I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.

Go away, 2016.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Wonderful, askye. I know it's been tough for you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That's fantastic, askye!

Thrive to spite them

Thanks,. I really appreciate it. I still struggle with feeling like..everyone is going through so much and what I went through shouldn't have been so hard and I shouldn't be so proud of just working part time. But doing that doesn't help anything and it's important to acknowledge how much progress I've made.

...my therapist would say that is my Inner Adult getting stronger and mediating between my Inner Child and Inner Parent.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I am proud of you, askye.

I HSVE A CARD FROM MY SECRET BUFFISTA! I am not sure when it came it was in a pile of Maine that Mac brought in and I thought it was all store flyers and catalogues.

Whee! Card! It is Grumpy cat which makes me smile. And full of niceness and hints of things to come. Thank you thank you thank you!

My elf has struck again! Beautiful orange handcrafted earrings from Ghana made from up-cycled plastic.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

So you may notice that the gift message on the earrings promised more to come. That is because your elf is not so good with the linear progression of time, and therefore the t-shirt arrived before the earrings. But I hope you like them both!

SO!! Just after the excitement of the card, I got things, BUT in a surprising twist, I think NOT from my Santa.

I got an AWESOME elephant tree ornament from erika. which with the donation earlier just make me want to cry from love. Thank you SO MUCH. it is lovely and appreciated.

THEN an elf, maybe my gifter, I DO NOT KNOW! had a LuLaRoe person send me leggings! Hot pink and blue/tealish! bright and super FUN. I think NOT my Gifter, but an SHENANIGANS MAYHEM ELF and I am looking westward with my suspicions. hmmmmmm.

THANK YOU. I LOVE EVERYTHING!
