My beautiful mama died 9 years ago today. Love you forever, Mama. Thank you for the great sense of humor and the ability to find the funny in every situation. @fourwholemoons.bsky.social owes that all to you.

I thought I'd be much more successful at being loving and loved. But I was wrong.

From about 5 years ago, with my two older granddaughters. I love them.

I forgot to save the first donation of 270.09 (plus costs) to celebrate the absolute dorks of Michigan not being able to break into double digits against the Buckeyes. This donation was to celebrate Muchigan allowing Texas to hang 41 on their sorry selves. Pathetic. I hate Bichigan so much.

@risquips.bsky.social Dn’t know if you saw that. Not that it isn’t heartbreaking regardless, but this just adds another layer.

A few days before he died (10 years tomorrow), my dad said, "Forgive me." And at my mother's funeral (her birthday and name day are today, and she died 8 years ago next month), my oldest son chanted her service. Maybe I have lived my best possible life.

In not-news, the view from Grandfather Mountain is beautiful.
The view is of beautiful mountains in North Carolina.

Sorry for the awkwardness of the selfie (i don't know how to phone tech correctly despite how easy it is), but I do think of you often.

I’m nothing but low to middle class, mostly because I hate and I mean hate shellfish and raw fish. Not sorry. No one would ever mistake me for anything but low rent with a good vocabulary.

I MAY BE A LITTLE BIT PETTY. GO BUCKEYES!!
Yet another donation to New American Pathways. Because Iowa is a loser program. I mean, Iowa is a smaller school in a desolate waste of a state.

I made happy donations to @newap-georgia.bsky.social for the scores of the playoff games, and then the last one. GO BUCKEYES!
A confirmation of a donation to New American Pathways in the amount of  $340.23 (yes, I added fees at the end) to CELEBRATE THE BUCKEYES WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!

@newap-georgia.bsky.social In all sincerity, thank you for what you do. God bless you and keep you all safe. I made three happy ones for the amounts of the playoff games and then this last one for the CHAMPIONSHIP!

@newap-georgia.bsky.social Another hurtful one for The Ohio State University. Because they break my heart every damn year.

@newap-georgia.bsky.social I will be making more donations, promise, but had to get this awful one done first. BUCKEYES, BRING YOUR MONEY! NOOWWWWWWW!!!

St. Basil the Great in word and deed. I am convicted by my own knowledge and inaction. Lord have mercy.
Quote by St. Basil the Great, in part: When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor.

He was dreaming and sank his claws into my leg. Ouch. Otherwise, having my own personal mini-panther remains awesome.

Okay, a tiny thing that matters to no one else: I live in a small condo that was not in good shape when I bought it about 15 months ago. In the middle of the floor of the main room, there's an air vent. Floor! Can't move it without lots of money I don't have and it is not pretty. So, I painted it.

@hollyanderson.bsky.social I added up the scores from the last time I was a happy Buckeye lover (the last four games of the 2014 season -- the wins against Michigan, Wisconsin, Alabama, and Oregon, oh those were glorious moments!!!), plus processing. It was nice remembering better times. 🙃
