@TrueBloodNet I’m literally moving to France. That’s how bad I think this is gonna get.

@th3j35t3r @Jester234 Da fook?

@wideeyedcurious Why are we in this corner of the space time continuum? I swear I got off at the wrong stop.

@th3j35t3r Is that cow wearing boots? Is this the Top Secret cow?

If I eyeroll any harder, I’m gonna give myself a full brain scan, audiology report, and an esophagogastroduodenoscopy.

@kismatt Will do!

@Zevon Thanks! I’m so excited. It’s all places I’ve never been. And I even remembered my pocket handkerchiefs.

Airport online check in done. Bags packed. Kindles loaded. Headphones, watches, and phones charging. This time tomorrow, I’ll be flying over the North Atlantic for the birthday trip with the momma. No news. Just adventure. And wine. And cheese.

@Mauve_matelot Thank you!

Waiting to hear back about an offer on the house. The universe is making me work hard for this big change, but it’s definitely bringing things I’ve hoped for right to our door. Gratitude for the manifestation. May it grow to encompass others as well.

@Horrrflmlvr 🫂

Sigh. So tired of this pocket of the time-space continuum.

@janallmac I don’t yet. It’s a five year process. We’re financially able to get the visa we need. I’m doing the paperwork now. We’d planned to wait until spring, but not now. As for the money issues, I work from home, and my mother has her retirement. Our house is completely paid for, so we will have that money to pay for a new home outright and not owe anything. We’ve been planning this move for a year. It’s just going to happen sooner.

@gemswinc Thank you. ❤️

And now we are ramping up our timeline to move to France. A dumpster will take all the stuff that can’t be sold or donated. We’ll clear out the house by December 15 and put it up for auction. Moving in early January with doggo and my 83 year old momma.

A friend of mine just messaged me his angst about the election, but then he said, “As an old, white, male, who already owns a home and has no debts and no kids, I will be virtually unaffected. But I feel so sorry for the people who are not in that situation.” Like…I don’t know how to explain to him there is NO ONE WHO IS GOING TO BE UNTOUCHED BY THIS SHIT. How does he think he’ll be “unaffected?”

@GinaE1973 I have no appetite but I’m eating so I can do what I must.

@gemswinc Bergerac, France.

I know I did everything I possibly could to do my part. I have no “oh god, I should have done X, Y, Z.” No. I did everything I could given my circumstances. It just wasn’t enough to stop others from making a devastating choice out of stupidity or just plain evilness.
