Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It was interesting this morning when the remodeling crew showed up, first thing they started talking to me about Trump’s LA/SD comments. They don’t know me or my politics, but my race, age & location would lend assumptions, but these guys are UPSET enough to talk about it to a relative stranger 000
Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Why am I surprised that Angela Paxton is doing ads? (for the R ticket, not Ken specifically, but still) 110
Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The house reconstruction has taught me such a difference in how husband & I deal with details. I don’t NEED to know exactly how to mount a sink, I need to know the contractor knows how to mount it 🙃 020
Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 27/09/2026@empowlractual.bsky.social how was the concert? They’re playing Dallas tonight but I can’t make it! 110
Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 24/09/2026So still in house reconstruction phase after flood issue. Today the painter told me he couldn’t take the toll roads to my house anymore bc gas was running him $30 a day so instead of leaving at 8 and being at my house before 9, tomorrow he’s leaving at 7, mapping backroads, & will be here 🤷♀️ 000
Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I’m one of these people; I filed on Texas.gov for change of address in mid Aug, got my new license 2 weeks ago, and my county still has no new info on my voter registration. 001

Reposted by Laura 👻Bryan Edward Stone (שָׁלוֹם) @bestonetx.bsky.social · 15/09/2026If French wins, racism will have fully captured the Texas GOP. They can say what they want now, but Republicans have to repudiate this guy with their votes or it doesn't count. (Aside from all of this, the Democratic candidate in this race, Jon Rosenthal, is vastly better qualified for the job.) 1198
Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 12/09/2026New son in law came to see our new house after downstairs demo after flood. He said “I’m surprised y’all bought a house with stairs at your age” (elder Gen X). I love the kid but he doesn’t have a filter 💀 060

Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I try to avoid most 9/11 coverage for my own mental health; the tears stay close. I’m old enough to see how our lives have all been affected. A dear friend was at the Pentagon in the demolished area. He survived, but he remains haunted. 020

Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 24/08/2026In temp housing, thinking things are moving along, and today I hit the paperwork wall. I thought the GC coordinating the subs would be the long part, NO, the paperwork required from me, the GC, the city, all at different parts of the process, then all then run by the ins co, is the long part 🙄 130
Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Moved to temp housing today, insurance adjuster has us booked for 45 days to start Honestly there are so many worse things happening right now & we’ve got decent insurance & contractors, I’m not even upset, just tired. Onward 120

Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Woke up this morning to a squishy kitchen floor, called plumber, who came & called restoration service, we all called ins co and rumor has it in a few months I’ll have a kitchen. HEPA fans are running, they start demo tomorrow. Feel like I got clotheslined somewhere between the bed & the kitchen 010

Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Okay, got the Texas age verification message on Bsky and it let me pick age range (adult) and then I was in. I’m hearing others in Texas are being asked for definitive personal info to verify age, which would be a deal breaker for me. Idk wtf is going on 041

Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 18/06/2026My husband and I were each holding up a paint chip against the walls for the new house; no matter how we moved around the room, we couldn’t decide between these final two. So we asked adult kid who read the chips & informed us we were each holding the same color 🫠 2102

Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 30/04/2026We’ve found an old cottage for sale that I love, currently live in a newer home but this cottage really scratches an itch for me. House is great, yard is a disaster, think we’ll be sorry if we don’t at least explore the possibilities. Wasn’t really planning on a move right now but 🤷♀️ 120
Laura 👻 @sugarcreek.bsky.social · 02/04/2026MOB advice I wish had occurred to me a week ago: Put your dang phone on Do Not Disturb & check it for messages when you are free; people are hesitant to call the bride with logistical questions so they call the MOB instead.
