Totally crying too now.

Beautiful golden up to her chest in snow. With bits on her mouth from snacking on it.

Lulu!

Yes that is very true. I guess they’re hungry too!

That money should go to food. Every classroom should have a smorgasbord for students to fix themselves a little plate (crudité and what-not) and then get to work being loved and supported by the teachers so they can learn.

I have so much self-loathing because of this. So many decades of therapy trying to not be this way.

Well I once left a dry erase marker in the oven! I think I broke the oven.

I’m also curious about that. And oddly I was just listening to some 80’s-90’s Indigo Girls and some of their lyrics are so spot on with what’s going on now. Indigo Girls! You have to really pay attention to the lyrics bc the music doesn’t sound angry.

So… this hits (positively) on so many levels. My son wasn’t identified as having autism until he was 14.5. And all through his childhood my loved ones were very judgmental of me for not “forcing” him to do normal things. They see how well-adjusted and happy he is now and admit to me that I did well!

Now that makes sense.

Wait, but did you see all the new old-timey looking street lamps running down Witherspoon street? They’re really bright! I’m wondering if they’ll be taking down the standard, taller streetlights. It’s a bit much with both. Or are the new ones temporary?

Actually it’s “The Wegmanses” if you ask me.

OMG you just HAVE to read Margo’s Got Money Troubles. I’m really freaked out because it’s like you’re Margo but in real life!

She’s got eyes
of the Blue Ridge skies
and
if they
thought of rain…

I was thinking he was acting like an old lady (with dementia?) in a nursing home who finally had a visitor.

Have you read the book Margo’s Got Money Troubles? If not, get it right now. Just for the OF references. Anyway, you’re amazing and I’m rooting for you!

This. Grieving for myself and so proud of myself for where I’ve gotten and now I can support younger people going through it.

This is why I read novels. Especially historical fiction.

Lindsey Graham is hell bent on keeping the government closed. God forbid we get some folks their food stamps & affordable healthcare & on-time flights this holiday season.

Left.

Yeah that doesn’t make sense to me. It’s definitely more packed. Are people not paying?

That can’t be true, really?

Also, don't count on airline travel for Thanksgiving 🦃

Oh nice! So Monday 11/10 at the Ivy? I have lived here for ten+ years and still never been to the Ivy. Probably for that exact reason (kids).

Thank you, Chicago.

Yes. I’ve been thinking of The Banality of Evil. This too.

What if we tell the president he’ll get the Nobel Peace Prize if he gives Americans universal healthcare?

I used to wonder and then I read The Midnight Library. Now I’m completely at peace with where I am.

There are loved ones in my life who are unhappy due to others’ lack of gratitude. I am so literal/rational I just can’t see why someone’s happiness would depend on another person’s gratitude toward them!
