Yeah. I know what they likely were. My "meh" stands.

Also, as expected, pics are all over Reddit with the expected responses "we live near airports"

Well then you'd know you don't see this every day, you arrogant nova fuckstick.

DCA, IAD, Andrews, & Fort Belvoir are each between 5-25 miles from me. I see & hear all the flying things. Honestly, don't even notice them anymore unless they're really low.
But the 9 jets I saw all at once tonight (followed by 3 more) were a little...

I'm so excited. But trying not to get too excited. But it's me, so I'm so excited. 🀣

17 chose a brewery to hang out at on this first warm afternoon 🀣
Tbf it's bc they have a self serve taps wall with sodas included. And it's at an art complex. But still. Wise choice.

I feel personally attacked by the announcers suggesting that 31 years ago was 1995.

Let me guess, you stayed home and didn't vote because you didn't get your unicorn?

What's that?

I feel like I'd have to relocate to another planet to fix this. There's never a break. πŸ˜’

I can't keep going like this. I just want to hide under my blankets all day.

Last night, I was reflecting on the small subset of trauma from that past year that is related to my profession. How I feel it, physically. I wonder if I can die from too much cortisol.
When I woke up, well... that's a whole other post.

Virginia voters: the primary election is being moved from June to August to allow time for candidates and voters to prepare in the event that redistricting passes (make sure you vote on that in April).
This is a one time change.

He's got two kids. He's been in the stupid Guard for 6 years. He's been deployed for two of those.

And *this* feels like he's grown up lol (he's not, trust... he's way too much like me to ever allow that to happen)

Friends, I know there's a lot going on right now, but I need to get some feelings out.

My firstborn child is going to be THIRTY tomorrow.

What in the actual hell?

Carry on.

Enjoy this photo of Mr. Finnegan, wrapped in "his" Duke blanket, on the heated seat. He's napping because it's much too early for him to get up when I take him to school drop off with me. He's kind of a bum.
