Contemplating an entire weekend of severe ennui. Post all the sappy songs I put on playlists. Cry. Possibly more crying. Pretty much just the crying and the music.
@HCBunny This is corny, but one year I decided to treat myself special and I went out and bought flowers, chocolates, candles, a gift and a card for myself. Why not treat ourselves as good as we'd treat someone else?
@HCBunny 🙀 That really sucks 😡
So how about we gather all of Mastodon together and yell "Shame" at him while he walks past. It could be a new holiday tradition!
You may have followed the tale of little Bucket, our oldest kitty. She was very frail, and for the last 6 months has needed to be fed by syringe. But she wanted to stay for longer than anyone ever thought; this week she let me know it was her time, and she crossed the bridge on Tuesday.
No grief, just so many happy memories of the scraggly little cat who found us back in 2008. Fly high, Bucket, thank you for being my kitty.
Whenever I feel shy about being the only masked person around, I think about the woman in this video having a great time rocking out in public, not bothered one bit by all the mood killers around her.
Unfortunately sometimes you have to fit in and pass by unnoticed to survive, but often it's just boring and not worth it. Rock that mask. :mastodance:
Apropos of nothing, I just had this memory of a type of needlework my neighbor would do when I was a kid. She made dozens of these little signs and we had them all over our (raised Catholic) house.
I would ask my parents what they said and they'd tell me, incredulously, that it was the name of a prominent religious figure.
I'm going to post a picture of one of these things here. Click it, and focus on the white lettering.
