I don't know wtf I was dreaming about, but just before I woke up, we headed into Mooby's for an egga Mooby muffin. Somehow I dreamed myself into a Kevin Smith movie and I need to figure out how to do it again.

It's finally that time of year when I can listen to The #Nutcracker Suite and not feel weird about it.

We were meant to dream,
Use our imagination,
Not blindly accept.

on this Thanksgiving
i'm thankful for
these mango edibles
that make me forget
the faraway family
that gathered together again
without inviting me
again
it's not the desire
to physically be there
that's meaningful
it's being invited
to be part of the family
not just a girl
who shares your name

Well crap. I just learned that Stranger Things 5 is out, so I guess I have to watch that today instead of ghost movies. But only the first half of the season is out. I hate when they do that. At least I don't have to deal with my family, I'm thankful for that!

in my dreams
I have more friends,
more family,
more love
than when
I am awake
yet I can't sleep
all the time

You don't need to spend the holidays with the family you grew up with.

Don't spend what are supposed to be celebrations with people who make you feel like crap, even if it means being alone. (Narrator: you are never alone.)

Choose your own family. Start new traditions. Make the holidays your own.

That was a whole bunch of gunshots way too close to my house. I hate it.

Why don't you ever see zombies die from dehydration? How do their body tissues stay (at least somewhat) properly formed and working without being hydrated when if I don't drink enough water, my body freaks out and I feel like I'm dying?

the photo editor app
meant to make me look
a little prettier,
a little younger
made me see instead
just how many
wrinkles
(skin crevasses)
have taken up residence
on my face and
how old
I've actually grown

Mom said to
ask forgiveness and
not permission,
she thought
as she dragged
her little finger
through the
thick frosting,
shoved the blob
of sweetness
in her waiting mouth,
and ran
with a giggle

What's so special
about pie?
It's just warm fruit
swaddled in a
flaky
buttery
mouth-watering crust.
There are better desserts.
It's not chocolate
after all.

This is true, but doesn't go far enough. Humility does not create change. We need to fight for a different life that does not rely on good or bad luck.

I'm going to start putting candy in my pillbox with my meds. Maybe the occasional edible. I don't live with kids, let me have my mid-life fun, Heather.

I'll learn medical coding!
Oh, no one will hire without 3+ yrs exp, & AI is going to take over.

Maybe editing or content writing? I've done it before.
Oh, no one will hire without more exp. Also, AI.

I'm learning things anyways. The world will need people when the AI leopard eats its own face.
