Posted on July 14, 2019 by A Dreamer

Sure, tanks are kinda cool, but…

Posted on July 3, 2019 by A Dreamer

Not really appropriate for a 4th of July event here in the US. Yes, other places do that, but they’re other places. And moving 2.5 million from the Park Service for this bullshit. Not like they’re constantly overflowing with funds. … Continue reading →

I know there are bigger things I should be thinking about…

Posted on January 6, 2019 by A Dreamer

But I am genuinely enjoying watching the GOP lose the collective shit over this freshman Congress. You can tell they’re lashing out in fear. And they should be afraid. They’ve gotten away with enabling 45 an his hateful policies for … Continue reading →

Welp

Posted on January 3, 2019 by A Dreamer

If you’d told me at any time in my life I’d be getting tears eyed watching Congress… Well, it did happen once before, when the ACA was passed. And again today. The House of Representatives looks more like the people … Continue reading →

So far, so good.

Posted on January 1, 2019 by A Dreamer

Granted, we’re only a day into the new year, but not terrible yet, despite 45 having another weird tantrum laden day. Looks like Elizabeth Warren is running in 2020, which is fine, I was just hoping for a little more … Continue reading →

And here comes 2019

Posted on December 31, 2018 by A Dreamer

While I am incredibly happy to see 2018 in the rear view mirror, I can’t help but be a bit hesitant in welcoming 2019 with open arms. So much of 2018 was being incredibly angry at the current administration and … Continue reading →

How did I forget this existed?

Posted on November 12, 2018 by A Dreamer

Habitica RPG Seriously, this is the best to do app I’ve ever used, because it has repeating options, reminders, severity, it works across platforms – AND IT’S A GAME. I’d been using it a while back and cannot for the … Continue reading →

We shall not forget.

Posted on November 11, 2018 by A Dreamer

I am old.

Posted on November 10, 2018 by A Dreamer

How do I know? I am far too excited about new household appliances. Last month we replaced our 30 year old furnace. Tonight it’s going to go down to the 30’s and I’m very interested to see how well it … Continue reading →

I survived the conference!

Posted on November 9, 2018 by A Dreamer

And it did not kick my ass nearly as bad as it did last year. Seriously, at the end of it last year, I wasn’t sure I ever wanted to do it again. Ever. This year, I’m tired and my … Continue reading →
