I loved this woman and I’ve thought this about my own life. Of course, she was incredibly brilliant, beautiful, and talented, and I’m a sarcastic middle-aged redhead who made a joke when the pharmacist told me they didn’t have the extended-release version of my prescription today. Oh, I need the extended-release.

This is not a political blog.

However…

I don’t often post pics of the kids anymore, but this one really captures Andrew, the tuba player.

Seen on the Insta.

I see stolen artwork for sale on t-shirts and prints and stickers everyday online. On Facebook, the Insta, ads, everywhere. When you see something you’ve seen before on licensed products, post this in the comments.

Scammers who steal artwork are profiting from someone else’s work. It can be an independent artist who worked hard and got a licensing deal that a scammer steals from, or a huge company. It doesn’t matter. It’s stealing. I’ve had my work lifted. It’s not a good feeling.

I found this image and I use it. I found it on a site, but it wasn’t attributed to anyone. So, if anyone knows who drew it, let me know.

Nineteen years ago I birthed a beautiful baby into this world while “Who Let The Dogs Out” playing on VH1 was on because I forgot my birthing cd at home.

This was day three of her first time around the sun. That was the day I apologized to her for not knowing what the hell I was doing and crying while she cried trying to latch on to breastfeed.

This kid and I have been through a lot together.

I love her more than she could ever know. No matter what.

I woke up coughing to death in the middle of the night and spent all day under the covers.

I do not feel well.

I should have not watched almost all of Pandemic on Netflix.

I know I do not have the Coronavirus*. I have never even had a Corona.

*I am making fun of myself, don’t hate me. I automatically jump to the worst thing possible when I’m sick.

I posted this on the Facebooks the other day, but I thought it was worth posting here, too.

I mean, it’s not a bad idea.
