Adding in some gratitude with my fangirling

 
This post will add some gratitude in with my fangirling.

First, gratitude:

- Someone posted that the food pantry at the community college really really needed donations, and they'd pick it up. I put a box together. They messaged me the next day to say the items were PERFECT for the pantry. So Doris made a Costco run and bought more of the same so we can donate again.

- Doris is closing one of her offices at the end of this month. It's a good thing - it will reduce her expenses and give her more time with her parents

- Going to a protest tomorrow!

- (Edited to add)...Kinda fandom related but I'll put it here since I did something hard. With Doris working today (Saturday) I had pretty much the whole day open. I wanted to go to this place in Chicago that sells all sorts of drag queen-ish gifts, to see if they had something I wanted to gift my queens. But getting there and back is a pain in the ass. On public transit, it's minimum 90 minutes one way. Street parking in the neighborhood is really tough, so I went the Spot Hero route. I knew I ran the risk of the parking garage also having issues....SO many Chicago parking garages have tiny spots flanked by huge concrete polls, and can be very hard to get in and out of the spots. But I did it. The spot was challenging, but I successfully got in and out. I visited the Chicago Diner (veg restaurant right near the gift place) too. Didn't find anything great at the gift place, but I did walk out with a few options. Mostly I'm happy that I got my damn car in and out of the parking spot!


Fan stuff:

Being a fan of these two is crazy. In just one day - yesterday - here's the content we got:

• new vlog from Kori
• sneak peak of Lydia in All Stars
• An IG live, where they shoutouted out to the IG page I help run and looked like they wanted to makeout in the backseat of the Uber.

And - goddess willing - I will get to meet them and see them perform on Thursday!! I am still doing "ok" mentally...definitely very into them but not totally obsessed. So that's good.
