This has become my strategy…

Me: want to be financially responsible and make smart investing decisions.

Also me: spends $200 on new Uggs and taking my daughter out to eat so she’s not sad from her typical middle school mean-girl experience with her “friends”

Your game is effing awesome and so are you!! 💗

Just dropped $6.5k on a new AC unit and furnace.

If yours is old/finicky.. do yourself a favor and get a new one installed before Jan. 1st. New regulations (“A2L”) will be out that increase the average cost ($5900) to roughly $12,000.

Homeownership.. 😒 oodles of fun.

Why.. why does your cheese come like that?! *cries in American*

But fr… it’s pretty cute.

I’m so upset my amazing besties are having to leave TN because things are potentially threatening their livelihood due to their being LBGTQ 😞 I wish I could move my family.

One of our family traditions is to go to the tree lot and find the ugliest tree there. We cut it down, pay full price for it and then bring it home to decorate.

My youngest found our winner this year 🏅

I give you.. Christmas Ostrich Tree.
It’ll get eyes and a better beak soon!

“Civilized society” is being gracious.

I have not seen one even slightly remorseful post on ANY social media about the murder of Brian Thompson.

Imagine your legacy being that you destroyed the financial, emotional & physical well-being of so many that your death is practically celebrated.

I wonder if other insurance CEOs even care.

Here’s a picture of my short tailed possum. Because I have nothing of value to contribute today

Yeah. It’s brutal. I would have to put it down and walk away for days at a time.

The Rape of Nanking

Been feeling stressed the last few days… so here’s a Mono filter photo of the super moon sunrise a few mornings ago. I love that you can see the stars in it.

I’d rather be indulging in more Claire Allan novels.. but diving into “Red Queen” for a book club dinner on Friday. Only 6 chapters in.. fairly entertaining, thus far.

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

Not long ago my boss told me “you’re always so happy!” And I just thought… “if you only knew how much I just want to go to sleep and not wake up”

I’m so stressed it’s not even funny. Public schools are failing my daughter. I have 7 months to raise $17k for private school. My car broke down twice this week. My kitten disappeared today. And I lost the fucking top to the Worcestershire bottle.

You know what #Trump ’s cabinet picks remind me of?
When the mother-in-law comes over & tries to help. She puts away your dishes.. but they’re in all in the wrong spots & it will be years before you see that specific bowl again.

Except this mother is on meth and thinks household pets are dishes.

I pet a deer and bought a car today.

Both things make me want to cry.

Sumer County loves to destroy their libraries for some reason and I’m so tired. Two separate incidents here but ultimately related - people forgetting that libraries are for everyone, not just white, affluent, Christian people. Outlined here by SumnerForGood on IG.

If you are a Psy Thriller lover.. GET. THIS. BOOK.
Psy Thriller authors tend to be masters of plot action. But I’ve read few works that had my heart shredded by the emotional trauma. I had moments where I was choked up, reading a mother’s deepest woes.

@claireallan.bsky.social well done!

I’ve been resisting the urge to say anything. I don’t want to get blocked until I know someone is going to fight back

@thetnholler.bsky.social you are being mentioned a lot in the Facebook group. People are hoping you’ll hear about it.

Working on trying to pinpoint an individual or group who will lead the resistance to this.
