I'm a hot mess

I have zero fucks. Tea, music, dogs, The Red Sox, British shows, and random shit. I'm accepting of all people, and everyone is welcome here. Unless you are a giant dingus.

I have the AC on. A ceiling fan is also going. Im in shorts and a tank top. Yet I am still SO FUCKING HOT. Why?! Why is peri menopause like this? I either feel super ragey or brain fog floats in, or I sweat sitting still - you motherfucking hot flashes- women are so strong. We really should be running everything.

It really irritates me that the orange faced asshole is at the world cup final. I just...why can't a alligator just eat him when hes in florida?!?!

Okay so - I just read that some rich ass hedge fund guy who is a big soccer fan, complained to the orange buffoon in the White House about Balogans red card. The orange buffoon calls Infantino (head of FIFA) to ask him to review the decision to see if it could be overturned. Fifa couldnt violate there own rule but they found a loophole- article 27 which states they can suspend the suspension. However if Balogan makes a similar mistake anytime in the next year, the ban is upheld, the 1 game suspension. Essentially hes on probation. Now, no matter what the US team does, it looks like we did something dirty which in a way was fucking shifty. JFC can that comb over asshole keep his mouth shut EVER?!?! Also that hedge fund asshole should go pound sand. Gggrr. Stepping off my soap box....

Why yes. Sometimes you do need to buy a collectors edition vinyl of "Earth Rocker" by Clutch. Comes with signatures, and full lyrics. Plus the artwork is sick. I cannot wait to blast this.

Joy filled post u are warned: so the past month has been a shitshow for me. Horrible bacterial infection in May that required surgery and a 5 day hospital stay. Recovery has been going well, but you know how it goes- one wrench in your carefully laid out daily plan fucks you. Now, all that being said....i was overwhelmed with admiration and love for the nurses, surgeons, doctors, cleaning staff, homecare nurses...everyone who was so caring and helpful. They made a life threatening situation NOT that. Because of them, im healing as well as I am.

Now. The added joy has been the World Cup. The Knicks. Voldemorts name coming off The Kennedy Center. Watching videos of World Cup fans descending on America and loving our food, our people, hospitality, etc is life affirming. The US is not complete shit. We can host this and be good to people. Seeing a Brit eat taco bell and lose their mind, or biscuits and gravy...oh the JOY!! Secondly - the Knicks. The New York Knicks. I will not pretend to be a NBA fan, but everyone in America, in a way, is a Knicks fan. Seeing them achieve a championship 53 years in the making...incredible!! Then seeing the NYC joy?!?!! People partying in the streets, hugging each other, crying, laughing, dancing...it is filling my heart. Like its emotional. The US has been in pain for some time now and I dont know any of us realized how much we all needed a release. A release of pure happiness. Love. Comrades with Europeans, linking arms with our neighbors...ahhh its lovely. Maybe im being naive and sappy, but I could give a shit. I turn 53 in a couple weeks and for the first time in awhile I feel hopeful for this country. So to the rest of the world who has come to visit..WELCOME. we need you, we love you, and to my neighbors we will turn the corner. I can feel it.
