"What do you do when you can't do nothing, but there's nothing you can do?" "You do what you can." - Huey and Robert Freeman, The Boondocks; 'The Hunger Strike'

"Costco pizza is the GOAT. Argue with the wall or your mama about it if you think otherwise."

"If your girl isn't down to shake some ass in the lighting aisle of Home Depot, regrettably, she may not be the one for you."

"If your girl isn't down to shake some ass in the lighting aisle of Home Depot, regrettably, she may not be the one for you."

The restaurant that Ruthie does deliveries for has a policy which states that if a customer never claims their order, it's fair game, because wasted food is also wasted effort and money. It's only happened a few times, but Ruthie and her friends ate some good shit on those nights.

She's got this waiting at home after she's done working.

🍽 Let it be known that if Ruthie ever bakes for you, she WILL go all out and bring you some quality shit in the name of friendship.

"Seen. Happened to my older brother once. Happy birthday, though!"

Theme of house cleaning

"This weekend was shit from a butt. My favorite ice cream place was out of vanilla fudge swirl, one of my shirts shrunk after my brother did the laundry AND there was no dodgeball game on Sunday! Fucking weak..."

"Thank you. Luckily, my family is pretty big, so I got a little experience with spoiling the younger ones. But now I get to be auntie Ruthie, and the kiddo will be totally new! Fresh baby scent and everything."

"It's actually been kind of a blast." Proud beaming, perhaps overly so, in the moment. "I'm a first time auntie!"

"Enjoying my day off, mostly. At current, on a break from helping my brother put together baby furniture."

Cue a laugh as Ruthie rubbed at the back of her neck. "So, besides that bit of fact stating, what's up, your highness?"

"But yeah, on topic: Women, indeed."

"Sorry. I try not to make much noise, if I can help it." Habit from her childhood.

"...That shocked to hear someone agree?"

"Very true."

Not working this weekend. Gonna be helping her brother put together baby furniture.

Some of her collection.

"When someone says 'bless your heart,' what they really mean is 'fuck you.'"

"That's definitely gonna be plenty, then! Oh snap, wait -- Can I get some to drop off at home for my parents and my brother later? But only if you got enough for that!"

"Yo, holy shit - this looks like five-star stuff! If I eat like three or four bowls of it, please don't get mad."

"Real shit. Sea salt ones are good, too."

"What flavor?"

"Despite all my rage, I am still just Nicolas Cage."

"I feel inspired today. I'm gonna take some of my favorite stuff that I've got on DVD and rip 'em onto VHS tapes."

Sticky.

They say, "She get it from her mama" Mama say, "You got it right"

Up with the sun and already getting started on making breakfast.

"The one good thing about leftover Thanksgiving food: If you get sick of eating it as-is, you can get pretty creative with it." Exemplifying her own words as she eats a turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing sandwich on toasted bread.

House Komatsu is abuzz with activity. Ruthie in the kitchen with dad; mom on the phone confirming which relatives are dropping in tomorrow and who's bringing which side dishes; big brother hauling stuff into and out of the basement.

"Looks like I'm gonna be on pie duty for the big dinner this week. Time to put options together and see what the family is feeling the most."

"Fair enough. But what you're neglecting to consider is the fact that it doesn't have to make sense to YOU for people to have a good time with it. Plus, like... you sound like such an unnecessary sourpuss with all that "it's annoying." Pretty sure you do annoying stuff, too. Everyone does."

"Mom made Nana's chicken and dumpling recipe, let's fucking go!"

"Like, let's not forget there was a period of months where the big meme was just the letter E."

"Still an overreaction. Some shit is just cringe, man. Willing to bet even you've had moments of it, whether you realize it or not. Me, though, I thrive on cringy shit. Fun's fun."

youtu.be/JYIaWeVL1JM?... The inside of Ruthie's van often sounds like this

"That feels like an extreme overreaction to something harmless, my guy. Sure, some people can wear a thing into the ground, but yikes."

She's gonna solo at least half of this, if only because the rest of the family needs to eat, too.

Spent the day organizing the workshop with her mom.
