Got fired for the first time in my life today. Admittedly the job was not a good fit, but sheesh. I was trying.

I've been really struggling to do anything creative lately, but I had an idea to fix a timeline issue with my current #wip today. It was encouraging. Every time my writer brain goes silent, I fear it's permanent, so it's always a relief when it eventually trickles back to me. #amwriting

I love that we're all doing a shopping blackout today. I hope we carry the energy further. I'm going to aim for a week to start. I'm not buying anything except the absolute necessities. Make the rich bastards hurt.

The world is a shit show but I woke up cozy in fresh clean sheets with three snuggly kitties curled up beside me. That's not so bad.

Hoping I'm able to do more this weekend than just sleep. I wish the chronic and mental illness life hadn't chosen me, but here we are. Even if I can just do just a tiny bit of reading or writing on my current wip, I'll be happy.

My federal tax return is less than half what it was last year. Last year it was about 1/3 less than the year before. That's shitler's tax plan. I wonder how many raging magats we'll see when they file and find out they're getting less too. Of course they'll blame Biden, but they're stupid so...

You know what really sucks about capitalism? I really enjoyed being a grocery store cashier when I was younger. I knew what to expect, I was good at it, and I could go home and not stress about work. But it doesn't pay enough to survive so I had to get a "real job" that sucks the life out of me.

Call me crazy, but I think forehead kisses and a soft gentle hand cupping the face of your love are way more intimate and more romantic than make outs and sex scenes in books. But then again, I'm asexual, so it might just be me. 😆 #amwriting

New rule: If someone complains about the economy or politicians, ask who they voted for. If the answer is Trump, just say, ‘You’re getting what you voted for.’ Accountability matters. Choices have consequences. Are you not willing to sacrifice for your Lord and savior your Trump?

There are only 2 people from whose lips I've ever enjoyed hearing my legal name. The 1st is my boyfriend who before he died, he would call me "his Genevieve". The 2nd is Julie Andrews singing The Simple Joys of Maidenhood from Camelot. Everyone's name probably sounds better sung by Julie Andrews.

Woke up with a new story idea for a vampire romance. Jotted down some notes. Might take a crack at a first chapter. I guess it'll just go on the pile with the others until I can get around to it. #amwriting

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I'm still angry that Biden & Kamala just ceded power without questioning it. The peaceful transfer of power to a known fascist that IS NOT A BRAGGING POINT! It is a moral failure in the name of upholding societal norms which are absolutely meaningless in the face of such a threat to our lives.

Rewatching Bridgerton season 3 today. First time around, Penelope revealing herself as Whistledown felt too forced. But in the 2nd time through, I realized the whole season was about Pen finding her voice, so it fit that she'd be the one to speak up, instead of letting Colin do so like in the books.

A bit worried over the fact that I'm so stressed that I'm not eating, to the point that I'm losing weight. I'm normally a stress eater but I'm *so* stressed that my stomach hurts and I don't even want to think about food. I don't like this. I feel like I'm gonna black out from stress.

Well, it's Sunday night, and I just wrapped up the first draft of my business contract. Yesterday, I wrote about 4k words in my current #wip. I may still have a chance to cross a few other items of this list, but two isn't bad.

I hear a lot of murmurs from the #readingcommunity and especially those who read #romance that we really need more stories about folks falling in love beyond their twenties. I agree. I've got several stories in progress but my current project is a why chose romance about a 35 yo late bloomer

My day started at 6:30am, two hours earlier than my norm because this guy got himself stuck in a closet, peed, then laid in the puddle for some reason. Unexpected cat bath was not how I wanted to start my day but here we are. #cats #gingermenace #Banjo

I managed to eat two servings of fruit, some green matter, and some beans for fiber. Which, compared to the steady stream of chicken nuggies that was my diet the last two-ish weeks, feels pretty good. #adulting

Can't tell if depression, burnout, or some abysmal combo of both but I'm barely functioning these days. I know it'll pass, it always does, but I miss being able to write. I miss being able to cook for myself. I miss feeling capable and functional.
