On this eve of fifty Novembers
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.

My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.

I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.

My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.

I'm visiting Chicago from Mpls RN. Glad b/c it means I get snow (it isn't snowing at home). Sorry for you, hoping for all the possible for me! (As long as the train is still running tomorrow so I can get home!)

It does get a bit better after diagnosis... assuming you've got a good Dr. & know you are SURE you aren't going mad (or that could have just been me feom all the medical gaslighting....)

Of course they are mostly in places that vote Blue - b/c that is where people live and want to go. AND where the economies actual work.

My skin doc recently told me everyone in N America needs to be taking Vit D year round, but definitely October thru May for where I live (MN). Thank goodness for Vit D gummies!

MN has had free lunches for all in public schools for a few years now. The differences were seen immediately on the impact to all the kids, anecdotally, and in test scores soon after.

It should be that way for every state, if they all *really* want to protect kids

Oh. Now I wish I had planned a trip to London this month. David Harewood is sublime.

As a Scorpio, I am surprised to see anyone "liking" us. We know we aren't easy.... but stay on our good side and its a fun ride! ❀️

Was looking forward to the extra sleep.... woke up like it was a weekday before the time change. So still 3 hours until the sun comes up.

Driving with my PaPa in his old white Ford truck to the diner in town, having a root beer float sitting at the counter seats, while listening to the old men talk.

Didn't happen after I was 7 b/c Papa's MS hit hard & he was wheelchair bound for next 20 years.

Oh yeah, her birth country (🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) has very publicly (not officially) disowned her.

I called the store multiple times: no answer. Filled out customer service form next. I just got an email saying "we are sorry you were unsatisfied, please come back soon."

If you are going to keep giving me free food, I will.

I use the #McDonald's app. Love the ease (& free food/discounts). 2 weeks ago I picked up my food while on road trip, then got an email saying they canceled my order and would refund my $$. Which they did! So, I am trying to get ahold of them to pay what I actually owe..

I've a co-worker who's name could be pronounced at least 4 ways i can think off: he won't tell me how HE wants it pronounced & I hate that. He answers to all 4 pronunciations of his name.

Everyone deserves to have their name said CORRECTLY.

And the humidity from your breath.... I don't miss them (not that my parents frequently let us use these for Halloween, it was more "create a costume out of what you have" 'cuze $$)

My sister has joined a sect of Christianity that doesn't eat pork (her fav meat previously) & honestly I really enjoy eating bacon in front of her.

"Able to add...." he didn't even get the permits needed, just went ahead with the destruction. And none of us are surprised.
