Maybe!

Thanks! I've texted everyone worthy of hearing the news first hand, and changed my LinkedIn employment status and updated my profile... and it's still not real to me. Probably won't be until next Monday.

I just accepted the job offer. I start the 28th. It's a $2 dip in pay, but that's actually okay - I'm still in the process of getting disability, and there's a cap on what you can earn to qualify, so this should keep me comfortably within limit.

So, this "friend"... Noticed some of my insta posts about my etsy shop yesterday and texted me effusive praise about my branding and marketing and all that. And I said thank you. And she asked if she could do anything to help, and I asked her to promote if she could and she said she would. Not a terrible interaction. But she always knows how to put her foot in it. She texts me just now that she went ahead and added me to her small business collaboration group on fb. I text back "thanks, which account?" thinking maybe she had sent me a friend request. Radio silence. I check my new fb

So. It's been a week. Who's picking the next film?

My mom let me Lisa Frank everything, so I did have stuff like that. Also, the Caboodles set! I didn’t think they made Caboodles anymore, but I saw one for sale at JoAnns the other day. I’m also glad they gave her a little Molly doll, although I can tell you that in 1986 the catalogs were half-pages.

Me getting the sleep boogers out of my eyes upon waking.

Ah, depression, my new-ish friend. I’ve had anxiety and a low-grade depression since the day I was born, but it really turned into a problem about a month into that terrible job I took in 2019. It got worse and worse as the job went on and a resulting nervous breakdown (I actually had two in the 9 months I worked there) in March was the end of that job. I hoped it would get better away from that toxic environment, but with my unemployment troubles it’s just gotten worse. I’ve been on Cymbalta for years now because of fibromyalgia and anxiety, and the depression hit even through

Well aware, thanks to a friend who is a grandma by now

Brand new Historical American Girl Doll, Courtney from 1986 - https://www.americangirl.com/ American Girl MC’s are always 9 years old, so Courtney was born in 1977 and is an “X-ennial” who would put herself in Gen X. Dunno about you, but I had a very, very similar dolly and me Care Bears sleepshirt in 1986. Yes, I do feel very old right now. Also, fun fact, 1986 is when I got my Samantha Parkington doll, if I recall correctly. Also, why isn’t her name Jennifer?

I’m planning on watching it! Children of the Corn. Okay, where are these 1980’s kids with zero adults around getting all these Victorian smocks? I know there was a remake at one point, and I really hope Elijah Wood played Issac. It was okay. But what was the god they were worshiping, and why won’t it allow any adults? I guess there’s a prequel coming out next year and there’s something about how the young people were exacting revenge on the adults who ruined the corn and therefore their future and... way to shoehorn modern sentiments in.

The Abyss is double purring right now, btw.

Pile o’ void.

A lot of the retro stuff is hard to find on the streamers! Prime is adding more (hence watching Amityville), but most of what’s available for free are the remakes. I’ll keep an eye out for these, tho, thanks!
