiful experience every time. It never gets old.

Every day is taxing in the existential sense, this season ain't special.

The "balance in all things" needs to seriously stop fucking with me and my little family unit. Can we all be up together for a change?

My 20 had his first accident today. He is sore but otherwise okay. Both vehicles involved were totaled. I feel so bad for him. He lost his first car that he has invested so much into. Please send him good thoughts and healing energy.

One of my bonus sons lost his father yesterday. He and his 3 brothers (2 in elementary school) have lost the main provider, their role model, their guiding light. How do you console such ache?

Perfect. A thunderstorm to wash you away.

Justice for Survivors Act (SB91) The Thurman Perry Foundation stands with victims in our endorsement of Louisiana Senate Bill 91, the Justice for Survivors Act. This law would allow judges to consider the consequences of abuse and violence (including domestic abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking) when sentencing someone or re-evaluating an old sentence.

Whether it is prayers, good vibes, or even a RT, I just wanna ask for y’all’s good vibes as this week should see the #lalege hear Senate Bill 91 in committee.

TPF has been part @louisianajsa.bsky.social for 5 years. Your donations have helped support testifying survivors. thurmanperryfoundation.org

Good to know I'm not the only person who does this.

A yellow ribbon tied to the fence post next to your trump sign seems a little...whats the word I'm looking for...fucking stupid!!! He's the reason our troops are deployed to a war zone you numbskull.

I hope you are feeling better now.

I am just so burnt out, mentally, emotionally, physically. Allowing myself to rest is important but I've been conditioned to believe rest makes me lazy. Its a tough battle to overcome.

Learning to allow myself rest is a process. I'm constantly struggling with the way rest makes me feel. The guilt. The shame. The constant need to explain myself to others and even to myself. I can't be the only one who feels this way.

Took the day off. Finished laundry. Finished a brick craft build. Reorganized shelves to accommodate the new builds. Was surprised with another set from 20. He's always been my Lego (and other building sets) kid so I think he's excited that I love them too. Repotted plants. Great day.

I wish I could stop caring. Stop feeling. Stop loving. I don't want to be this way anymore.

All in total since the war started it is a dollar increase. Maybe 1.20. Its bs! I hope you are able to work from home. I'm applying for part time jobs to supplement my full time.

Gas went up another 20 cents in my town. I'm a delivery driver using my personal car. This is not sustainable. The "lower prices" guy isn't doing what he promised. I mean, no big surprise there, right?

The words needed to escape so I wrote you a letter. I'll do it as often as needed. I may or may not send them. Who knows.

I've started telling people to "fuck off" when warranted. Turns out, that's pretty often.

Love seeing 20 come home from his big boy job and immediately begin working on his project car. Dude is so happy in this stage of his life and it makes me so happy.

Its pretty great at our local joint. And only a half a mile away so its still piping hot when it gets here! 20 timed it just right and arrived to pick it up right as it came out of the oven!

Bowling alley pizza for dinner tonight. Don't come over. I'm not sharing.

She's spiraling!!!! Ahhhshit

The screws are currently being tapped out of my hinges.

See pinned post. 😫

Psst.. does anyone want to buy a book?

Hardbacks, paperbacks. I can even get hold of some spiral bound stuff, if that's what you're into.

No questions asked.

Delivered discreetly, so nobody needs to know about your book buying habits.

Today is 7 years since brain surgery #4. I had asked that this be as important to my family as it is to me. Kinda like a new birthday as the new me learned to exist over again. Nobody ever wanted to acknowledge it. So anyway. I worked on another building set tonight. Happy 7 years. 🥳

I'll post a pic when I get the rest of my sets finished

I just built the lotus flower set. My daughter and her bf got me the lotus and the cherry tree for Christmas. They match my tattoos 🥰

And now I've built another. I'm hooked.
