I've mentioned this before but it bears repeating. Don't leave FSA funds on the table at the end of the year. LOTS of places like homeless shelters etc... would love donations of FSA eligible items. For the past 2 years, I've used left over funds to shop here: fsastore.com - then donate the items.

After being forced to "upgrade" to Win 11, I find @microsoft.com Dragon Naturally Speaking won't work unless I upgrade to 16 for $700. Without Dragon, it took me 15 min. to type this. So, I have no choice. God bless disability tax. Beware, fellow disabled peeps.

Today I threatened the American way of life by getting the spider donut from Dunks. Is it just a donut hole on top of a donut? Yes. Does it still delight me endlessly? Also yes

Tonight’s traditional post-market ice cream and cat time is non-traditional. I’m skipping the ice cream but I am forcing cat time and he is… accepting? I can confidently say he is not leaving and I’ll take that

Today was slow but both my table
neighbors were delightful so we had group chat and knitting between customers. As I said to them before I left, A+ would chat and craft with again

Pu(mpkin)zie @punzie.bsky.social · 1d

I adore my table neighbor and her bags. I’m excited I get to sit near them again and look at all the pretties

I somehow got onto cruise (as in the ships) Tok, and learned about Viking cruises.

They don't have casinos, they have libraries and reading nooks. And lecturers. And every excursion is to some place of historical or natural significance and you are taught things.

This. Sounds. AMAZING.

you have a right to be angry

Drawing of Little My, a small girl in a red dress, sliding down a hill. She is drawn by Tove Jansson from the Moomin series. The text reads: "WHEN you're angry, then you're angry," thought Little My, peeling her potato with her teeth. "Sometimes you have to be angry. Every little creature has the right to get angry."
