Oh, girl. We gave that up before the first of December. Luckily it snowed a foot last night! 😭

Right??? Ugh.

why, as a person who has existed for this long, do I have to keep filling out and renewing forms with the same information about my existence?

The war between my adblocker and youtube is getting wildly glitchy. Pretty sure youtube is in the process of sending ambulance-chasing lawyers and some kind of non FDA-approved mucous-related pharmaceutical directly to my home to get around it.

My potatoes are listless.

Some of these "year in review" things are more upsetting than they should be. You took 44 flights in 2023!

Dear. God.

I am not quite there but my spine is dead from shoveling. RIP, vertebrae, it was good knowing you.

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAA

Creeping over to my little bsky to say that I cannot stop watching this!

It's about as soothing as a car ride on a bumpy gravel road, but vocally.

I don't want that kind of magic and they should stop wishing it on people. That's extra sad.

It's laughably sad.

I was gone for three days, got back last night. Cats went crazy and ran over my face while I was sleeping, leaving razor-sharp claw marks. They totally wouldn't do that for a stranger. 🥲

Pretty sure my lame superpower is only wanting full price items during the Black Friday-Cyber Monday era.

Climate change. Bleargh. Well, at least winter is only nine months long. 🫠

No, because only like 2% of the state gets notable precipitation. And we are not close to that 2%.

I can't believe I have to put on snow pants and borrow a chainsaw to deal with my snow-felled trees. It's November.

Okay, I've cancelled all of my tv/movie streaming services and now I'm waiting to see if I feel like I need any of them back.

*sits back, watches them all pretend they are inventing TV again*

Hello! Nice to see you here.

The fingers seem especially important. Surely there is a solution. I hope they help you reach it posthaste!

It would be nice if they could do it for you. My mom has to do something similar. My dad did it for her the first two times (and he haaaaates needles), then she learned and now finds it "easy" (as easy as those things get, I guess). She said the trepidation was the worst part. Like many things.

This is like the singular tragedy of my life. It's always on days when I'm really tired and going to bed far too late...only to walk in on a naked bed and DESPAIR.

The cats, having bird-watched themselves into a fugue state, forgot they were cordial enemies for a moment and were sweet to each other. Now I've got claw marks in the dry wall and someone is wail-growling in the distance.

I'm not sure why I'm so bewildered by our first snow, but... *is bewildered*

It's deliberately confusing, for REASONS. And I'm going to be honest with you. I don't think it became clear (as clear as things get in this world) until like the last 50 pages. But then OHHHHHHH 😁 😁 😁

It was frustrating, and Very Confusing...and then it was beautiful. (that's my experience anyway) (don't get me started on Nona though. that one was tough for me for different reasons)

It was below freezing when I woke up this morning (decline), but what a beautiful fall day after the frost melted.

Kid and I are ranking our favorite starches/carbs.

Me:
1. Rice
2. Potato
3. Pasta/Bread family

Kid:
1. Bread
2. Bread
3. Po...Bread
4. Potato
5. Pasta
6. Rice

I am aghast at his rice ranking. I didn't know.

Because you couldn't read it fast enough?

When your flight is long enough to re-read Gideon the Ninth, take a nap, then start re-reading Harrow the Ninth.
