Hubris 📚

What do my CO and Therapist have in common?

Loving this shirt.

When I’m in uniform, I never miss an opportunity to kick my lil feets. I’ll sit on every surface I can that makes my feet dangle so I can kick em. Even a soap box. I’m that short.

I could make him worse.

If you email me at 1am, don’t be surprised when I reply at 1am.

Hi.
I used to be an SME.
Not any more.
Now I’m the personality hire.
Just a girl that’s tired of being tired.
Now I feed the troops. Talk about my garden or books. Bring baked goods. Plan parties & ceremonies. Yap.
Until my time runs out.
Then I will never talk about the last 20 years again.

Meanwhile I’m over here listening to a book where the inn keeper said he only has one room left.

Same.

Return all the Amazon and Walmart purchases, change your card numbers and logins.

Am I… Death?

Agreed.

No.

When I die, I want people to remember me for my best lines:

“That’s my load bearing coffee, sir”

And

“DONT DRINK THAT. It’s harmful without a pastry. Let’s get you a pastry, sir”

My entire army career I was treated like a personality hire so I became one. And that’s ok I guess.

Fine. For those who only play FF7R…

What yall see.
What I see.

Sharing my potats with @ckshowalter.bsky.social was the highlight of my day.

Bringing this back just because.

✨Range day✨

Waking my 1SG up gently. Was never an option.

I explained a concern to someone today & was dismissed.

I cashed in on my hurt feelings & turned it into the plot of a new book.

The people I discussed it with after were very happy with the idea. Their criticism was constructive to the point of promoting further creativity.

Today was a good day.

Awake at 3am: Great Year Edition

I don’t need context. I aim to be the best supporting character in this story. But for that I will need an invite to the baby shower.

We listen and we don’t judge.

Today I learned CAC isn’t real ID.

And I didn’t like any of it.

6 hours of scheming and plotting.

3k words on paper already.

It feels good to write something new as opposed to what my editor is waiting on (sorry not sorry).

A friend calling me and them getting my Christian name out before I can say hello makes my heart drop to my feet.

And these are butternut squash

My apple tree is blooming !
