I love that MD emails me to let me know my ballot has been sent to me! Got my email this morning, so now just need to watch the mail for the next few days.

I got to rec @peculiarityshop.bsky.social twice this weekend at Renn Fest: once to someone who stopped me to admire the earrings, and also to stepkid who is a pretty-rocks-enjoyer! @shivaniswriting.bsky.social , @peculiarityshop.bsky.social

"Never Forget." Yes, the woman who was born on Nov 10 to ensure we would never forget her birthday more than a day, made sure she died on an equally notable day so we can't forget that either. 😂 One year today. Miss you, Mom.

As a report writer, frequent convo: "I need a report of X" Cool, I can do that. What are you using it for? "To demonstrate Y." And who are you showing it to? "Audience A." You're asking for X, but I think what you really need is Z, for these reasons. The good bosses would generally 1/2

I'm not adhd (officially) and if I am, it's relatively inoffensive usually. But. The executive function peaks and valleys have become sharper in the past few years and my lists aren't as helpful. At least today has been a good day for flinging off follow-ups to a bunch of places. *sigh*

My own corner of the world is quirky for reasons, to preface. I'm a spreadsheet person (report writer, until recently) & non-spreadsheet people have decided that llms mean they don't need spreadsheet people, cause they do it themselves (even if wrong), & thus are making it difficult to find a job.

I'm most of the way through Mrs Davis & i still don't know WTF, but in the best way. It's the same kind of bonkers as the Tudor Horse Man Show, so much that I had to search @mostlybree.kitrocha.com timeline to make sure i hadn't seen it mentioned there. It's Peacock and you must go in blind. WTF 😂

Yaaaay! My skellies are adorable (pirate weekend at Renn fest ahoy!) and pics really, really do not do justice to these opals. Thanks @peculiarityshop.bsky.social !
Two pairs of earrings against background of packing paper and stickers: one is a pair of silvery skulls offset by a purple border, the other a pair of teardrop Aurora opals with amazing shimmer

Spreadsheets are self-soothing for me (yeah, i know). Dealing with estate stuff means my current project is a spreadsheet of my life to make things easier for my kids some day. This is how i cope with the ongoing clutter of all her stuff everywhere in my house, & in hers yet to go. I'm a weirdo 😂

New washer & fridge coming tomorrow, camping stuff still not put away cause so much was wet & yard only so big to dry. Clutter distress is in overdrive, everything is dirty, much to do but knees are unhappy so nap with drugs & cheese, then compression & back to work. I'll have time to hurt Tuesday.

Over 50, hbp creeping up slowly, knee for the last week has been swollen & cranky (tendinitis after hiking several miles), 1 benign polyp couple years ago, & this morning having my "preventive" chest CT (smoked 20+ years). Reasonably confident to not expect good news out of this. Aging is annoying

so i wrote a new song. it's very short, it's a bit shouty. i'm shouting my lungs out. i'm screaming. people have asked for it since my friends and i sang it at Alaska Folk Fest, so here's a demo. i'm releasing this song into the public domain. it's for anyone. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jw08y...
Photo of Marian Call, Cate Ross, and Kelsey Riker singing the song 'Neighbor' at the Alaska Folk Fest.Screenshot of lyrics for the song linked above, titled 'Neighbor' by Marian Call. Lyrics read:

i was raised to love my neighbor
now i'm grown, now i'm grown
looks like everyone's my neighbor
i should have known, should have known
all those stories that they told me
as a child said it plain:
we're each other's and i'm standin here to say

	i know that's my neighbor, don't you hurt my neighbor
	you can't take my neighbor, they belong right here

	no sir, that's my neighbor, don't you hurt my neighbor
	you can't take my neighbor, they belong right here

				god asked cain where abel was
				he said am i my brother's keeper
				am i my brother's keeper
				am i my brother's keeper

				god asked cain where abel was
				he said am i my brother's keeper
				if we don't keep our neighbors who are we?

i was raised to love my neighbor
close to home, close to home
but home is everywhere for someone
i should have known, should have known
all those stories that they told me
as a child said it plain:
we're all each other's and i'm standin here to say...

These came last night but i needed to take this awkward picture in sunlight to capture the light through these fantastic stones! Ahhh! cc @peculiarityshop.bsky.social
Close up shot of a white woman's ear with the light coming through the ridiculous number of gorgeous amethysts in a long, dangling earring. Also an emerald hoop in the second hole, because everyone knows it's required by law to wear an emerald at all times, if you're a May baby.

I loved my mother. But sorting through her stuff to try to get the value out of it is a trial. But I'm trying to figure something out, despite the appraiser telling me that trying to sell loose stones is a losing battle, even if i have the receipts. I'm trying, Mom.
Three of four trays of cut gemstones in tiny boxes. I'll be matching as many as possible to a stack of receipts, then hoping for a buyer(s).

My shiny new bosch dishwasher is really nice! My home stress level has dropped so much by not having to constantly wash dishes or see stuff in the sink that needs washed. Unfortunately, there's an app with 1 useful feature in: rinse aid level. So now i have an IoT network to keep it isolated.
The meme about the only piece of tech in my house is a printer and i keep a gun next to it so i can shoot it if it makes a noise i don't recognize.

Oh boy. Turns out getting rear-ended means I'm getting totaled. First vehicle I got solely because i loved it, without worrying about practicality or cost (much). Lasted three years. And being upset about it seems very shallow, seeing it written down.
