I haven’t drawn in months, so I decided to make a simple Rapunzel drawing. #blusky.art #artsky

Procreate drawing of Rapunzel and Pascal in pastel colors.

I had to explain to my mom that Elon isn’t the VP. But she assures me that what’s he’s doing is perfectly legal because every president, esp. Obama, has done the exact same thing according to her local news station. Mind you this news station had an anchor that couldn’t do basic math 🙃

Went to work today despite feeling like poop. I had an important meeting I couldn’t miss because it was all about my students’ futures. I’m very happy with how it went. Now one more meeting tomorrow and then I can take off if I’m still sick 😅

My cough hasn’t gone away. Spent most of last night coughing instead of sleeping. But, I need to go into work because we have an important meeting this morning. So, here’s to being miserable 🥂

Why do Xtians feel compelled to adorn themselves in crosses and carry devotionals everywhere they go?

Could you imagine if I were to wear an inverted pentagram or baphomet to work 🫣

Though I do have an urn I sometimes wear with “hail thyself” engraved on it but I never wear it to work.

I do the same thing, but will sometimes end it with “the ever living” 🤣

Channeled some of my energy into decluttering. I now have a tidy printing station in the corner instead of the chaos it previously was 🤣

We’re getting an Aldi in August

My kid has been saving her allowance for months now. She decided that she wanted to buy Ooblets with her own money today. It’s so cute watching her bounce around the house being so proud of herself for buying something she wanted with her own money.

Instant isn’t in my area and the closest Costco is an hour away. Looks like I’ll have to take a legit trip to shop there.

I used to live near a Costco a long time ago. I loved it. I’ve just looked it up and the closest to me now is an hour away 😭

I’m spending my Sunday doing laundry and purging my subscription accounts. I’m also going to figure out where the closest Costco is and if they deliver to me.

I’ve been boycotting Hobby Lobby since Covid. But my local Chick-fil-a supports our schools. It donates profits to our clubs and sports programs. I continue to go there to support the kids.

I can’t boycott Walmart it’s the only store we have in my town 🫣

He still thinks Trump is a “hero” who will save America… It’s sad because he used to be such a well informed, good natured man

My maga dad’s favorite part of Star Trek is the Ferengi… it wasn’t always like this, his age is really affecting his mind

Didn’t realize people thought it stood for ally. Allies, while loved, are not part of the community 🤷🏻‍♀️

I might be catastrophising our situation, but there’s no harm in over-preparing

That and as a single woman, I fear that my local bank will start requiring a man on my account. My credit union respects me, I’ve been banking with them for well over 10 yrs. I only have an account at my local bank bc the closest branch of my credit union is an hour away.

I did the paperwork to move my direct deposit to a credit union. My local bank kept allowing my account to overdraw on purchases I could not have made because they refuse to give me a new debit card. It’s been a frustrating battle. In Jan, they overdrew me by over $600. My credit union would never.

Ok. I’m officially sick and not lazy. As the day has progressed, I’ve developed a cough, congestion, and a stuffy but still somehow runny nose. This is in addition to the bone deep exhaustion and body aches…

Thank you and I hope you can relax and feel better, as well.

I took today off of work because I was feeling off. Almost like I have absolutely not energy and my bones ache. I’m spending the day curled up on the couch playing Dreamlight Valley and am finding it very difficult to focus. I’m deeply tired and I don’t know why 🙃 Maybe sick? Maybe lazy?

I’m going to take a social media break. I’m just so overwhelmed by everything that is happening. I need to ignore things for a minute.
