Because I'm tired of the things I share disappearing...

Because I'm tired of the things I share disappearing I'm copying and pasting, too:

Wanna know why there’s no media outrage for the white child murdered by that black dude?

Because there was literally no issue with serving him justice. Man was put in jail just like that.

If the man wasn’t put in jail you’d see an outrage.

Let that child Rest In Peace and stop using him to be racist.

#FalseEquivalence

Edit:  For those who just can’t understand anything at all:  I never told you that YOU shouldn’t be angry.

This is why my family is and has been staying to ourselves since March.

This is why my family is and has been staying to ourselves since March. We have been perhaps what you'd call "extremely" cautious, but for us it is absolutely NOT worth the risk. I know a lot of people who say that they have been careful, but have visited friends and family, traveled, eaten out, attended gatherings... That's just not how I define careful.

To be honest, I really don't mind masking and keeping distant. I hate smelling other people's breath and I hate being breathed on (regardless of how good or bad your breath is). Everyone can stay 6 feet away from me forever. 😂😂😂

So, Balthazar just bit through my fingernail.

So, Balthazar just bit through my fingernail. It hurts, a lot, but the popping sound it made when it happened was nauseating. Maybe he agrees on that last bit because he ran and barfed right after.

He's normally a nibbly cat. This time, he chomped. 😳😦 RUDE.

I've been struggling with depression and anxiety the last few days...

I've been struggling with depression and anxiety the last few days... maybe closer to a week and a half by this point.  I've been taking my meds, resting, and just existing through it because there is nothing else to do, really.  I'm grateful that I have medication because without it I'm sure things would be much worse.  Regardless, this sucks and I'm not a fan.

I'm really not enjoying the pandemic.  Some people are just acting like nothing is going on and that drives me crazy.  I know that I'm at the other extreme; when we heard it was coming in March, me, Shaun, and the kids went into hermit mode.  "Better safe than sorry" is the way we feel about it, and while the down-time was nice in some ways, it's also getting pretty lonely for me.  But with case numbers spiking in Alabama right now I just don't feel like it's the time for us to start letting our guard down.

I think I do better when I have something to put my focus on, like school.  I've been trying to study for my CSA, but it's hard to focus or find motivation once I'm already in a slump, so I'm not making a lot of progress and that sucks, too.  My father in law was hospitalized with heart problems over the weekend, so I'm sad and stressed about that.  I'm sure he's safer at the hospital as far as his heart condition goes, but I worry about him catching COVID there.

It's just a bad time.  I know it is for a lot of us.  I really hope things ease up soon.

I don't have the 'Rona.


Tfw you've just woken up and...

Tfw you've just woken up and your husbang is like "Your roaches escaped." and you're like "What? No! How?!" and he blamed the cats but really me by saying that I left the container in the floor and then I go to the shelf where I left my roaches and they are where they are supposed to be, just chilling, so then I make them breakfast.

That is FAR too much range of emotion for me first thing after I wake up. 😬😳😒

Student loans won't cover just one class...

Student loans won't cover just one class (I have to go at least half-time for that) and we can't pay out of pocket right now.  So... I signed up for another class - Intro to Spanish!  😁  I'm pretty excited about that.  Shaun has been asking me to learn Spanish with him and Kira wants to know it, as well, so I think it'll be really fun and hopefully pretty helpful.  I am so excited for this semester!
