My stepfather passed away last week. I am still in some shock. And participating in some funeral planning.

He had been back and forth to the ER since about Thanksgiving. Christine, my stepsister had coordinated most of his care.

Trying to keep up with my swaps but my brain is out of it still and not clear yet.

Currently reading James Patterson a few by him

I like all colors.

I don’t have any dislikes. Well I avoid the occult. I dabbled in it and I do it recommend messing around with it or my experience was frightening to me. Of course, results may differ for each person but magic, the occult, tarot and all of that stuff in staying away from now.

That said I do accept my own shadow and dark sides.

TV: many different crime shows from all over the world. Here in the USA, I watch Law & Order, and the other variations like SVU; FBI…

Also the Frankenstein Chronicles

And Landman.
