Personally I have a pretty bad history with "Christianity" after spending my adolescence in an evangelical more-or-less Baptist church (being told my stepdad's abuse was my own fault was just one highlight!) so I am especially bothered by Christians that want to help me "find Jesus" or whatever. Like I've heard it all, I've read the Bible (more than once), and I'm still happily agnostic thankyouverymuch lol. Believe what you wanna believe, that's fine with me as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else and you aren't trying to force it on me or anyone else. :)

I once saw a doctor, and literally our first meeting, he asks me if I believed in god. When I, unimpressed, said no, he smiled and told me that I "will someday."

I never went back. I think I complained to my insurance too (they sent me to him).

Like Anarchist said, it costs $0 to stay in your lane lmao! That's a great phrase that I've really got to remember.

I don't know you either, as I'm fairly new, but hello, welcome back! :D



@Wildfire: It's normally not that big of a deal to get my blood drawn but the transportation offered by my health insurance has become utter crap. They picked me up an hour late (without bothering to warn me so I stood outside in the heat and mosquitoes for an hour), so I was late for my appointment, which was changed to a walk-in appointment, which they aren't currently taking due to being short staffed, so I didn't even get my bloodwork done (so now I have to reschedule my doctor's appointment as well). And then I was stranded for two and a half hours waiting for a return ride that was constantly "will be there in 10/20 minutes." 🙃 Next time I swear I'm going to take a damn Lyft and bill my insurance company. 😡

Also I got a sunburn.

But at least it wasn't as bad as last time; last time I was stranded for five hours.


As for what I'm doing while I've got the house to myself? I dunno, I gotta take care of her dog and bird, which isn't too bad. I might mop and clean the bathroom while she's gone. Other than that... I dunno, just vibe I guess. 🤷‍♂





I'm getting blood drawn today, yaaay. Then we need to go to Walmart. Roommate flies to Colorado tomorrow for almost a week (house to myself, let's goooooo).

What're you guys up to?




Oh, that's really cute! Nice work! :D



@Ava: Holy crap that's awesome!!



@Another Movie Addict: :( Sorry you're not feeling well.



Good morning, I'm trying my dad's keto-diet friendly chocolate cereal, with blueberries added, and it's pretty good! :D

@Anarchist Beauty: Fair enough! :vanora_xd:



@Purpsy: Fried grouper and mac & cheese. A lot of both. XD

And now Dad's just handed me (vegan) jello with blueberries and pear chunks, lol.

@Anarchist Beauty: Gee, was it that easy to tell? XD



@Purpsy: True! And like my dad said when I confessed it to him; I'm on vacation, I don't "have" to do anything. :)

Also dinner was great and I definitely ate way too much. It's been an hour and a half since we left the restaurant and I still feel like I need to be rolled across the room rather than walking. XD

@Ava: Thank you! And oh, no, it's not a fun time when the dye turns out differently than you expect!


@ChiffonOrange: I've never had a pixie cut but I have had my hair pretty short before. I think this cut is my new go-to, for now at least. :)
