I found myself wondering if the season started. I didn't even turn the TV on today. I don't most days, so that's not a big change for me. I'll not be watching any athletic events for the foreseeable future. I'm stubborn like that. I haven't stepped foot into a retail establishment since June. That changed today. I walked into Michaels with a shadow box that needed repair. No mask. I walked into Cavenders to get our foster baby some boots. Most weren't wearing masks. Those that did took them off unless close to someone. I've not stepped foot into any establishment that requires a mask to shop. And I won't.

I'm tired of the BS and I'm very stingy with my money and time now. Nobody gets it that isn't deserving of it.


Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.
