LGBTQ+ Rights Being Eroded

I wish I knew what the hell was going on in this country! Every time I turn around, there’s a new bill targeting LGBTQ+ folks and it’s alarming and just plain wrong! I’m pretty sure every single one of us knows someone who is in the LGBTQ+ category! I have family members, friends, and acquaintances who are LGBTQ+…so what’s the big deal? Jesus never said, “Love everyone except those LGBTQ+ people!” I get so angry when I hear people going on about letting others live their own lives or preaching to others about how they just need to be themselves. So, why can’t people let others live their own lives and walk their own paths even if they are LGBTQ+? Too many hypocrites out there…just saying.

Water Heater Blues

Back in early February, our water heater blew an element. Up until yesterday, we were using half-assed hot water. The water was being heated but not as hot as it would be with both elements operational. For months, we’ve had to rush in the shower before the hot water ran out! Rushing in the shower is not a good idea when you’re disabled! Anyway, Tuesday night, we heard a big BANG! POP! It was the same sound we heard when the first element went out. I thought, Oh great. How long will it take for Dad to do something so we don’t have to take cold showers? He actually got to it yesterday and it took him all day but we are now running the water heater with two elements. I can finally take the time to scrub the months-worth of dried skin off my legs and feet!

The Family You’re Born With vs. The Family You Chose

Some of you know a little about the family drama I encountered a couple of weeks ago. I’m not angry. I’m just sad that it has come to this. I no longer give a shit. They are still family and I love them but I have a better support system with friends I have never met in person! Those are the people I consider family. Some are blogger friends, and some are friends on Facebook. I just want to say thank you, to all of you who have been there for me, who check up on me and Dad, and who have provided a ‘safe place’ for me to vent. You know who you are! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

That’s all for now, friends! I hope you’re having a lovely week! What’s eating you?
