Today is Shaun's birthday. I always feel so grateful for this day because I'm so glad he exists. My life changed for the better the moment he reached out to me. I don't know where I would be without him but I'm 100% sure my life wouldn't be this good.

Today was pretty chill; the only celebratory thing we did was get takeout from Outback (his favorite restaurant). He got cheesecake for dessert and then kind of laughed while he was eating it. He said "You remember that time you got me a whole cheesecake for my birthday?" Of course I remember. I bought it from a restaurant and it was like $30 and huge and it was slices of different flavors so he could have everything he liked. That might have been his first birthday that we were together, or maybe the one before that that let him know I liked him. 😂😂😂

Anyway, chill days are good. Things are good. We're doing well and even though we're all over the place at the moment it will be just fine because we're an excellent team and we're getting shit done.

❤️❤️❤️

Alabama is showing all the way out with...

Alabama is showing all the way out with its li'l net of TWO whole ICU beds in the state. Everyone try not to get hurt, I guess, because the hospitals are already beyond overwhelmed. COVID has been in my hometown, but Delta is showing no mercy right now due to school starting back without mask mandates and the low numbers of people choosing to be vaccinated.

I don't know what to say except that me and Shaun are working as fast and hard as we can to get our kids out of Alabama and we're just gonna have to leave the rest of y'all to lie in the bed you've made. I'm not saying that I'm not sad about it or that some innocent people aren't being affected and suffering, but damn. I'm also not gonna act like we're not privileged to have this option (especially right now). Believe me, we are grateful. But logic dictates that we go, so... we're going. We're already halfway gone.

Try to stay safe, y'all.
