Accountability

I keep seeing this meme on social media about holding people accountable. You know, making sure we keep track of those who are/were Trump officials or as this recent Forbes article explains - holding the liars accountable. I have no problem with holding people accountable. I'm all for it. I just want accountability for everyone, not just one side of the aisle. There is a

I Guess I’m Gonna Start Blogging Again

What a long strange trip it's been. We're only one week into 2021 and already it's outdone its predecessor. Pretty sure there's no need for a recap, we've all been glued to our screens while the Capitol was stormed and breached by a bunch of dumbass Trump supporters. Chaos All those who stormed the Capitol and entered it to cause harm, fear and chaos should

Covid-19 Fatigue

Day 3975 or 32, possibly Tuesday, I have no fucking idea anymore.  I've got a horrible case of Covid-19 Fatigue, and I'm sure you do too. I'm tired of being cooped up inside. When this whole thing started we were just coming out of winter which in Minnesota is about 6-8 months. It was fine at first because I could go outside and walk the

What it’s Really Like to be a Single Mother

I Used 439 Words to Say “Fuck You”, and Now I’m Going to Use Even More

This post is going to live up to the blog title - you've been warned. I just used 439 words to say "fuck you", but in a nice way. I posted that little status update last night. I vague booked, though I am sure everyone knew I was talking about my ex husband. Many people praised me for being pedantic and asked what I said.

Rage Watching This Is Us

This Is Us is one of the few shows I only watch because I can't stand it anymore. I'm effectively rage watching This Is Us, and have been since about the second episode of the second season. If I wasn't rage watching This Is Us, I would have after last night's episode. *****SPOILER ALERT**** DON'T READ ANY FARTHER UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN THE EPISODE OR DON'T

The Struggle is Real

It's cold here. So cold! I don't mind the cold that much, I mean reasonable cold. This cold is epic. When I woke up this morning it was -27°F. Currently, it's -18°F and falling.  I've experienced these kinds of temps before. I grew up in the 1970s when sub zero temps and record snow falls were pretty commonplace. This current Polar Vortex is breaking all

On Accusations and Lies

I have court today. My ex husband is taking me to court to reinstate his parental access that he terminated last year in court when the judge didn't rule in his favor. I won't bore you with all the details of my divorce for the last 15 years, but suffice to say my ex has not been a shining example of what a father should

An Open Letter to Scott Gimple Re: The Walking Dead

Dear Scott Gimple Do you hate us? Do you have the Walking Dead fans? Do you hate the Walking Dead Universe? Do you hate Robert Kirkman and Greg Nicotero and all the other creative people involved in this show? Seriously, dude, what the heck is your deal? I love TWD. I came to the show late, and have only glanced at the comics, but the

Dementia is a Soul Sucking Fiend

Dementia is a soul sucking fiend, there is just no way around that fact. My mother had dementia and it just keeps getting worse and worse. Which is of course what it would do. Dementia doesn't get better. It just keeps getting worse. My mother suffered brain damage from anoxia back in 1970, she was 29, (you can read more about her demetia here and
