HAPPY PRIDE!!!

Posted on June 16, 2020 by A Dreamer

The Supreme Court made it a little safer to be LGBTQA.  There’s still tons of terrible shit going on, but my god, it was nice to have some genuinely good news yesterday. And 45 is going to sign a police … Continue reading →

Oh look, it’s Monday again

Posted on June 15, 2020 by A Dreamer

Weekends are never long enough, but I swear in this pandemic, they’re even shorter. Probably not helping is the woodpecker that has arrived outside the house between 6:20-30 in the morning the past 4 days. It’s a brief visit as … Continue reading →

A decent nights sleep

Posted on June 13, 2020 by A Dreamer

And I’m slightly less “fuck the universe” this morning. Being Saturday doesn’t hurt, either. My only nod to Phase II is getting grab and go at Starbucks. This morning there was a tiny antique car gathering in the parking lot … Continue reading →

Well, we made it to Friday

Posted on June 12, 2020 by A Dreamer

And the President very much wants to run a tank through the middle of Seattle. If only he’d been this amped up to do something about the pandemic. Last night I had a big wallop of sad over all this. … Continue reading →

It’s. Only. Wednesday.

Posted on June 10, 2020 by A Dreamer

And I need a month off, I swear. Two days of micro disasters around the house. Two instances “We’re gonna do a FUN THING!” at work, neither of which I would categorize as fun. (Thank god, for real voluntary, but … Continue reading →

A less terrible Tuesday

Posted on June 9, 2020 by A Dreamer

We still have a pandemic and society is barely holding it together, but the cat is fine and the toilet is fixed. So, our Lee statue in Richmond is coming down, but there’s a 10 day injunction. The temporary injunction … Continue reading →

Oh FFS

Posted on June 8, 2020 by A Dreamer

Because life really does go on and boy howdy is it a Monday already. We’ve got a plague, a societal breaking point due to police brutality, a fucking toilet that refuses to fill with water and a cat deciding to … Continue reading →

Some lighter notes

Posted on June 7, 2020 by A Dreamer

Because life does continue. This week has been adventures in owning an old, but very loved car. An intermittent oil pressure light. Given that there was no puddle of oil in the driveway or smell of burned oil while driving, … Continue reading →

Well, someone didn’t get the memo

Posted on June 7, 2020 by A Dreamer

I’d been saying how pleasantly surprised I was that Fairfax County PD had made itself rather small and invisible the past two weeks, rather than making things worse as many other departments had done. The chief even put out a … Continue reading →
