I’ve decided to start going back to the range and practicing with my pistol again. Considering getting a concealed carry permit just in case things get bad enough where I feel I’ll need to defend myself while out and about. I don’t think things will get that bad, but better safe than sorry, right?

One of my best friends is a martial arts instructor and she said she’ll give me free self defense classes. I’m small and weak, so I need every advantage I can get.

Hell is empty and all the devils are here

I’d love to leave, but it isn’t feasible for me. I’m absolutely terrified and have no way out.

I go over to my parents’ place to meal prep because they have a kitchen that’s bigger than mine. They often end up just cooking most of what I bring despite me being like, “Hey let’s chat while I cook.” I put emphasis on me cooking, but they just start doing their thing and they seem to enjoy it so I just let it happen. I think they think they’re teaching me lol

Exactly! Once you can see it and know that you deserve to be treated well, cutting out the toxicity is so nice

My mom thinks that you should do anything for family.

Meanwhile, I can cut ties with people like it’s nothing. Once you have to end toxic relationships a few times, it gets really easy. Now I just don’t hang around toxic people lol.

Lmao. I’m considering doing a Dullahan costume next year for Halloween and using one of the horses for it lol

I love all this and the fact that exposure to the sun can make my autoimmune disease worse and can actually do permanent damage to organs and could kill me if I get burnt bad enough. Got the diagnosis right after I got back into riding horses. -_-

Shit. Thank you for opening my eyes!

Lol yeah, but it doesn’t mean that I can type and catch all of my typos.

“No u” written on a 1040c in red ink at a 45 degree angle. Maybe put a thumb print on there for food measure

Can I get the link too? The book looks interesting

Part of my job is keeping all of the endpoints my work manages up to date with patch compliance. I’ve had to create exceptions for the past two windows 11 updates because they won’t run on most machines for no reason. It’s been a pain in the ass. I can’t just add the machines to the exception list without doing basic troubleshooting because “procedure” and I’ve spent so much time doing absolutely unnecessary shit.

Same!

Omg that makes me so happy. I love my spoders. I moved into my house 2 years ago and so far, I’ve had 5 different spiders. One male and four females. They all die eventually, but I love watching them grow.

I love jumping spiders. I have 3 females living in my house right now and they’re the best. I love coming across them in my daily life.

I’m IT and my cousin is software. I had to teach him basic computer maintenance…

Ikr?

Honestly

You’re welcome. I haven’t read it in years because it’s so sad. I have a copy sitting on my shelf because it’s genuinely a good book, but I haven’t cracked it open.
