We're all mad here.
"I turned on my old computer and caught that paperclip guy getting high with the spray can tool in Microsoft Paint.
My childhood was the most stable one I’m aware of. My parents were married for over 30 years. We lived in the same house since I was two. When my Mom passed away in 2006, stability went out the door. We lost my childhood home in 2007 and, since then, I’ve moved around every once in a while. Yesterday, I moved to my sixth address in as many years.
I hate this.
Is it too much to ask for to have stability? I know that sounds like an awful thing to some people, but I just want to go to work at the same place five days a week, come home at the same time to the same home every night, be surrounded by the same friends, and have a boring routine for my boring life. That sounds like heaven to me. No more of this “I don’t know where I’m going to be in six months” crap.
All I think about is how different my life would be if my Mom were still alive. Maybe I’d be married by now, in a house of my own, and maybe I’d even have a baby. Who knows? Instead I’m bouncing from home to home, car to car, job to job, and watching all my friends enjoy the life I wish were my own.
I’m probably just being hypersensitive right now because the change is so brand-new. Maybe in a couple weeks, I won’t care and I’ll be content to stay here until things are better financially and I can get a place of my own. All I know is I’m not giving up my dream because if you lose your hope, you lose everything. So I’m hanging onto that with every fiber of my being because I know things will get better with time, like they always have before.

Something to think about…
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
Word.
LOVE IT!!

The mere sight of each other left the Pie Maker and the girl named Chuck feeling exactly like they wanted to feel: safe and warm and loved.
Rather than telling anyone who reads this why you should vote for the person I’m voting for, I will tell you to just get out and VOTE. This election will be a close race so every single vote matters.
My mom always said, “If you don’t vote, you can’t complain.” November 6th is YOUR opportunity to cast your vote and make your voice heard.
If you’re still undecided, I encourage you to go to BOTH candidates’ websites and research, research, research. Decide what issues matter most to you personally and vote for the candidate you feel best represents your point of view. Don’t make an uneducated decision. This election is too important.
If you live in Florida, early voting is from October 27-November 3. Or, if you can’t make it to the polls for whatever the reason, you may request an absentee ballot HERE.
