Whew a military honors ceremony will eff you up in the feels, lemme tell you!

I’m not much of a gambler (unless you count gacha games). My dad gave me some “fun money” if I wanted to gamble. I got Sbux & was like, screw it, I have some time before we leave for the memorial service. Found a cute little baby tiger game. Put in $20. Played about $10, won $90. Cashed tf out.

I had to have the awkward conversation with my family about why I didn’t want to eat ANYTHING on the Italian menu. 😬 #hestiahglp1

I need to stop reading pet loss reddit posts because I am inconsolable about a stranger’s dog.

There is nothing sadder than going through the belongings of someone who has passed. Seeing everything they held onto and realizing that it means nothing to no one but them. And now they’re gone so it’s trash. Memories, photos, year books, plaques, etc.

Whoa nelly the casino part of the hotel is so overstimulating! Just blinking and flashing lights everywhere. I don’t normally get sick because of that but this is A. LOT. Also you can smoke indoors and there’s a cigarette machine and I haven’t seen one of those since I was a child.

That moment when you’re just casually scrolling reddit for puppy photos and crafting and it randomly shows you a screencap of @roxiqt.com from ye old twatter days. Lol.

I’m really tempted to just wander downstairs in my pjs to the Sbucks in the casino area. Especially cause I’m up 2.5 hours earlier than I should be.

I haven’t driven from Sacramento to Vegas before and let me tell you, that is a LONG drive. 543 miles? 534 miles?! 500-something miles.

My punishment for being a mega-grump is to get a mfing Toyota for my rental car.

I need ti go pick up my meds before they put it back into stock, but I don’t want to go over there. Ugh.

I made sure to drink the whole Liquid IV bottle before yoga today because I didn’t last week and regretted it (during the hot yoga class).

Did the yogas again today. Trying to get a few in because I won’t be in town a lot next week.

Whenever I get an email for the rich white man version of my name I let the person who sent the email know they have the wrong version. I genuinely wish I could see their face when they read my reply. Hahaha!!

I did the yogas. I did a hot yogas. It was so hard & I probably had to sit for half of it so I wouldn’t turn it into a comedy of errors where everyone is doing some balance pose and I fall over knocking over the person next to me around the room. Lol. But I did the class & lived. I’ll die tomorrow.

Welp, I guess I’m gonna get my crying out before yoga today.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

For a split second I thought they mean literally everything on my wishlist… not a game called Everything. Lol.

Defund is the moderate option. Mass prosecution and imprisonment for crimes against humanity is the mid-hard option. Tumbrels is the extreme option. Time to recalibrate the Overton window back towards an equator instead of having it pulled all the way into the Roaring 40s and Freezing Fifties.

Absolutely. We have to fight these monsters with every lever of power we can reach.

I’m glad I have yoga later cause phew.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

Watch this or don’t. But this is an excellent analysis of two different videos that captured the incident. It pisses me off more to know that no one was in danger. The whole thing is fucking dumb and I’m pissed. Just unbelievable.

I really just want to rant about something but feel like I can’t. Which makes the need to rant feel worse.

I should have stayed off social today.

I did /most/ of yoga today. There was a lot I just couldn’t do. So I worked myself up into a fit because I was upset at myself for being so inflexible and being unable to do even modified versions of stretches because it was hurting. So what do I do? I start to silently cry to myself while I sit.

I’m tempted to go to yoga again (for a different style class than yesterdays). But also do I want to go again yet…? Maybe.

They’re doing “reply all” bs again and I swear, these people shouldn’t be allowed to even HAVE the button.

I’m out in the middle of no where and I’m pretty sure this woman took a picture of me and my car cause, what, I’m here to steal stuff?? There’s no curbs, no sidewalks. No where to park for 5 minutes to pass time. Why the fuck are taking a photo of me you paycho??!!?!?

I did the yoga tonight. I feel like noodles.

I love my stationery friends. But they are so effing awful at being mindful of other people’s time. 1pm becomes 2pm becomes 3pm because they can’t gauge time at all and don’t communicate this. It makes me not want to go out with them. I know, First World Problems given everything else, but ugh.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

You know what the worst part of all of this is?? 2025 felt like a LIFETIME. And this is the start of only the second year. The thought that things could actually get worse year over year is not lost on me.

Just really fucking angry at how unnecessary this all is and the pathetic cowards who let it happen. Do your constitutionally mandated job and put him in jail before he does it to you first.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

“More than Words” played on this episode of The Mentalist and man, I loved that song! Still do, really, but what a blast from the past! youtu.be/UrIiLvg58SY

Jack is our Smotherer. He looooooves to cover your face with his face and neck so you can’t breathe. He’s cute though.

I don't push this often, but I'm hoping for some backers to make me follow through on this in 2026. ko-fi.com/tonytroxell/... See, the Troxell's Trading Post money goes completely towards operating costs, and paying down credit card debt. All of my building comes out of my own money.

I did some journaling and planner-ing. Now it’s time for some video gameing. Probably more Megabonk because that game is crack.

Happy New Year from CA! 🎉🥳🎊

I bought the 40-day intro package at this yoga studio. The not-hot yoga classes are in the evening which is perfect. I can go up to 3 days/week because that’s all the classes they have a week. Technically I can go an unlimited amount. But 2/wk is $14/class.

Heeeeey it’s raining! Maybe we won’t have a firework problem this year!

I’m in this discord group which I love. And they just created a “deinfluencing” channel for those of us who want to partake in a more no-buy/low-buy years. Someone comes along & dumps a ton of photos of journal spreads. Dude, there’s a sharing channel for exactly that. But okay booboo.

My work phone forced the ios 26 update on my and I wanted to turn off the “glassy” look of everything and apparently if you turn on “reduce transparency” it makes your keyboard blank. What a piece of shit.

I finished book 8 last night (my 2025 goal was 8) and I can’t get the gd kindle app/kindle to update and show i finished the damn book. It’s a stupid idiotic thing but I never hit my reading goal ever and I totally did this year and let me have my stupid little badge mfer!

when "differing point of views" is literally about whether or not a group of folks deserve to live or die. well.

FAVORITES OF 2025 Movie: KPop Demon Hunters TV show: Came out in 2025? Or that I watched? Law & Order: SVU Game: Fantasy Life i Comic: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Book: Starter Villain Music: KPop Demon Hunters Soundtrack, duh! Go!

I’m trying to make hotel arrangements to go to my uncle’s service and these Las Vegas (not on the strip) hotel prices are bonkers! Also I’ve talked to my dad more in the last week than I had the whole rest of the year. 😬 That’s not a flex.
