Christy

This is very kind. Thank you, friend. 😭😭

The moods are murder, cry, unhealthily productive, and dgaf.

It’s been the last year (I’m 42) that I really noticed it. I’m a pretty even keel person generally and that is now BROKEN

I mean that’s something, right?!

It’s rural noir so it’s REAL dark but I love this author.

A screenshot of my 66% progress in the King of Ashes audiobook by S.A. Cosby.

This book is fucking DARK, and I love it. I’ve done so many chores this weekend to try to listen for a few more minutes. I need to see these gangsters’ downfall.

A martini is never a bad choice

Three browned bread bowls on a rack

Bread bowls for tomorrow!

Also EMINENT 🤦🏼‍♀️

Imminent domain and all!

The estrogen roller coaster is literally crazy making.

I was a high school teacher (without kids of my own), and I absolutely agree.

Ridiculous

Are you kidding me? I’d have lost my mind. A kid about ran me over on the sidewalk yesterday on his e-bike and I was ready to strangle him.

ALSO all the circles on the dresser are because our goddamn guests can’t use the PROVIDED COASTER

Per the alt text on the quoted Frank photo: Here is the rest of the set. It’s old limed oak which is so ugly but I love it.

Also pictured is J’s childhood rock collection which I insist is an unnecessary guest room feature but he disagrees.

Frank lounges on the purple rug in my purple mid century mod guest room. Not pictured is the bureau and mirrored buffet. This bedroom set was the first furniture my grandparents bought new when they were married.

Once again, the small black dog thinks that my guest room—with the white quilt 🙄—is his room.

Well my genetics are shitty in all other ways, so I’ll take this win.

I mean you do look too young to have a kid in college! Thanks, collagen!

Someone told me I have great skin yesterday. I regretted to tell them that I didn’t moisturize at all until a couple years ago. Now all I do is use a makeup eraser at night and sometimes a gel moisturizer. Then CeraVe’s hyaluronic + sunscreen under my makeup. Guess it’s just chubby cheek privilege?

In honor of Timothee Chalamet’s stupid take on ballet, we’re going to Springfield to see Swan Lake for my birthday. All art matters and ballet is INCREDIBLE

A member of ACT UP said that during the peak years of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s: “We went to funerals and buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and then fucked danced and partied all night.”

Because the world is on fire, it’s on us to live out loud. We need to do it all.

Dad holding me when I’m maybe 18 months old. We wear ridiculous cowboy hats and semi-matching belts. He has a sweet Bocephus shirt.

It’s so weird when a person is here—always here—and then not. What a weird phase of life.

Yessssss 🙌🏻

Ooof. Those things are everywhere. 😭

That seems so miserable. Spring allergies?

If you meet the limit, there are still Allegra and Claritin. Godspeed in this burgeoning allergy season. It’s awful

THIN MINTS

I mean, WHAT COULD GO WRONG, right?!

We have just decided we’re going to Pomme de Terre to spread my dad’s ashes over spring break. 💛 I have been told we no longer have a Snoopy fishing rod, so I’ll make do with a grown-up one, I guess.
