All I can think of as we look towards the holiday is the families of the 27 girls lost at Camp Mystic last year.

I am a non-exempt employee and also the worst about keying my time and I have finally been informed that the next time someone has to correct my time card on the back end that I will be reprimanded 💀

Been hunting for a redwork set of this poem as long as I’ve been thrifting

A year ago I sat down in my desk to a weird email from him and knew in my bones something was wrong and by nine we put the pieces together.

Been a min since I treated myself to finest microwaved garbage there is

Bless it all my groceries survived the journey

Originalists wondering why if the election is in November, inauguration day is at the end of January...

This cannot possibly be an intelligent man.

Checked a bag and made it through the normal security line at Hobby in under ten mins

Absolutely stunning number of y’all flying in shorts

I’m so glad I’m getting out of here tomorrow before they find a way to make me go to church with them again

I have a letter opener with a crystal handle that was Teta’s teta’s

I love my family so much and I am also so glad I live so far away from their religious life

Approximately 80% maqluba and can’t move

Went to Phoenicia and ended up with tahini and grape leaves so I guess I’m checking my suitcase back

Glob bless Texas

82° outside 76° inside why do they live like this GOD

Teta won’t let me forget I’m here for morbid reasons and I’m really gonna miss gossiping with her most of all

*walks into Teta’s and is whisked into the pantry* “don’t you fucking tell anyone where you got this”

Nothing I love like ending up with a free gate check

Property owners can't keep dangerous things off their own property is just a weird thing for the Founders to have thought, man.

I could’ve fit everything for this trip in my backpack but I know I’m going to want to bring a bunch of shit home so I’m flying to Houston tomorrow with an empty carryon 💀

“I’m really starting to think the colors are going to be incredible” yeah no shit I sat there with my color wheel working it out until I felt blind!!!

Not my dad trying to convince me I need to be at Hobby a full three hours before my flight

Court admin keeps giving court reporting subcontractors trial audio without timestamps. So fun when a trial had an Allen charge and we gotta call around for affidavits regarding the length of the deliberations because the transcript says nothing.

Soaked some cherries I needed to use in some amaretto and sugar and threw them with some yogurt I needed to use into a little snacky cake

A week out from the anniversary of my boss dying at work and it’s only been the weirdest year since

By this time on Friday, I’ll be eating breakfast tacos at my Teta’s house

Renewing my passport and noticed my birth certificate has my mother’s name spelled wrong and the wrong date entered for my dad’s birthdate 💀

I’ll never cook a prettier piece of salmon

If I start to get haunted by my late-boss’s ghost, it’s because I’m at both appellate courts hand filing shit in jeans today

Always fascinating to have a happy hour with the support staff at AG’s office and socialize with a whole different kind of person who also has no appetite for true crime

J got flowers for S too 😇

“I feel like a white whale gift for you would be a copy of the transcript of the trial of the Chicago 7” “I have three copies” 💀

Love being married to someone endlessly handy in the way where I can show him a piece of furniture I’d like and he can just build it

The problem with replying to my work email with a phone call aside from the obvious one is that I am not at my desk like that

I didn’t check the schedule and the Astros aren’t playing at all while I’m home next weekend 😭

Anybody have a calpak referral code 👀

Emailed the wrong person “lol” 🥴

Baba is trying to have some privacy about a medical thing that sounds nbd to me but it made my younger brother the most suspicious person on planet earth and now he’s wanting to compare notes so he can ask his physician mother hypotheticals 💀

One of my friends in DR sent me five pounds of fresh coffee last month that I’m very carefully rationing to last a while. Made a pot this morning and could cry for how good it is

Our library funded a Laurie Berkner concert at our arts center today and it was one of the most fun things we’ve ever done with S ✨

Where are we acquiring our big floppy sun hats?

Added a cup of lentils to my not at all authentic chicken tikka masala and I’m never doing it another way again

Four more hours to the weekend and all I can think about is jumping in a pool after work

Executed the impossible task of pan frying a pork chop without overcooking it, burning it or myself, or setting off the smoke alarm

Teta decided to schedule her last rites for when I’m in Houston at the end of the month and I didn’t know we were there yet

Love to notice a hair on my chin after I got to work

Second highest rate of DUIs involving death in the nation and y’all are out here trying to say it’s trial lawyers’ fault that bars are facing record high insurance premiums for the legally-mandated $1mm in liability coverage 🙄🙄🙄

Teta remarked that my Gen Alpha teen cousin with gay parents doesn’t understand the necessity of Pride and now I’m a little concerned that he’s not learning about current events 👀
