Celebrating Zinke's retirement π₯³π₯³
Zinke retires and a podcast bitch takes up the mantle
What a day
Zinke not filing for reelection just before the blood moon lunar eclipse feels very cosmic
Gianforte looks like the personification of the first spork
(I keep wanting to make jokes about running for/being Governor, but it's really not a joke)
There's one, ONE, computer at work that I can do all my different weekly tasks and guess which one my coworker is currently hogging π
Don't mind me.
Just having another existential crisis.
Feel so torn down and exhausted today
Successfully got rid of the first round of stuff I posted on the free pages. I still have the closet of arts and crafts hell and my yarn and fabric stashes to get through but I'm thinking I'll get through that all today and hopefully also get rid of it
Starting the year off by having a clean out day.
A lot of the stuff will be posted on free pages on fb, some stuff will be donated and other stuff will be trash.
Only been at this for a little bit and I'm already feeling lighter.
Ugh, that sucks, I'm sorry! That's a huge jump.
I had owned a house until a few years ago now, but we needed the restart. Now that we have things a little more aligned, hopefully we'll be able to find something!
Working on my no buy/low spend list for 2026. Most of the rules I've had for the last two years are going to be carried over, but I do have a few amendments to make based off the areas I was a little too lenient
Hopefully can get more debt paid down and get into a house this year
Trying to finish up a pillow to add to one of the baskets I'm making for the fundraiser for a local crisis nursery and I have just realized I don't know where the blanket I made for this basket is π and I need to get these baskets delivered tonight πππ
Spent $100 and made 8 meal bags that I'm dropping off at little free libraries after work. 4 are breakfast themed and 4 are lunch themed and then there are 2 left over bags.
Also found loaves of bread for $1 and bought 8. 3 are going to stay at work and 5 will also go to LFBs.
Can I go back to bed yet? So sleepy
A rust brown sweater being crocheted using the granny stitch with a red hook that has a wooden handle. Currently working on a sleeve.
Currently working on ending my back log of projects π
If you know me, you know that I have the tendency to start a lot of wips and not finish them. Right now and including this sweater, I have 4 projects that I have to clear before I can start something new π

Love that people want to act bamboozled by snow in October.
Baby, I was ready for snow a couple weeks ago when it was 80+ in September. This is Montana, snow flies whether you like it or not.
Plus, I'm fully obstinate about it because I know people asking if I'm ready are not and so of course I am
Having the worst "told ya so" moment re: dc take over
I wanna barf
Been at work for like an hour and a half and I already want to quit
They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation.
Then they pretend and insist theyβre Christians.
Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.
Very close to quitting because I'm so over having to rehash the easiest things every week.
Letβs clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program β the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!
It blows my mind that the party that touts its βChristian valuesβ is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.
Leah Greenberg on Bluesky: βWe're hearing rumors that Ds have worked out a deal to allow a cloture vote (ie, give up their leverage to stop the bill) in exchange for a vote on an amendment (which will fail). That's not acceptable. We need real opposition to Trump's corruption, not procedural gimmicks. Call your Senators now:β
Senate Democrats canβt give away their leverage on a crypto-friendly bill that would enable Trumpβs corruption. A vote is expected in 90 minutes, so call your senators NOW: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
Finding a torsion bar for the Astro van may actually be what sends me over the edge.
I have called 60+ junk yards all over the country trying to find one and they are either the wrong year or length πππ
My eye has been twitching on and off for over a week now and it is driving me insane.
Really excited to kiss the small amount of savings I have good-bye today between the van and the tundra
I hate it here ππ
You are a hypocrite if you are celebrating Christ this weekend while cheering for a Tyrantβ¦
You just are.
I'm so jealous of everyone who gets to go to the Rally in Missoula today ππ

I would but Gianforte would probably use state police with ice
