Today's joys: rye bread is baking, a battery warming blanket has been installed in my grumpy car, and I did not get stuck on the snowy hill when I was driving home today (rear wheel drive is sassy in the snow).
Bread machine! It's cooling right now and it smells delicious!!
Today's joy: puttering around getting little things done while the honey bread bakes.
Today's joy: watching an incredible squirrel brawl (featuring 5 of the fattest squirrels on earth) at the bird feeder this morning.. while trying to keep a straight face on a serious video meeting for work.
Right? It's getting harder to live my life with my eyeballs rolled so far back in my head lately..
This is absolutely bananas. The govt said they made their decision to close sites based on ample evidence that they were harmful to communities... Now that they're been called out on that, they need to hire investigators? Right. Right-ooooo...
Today's joy: trying out a new recipe.
Today's joy: it's the weekend, I'm not on call, and I'm gonna spend my time baking bread and painting some window trim.
Today's joy: wearing my yellow hoodie despite it making me look like I've got hepatitis. Also, the guy on tiktok who admitted that he mispronounced 'hepatitis' as 'heppa-titties'.
Today's joy: big fat snowflakes and I have nowhere to be (for a week, really) other than at home in my ratty trackpants.
if you told me the story of Jesus for the first time, when you got to the crucifixion i would be certain that he was going to use his powers as a carpenter to get out of it. that’s why it must have been included
Today's complaint(s): I'm still sick (it's been 9 days), my little old lady cat died (4 days ago), I'm exhausted, today is the first day of my vacation, and I'm really just not having a good time.
Every gift guide for men is like "A flannel flask to hold your knife flavored whiskey."
Today's joy: omelettes. Specifically, my kid's frequent bragging about his omelette-making skills, and his delight at unexpectedly being asked to make them today, on-demand, for patrons of the buffet at the hotel where he works. Omelettes. Yes. Omelettes.
Today's joy: a tin of 'holiday' cookies from Costco that I have slowly been eating - but only the good ones, leaving behind the biscuits I don't enjoy, because I'm a grown adult who can do whatever she wants.

roses are red
my poetry is queer
I LOVED these - and had completely forgotten about them (!)
Today's joy: the library. I've been a steady patron since I was a very small child - and, all these years later, libraries still amaze me. My local library system is phenomenal.
Got my flu vax and my covid booster today. Got a cootie shot from my friend (who went with me to get his vax too) even though I'm single and the evidence on that vaccine is dubious at best. I'll take whatever modern medicine has for me.
Today's joy: introducing my youngest kid (21) to Golden Girls.
Today's joy: my little old lady cat snuggling up on the couch with me.
Today's joy: the Bluejays have invited themselves to Crow Breakfast. My morning was full screaming. Perfect start to the day.
We most definitely have, yes!
Sometimes I (a moron) will post something and then you guys (my moron friends) will like it and I think to myself mmm perhaps I am not a moron after all but some kind of philosopher
Pretty sure this place is the reason I have the ELO song stuck in my head. It's a nice distraction from the ongoing existential crisis, at least.
Oh. This is where all the cool kids are now. And me, obviously.
