Hoo Boy, Darling Ones, I got some grief kicking my ass. I knew it was gonna come, and here it is. Earlier today 3/4 of the Tea Ladies gathered on Zoom for our monthly catch up. I’d love to tell you some of the life-stuff we discussed. It was a conversation filled with brave and beautiful stories from my friends that are not mine to tell. One of the Tea Ladies asked how I was doing as the year anniversary…
Hello Darling Ones, Two letters in two days? Count your lucky stars! I wanted to write today because it’s Eye Day and I want to bellyache about it. There are a lot of really great things about Eye Day. Namely, not losing my entire sight to macular edema and diabetic retinopathy. That’s not even exaggeration for humor’s sake. That’s the actual, factual truth. Without this treatment I will go blind. Another good thing about Eye Day? The security guy who…
Hi Darling Ones, Spotify just tried to play Gwen Stefani. Out loud. Where my ears could hear it. Not now, Spotify. I am not in the mood for such shenanigans. To be fair, I’m not in the mood for any shenanigans. I’m cranky and out of sorts with a viscous case of the Fuck All Y’alls. This is par for the course as January turns into February.

Turns out that while I can see clearer than before, which is a good thing, the distortion caused by the edema or the retinopathy is still a giant pain in the ass. Also, according to Dr. Google it could take awhile to adjust to the progressive lenses. Also, according to…
Hey Darling Ones, Over the weekend I watched not one but two docuseries on the Twin Flames cult. One on Netflix and the other on Amazon Prime. Both fascinating. I love documentaries about cults and con artists, which if you think about it are kind of the same thing. If you don’t know about the Twin Flames Universe it’s a pyramid scheme/religion run by two jokers who claim to know who your twin flame is, which is like a soulmate…
Hello Darling Ones, Happy last day of 2023. I hope the door hits it in the ass on its way out. This has not been my year. I’ve spent the day mindlessly getting my house in order. I put a new air filter in the furnace, watered the Sadness Garden, and other minor tasks I ignored while my family was here for three weeks. The day has also been spent wildly swinging through bitter jealousy and utter gratitude. The jealousy…
