Visited Episcopalian church last Sunday and turns out their elderly chain-smoking pastor who ducktapes his car together is educated at Notre Dame and Yale alike. He's cool.

Reminds me of that old saying, never judge a pastor by the ducttape on his car. ;)
Today, when I got out of my car, my neighbor's dog jumped in and follow me when I gave her a treat (I'm thinking of how it got to the point, I have dog treats for them).

She is fine. Yes that is Aloe, my therapist was going through coping methods on our very 1st session, I had mentioned the concept of imaginary friends when I was like 5 but my grandmother didn’t like the idea at the time, she was worried I would go too far with it. Then I heard about Tulpamancy. Now we have Aloe.
So, the octopus has nine brains? They must be the smartest of all.

If you're friends with an octopus, do you have to be friendly with all nine brains, or is a 5/4 split enough?
Ear tagged some calves, had some rocky mountain oysters

Farmer makes sense given this being your morning. I'm a metalworker by trade but have a few other skills. Life is indeed odd! I hope all the cattle are healthy and safe and not bothered by weather or insects too badly.
We were in Shallotte last night, it’s only an hour away but we made it there, got out of the cold. We watched Gunsmoke last night.

I used to watch Gunsmoke a lot. Some of the interactions were hilarious between Doc and Festus. Which episode did you see?

Some kid’s “PAAAW!” killed his mother and the boy wanted the town’s judge to sentence him to hang, but he learned other things about his mother, and found out his P A A A was actually trying to protect him. He is shot in the arm shielding the kid from a posse rounded up by the sheriff
Has anyone else here ever been so through so many consecutive months (or even years!!) of being stressed out to know end each day, that you start to notice… *things* happening to you mentally?? Like… I have this new fascination with Lovecraftian horror now. I used to cringe hard at it. But now… my brain responds to it like any other form of art or media. Entertained. Not horrified.

Then there’s the anti-catharsis of seeing all these new indie games that I CAN’T PLAY BECAUSE ALL I HAVE IS A PHONE… This one:
Look Outside.

My God, it’s just beautiful out there!! Look how colorful and vibrant it is!!

Trying so hard, SO SO HARD to cope. And it’s not that I can’t. It’s just that I have forgotten all my other, more “mundane” go-to coping skills, except for Aloe of course. Although, it becomes more difficult as The Oasis continues to acknowledge real life’s winter season…
I have good friends who can hang with me weekday afternoons, but they are married and spend time with their wives on weekends. I vow to put an end to weekend isolation this year.
I have to be very honest about something. Recently, since last year, all of last year… I have been feeling significant damage to my mental health. Aloe lives, she cannot be hurt by something like this. Only I can.

Videos of game play throughs have been keeping me entertained. Weed has kept me calm. THE COLD IS KEEPING ME SHAKEN AND BLURRY HEADED
Something that the universe never says about going through life: When you’re a young adult, coffee is a boost to keep you going. When you’re about to turn 30, coffee becomes NECESSARY!!
You never realize how big wolves are until you sit them next to a dog (namely a German Shepherd). Also, that our ancestors still teamed up with them.

There's a local who brings a wolf to the cafe, great big lovable beast!
