The twenty-fifth

Image
It's that day again.  The day that every American old enuff to remember 9/11 stops and remembers where they were when they got news of the terror attack. I also think a lot about our local police, fire, and first responders today, since they were on high alert after the mess in NYC.  Everyone was.  Our schools were on lockdown all day, to the point that when I walked to the elementary school from the high school someone had to let me in.  But yeah, even in little podunk Malden, Missouri the police were out full-force, looking for dodgy characters.  I think they did find one drunk smart-a$$ making vague threats of violence, but that was it.  But little podunk Malden, thank God, has lovely police, lovely firemen, and lovely first responders.  I'm grateful that we at least have that. I can't believe it's been twenty-five years since all that!  At times it feels like it was just yesterday, and other times it feels like it was a million years ago. Swee...

Prevention

Image
Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.  I don't have a purple and teal bow, but I do have my big silver bow for mental health. I've seen silver utilized for both schizophrenia awareness and bipolar disorder awareness, as well as generalized brain disorders.  So yeah, brain health and mental health awareness can stave off suicide in some cases.  Some cases, mind y'all.  Other times folks are lonely, or unemployed, or having trouble with substance abuse, or y'all get the drift.  If any of y'all have any sort of ideation, go to this link .  If you live in Missouri like I do, this link is also good .  Please know that you're not alone; indeed, a lot of us have felt worthless and helpless at some point in your life.  You matter to SOMEONE!!!  I guarantee it, you matter to someone.

First birthday of the season!

Image
When my grandmother was alive September 2nd was the beginning of Birthday Season, but with her being in heaven the first of the season is now my sister's.  Her birthday is today, so I picked a purple bow. Sister's favorite color is purple, has been ever since she was old enuff to name the colors.  She wasn't into the lavender that most little girls like, but deep grape juice purple.  As she grew into a teenager, purple was just about the only bright color she'd wear without a fight, and even then she liked the darker shades.  I can even remember looking into her box of nail polish and noting that most of her favorite bottles were deep purple.  Even though green is my favorite color I've developed a fondness for purple, thanks to my dear ol' sis! Happy birthday, Sis!  I love you so much, and I wish you were here right now.  We'd eat Mexican, probably! Love, RagingMoon1987

UK!

Image
Today is National College Colors Day.  I didn't attend University of Kentucky, and my sister isn't there anymore, but she and her husband had a very positive experience in Lexington, so I'll always have a soft spot for UK.  I couldn't find my University of Kentucky bow, so I'm wearing one of my other blue bows. Not that Sister and Brother-in-Law are unhappy at University of Arkansas, of course!  Sister loves her boss, which is saying something since some of Sister's past bosses have been rude or overly demanding or sexist.  No, Sis really likes this guy, and his wife too.  My brother-in-law also gets along well with his boss, but he gets along with just about everybody.  I need to find my Razorback hair bow; I know I've got one somewhere.  But in the meantime I'll stick with Sparkle Blue here. Blue love, RagingMoon1987

Heights, heights, heat!

Image
It's National Skyscraper Day.  Shudder, just the thought of that makes me nauseous.  I hate, hate, HATE heights!  And yet...and yet I think hot air balloons are cool. As I've said before I wouldn't go up in a hot air balloon unless you paid me a million dollars (I admit I said "unless"), but I do love to look at 'em. In other news, it is balls soup hot in the Bootheel again, and in most of the center of the country.  It was hot when July transitioned into August, and now it's hot again.  Look at this! No relief in sight, not eight days away or anytime in between!  That combined with our cantankerous A/C has made for some miserable living conditions.  I find it ironic that I moved my animals (and myself) over to Uncle Man-Child's place to escape the heat, and it's hot anyway!  But it's not as bad as it would've been at my old house (it has no functioning A/C at all). Love, RagingMoon1987

Another random day!

Image
Huzzah, it's another random day!   This is arguably the most original bow I own.  How many of y'all have heard of a heart made from a zipper???  I love the color combo too, and the polka dots.  It's just a very unique bow, and I love anything unique. Love, RagingMoon1987
