you do not have to be good

I'm Sands 40/Massachusetts/queer here on purpose

[biblically-accurate-bongrip]

intro post people seem to think is required nowadays

Facts:

I'm 40 and live in a surprisingly conservative town in central Massachusetts

my preferred pronouns/identity are not listed because I don't know. I have boobs. I like women. I don't feel like a woman. I don't identify with maleness.

I live alone and don't talk to my family

I work in mental health services and it's not a good fit! I'm so burned out!

I have two 17 year old cats (Ricky + Julian) who I worry about a lot and a 14 year old ball python (Babygirl) who I don't worry about at all

hiking and kayaking are very important to me and if I can't do them things will be bad.

I stand for accessibility and anti-consumerism

sure yes ask + interact whatever I'm not a friggin cop

Fandoms include pwhl hockey, Thor/Loki, Star Trek, 90's/early 2000's nostalgia, Moomins

My current goal is to hike all 48 of the Hampshire 4,000 footers

yesterday's work tantrum: they want Chinese food. Yen Yen won't deliver until 5. It is 2. We got Chinese food 4 days ago. We went shopping 2 days ago and there is plenty to eat here, but. Want Chinese NOW.

This results in a crutch being thrown (yes the one with balloons on it), tears and screaming

I made this chandelier fuckin paper thing. It took forever but it's cute I guess. From Happy Crafts by Lucia Mallea.

just walked by some very good yard sale signage

yesterday was so rough I spent 2 hours at the Fitchburg DTA office tryina get food stamps for one of our guys and them came back rly overwhelmed and the 18 year old immediately demanded I help them decorate their crutches (sprained ankle) and I was like "Alright but I need 15 minutes of quiet and eating my salad and watching pwhl" and they just. would not fuck off.

I really wish that at least one person I knew in Atlanta had said they were worried about me when I was binge drinking or obviously on a ton of pills instead of just quietly backing away from a friend who was fucking foundering

I neglected the shit out of my garden bed at church but still managed to grow a few sunflowers... finally seeing the first bloom!

so on the way to the lake yesterday I stopped into Market Basket to buy bug spray and a snack for later

they had a 4 pc for $5 fried chicken thing which was surprising because most of their hot food is hideously overpriced so I was like sure why not

it was really not all that (seasonings: salt) but I guess I was hungrier than I thought because I devoured 3 1/2 pieces of that shit while driving. Unable to put it down. Gasping for air when I finally did. Grease and crumbs EVERYWHERE. The 1977 classic "Crazy On You" by Heart comes to mind. Reader, I got so nasty with that chicken I had to pull into a Cumbie's to clean myself up afterwards.

then I drank my entire 32oz nalgene during less than 1 1/2 hours of kayaking
