I’ve been sober for 29 years so I’m not up on current alcohol terminology. I just learned what IBU means for beer. Learn something new every day.

It’s time to stop when you stab yourself in a nerve with your sewing needle. The buttons can wait. Ow.

Why is Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy stuck in my head?!?

I'm still alive. Enjoying life on ADHD medication. It is so fucking amazing I wish I had been diagnosed decades ago but I'm happy that the rest of my life won't be as difficult.

We’re taking turns in the back vestibule at work watching the downspout fire. Yes, police and firefighters are on scene.

Need to get back on my pill game. I haven’t been taking magnesium or a multivitamin for weeks and my body is pissed.

Starting the process of getting meds for my combined type ADHD. It would be nice to not have to fight my brain all the time.

Thought the dizziness was two vaccines yesterday. 3/4 to work, "Why can't I see half the car ahead of me?" Migraine aura. Fuck.

I was so tired after the party that it took me two days to remember my lost car keys had an air tag. Found them!!

I had to go to work this morning, the Spouse never has to go to work ever again. Totally jealous.

Didn’t realize how many amazing cooks and chefs my Spouse knew until we invited them all over for a potluck.

Spouse was up @ 3 am making chili for his retirement party today. None of us have any chill.

Husband's last day of work before retirement, D&D game here tonight, retirement party tomorrow. Of course I have a stress migraine today. Urgh.

Playing BG3 for over a year, just ran into the fucking HAG from Act I in Act III and I accidentally did a murder for her. This is apparently a "WTF just happened" run.

After having been on holiday since Dec 25, I am back in the office on campus today and I do believe the cat has been desperately searching for me since 7:30 am and driving everyone left in the house absolutely crazy.

Brain is still not happy about the “squirrels” across the street no matter how many times I tell myself it’s roofers.

Why does the oven smell like burning plastic?!?

Self, don’t freak out… it’s not squirrels in the wall, it’s roofers across the street in the snow in December.

I have no sympathy today for anyone else: it’s 1 degree F outside and I’m the only one of FOUR adults in the house who has to go to work today.

The Spouse has 5 working days left before he retires in January.

It took me at least a week to notice that one of our trees that leaned across the creek was replaced by a pile of wood neatly stacked along the creek wall. It was in the "is it ours, theirs, or the city's" space so I'm just happy we didn't get a bill. My spouse is happy for the firewood.

I have three sea shanties vying for attention in my head thanks to the Grand Duchess. “Fee fi fo Santiana a right whale bore. “

I'm fighting off a migraine and my coworkers are debating whether a mango or an orange would roll farther down the hallway. Help.

I am forced to wear socks today. I hate winter.

Birb bush at work.

Apparently I look like someone who knows where the marshmallows are at the grocery store. I do.

I’m being Rick-rolled be my own brain!!!

I have spent 24 hours in pajamas and am contemplating making it 48. And I’m only wearing that much because it’s winter and I live in central NYS.
