Once in a lifetime or a sign that I need to figure out? Things that ran out at the same time: toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, body wash

You’ve got a few days left to get your annual National Parks pass without Trump’s face on it.

Meanwhile on TT half of us woke up to this ad.

Walked out my front door & interrupted squirrel & cat having a debate. The squirrel turned to me and told on the cat. I nod my head & look at the cat who is taking a few steps back. Continued to the sidewalk as the cat lays down. When I return, the squirrel retreats from inspecting my front door

Supposed to be cold tonight and temp was ok today. Still turned on the AC because humidity in the house was over 70%. Already back to 67% now. The heater likely won’t kick on tonight. Looks like time to see if the dehumidifier I bought years ago after hurricane damage is still hiding in a closet.

Watching this thing and laughing out loud and how ridiculous. Think I’ve reached a new level of coping with this. How can someone be like this.

Found a 1 inch piece of metal piercing the bottom of my slides. Just started a new movie marathon in honor of not being in the ER

The Bill of Rights was ratified on this day in 1791. For the last 105 years, we've defended those rights, alongside the entire Constitution, and we aren't stopping any time soon.

Not so jolly now, is it holly? 🌱📸📷

Watching Cloud Atlas. Think I’m going to need to break it up over the week.

Best work Holiday party ever..almost. It had potential. #1: I had a flawless reason to not go with no guilt #2: I was included in the group chat that had some funny and some drama. Shame that once it started the chat stopped. I wanted to option to read live text takes

Trifecta: took a nap on each of the 3 nappable surfaces in one day.

Have to wait until it’s just right to recreate grandma’s recipe

Anybody know of any good Christmas-themed indie books?

Why you fix mom’s favorite dish: Remembered that I had a toaster that barely worked and never used so threw it away. I’ve been using my air fryer to toast. As I looked for the hand mixer for its annual use, I see a toaster. Exclaimed: “I have a toaster!” LMAO Guess I forgot I got a new one.

She moved on to the same trash can left out for her last week.

Is she a slow eater? WTH could she be chewing on this long that’s not big enough to see? My imagination is bones crunching but for this long? I just want to ask what’s with the loud chewing? Is it giant peanut butter jar

Shhh Everyone be quiet. I’m listening to bear crunch on something. She’s laying down about 40 feet away. Bushes and darkness are hiding her from camera right now

I never once knew where this was going and pretty sure I would run a different string every time I experience it

Things that have started glitching in past 2 weeks and age: air fryer (3yo), coffee pot (6), TV (40), watch (6), fridge (8). Found a sports watch, with correct time and date, at least 10 years old that i stuck in drawer because it was too bulky.

Today I’m hosting a race between my coffee pot and the identical new one I bought a year ago (because, the future looked bright 🫤 and my pot was older). If I can wash the new one and run a full pot before the old one finishes, the new one may move to first string. High stakes.

One of my clients has an unusual driveway. Today I saw the driveway, waited for someone to pull out and then I parked and went to the door. The client has had various family visiting with pets. Rang the bell and knocked, no answer except some medium-large dogs coming up. I called

The Fabulous Baker Boys seems like a prequel. Didn’t really enjoy ~85% of the music

May have to turn on the heat before hurricane season is over Dam

Heard voices out front and peaked outside. Saw 2 sandhill cranes walking by. I choose to believe they were having a conversation.

My mom was talking about Peter Thiel, but her tongue got twisted and she accidentally swapped the opening consonants and it came out sounding like "Tater Peel" and I think I'm going to call him that from now on.

ChatG is so cute. Made a radiology joke saying goodbye.

Just opened a new bag of dried kiwi and thought I got a whiff of alcohol. Now I’m not sure if I should be worried or excited. This week on Master Distiller: kiwi moonshine

First look at ACA marketplace insurance: Not nearly as bad as feared but a little worse than last year. My subsidy is about the same Last year was bad so saying not much different isn’t really good. *This is Florida, non expansion state. **Have never qualified for highest level of assistance.

Happy Halloween everybody!

Musical take down of the perverse version of Christian nationalism that has been draped over Republicans like a shield to draw in supporters. ^ I never Said That (red words) JoshM -written after Jen read the Bible and received maga hate in return youtu.be/FtJZoBgSfvA?...

For Halloween, I review Ray Bradbury's 1972 classic THE HALLOWEEN TREE. ruinedchapel.com/2025/10/31/b... #booksky #HappyHalloween

It's almost time!

I try to avoid negative self talk but still find occasion to call myself a dumb ass. I have given grace on this one because 1) I’ve usually just done something to deserve it 2) my brain immediately turns it into Dumas. Alexandre that is, and I replay the scene from Escape from Alcatraz

Why are you tired? Well on Halloween eve I heard a noise that pulled me out of drift to sleep. Then more noises. Went to investigate. It was just wind blowing porch and acorn rain. But then I saw a shovel left out from earlier. As I brought the shovel in, I noticed a small snail hitchhiking. Had

Update 2: I was able to change a light bulb in 2025. 💪 After the Friday fatigue and pain subsided, was able to order appropriate bulbs from the evil space overlord sight. It is bright but closer to the ‘well duh you replaced a burned out bulb than the ‘flood the house with anxiety producing lumens

Took a week to watch Terms of Endearment again. Internet lists as a 1983 comedy. Maybe comedy through tragedy. Maybe it’s just too real. It’s genius and awful. Love and hate every character. Laughter, frustration, tears. Maybe it’s like a classic I resented being forced to read but ended up liking?

Logged into the marketplace and the first message is DACA is no longer an eligible immigration status. This is going to be fun

“Apparently, you could just broadcast anything in the 1970s and people would watch it.” - Can confirm

Update: went to store and paid more attention. Purchased soft, warm lights. They don’t work at least in these outlets. Leaving it in because I can’t take the lumens. Hopefully those other 2 20 year old bulbs don’t give out until I move because I’m done.
