Today would've been my dad's 70th birthday and my sister and I took off work to be with my mom, walked into the house to these birthday candles on his cremains along with a book a family friend intended to gift him. Nobody does morbid celebration like my family!

The irony of working for a company that makes a huge post about claiming to be proud to support, service, and employ veterans but they won't close 1 extra day a year for the Veteran's Day holiday lol

Woke up with such a headache today and the coffee my husband made smells like lovely cinnamon buns but tastes awful to me (I generally don't like cinnamon in coffee) which does not help my headache.

Really regret showing up for certain people in my life who can't be bothered to return the favor when it's my turn. I have been going above and beyond for so many years for people and I've really got to stop it because I keep getting hurt when they give me nothing in return.

Absolutely fuming after having the worst time at my MIL'S house where everyone was so self absorbed that nobody even bothered to ask how I was doing after my father fucking died a week ago. I went to 3 separate events for her brother's death last year and this is what I get in return.

Irony not lost in me: My Oma Perez and my father always were against each other, she an immigrant democrat, he a "good ole boy" republican. They constantly fought and he always talked shit about her. They died a week apart in the same month (different years) and will be cemetery neighbors.

If people can believe in a god that sends them signs then I can believe my dying father sent me this full art Altaria Pokémon TCGP card that I opened from a random pack in his hospital room. My dad was the one who gave me my first Pokémon game and gameboy when it came out in the 90's.

Post you from a different era I feel like I know her but sometimes my arms bend back

Literally broke a sweat swapping out my Halloween vs Christmas clothes on my out-of-closet wardrobe rack, that's how many Halloween and Christmas themed clothes I have.

Going through complicated grieving feelings over the loss of your estranged father while your new tattoo is in the itchy peeling stage is an especially exhausting combined overstimulation hell

Summoner #FFXIV

Grief is so exhausting

Thank god this state went blue, they really inadvertently popped off with the "Abagail Spanberger is for they/them" campaign and we said "yes, and?"

My father passed away last night. It feels surreal after years of waiting for this to happen. He had been unwell and suffering for years now and put us all through a lot. He was a difficult man. Having a lot of overwhelming feelings and of course I had a dream about him last night too.

Really wish I could be more stone cold bitch mode about my father dying because he did terrorize me, my sister, and my mom much of his parental/married life but unfortunately I have so much empathy and overloaded emotions that I still keep crying every time I'm left alone!

Me trying to enjoy Halloween plans despite what I have going on personally

Despite having a pretty traumatic day I still managed to slay as Miss Piggy (with Kermit) for Halloween tonight 🐷🐸 Happy Halloween! 🎃👻🦇

Being already at a cemetery when you get the call your dad may be dying this weekend feels like the kind of morbid event that only my spooky scorpio ass will go through.

Bless a local coffee shop open past 5pm ☕️

Truly had one of the best (and spookiest!) birthday weekends of my life this year, so grateful for my husband and the friends who made it so incredible! 🥰💜🎂 And I still have Halloween to look forward to! 🎃🦇👻

Me because its Halloweek and spooky season is almost over.

Just as exhausted as I thought I'd be at the end of Day 5 of 6 straight days of birthday plans! Just gotta lock in for tomorrow night then I can sleep all day Wednesday.

I stayed up till almost 3am, my husband stayed up till 4am, and we've been working on stuff since 9am with 2 hours of food prep/cooking left to go but we might just pull off this vampire themed birthday dinner party 🤞🙏🧛‍♀️🦇

As if just for me they played only the Nicki verse from Monster over another track in the club last night so I didn't have to listen to the whole song 🙌

Went to a Rocky Horror Picture Show themed event tonight and pulled together these Magenta and Riff Raff costumes for my husband and I out of my closet, for not buying anything I think we nailed it fam ✨️

Just saw someone on tiktok call RVA "east coast Portland" because of the amount of alt/queer people that live here and you know what hell yeah.

Had to get 5 vials of blood drawn after fasting at my appointment this morning, you bet your ass I'm getting Bojangles on my way home.

I generally am not fond of bugs but I LOVE those giant orb weaver spiders that make huge webs and I finally got one on the side of my house right outside my work office window. I was so stoked to watch it weave the rest of spooky season and my landlord just pulled it down while cleaning our gutters.

Taking one of my days off next week to go read a book at the cemetery because vibes but also because I'm finishing this goddamn reading challenge if it kills me.

Me pouring my leftover cereal milk into my second cup of coffee this morning: Wow I am an innovator, a chef.

I always get melancholy as it gets closer to Halloween because I hate when spooky season ends, I almost feel like pre-spooky season is better than actual spooky season because what do you mean they are putting out Christmas in stores and it's October 21st?

Planned a whole birthday trip around some of my favorite spots in my college town only to find out that two of the big ones are closed on Mondays. FML

I wish every night was vampire night at the club. 🧛‍♀️🥀⚰️

Just booked our honeymoon flights to Japan and I'm riddled with anxiety about every aspect of planning and paying for this trip hahaha

Now that I got a new phone I tried out Pokémon Sleep and welp fucked up sleep patterns confirmed! 🎉

Putting in a cake order for my birthday cake this year which I want to be a MCR Revenge era x vampire cake and I can't think of a great quote to put on top because their main songs about vampires are on different albums and "Lay Still Like The Dead" seems a bit morbid for a birthday.

We did so much laundry yesterday, all my clothes, all my husband's clothes, all our bath towels, bedding, and my halloween blankets. I also put away a lot of stuff that was just lingering around from our trip the weekend before and reorganized my wardrobe. Feels nice to do a proper Sunday reset.

I’m like if Spirit Halloween stores were a person

Made a to-do list this morning, got everything crossed off, then lit a fall scent candle and put on a spooky movie, who am I? 🍂🎃

My family cancelled on me for our theme park day today because it was supposed to be pouring rain all day and of course the forecast changed and I am bummed about it but at least my husband and I had a chance to catch up on housework and chores after 3 super busy weekends in a row.

A local bar did a Halloween pop up and it's very cute but it's also a sports bar so there are a bajillion screens playing sports ball games and none of the other people in here even appreciate the Halloween of it all.

Local pizza place did a Halloweentown backyard movie night, complete with spooky crafts and themed drink/pizza specials. What a fun chill October night!

My husband and I both ran an errand after work yesterday and we each came home with a treat for each other. I married the right person 🥰🥰🥰

Got my new phone in but trying to activate it has been a fucking nightmare. Somehow deactivated my old phone without activating the new one and have been on hold for customer service for 20 minutes so far. I just want to fucking scream.

I love being at home where I can be ugly in peace

Love when my nightmares switch it up, I thought I was having a "you're back in school and forgot to do a big assignment and it's presentation day" nightmare but it suddenly turned into "a tornado is heading straight for this school" nightmare so I had to hide under my desk for 3 tornados on a row.

We got protein wraps for chicken caesar wraps as a healthy dinner/meal prep this week and it really is like you took a delicious filling and surrounded it with a brown paper bag. And then ate it.

The way crows are screaming outside and acorns are thudding onto my roof right now really feels like I'm living a gothic horror novel, how October.

Kuromi Bone Cleric 💀🎀💜 Oh I absolutely ATE at the Rennfaire this year (3 types of potatoes)
