You know, they have been playing better since I decided to dedicate more time to watching them.

Multi tasking by watching hockey, eating jelly beans and squabbling with a ‘Mr Must Have the Last Word’ on Reddit. I contain multitudes and only fear the jelly beans.

Alrighty then #Sabres

Imma watch a little hockey and try to forget how hard the last 90 minutes with an overtired large adult have been. Literally spilled milk here.

Do I warn the girls in the group chat that I’m likely to sob all the way through Boy George on Thursday night or do I let them think it will just be another night of fun?

I got him settled for a nap and soon he was snoring but I went over to take Joanne’s mail in and returned to find him half dressed and crying because he thought the melting snow across the street was a dead polar bear. This pile of snow I guess?

I came back from the store to find the guy with dementia and the neighbor watching a Jason Mamoa movie called Braven and it features a gun slinging guy with dementia and I am very glad that my other guy with dementia watcher is halfway home from his month away.

FESTOONS and chaos, never change my dysfunctional Tops. We have new carts, BLESS!

Ugh, the guy with dementia had new and concerning pain in the night and didn’t want to bother me. He is talking about everything/everywhere but also would like to have a hospital room next to Joanne to make my life easier. That’s sweet I guess?

Good morning! 20 days until Spring and possibly day one of a new war? I just woke up. The best thing about going out late is resetting your sleep. This waking up at 4 am needed to be adjusted. I slept very well, no rollover wake ups and no dreams.

I am home safe, but you guys almost lost me. I was driving east on Amherst St, by the park and zoo and where it swings into three lanes at Patkside, a car came barreling at me, oblivious that they were going the wrong way. I hope my horn didn’t wake the giraffes.

Saxsquatch

A “gentleman” was rude to me and then somehow a red drink straw fell from above and got stuck in my hair. That Yeti better start soon.

The Two Leos at Town Ballroom. I once had a series of arguments with someone about what came before House Music. Will not revisit that ridiculousness, House Music is what it is and it’s great.

Heading out as soon as I figure out what coat to wear. The jumpsuit is DVF and the most comfortable thing on the planet. I also think it’s Saxsquatch/Sasquatch adjacent enough for tonight. Sort of camouflage ish without being something a duck hunter would wear.

“Paint the Town Red, no thank you” she mutters as she covers her allergy stricken red nose with concealer.

Welcome to Buffalo where we are ridiculously well fed.

I had to order his fish fry now because he’s already ‘sprung forward’. I am having it delivered. I can’t duck out for 12 minutes if he doesn’t know what time it is. Also fielded calls from two pharmacies, 3 doctor’s offices and the social worker; but also found boots in the closet that I swear

This is trauma from my childhood that typically resulted in my dad taking me to Nestor’s for a Texas Hot while those people ate. We would then stop at the river for a bit while the house aired out. At least tgwd never asked me to cook it for him and instead would hide it behind a menu.

If you finally find pair of red shoes and the spendy price is $12 shy of free shipping and the shipping is $20 but you earn $10 towards another order, you still order them and sigh a lot, right?

Here we go! Do you think the work is actually finished? Will they send a car for me to attend the ribbon cutting? Nope to both of these, I think. But I will parlay the coupons into tons of gas points.

Hell isn’t other people, it’s the chat bots that you have to deal with when you are trying to use a coupon code to buy coffee.

I have convinced him to use the sock putting on gizmo that he was given in the hospital. He thinks the device, a piece of plastic with a pull rope, is tainted because it came from the hospital where he left his demons. Putting his socks on has not been kind to my lower back, I could use a soak.

Good morning! 21 days until Spring. 3 weeks is nothing, I already have daffodils coming up on the south side of the house. It’s cold now, but will get into the 40’s and be sunny today. I stayed up later that I have been to make today easier. We have tickets for Saxsquatch this evening.

Joanne update, at last! She is eating jello like it’s something delicious I made her, or a jello shot from the block parties* that were before my time. It’s her first food by mouth in a week. No idea when she will leave the hospital or where she is going. But she sounds okay. I sent her a sunset

I keep getting all the vowels in Scrabble (up to 595 wins in a row) and the guy with dementia just broke the dining table that I dislike but I’m not replacing furniture in this economy/stage of life and now I hear glass breaking in the kitchen. Love you, in case I never return.

