Yeah, the less selective enforcement the better, for sure. And if that eventually leads to laws being removed that were really only there so they could be selectively enforced, hallelujah.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We're supposedly getting new windows today, so I had to lock the cat in the bathroom. Luckily, she is obsessed with the bathroom sink, and also being where I am, so by the time I had moved the food/water and litter in there, all I had to do was shut the door. I still feel bad for her! And really hope they do one of my other rooms that can close today.
Also a slight complaint about my mother and her weird cheapness: She's getting new windows on about 3/4 of the house. Why not just do the whole thing?? I mean, I realize that extra quarter adds up to real money, but she was just having to spend her savings down to qualify for Medicaid! Just do it!
This is like when she got the walls fixed in my apartment, but not in the bathroom. The smallest room! Just do it all!
Obviously, it's her money and she can do what she wants.

That is like the opposite of my dad, who is like, part of the roof needs repairs? Replace the whole thing! And add solar panels! And paint the house while we're at it! I think he thinks he can be actually done with home maintenance if he does enough at one time.
Their house does look nice with all that almost finished, I have to admit.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Don't know about your mom's situation other than what you shared. I want to replace all my windows but can only afford 6 windows and 1 patio door right now - leaving 3 windows to do when I can afford another chunk of money. Windows are expensive, yo.

I have dawdled and dilly-dallied so much that I would only be able to get in a ten-minute walk before work. I think that might not be worth the effort. Sorry, dog. He's sleeping in front of the fan, anyway, so maybe that's okay.
Ooh, but I could leave now and have time to drive-through Starbucks, inch closer to gold-level (whatever that is).
Oh, this is kind of dumb but was a nice moment so I will share. I have a zillion black skirts in various sizes because I have been many sizes over the last few years and always need a black skirt (and have not culled) so when I came across a nice lightweight linen one hanging in the closet this morning, I first checked the size, which seemed like it might be right for my current size, although I had a vague memory of trying it on before and having it be smaller than I expected, so when I pulled it on and it seemed snug over my hips I was already trying to think of the next thing to try BUT when I got it to my waist it actually fit perfectly. Yay.

I hear that, I do. But she's retired -- she'll never have more money than she does right now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I should have known that dating someone in my building where everyone knows each other would lead to drama. Tim the maintenace guy is good friends with Anna, and he hates the fact that Anna and I are hanging out together. He's said some terrible things to Anna, and he keeps trying to discourage me from seeing her. And it's not as if he's in love with her, as he has a big crush on the woman below me. Which is another weird story.
eta: I want to say to him, "Dude, she's 58. She's old enough not to need a chaperone."

Tired. (No real surprise there, as little guy was screaming for no reason at 4 am.)

Aw, poor little guy, hard to communicate. (and poot parents, of course)
That's all kinds of weird, tommyrot. Sorry there's drama, but it probably was inevitable. At least it's not actually between you two drama.
