precisely. honestly you'd think uber and those types would provide a service if your drunk and need a ride ya know? like a subscription or special tab or soemthing

which on the one hand good that they have a conscience but on the other come on people! ugh i hate drunk drivers.

well thats a blessing. do they think they were drunk?

well glad they're ok. geesh there's a lot of nuts out on the street. especially NYE. here i got into bed and heard those idiots out on the intersection doing a stupid street takeover. and then heard 4 different impacts. because guess what? its stupid and dangerous and now 4 different people are gonna wake up to their cars trashed. ugh in case you havent noticed i hate those. otherwise our nye and day was normal and quiet. communion service at church, watched the countdown on animal crossing. and then lazed about watching the rose parade new years day

oh @LilyElizabeth you might be interested. i'm on chapter 18 of the new book.

ooo knitting or crochet? my sis does both, she prefers knitting though. oh! reminds me, yesterday the prayer group at church apparently have also become a crocheting circle, they made sis and me scarves! such a nice surprise. the book? my favorite explanation is the tag line: 'a new house, a new life and two dead bodies in the safe' so glad you finally got those glasses @Elgee! seeing helps with so much

well you had me at marshmallow mountain *grabs a hot caramel hot chocolate and a small mountain of marshmallows to go in it, plops down in a chair* hmmm good things that happened this year.....hmm... welli suppose the best thing was i was finally able to release the book i work on with mom before she passed. and it has become the best selling book i've made so far. but mostly it was seeing it in print, seeing her name on it and peoples support and reaction to it

oh gosh i've been yearning for a good blanket fort. something that just totally sends me back to childhood where the stress didnt exist and i was just plainly happy. that is such a good idea

you have any pics of your space so far?

yes. tart with a firmer smooth fruit.

lol i'm the total opposite. apple pie is like the bottom of the pie barrel for me. but give me a good granny smith....yuup

bless you Heavy. bless you TREAT ME!

best way to have a carmel apple is pre-sliced and dip it in the carmel

oh woman *high fives* yes. them and plain ooo AND mini m&m's are tied for me for best m&m

have a specific kind you like most? chocolate's a broad selection

woooooo i shall take these with pleasure. also i would like to request a trick........for elgee muhahahha

you've been summoned @Delenn like from halloween as a kid it was always tootsie pops and m&m's. though i still like them, and m&m's are one of my hardcore fundamentally loved candies. when we pass out candy now i always scuttle away some Twix bars, m&m's and snickers. BUT if we're opening it up to other snacks as elgee had, dude GIVE ME CHEESE

TREAT ME!

hahaha oh i dont think she was confused

This you @Elgee?

bronze or silver?

yeah i got the ring and more recently a brown ajah flame necklace

that is actually the way in which you're supposed to meditate. its not about emptying your mind of all thoughts, but being able to recognize and dismiss them.

1000%! be a good thing to do in the yellows!

Throughout my life art has been the constant space in which I’ve been able to deal, to process. Expressing feelings into pages, letting my line work speak the words I can’t. For a time even that had been taken from me. That joy and release because I’d been made to feel inadequate, lacking. And perhaps unironically my skill had dropped in tune with my mental state. Something I hadn’t realized until I began to miss it. Began to miss the confidence I had before. drawing, still provides part of my mental therapy, though more so for me, it’s storytelling. Writing, sequential art, expressing what I bottle up vicariously. I cant tell you how many times I’ve cried over my paper because what I was drawing allowed me to feel, allowed me to open that dam. The space between my hand, pencil and paper is sacred to me. aside from that, especially in recent years, I’ve come to cherish what few close friends I’ve kept through the years. My sister, my best friend, my cousin and my church family. People who genuinely care for me. (Which I still struggle with. Believing that people genuinely care) but I’m learning to lean on that, and open up to them more. It’s been a wealth for my mental health and strength. Privately also I’ve found that if I neglect my prayer life, my mental health begins to suffer. I need those quiet moments alone with God. also i make a point to spend one 24 hour period a week to not work. To disengage from that aspect of life and let my brain refresh oh also…my dog. Stupid awesome for my mental health.
