Not sure if you can hear this b/c I'm a bit stuck in the hall at the moment - but welcome to all you new folks here at CoSo!

And hello, y'all... long time no see ☺️

Good morning, CoSo ☕ A little musical interlude, if you will...

*curls up for a nice long nap* 👋

Communication can be frightening,challenging, intimidating...or maybe just too much trouble.

But, my lord...when two people are totally open & frank with each other?

Powerful.

I really, really need some hooch.

*heads to kitchen*

I am on the phone with my 78-year-old father, trying to walk him through ordering something off of Amazon.

Please pray for my sanity.

👋

Haircuts must be some kind of magic, since a good one can make you feel like a new person 🤔

Tired.

Whoa 👀 If Virginia flips, then we can *finally* ratify the Equal Rights Amendment 🤘💃🥳

Dammit...the storyline on the Flash is killing me this season 😔

(timing, & whatnot)

Evenin', mates 🔭

I’m going on week 3 of ignoring my dad loudly talking back (in support) to Fox 🤪

Freedom comes in a few days - but if I suddenly start spouting propaganda, please come 🥾 my tuckus 😆

I wanted to say thank you for all the messages...I’ve been feeling the love, & it helps a lot 💜

Many thanks (hugs to all). It is a sadness words do not adequately describe, for sure. Luckily she passed along some of her strength to me, as I'm finding out.

So I probably won't stay long tonight (as her service is tomorrow) but I'm hoping to start visiting more often.

I have sad news, though. One of the main reasons I have not been around much is b/c my mom's cancer became more of an issue this year, esp. at summer's end. Last Saturday night I was by her side as she slipped quietly away. 😔

👋🙂

woo woo!