Alright Mercury in retrograde, calm the fuck down.

Okay, my post disappeared. Have I been shadowbanned?

I am getting notifications of likes and things here that are not showing here, so if Bluesky breaks, just keep calling numbers in area code 716 until you find me. I’ll go charge my earbuds now, I love talking on the phone, hate holding the phone.

Sewing update: I got the bulk of the machine sewing done, but I am now stuck on beaded gown that falls apart when you touch it and a tulle hem that needs to be cut after I press it out. These garments are fast fashion and therefore infuriating but I love my people and will get it done.

I would like my friend @jdaleshoemaker.bsky.social to win a prize or something for enduring the typing of this sentence. I could not read it without having the anger and grief stop my heart for a few beats.

I tried to read the women with ADHD article but my Feminine ADHD wouldn’t let me read the entire thing 🤷🏼‍♀️.

I went looking for a set of clear bra straps that I cannot find because they are invisible, but I got reunited with my favorite sewing notion. It was in the little drawer of my machine at Margaret Stock’s and it’s time worn to my hand and 110 W 40th St is now a noodle shop, sigh.

I was wrong, it went low because he knocked it off his arm. Now I have to go pick up a new one on a day I planned to go braless.

His pressure was 199/113 and then 208/103 and he thinks he’s perfect. He’s now downstairs but still talking.

He’s talking without stopping and coming up for air, buckle up!

Phew, this app was being wonky and not clearing my overnight sleepy time notifications that I had already reviewed and I was thinking I might need to dm you all my phone number because I can’t live without a bunch of you but they cleared and I’m relieved I don’t have to be pesky yet today.

Good morning! 22 days until Spring and another cold day here. Tomorrow looks warmer and sunny, that will keep me going. I slept well, got up early to write a little. I’m starting to see an end to these revisions, but I want to make one more pass after letting things sit for a few days.

Despite knowing it would end this way, I was hoping that someone had taken him in. www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

I remain super pleased with the line up for Borderland and I started revisiting some of the bands. I discovered that Flipturn recorded with my Aussie pretend children Old Mervs and my worlds have collided in an the best way. music.apple.com/us/album/bur...

I’ve watched a little of the confirmation hearings and while I think that Casey Means is very good at using a Dyson Airwrap, I also think my Environmental Toxicologist son is buckets more qualified than she is.

A guy outside the bottle return dropped his cigarette in the snow and made us all look for it. How is this my life?

His pants fell down at the library!

The lab we frequent is inside a pediatrician’s office. Tgwd gets too distressed at hospital based ones. But I’m seeing all sorts of small people in 32 degree weather without hats and even socks and I know this doesn’t make them ill but also put a hat on that child. Hats are cute!

I went out to move the car and roll out the totes and the snow was shockingly deep so I shoveled and while I was out my toast got cold and I did not like anything about thus except hearing the birds.

Good morning! 23 days until Spring and the Sabres are back tonight. I watch because Dahlin is playing. It’s cold and snowed overnight but it should warm up a little. I slept well, got up with a stiff back again, but I’m taking the steps to work that out. I really need to get back to PT.

I know I have to keep my heart from being crushed by both beauty and pain right now, so I will listen to one story from @legroff.bsky.social a day.

My older son just called, we couldn’t talk yesterday because he had an audition. At that audition, a 18 or 19 year old showed up with his mother and that mother both tried to go into the theater space but was told to wait in the lobby and after his audition, she berated the guy for being squeaky.

Joanne update: She is in pain today but the surgeon says everything looks okay. I got this more realistic news from her granddaughter who is at the hospital with her. Last night, the daughter said Joanne was upset that I hadn’t called. Today the granddaughter says she’s not taking anyone’s calls.

The other day my sister in law told me that back in spring of 1985 when my brother brought her home from California and I recall Hawaii after knowing her for about 5 weeks he tasked her with telling my parents that she was pregnant ugh and that they needed to move in and I was not living at home so
