15 perks of having a dog

Just a breezy post about how my little doggo has made my life better.

  1. They give structure to your day. I have found this very helpful now when life feels pretty nebulous.
  2. They make sure you get outside. Not sure how well I would be doing about this during the pandemic without Velma.
  3. You have a cuddle buddy. Another huge perk during this time of physical distancing.
  4. I have found that Velma helps me feel more productive because no matter what else I did or didn't do on any given day, I took care of my dog and that's something.
  5. I have found that Velma helps me remember to vacuum more because her hair gets everywhere.
  6. They are unbelievably cute and you get to just look at them.
  7. My dog is so soft and it is so comforting to pet her.
  8. Dogs make sure you exercise.
  9. They love you unconditionally and that is so heartwarming.
  10. My dog makes sure I always have fruit in the house because that is one of the snacks she can have.
  11. You can tell them anything.
  12. They give you a chance to play. Velma doesn't really play, but I do hide food for her to sniff around and find (she is not very good at this game).
  13. You get to bond with other people over their pets, it's a great common ground.
  14. You have company. Even when Velma and I aren't cuddling, I just like knowing she's near.
  15. You get a chance to meet other cute doggos.

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...
