@pixelpaperyarn Good luck!
I'm snarky AF, but honestly, with the confirmation of Chris Cornell's death I have to say this:
If you need to vent, I'm here.
If you need to cry, I'm here.
If you need to scream, I'm here.
If you feel like you are alone, and no one is there: I. AM. HERE.
You are NOT alone.
You're not.
*HUGS*

The more things change... There's a blackbird singing from the rooftop again.
Even amidst the chaos this world and its humans bring, it's good to know that the birds will keep singing, no matter what we do.🙂
@upside Sounds good to me! I have had potato and cheese filled, and sauerkraut filled (mother-in-law is Ukrainian), but never together. I always make them with potato and cheddar, but I will have to try this sometime. :)
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! Here I am yesterday with my baby. Yes, she will be five next month, but she will always be my baby. :) https://octodon.social/media/DqJR7a5x_L-8Y-1om4I
Name nerd Christmas today! https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/ My daughter's name (Katarina) hasn't been in the top 1000 since 2005, and has never been higher than 478 (in 1994). OK, back to painting...
Painting my office today. Well, former office. Soon-to-be library-type room, since I have too many books. Would rather be out gardening. Gorgeous day out there today!

I endorse more hand-holding between freinds. Not to indicate any desire for relationship escalation, but just because closeness is nice :)
It's not hoarding if it's books
9pm, and a blackbird is still singing somewhere outside. I love this time of year, full of bloom and birdsong.🙂
It's a lovely sunny day, the birds are singing, and the little apple tree we planted last year is finally blossoming again.
I have no idea what the day will bring, but I try to focus on the simple pleasures.
Banana walnut bread, fresh out of the oven. It's what's for lunch. Nom nom. #baking https://octodon.social/media/SXVTS-fwvL9ZkE0WPZg
I wonder if Oscar the Grouch has a hipster cousin somewhere that lives in a recycling bin.
I need a pause button for my Federated timeline. Also: why is the whole timeline pushed down when new toots are loaded? I’m I’m not at the top of my TL, just load that shit above the fold!
reminder; a big part of self care can be admitting how you're feeling. giving things a name helps you understand them!
if you realize "oh hey this amorphous bad feeling i have is sadness" and say to people you trust "i feel sad", then
1. you will understand what you feel more
2. other people have an opportunity to send you ❤️ or do something concrete to help
@pixelpaperyarn Haha. My best friend at the time had a Commodore 64 and I was very envious of her. She always seemed to have all the cool stuff! :)
