I’ve been putting on a brave face. But, after awhile too many things pile up and I just had to actually feel the emotions. I went to the lake and cried. Then game face back on and ready to face everything.10 May 2026 19:57 +0000at://did:plc:bm5mhiitavgedpuisic7stow/app.bsky.feed.post/3mljk6bijns2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/bessingaround.bsky.social/post/3mljca4zk722vIt’s 1:30 pm on Mother’s Day. I’ve done 5 loads of laundry, made multiple gallons of tea, washed dishes, cleaned up dog throw up, and been watching 3/4 of the grandkids. My son and DIl are at her mom’s planting flowers for her mom. Been gone 4 hours. One grandkid had a friend spend night.10 May 2026 17:34 +0000at://did:plc:bm5mhiitavgedpuisic7stow/app.bsky.feed.post/3mljca4zk722vhttps://bsky.app/profile/bessingaround.bsky.social/post/3mkame5dnkk2k#FloridaDrought We moved to the Tampa region in July. The water was up to the grass level at that time. Water has receded so much. Over a foot in last week. We are in extreme drought right now.24 Apr 2026 13:16 +0000at://did:plc:bm5mhiitavgedpuisic7stow/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkame5dnkk2khttps://bsky.app/profile/bessingaround.bsky.social/post/3mk6twum4yc2wI need an app to tell me how large an alligator is.
