The Bow Belle

No, not Fozzie Bear.  I wore my Pac-Man bow today! Pill-Popper Pac-Man, that is!  Mama got us both a shirt that has Pac-Man on it, so this bow may make more frequent appearances in the future.  Love, RagingMoon1987 

Like Shinedown said, there's more of us, we're everywhere.  I've even found a subreddit for the asexual community, though some of those folks are crazy MOFOs.  Oh well, I'm a little crazy myself.  The world could do with a little more positive craziness, the kind that doesn't hurt anyone.

It's Plush Animal Lovers Day. At the ripe ol' age of 39 I still love me a good teddy bear/stuffed animal.  Last Friday a little girl brought a stuffed Yoda into the library, and I kid you not, that thing looked like he'd been hand-crocheted.  He was big too, about a foot and a half tall.  When I asked where the child had gotten such a nice Yoda her mother replied "We literally just picked him up at the thrift store."  I'm not big into Star Wars , not yet, but that was a niiiiiice Yoda.  I'd have had him in my plushie collection in a heartbeat. That said, I don't have a Yoda in my plushie collection, largely because I'm not a big Star Wars fan (again, not yet).  I have nothing against Star Wars , but I've never seen the movies and thus couldn't be a fan.  Once again, not yet.  That might change if I ever see the movies.  I do like Harrison Ford, after all.  But no, my plushie collection is pretty standard, consisting of the critters seen...

Wasn't sure what to wear today, so I picked my frog bow. Funny thing, I run into more brown frogs than I do green, and most of the green ones I've met have white bellies.  But I don't make a habit of picking frogs up to check, so maybe plenty of 'em have yellow bellies. No, despite my fondness for frogs and toads I try to avoid picking them up.  Their little bones feel fragile, and they don't have ribs at all so ham-handing frogs and toads can fatally damage their hearts or lungs.  I don't wanna cause undeserved, unintentional pain to one of my favorite creatures, so I leave the little guys be if I can.  I will pick them up to relocate 'em (cupped hands), as my dogs are idiots and don't know that toads taste nasty and can make a doggie sick.  Otherwise I look and don't touch, even though I love the moist, soft feel of a frog's skin.

JoJo Bow! During her youth JoJo Siwa was as bright and colorful as a kid in a candy store.  I freaking loved all the colors she wore!  Not that she's boring now, of course; indeed, she reminds me a little of Sir Elton John in this getup. I LOVE THAT JACKET!!!  Doesn't look like the most comfortable thing in the world, but it sure is cute.  Speaking of Sir Elton John, I know for a fact that he and JoJo are...acquainted, at least.  Knowing Sir Elt and his fondness for younger musicians, he's probably latched onto her like Velcro.  Birds of a feather, I s'pose.  Both Elt and JoJo are LGBTQ+ and like loud colors, so they'd definitely vibe. Whatevs, as long as they're not hurting anyone I'm good with it! Rainbow love, RagingMoon1987

Yep, another drive to Cape Girardeau.  I had a lumbar puncture done, which wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be.  I didn't tie my hair up yesterday, but...well, I did today.  Doctor Who Day is gonna be on a Monday this year (my off day), so I trotted out Big Blue a month early.  Not that I need an excuse to wear my TARDIS bow, LOL. The lumbar puncture was nothing like I'd feared.  I had to lie on my stomach, which was not fun for two reasons.  One, I have large breasts.  Any woman with big boobs knows it's next to impossible to lie on one's stomach comfortably.  Two, my hips kept spazzing out, and this was a problem because you've gotta hold still for a lumbar puncture.  A lot of squirming and a lot of prayers got me to finally relax.  As to the puncture itself, the lidocaine shot burned some, but the actual puncture didn't hurt at all.  I mean, I felt someone TOUCH my spine, but it didn't hurt.  Felt kinda like...
