And we have functioning toilets (and happy bladders) again!

Fun day at work. Brand new clinic, two bathrooms instead of just the one rickety thing. Today - both toilets clogged. Plumbers are here but it's taking a while. We're having to make quick trips to the old clinic to pee. Never been so happy to deal with the annoying old toilet in my life.

Got an email this evening from Nature's Treasures, one of my favorite rock shops in Austin. Apparently the drawing I put my name in for back on my birthday - I won the grand prize. A $333 gift certificate. I'm not sure I'll sleep tonight, I'm so damned excited.

WEEKEND!!!!!!!

I really really don't want to work the close shift on Friday, and I really don't want to have to handle the front entirely by myself on Saturday. I hope my co-worker's son gets well enough that she doesn't have to cancel on Friday/Saturday. I know that's a little selfish, but I'm just so tired.

Oh almost forgot. WEEKEND!

WEEKEND!!!!!

Work crystals and cuties. Yes these are mine. @writergal10.bsky.social

Blech. Why couldn't Monday have lasted another two days just for sleep?

WEEKEND! (And my birthday tomorrow on top of that!)

In a week (well, Sunday), I turn 53. I just have to make it through this week at work to my 2 1/2 day weekend. I hope this week will go smoothly, peacefully, sanely (especially that one), and that all the entitled clients decide to go to the Hutto clinic instead of ours.

WEEKEND!

I thought making an appt for the DMV to get my license renewed would mean that it would go quickly, and my sister and I wouldn't be sitting there forever. Wrong. The DMV is still clearly run by Glen Carter from The Blacklist. But the task is done for another 8 years.

I think my sister & I have all our paperwork gathered for tomorrow's trek into Georgetown to renew our drivers licenses. Mine's due to be renewed, but she's doing hers, too, because of change of address and voting. Just ready to have this shit done for another 6 years - or till we escape Texas.

WEEKEND!!!!!

My sister and I walked so much today, but it was an awesome day. We bought plants at the Round Rock Garden Center and Lowe's. I got two new pillows, (had to do the oil change for my car, and that was a bit because they also replaced a couple of filters as well), and other stuff for work.

WEEKEND!!!!!

Time change sucks, and the fact that my weekend is pretty much officially over sucks even more. Why can't I just stay home in bed with my dog and stare at my pretty rocks all day tomorrow?

Starting off the work week tomorrow at the new clinic, which means no more stairs for me - just mine and the practice manager's office, two bathrooms that work, lots of room, and probably organizing. No stairs is good because Jean Grey decided to show up this week to kick in my uterus.

Appt to renew my driver's license set for a couple of Mondays away. Kathy wanted to set hers for the same day, even though hers isn't coming up on being due yet. I definitely want a new photo for mine because fuck my old one ew.

WEEKEND!!!!!

March 2, 2026. Full Moon. I took these.

WEEKEND!!!!!!

Share a TV show that raised you.

Ugh. Why does it have to be Monday night? I need three more days to sleep in.

Got up today to run errands. Among those errands was to early vote, which I did. Yay me.

Wow. I haven't written a single poem since 2024. I came home from work today, picked up one of my late professor's poetry books, read a few and got inspired. Wrote something that's already blown a few people away, esp since one of my besties workshopped it for me. Go me.

WEEKEND!!!!!

Catching it early this week. WEEKEND!!!!!

No, I don't like that it's Monday night and I have to go to bed shortly because my work week starts tomorrow already. I want another 2 days to sleep in and write.

Yeah, definitely a few hours late, but WEEKEND!

WEEKEND!!!!!!

You may have seen this one, @soliloquent.bsky.social, but just in case.

@soliloquent.bsky.social I saw this on my FB while I was at work, and I knew you just HAD to have this one for obvious reasons! (Of course, the top needs to be changed to Steve drawing Tony, but you get the idea.)

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Sunday morning and a little dog in protest of the ice.

Oh wow. I just realized I didn't do my usual WEEKEND post, but then my weekend actually started at 6am this morning instead of 1pm like usual on account of the winter storm causing concern so that they closed the clinic today. So WEEKEND! Sleeping in was bliss, and I've stayed in pjs all day.

Why does my weekend have to be over? I need one more day just to sleep. Dammit.

WEEKEND!!!!!! (And thank the Norns it is, too. This week has been hellish because of constant internet outages.)

Oh crap. Almost forgot again. WEEKEND!!!!!

Our clinic jackets came in today! Very warm and fleecy.

@majorenglish.bsky.social I could totally *hear* this. I thought you'd appreciate it.

Finished watching the final season of Stranger Things tonight with my sister. Without thinking about it, she wore her Stranger Things t-shirt today, and I wore the Hellfire Club t-shirt @writergal10.bsky.social gave me for Yule.

WEEKEND!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

I haven't even started watching season 5 Stranger Things yet, and I'm already annoyed as fuck by the fandom. THEY WERE NEVER GOING TO BE A CANON SHIP, YOU LITTLE MONGRELS. This is the point of fanfiction and fanart.

@soliloquent.bsky.social HEDGEHOG BODY LANGUAGE FACTS!

Shit. Just dawned on me that I posted about being at the hospital and my brother being intubated. What I didn't do is follow up with the news that last Sunday on the Solstice, Joe passed away because there was not a space in his lungs that weren't covered with fibrosis. The only thing that would've
