I have been assured by my new neighbors that this spider is a good one. Lordy, I hope they're right. It's creeping me out. About 3-4 total width.

Back in 2007, two of my sisters came to Boca for my 50th birthday. I'd just bought my disaster of a house & gutted it. Redid everything in it over the years.

Me, Jacque, and Jen. ❤️

Yikes. Sharks near Rio have cocaine in their muscle tissue & livers.
The article didn't have a share button, so here's the title shot & most pertinent text.

Finished the mirror I was repurposing. I can see it sitting on a sideboard, dresser, or even on the wall with a deeper 'free floating' shelf under it.

I'm getting ready to list it on Etsy soon.

Here's the after, some detail, and the before.

Thanks!

Kentucky Gov Andy Beshear said a few minutes ago that -

a domestic abuser isn't a man, he's a monster.

He's right.

I was in a violently abusive marriage. It's hell.

Anyone who thinks a woman should stay with her abuser can F-off all the way to hell.

Yup. Gotta focus on what's really important in the long run.

Morning all!

I have a paint job today. (Yay!)

Happy Thursday!

Gotta say, one of the things I like best about this site is - because (I think?) just about everyone here is pro-keep America a republic -

I don't feel tempted to post screeching, panicky warnings about what's happening politically. You all are super aware & I'd only be preaching to the choir.

So, thank you for saving me from screaming into the dark, deep void.

Happy Wednesday, ya'll!

Ever have so many ideas pinging around in your head that it's nearly impossible to concentrate on any one thing?

It's that kind of morning. And I don't even do caffeine. (Gives me heart arrhythmia.)

Saw this cat photo on here - thank you to whomever posted it!

Made a Caturday meme from it. Hope you don't mind . . .

For every single sentence the MSM says that Biden's age is a problem -

I want them to say a sentence about Trump's age, physical shape, his dictator-wanna-be statements, his crimes, his penchant for little girls, and all the 'unproven' claims against him.

They'd be all over Biden like a bad rash if even one person claimed they'd been assaulted by him.

This is maddening!

So - all you way more media savvy people out there - how do we get them to do this?

Just heard Jaime Harrison on Morning Joe.

Damn. We need to send him everywhere to speak about Biden, right now.

Trying to get back to writing now that I'm settled from the big interstate move.

Got a zillion things bouncing through the brain, tho. And I only drink decaf . . . 🤣 (Caffeine gives me heart arrhythmia.)

And, now I do live alone. Again.

May as well keep the damn lights up at this point. 🤣

My new neighbors in Hampstead, NC, are wonderful.

One man has already referred me to 3 people for paint jobs. Small ones, but it's a great start in a place where I know only my son & his family.

So, it's off to work I go. 😀

Hope the birthday is awesome. 😀

Happy 4th!
