I think there are a few of these in my town…

We’re having thunder snow and lightning today, which is so cool. ❄️⚡️

Went to the store for holiday groceries and came home with a bunch of outdoor Xmas decorations. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am now in possession of the Little Debbie tree cake light up blow mold. Let’s get festive!

I’m supposed to be Xmas shopping, but I’ve bought 2 different advent calendars and an advent coloring book. Ope.

Ordered several pieces from the Anna Sui Old Navy collection at 2am due to insomnia, like the elderly millennial that I am. It was giving Delia*s vibes.

I did a thing today. Been thinking about getting a Halloween tattoo for a couple years now. It’s my favorite holiday. 🖤🎃

Anyone else working from home today and just eating way too much Halloween candy?

Enjoying a Spekto Cooler while cooking dinner and waiting for trick-or-treaters!

This is completely on brand for 2025.

This evening’s special feature: House of the Long Shadows! www.imdb.com/title/tt0085...

Beetlegoose! Beetlegoose! Beetlegoose!

Trying to get in the spooky mood. 💀

Bumble bumble bumble on the October toad lilies.

Sometimes you just need to eat spooky nuggets for lunch on a Monday.

So flipping cute, I had to get her. Love the green hair!

Well, today was *gestures widely* awful. Here’s something sweet: When my alarm goes off in the mornings, my Melvin kitty jumps in bed with me to be little spoon and give cuddles. He knows he’s gotta support my dumb mental health before work. He takes his job seriously. 🥹

Was planning to try to get a COVID booster and MMR booster this weekend, but the universe gave me the flu instead. *sad trombone* I guess that’s what I get for leaving the house the past 2 weekends.

Well, I had like 7 days of relief from back pain. Then today, I bent down to reach something and *felt* my back just fucking give way. And no pain relief works on me so far. Such a bummer.

That feeling when you get back to your hotel at 12:15am after a paranormal investigation, and you realize you forgot pajamas.

The highest of fashion. No regrets.

The Dr office called this afternoon to schedule a chest CT. I acted like I was totally coherent, but I was out of it. Folks, I have no idea when I scheduled that 😆 I’ve gotta call them back tomorrow & pretend I “forgot to write the date down.”

Trying to fall asleep. I had a spinal steroid injection this afternoon. It went well, and now the meds just need to take effect. This afternoon it was full body sweats, and now I’m having a fair amount of hip and leg pain tonight. Fingers crossed that I’m not too miserable tomorrow!

I think I have reached “can’t remember if I took my pill” years old. Ladies and gents, I am 42.

Well, I would have liked to go to the state fair this year, but the heat index is +110. Fuck climate change, for real.

I had such a bad pizza experience at a national chain this evening, that I actually answered their survey email to tell them how bad it was. Do you know how bad you have to be to get a millennial former restaurant worker to leave a complaint?

Cute lil gremlins. #proofofcat

I’m sorry, WHAT. www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/m...

Mixed up some quick beer bread and popped it in the oven on my lunch break. Yummy beer bread to celebrate Lammas. 🌞

“no problemo” i said, despite my various problemos

I regret to inform you that the mini Dr Pepper cupcakes from W*lmart are, in fact, delicious.

Jeremy is the health influencer we all need. Unbothered, eating healthy, horny, ungovernable.

Tell me why 2 rings I have worn repeatedly for years have suddenly caused an allergic reaction, and my finger is now an absolute itchy, fiery mess. Ugh, boo.

Trying to subtly do PT stretching in the back of an auditorium while listening to a demonologist give a presentation… (at a haunted/paranormal conference)

Alright, sleep goblins. Ya gonna let me sleep tonight?

Sweet moment between Cleo and Melvin. She normally ignores the stinky boys, but she allows this sometimes.

WTF, MATE?!

Midwest problems: Sitting in my house without power or WiFi because a tornado hit my town. And yes, the neighbors were out videoing the funnel cloud on their phones. The memes are real.

Robbie Williams and Tom Hiddleston both coaching the England team for Soccer Aid. My 17 year old self and my current self cannot handle how cute this is.

Watched Sinners tonight. So. Good. A few observations: Love the realistic depiction of rootwork and conjure-women. I would really like to see more of the Choctaw vampire hunters. And all I could think during the vamp singing scenes was…he’s a fucking fae. That’s some fae shit right there.

I purchased a tiny couch scratcher for the kitties. They will definitely continue to scratch the actual furniture.

This poor weatherman. 😆 Illinois problems, y’all. #ope

Melvin being really, really, ridiculously cute-looking. #proofofcat #caturday

Going to run a no-makeup errand to the grocery store, so let’s see how many people I run into that I know.

Okay, wish me luck as I attempt to shower, run errands, and mow the lawn. 🤞🏻 I’ve been so sick for a few weeks with respiratory crud that I pinched a nerve in my back. I’ve got try to get caught up, even if I still can’t bend my body.

Oof, so sick and trying to fall asleep. I caught the respiratory crap going around at work. Unfortunately, I’ve coughed so hard that I’ve pinched a nerve in my lower back.

Last night’s watches were the OK City Bombing doc on Netflix and Talk To Me. So accidentally a bummer evening. 😆🤷🏻‍♀️ Talk To Me was good though, if a little light on setting up the premise.

Ran out of my usual allergy med and had to take Benadryl last night. Hoo boy, the nightmares were wildin. The Hat Man must’ve been feeling creative.

This evening I realized that Homicide: Life On The Streets is streaming now. Guess who is starting a rewatch!

When you need to call the plumber because of a drippy shower, but you don’t want to because that means you to have to clean the whole dang house before they arrive.
