….2/2 My fiancé is a federal contractor, so the limbo of not knowing day to day even if the job is going to be there or not is crushing. Something has to change, and soon or it will send a lot of people to an early grave from the stress alone.

I haven’t been posting regularly here. The stress of the reality of everything happening with the current regime is a lot. I fluctuate between disbelief, numbness, despair, and anger. The worry for the future is overwhelming at times. 1/2 ….

Beatrice spent about a week in her thick hammock that appeared overnight. She finally emerged after molting to show off her new bright colors! With this milt she gained a good amount of size and she is a full grown adult.

The boys arrived safely. Alfred and Edgar are adjusting to life in their much larger enclosures. The second two pictures show Alfred checking out his space. I haven’t been able to get them to eat as of yet, however. I’ve tried blue bottle flies, spikes, and mealworms in 2 sizes.

She’s here! Beatrice has finally made it home! She had a snack of a few fruit flies and is settling into her enclosure.

I wish there was a way it would just hurt the Felon supporters. Unfortunately a lot of people who don’t are also going to get hurt and or die because of this

Turns out it was not warm enough to ship the spiders. Nor does it look so good for next week either. Dang persistent winter! However, it was warm enough to ship my feeder insect apparently. So I have bugs with no one to feed them to. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh, those two groups just couldn’t possibly vote for a woman mostly. A tough guy was better even if he was bad.

Optimistic to think it will just be a recession. I’m thinking more like depression once he destroys all the government agencies like he wants.

Picture of Beatrice is the actual spider coming. The pic of Alfredo’s not the actual spider. He will look something like that though.

DOGE was just suppose to be an advisory committee. They were to go in, analyze all the stuff and make recommendations on what to cut. Then congress could go about doing it. It was never part of the public plan to go in and take over, make unilateral decisions himself and start shutting thing 1/

Ok…. This is going to sound so snarky and incredibly non-pc, but damnit anyways…. I’m so sick of posts in my hysterectomy support groups from women subtly bragging about how well endowed their partners are! Are we still in high school or something? Literally “ is sex going to hurt after? 1/?

No, I agree. I think the only way he plans on leaving the Whitehouse now is in a box.

So I just got my car insurance statement, I pay monthly. It unexpectedly went down by about $30. Note on the statement says Driver rating change. Did this happen because I’m old now?!?

So about a week ago I discovered a jumping spider in our master bathroom. I’ve never had any desire to have a spider as a pet. She’s a canopy jumping spider, and her name is Eleanor. Tomorrow I go to buy her crickets to eat. Sometimes the hobby finds you.

Sigh. We just can’t have nice things anymore can we? Although I didn’t particularly listen to her much to begin with 🤷🏻‍♀️

Here we go again…. Reflecting on everything that took place yesterday. Everything the Orange Mussolini has already said and signed. 🤦🏻‍♀️ once again embarrassed to be American. Feel like I need to apologize to the rest of the world for us.

I’m confused…. For Bezos and Zuckerberg, sure…. But pretty sure Trump has been kissing president Elon’s ring.

😢😢😭 This is so beautiful. I love it. I don’t have children of my own. Just two young nieces. I’d do whatever it takes to help them or keep them
Safe. I can only imagine how intense this stuff gets when they are truly your own.

To be bad) I decided to sit on the floor to finish. Why did I do that?!? It got done, but now I was on my ass on the floor. Why did no one remind me it’s damn hard to get off the floor?!? Help! I live here now.

50 apparently needs to come with a warning label. I was cleaning my stove tonight and decided a deep clean of the front was required. I sprayed down the front, the oven, everything and realized I couldn’t really bend over long enough to scrub it clean. (This was the first clue this was going 1/2
