Found a book by chance. A dystopian space drama regarding creative ai use and corporate censorship. Turned out to also have significant trans and queer representation. Checked out via the Libby (hey!) app from my local library. Ignore All Previous Instructions by Ada Hoffman

Election Day is August 4th, but I’m not sure where I’ll be that day. It’s a primary now but the sneaky red state legislature snuck in a constitutional amendment about electing judges. They are trying hard to reverse the amendment a few years ago legalizing abortion. I did my part today to vote no

Coming to you live from Hell’s half acre, apparently. I don’t like this at all.

Haven’t had any me time basically since the day after I let my friend. Over 2 weeks now. And today I only get a brief moment. Gotta be at work in an hour. So, here is me. No makeup. Just a wash and air dry of my hair. It’s kinda wild when I don’t do anything with it. Gotta go get ready for work now

Made cheeseburgers and star shaped tater tots for lunch today. Everyone got theirs the way they want it.

At the Hallmark mothership. Please convince me I don’t need any of these, most specifically the Cerritos.

Best STAR TREK captain. Wrong answers only.

Just a little over 2 hours now. I’m Cinderella and it’s almost midnight. 😥

Said breakfast. Eggs over easy, sausage links, tater tots because I’m out of hash browns, grilled tomatoes and some sourdough toast. This is so good!

The last day to be me for a while. Just woke up. Making breakfast. Yes, I’m still wearing the same tank top from yesterday. This weekend was great. I haven’t crashed yet. The family will be home about 6 so it’s inevitable.

We walked out together and hugged goodbye. I insisted on a picture before we left. I can’t believe how great a day this has been.

Walking around downtown sweating my tits off waiting to meet my friend. We are going to meet at Free State Brewery. I’ve been there once. It’s good food. Scared and excited to see her! Lots of cool stores and lots of show of pride support. Bought some stickers and the new Galaxy graphic novel.

Went to the Farmer Market in LFK. A lot of local vendors selling everything from fresh flowers to vegetables to honey to crafts to cinnamon rolls to brisket sandwiches and fresh wine. I got weak and bought some banana bread, a cinnamon roll and a peanut butter bar.

Today Im going to meet someone I went to HS with as the true me. We weren’t really friends in school. She was kids popular. She knows about me as she is one of the handful of people I came out to but lost contact with when I deleted FB. I thought way too long on what to wear. This is what Ive chosen

I made a thing! Ordered some specific Lego pieces and put together some Lego pride earrings. Already have several pairs I’m going to gift to my friends. Maybe I should sell them on Etsy? Will have to add some more of the other color patterns for the rest of the Alphabet Mafia.

Then headed towards home stopping for BBQ for dinner. Had BBQ mac and cheese! Then I went to a showing of Supergirl. I thought it was pretty good! Lastly, I reached out to someone I went to HS with who I came out to in the beginning. But I haven’t talked to her since o deleted FB.

So, I wasn’t gonna let last night get me down. I headed to KC and went to a resale Lego store. So many cool sets they had. New and old. I didn’t buy anything. Headed over to Oak Park Mall and went to Torrid, Lane Bryant and the actual Lego store. Spent way too much at Torrid.

Well regardless of my emotional state, I have to keep going. I don’t want to waste my 2 days to be me. I’ve already been out on a grocery run. Breakfast was made and eaten. Electrolysis in about 30 minutes. Then off to Kansas City for at least some window shopping. Books, clothing and Lego.

Lunch. Meatball subs and French fries. Turned out really well.

Oldest wanted chicken. Youngest wanted spaghetti. So I made both! Grilled chicken parm with spaghetti and a bread stick. Everyone seemed really happy.

Everyone’s in bed. I probably should be too. But I’ve got too much crap on my mind. Gonna watch a movie. Maybe fall asleep while watching it. Tonight’s movie? Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die

Made dinner for the fam. Cheeseburgers and cheese fries. Got a bit fancy with the presentation too. Everyone really loved them. The oldest even asked if she could have another half a burger!

The Job. Another short lived show. Before Denis Leary went on to star on Rescue Me which ran much longer. Pretty sure I have this dvd too.

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. Sports Night. Ran for 2 seasons in the late 90’s. I have this DVD somewhere, too.

Wtf did I just watch?

Peace among worlds!

Forgot I also got a new hat! Who’s a cutie patootie?

I’ve been having a tough time lately. Too much to really do it justice here. But needless to say, I’ve needed something good. Ran something over to my mom’s today and she told me that she really liked my dress! Shes never done that and even one time mentioned I looked pregnant.

In a severe thunderstorm warning now. And yes, that’s a tornado warning just south of us.
