@JamminJerry @simon I have to use two programs for school that require 32 gb, even with a screen reader.

Okay then. My canceled Amazon Fresh order was delivered. As soon as I updated my payment method, I got a message of, your order will be delivered soon. Okay then. Not complaining, but either cancel the order or don't. Meow.

Last night's dinner woes: I was all set to eat the pasta salad I made last night. I cooked chicken thighs in the rice cooker and rotini pasta in the instant pot. Shredded the chicken used an onion and pepper blend, chopped up 2 pounds of roma tomatoes... And the caesar dressing was nowhere to be found. It was in my grocery order. I remember putting it away. But in the fridge were two nearly empty bottles of salad dressing. And my bottle of dressing was just gone. So I have two containers of pasta salad sitting in the fridge. And my dressing will be arriving in my Amazon Fresh order later this morning. Last night's dinner ended up being the last of the fish stew I made a few days ago instead.

I have a love hate relationship with living separately from loved ones. I miss living with people who care about me, but that care always came with some cost. Brainwashing, neglect, abuse, illegal drugs stored in the house, people micro managing where I went and what time I got home. I mis the feeling of being taken care of, having someone to cook for me, the feeling of parallel play. But I've learned to have those feelings outside my home. Truly, living on my own has allowed me to recharge from cult trauma and challenges in a way living with people who thought they knew me better never did. This move really has been for the better.

@JustinMac84 It's when two people are doing their own thing but benefit from experiencing each other's presence. :)

i'm sorry. This is Lindsey Lohan? I had no idea. Wish she'd sing more like this. Maybe she did and I just never noticed. This track appeared on the sound track of Freaky Friday. Loved the book as a kid. https://youtube.com/watch?v=vfMyKebXzyY&si=Uevjoh7O4YGqHoig

Dear Amazon,
When I said I wanted a clip-on strainer, I didn't mean one that covers a third of a pot or half a bowl. I wanted a vessel into which I could strain. Not a siphoner which keeps food in the original vessel. This really should have been made clearer in the product description.
No love,
Me

One small freedom I've enjoyed as an ex-cult? The ability to set a song as a ringtone and not be looked down upon for my choice. I've posted this reggaeton jam awhile back. It's popular enough to have a live version recorded in Puerto Rico. The ringtone takes the opening chorus and a piece of the second verse so that you get more singing instead of rapping. But it totally works. Anyway, if you know me, I bet you could totally see this coming out of my phone. Lol. https://youtube.com/watch?v=0NX9WLjVgac&si=7rxiG9nfsxP2SaQB

PDF: the piss me off document format. This message brought to you... apparently by my virtual brother Andre Louis. *fixes post* Happy Halloween, everybody.

In NYC, you can hear everything: your neighbors in their own apartments, people in the hallway, people outside. TJ found it amusing that I was reacting to noise outside. But just now, Michael and I were talking about how much quieter it is here in Colorado. New York internal noise filter, off. Few. Good to know I still have the filter, but I don't miss having to use it.

I'm in a house with kitties again! Meow! I approve! Bounce bounce.

I'd like to make a confession. *Walks to the front of the fediverse and clears her throat*... I have never eaten previously frozen bread, or used it in a sandwich until I got to Australia. I have never put bread in a freezer or stuck it in a toaster to defrost it until visiting Perth.

Thank you Australia for ripping my birth sect to shreds. Watched excerpts of this with Arfy today. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyS48KHENlyVPimoqTCn_uQLbD8AMRIIL&si=zCjNzeqOclVFp3X0

I wish I could re-assign the take screenshot command on iOS. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally taken a screen shot.

A reminder to my chronically ill friends to please take care of yourself during excessive heat warnings. If you leave your house, make sure you have an easy way to drink water. And if it's too hot, look at delaying your trip until it's cooler outside. Let's try and avoid unnecessary hospital stays, lovelies. If this doesn't apply to you, then happy scrolling. Have a great weekend, fedi friends.

My life has gotten so much easier with #ADHD after assigning all of my frequent contacts a custom text tone. My parents have one, my brother Matt, my partner James, my besties TJ, Dan, Sarah, Kerry, and Michael, my girls Tangela, Andrea, Jessica and Krista, my virtual brothers Steve, Arfy, Andre, Scott, and aussie Chris, Justin, and just more awesome folks who check in on me each day. Feeling so blessed to not feel like I have to reach out so hard for support these days. Happy Saturday, all.

Welcome to 6 AM in the leading time zone of the US and Canada. If you're up this early with me, I hope it's by choice. If not, I hope you can catch some more zzz's today before needing to be awake for realsies. Hugs to anyone who wants one. As for the rest of the world? Thanks for being up with me as well. I feel like less of an odd ball when I see my international fediverse friendlings are already awake. Happy Wednesday, fedifriends.

All right, international friends. Question time. You're outside of North America. You need to call North America. How would you do that? What would be your first go to solution for this without racking up a huge bill?
