I fucking miss Rick Grimes!

I am rewatching TWD since I have to wait until October for new ones…so I decided to start back at the beginning…I know it’s legit only been half a season, but OMG I MISS RICK GRIMES!!! Andy, why did you have to leave us??? I’m almost to the end of season 3 already…I may have time to watch it twice by October. LMAO, I am a pro at binge watching.

Some friends and I started a *Girl Gang*, we’re gonna get T-shirts and patches. It’s all about Women supporting women, empowering each other and having each other’s backs! We’re called Femme AF.

I’m not gonna get super political, but I am gonna say I’m sick of this shit, this attack on women’s rights, our right to choose what we do with our own bodies, our right to be our own person…they’re looking to strip all that away, that’s why we have to have each other’s backs…we have to stand up for ourselves and each other, and not let them win! RISE UP AND RESIST! THE FUTURE IS FEMALE!

I’m home sick today and still not feeling so well, so that’s it for today. ❤

RE: Nerve block

I had one migraine that I woke up with this past Saturday…but it was manageable and I got rid of it. My period did arrive, Sunday night, and so far, no major migraines from it.

I have however been having insane cramps…feels like someone is trying to rip my uterus out with a red hot poker…but yeah sure I love being female! *angry face* I haven’t had cramps like these since i was a teenager… My emotions are also all over the damn place, I’m swinging from wanting to punch someone in the throat to trying not to cry.

My lunch break today was spent handling personal bullshit, I had to cancel Comcast internet because they fucking suck ass! And I got a letter from a guy in Kentucky repping my medical insurance saying that I would have to pay them back for any injuries from my car accident (last May) that they had paid benefits on…but they didn’t pay on anything progressive did…so what happened is the computer connected my broken toe(thanks to my dogs) to the accident and they needed to make sure that they were not connected because I did go to urgent care and the foot doctor about my toe. However, that happened on like May 22nd(or so) and the accident was May 30th so that should have been fucking obvious but apparently it wasn’t. So I had to resolve that as well. Fucking morons if you ask me…I mean there was at least a week between the toe and car accident.

I also got my nails did on Sunday…LOOOOOVE them!!! Hubby and I made a deal that I could get my nails did once I lost 10 lbs…guess who is down 11 as of last Saturday!?

The color of the dipping powder is called Wizard Fantasy. ❤ And We love Negan!

Who else is relieved there was no major life or death cliff hangers on the TWD Season 9 finale??? *raises hand*

musical musings…

At work right now…It’s kinda quiet today though.

AFI’s album Sing the Sorrow turns 16 today. That album got me through a lot of shit. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time. I love AFI so much, one of my top 5 bands. I saw them in concert in August 2017. It was amazing, even got my daughter to fall in love with their music. My husband hated it…but I think even worse than the music was the atmosphere for him…but he doesn’t like that style of music either, and the two opening bands were terrible.

So I mentioned yesterday also, that I saw Lucero in November, they are definitely now one of my top 5 bands as well. Like they kinda already were before I saw them live, and then that cemented it. Even though I saw them at Dante’s which is a terrible venue with lousy acoustics…the show was still FUCKING AMAZING!!! I missed buying my ticket when they were on sale, but luckily I found someone who had an extra ticket they needed to sell. I didn’t take a bunch of pics, I just took one, and enjoyed the music.

Lucero @ Dante’s in PDX on 11/10/18

I really would love to see them again. I hope they are back in PDX soon. Shortly after this concert they got some National recognition when they performed and interviewed on GMA, I think was the show. And I think that is pretty badass, but at the same time, I was thinking oh damn, now they’re gonna get super famous and they’ll play bigger venues and ticket prices will go up and tons of other people will want to go see them so it will be harder to get tickets…haha I might have been thinking a little selfishly…but I just love them so much! ❤

I first discovered Lucero because I was listening to a station on iheartradio based off of Christian Kane, and a song called “Last Pale Light in the West” came on, it is by Ben Nichols, the front man for Lucero, on his solo album. I fell in love with that song, and found the album to listen to, then late found he front Lucero and I fell in love with that as well. My favorite of their albums is Tennessee, but they are ALL amazing! And that song, plus one other by Ben have been featured on one of my favorite TV shows, The Walking Dead!!! ❤

This past weekend there was a PJ tribute band show in PDX, also included Nirvana and Mother Love Bone tributes, I wanted to go so bad, but didn’t get to. It was called Flannel Fest, hopefully they’ll come back here again…maybe next year.

I am getting a new Pearl Jam tattoo soon, in the next couple of weeks. “Given to fly…” in Eddie’s handwriting from his lyrics journal. It’s going to go along my right collar bone opposite my humming bird. I really can’t wait til I can start the Eddie Vedder portrait tattoo. That one will be gorgeous! ❤
