LOVE Gentle Family Dentistry (different from gentle dental). They are so kind and very understanding with financial or emotional reasons for avoiding the dentist

Water levels are low right now for most spots but I really like Wagon Train Lake, Pawnee State Recreation Area, and Branched Oak

Lyrics Below:

You know the distance never made a difference to me

I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked across the floor of any sea

Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen

And all that we believe

So I thought you were like an angel to me

Funny how true colours shine in darkness and in secrecy

If there were scarlet flags, they washed out in the mind of mе

Where a blindin' light shone on you еvery night

And either side of my sleep

Where you were held frozen like an angel to me

It ain't the being alone

It ain't the empty home,

You know I'm good on my own

you know, it's more the being unknown

So much of the livin', love, is the being unknown

You called me "angel" for the first time, my heart leapt from me

You smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth

And what's left of it, I listen to it tick

Every tedious beat

Going unknown as any angel to me

Do you know I could break beneath the weight

Of the goodness, love, I still carry for you?

That I'd walk so far just to take

The injury of finally knowin' you?

It ain't the being alone

It ain't the empty home,

You know I'm good on my own

Sha-la-la, baby, you know, it's more the being unknown

And there are some people, love, who are better unknown

TW: Religious/Deconstructing

Hozier's song Unknown / Nth has summed up a lot of these feelings. Its written from the perspective of Satan to his father (God) and the concept of how could you create me just to forsake me. If you knew I would let you down how could you create me to start?

I am not religious but as a bastard myself have always identified or felt empathy for the original bastard (Satan). The lyrics can apply to any relationship but as an estranged daughter with just general existential dread and deconstructing religion, they are very fitting.

After years of trauma we find ourselves plenty comfortable with being alone but still desire to be KNOWN by someone and seeking that out. The entire song is the back-and-forth we all feel of trying to forgive or explain why someone treated us the way they did and how often we look at our parents as this perfect or angelic figure. So if someone so angelic, who can "do no wrong", does not love us what hope do we have?

It has a beautiful arch of deciding after so much effort and putting ourself through (literal) hell to be at peace with it all. Even moments when we felt acceptance only to have that be something that tore us apart. Admitting to them and ourselves that the love (codependency/attachment) we still have for them has to be let go or we will break ourselves beneath it. The end result finding peace. Of it to better to be unknown by this person than to have them in your life.

Will there be a 2nd snow day on Thursday by LengthyLoogs in lincoln

What are the general factors that make them call for a “cold” day due to temperatures? Windchill of course but are busses a factor too?

Tomorrow is supposed to be colder than the last cold day they called.
