things

1. Most of the people I interacted with around here seem to have left. 

2. I’m taking two classes at the local college for no particular reason other than to have something resembling marketable skills on my resume. 

3. I’ve learned two things: I love economics and I despise accounting. 

4. I have accounting homework right now and I’m procrastinating by making this list. 

5. It’s 10:35 and the pain in my right arm is a 6. I’ve just eaten two marijuana gummies to see if it has any effect on the pain. 

6. Chronic pain still controls my life. 

7. God help me, I just can’t make myself care about adjusting account statements and closing entries. 

8. I think signing up for this accounting class was a big mistake.

9. There’s a reason accountants are stereotyped as boring. This shit will make anyone dull. 

10. Someone do my accounting homework for me?

11. Maybe I should drop this class. 

12. uuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh

Getting into the Halloween spirit with this book…

[gunhilda]

This was a really good read and even features our local (former) insane asylum that I just toured over the weekend. Very interesting stuff.

For years, I’ve been desperate to get out of Michigan and now I’m seriously considering staying just a bit longer because we have weed. 

Legalizing marijuana has improved this place 1000%.

My cat has been having digestive issues so the vet wants to do an ultrasound and biopsy to check things out. Two weeks from now. 

So I’m just gonna spend the next two weeks high as fuck trying to not spiral into hysteria. 

[gunhilda]

Thank fuck for weed. Panic attack fucked right off.

Heather Ross is a screenwriter, producer, author and philanthropist who lives in Los Angeles. She was also good friends with the late Carrie Fisher, known mostly for her role as Princess Lei in the Star Wars films. In 2000, Ross moved from Tucson to Los Angeles and had a particularly disturbing incident with a “high-profile, Oscar winning producer.” She met the producer online and made plans for dinner to discuss an upcoming project. Shortly after he picked her up, he pulled over the car and attempted to sexually assault her. When Ross told Fisher about the incident, she personally delivered a Tiffany box wrapped with a white bow to the producer. Inside the box, Fisher had placed a cow tongue and a note which read: “If you ever touch my darling Heather or any other woman again, the next deliver will be something of yours in a much smaller box.

It’s Stinky’s 7th birthday, and he has requested that you all have a beer in his honor. Because his humans are mean and won’t let him have beer. 🍻🍀Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Happy birthday, Stinky! https://www.instagram.com/p/BvHnojvlMzn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fk80ytp9xe2r

I am one in an estimated 25-30 million Americans with a rare disease. I have #HNPP a genetic neurological disorder that causes damage to the nerves in my limbs. Not gonna lie, it sucks. It affects every aspect of my life. It’s isolating and depressing and frustrating. But knowing I’m not the only one makes it suck just a little less, so here’s to all of us #spoonies on #rarediseaseday https://www.instagram.com/p/BublmE7llzY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=idtkp4ojskza
