Watching The Departed. Almost 20 years since it came out. Wow. It’s such a good one.

Little bit o 🥃

Oscars opening with some heavy Sabotage works for me!!!! #BeastieBoys

Off fucking cigarettes for 6 whole months today.

Big things about to happen at Tedeschi Trucks tonite… Pic from my friend Dan. #tiger

Lindy was back at the local paint store again yesterday - we go pretty much every day for guidance and products. The new girl working leaned over to her and said… “I see you coming in here all the time and I want you to know you’re killing it.” 🥰 We moved to a really good community. We feel seen.

Sporting our Ireland rugby jerseys this morning. ☘️

Kinda fun living with someone who observes lent… cause we are having homemade lobster rolls for dinner!!

If you’re a moe. Or Umphrey’s fan and can get to Chicagoland to catch them at Ravinia… I highly recommend. It’s a really neat venue. Bring dinner.

It’s takes a whole lot not to just give up.

I love the sound of rain.

Washed a bunch of walls and ceilings today. Tomorrow we prime. It will all be worth it. It will all be worth it. It will all be worth it. And on we go.

New dinosaur series on Netflix is fantastic. Highly recommend.

Work on the house? Or 🍄?

Welp. I’m exhausted.

We are going back to the house to keep working today. It feels like it will never ever end. Just trying to take it one step at a time. And not let it kill me.

CharlieDog stopped wanting to walk about a week ago… he doesn’t seem injured or sick. He might be scared of something in the neighborhood. Idk. Just what we need. Dog stress.

The oldest turns 22 tomorrow. Hard to believe. I miss her so very much. Adult kiddo relationships are complicated.

Sweet. Eclipse visible from inside the house.

All borrowed and rented equipment for a sunny ski day! First time in 10+ years. Gotta say I love this east coast mountain - dare I say more than Colorado… yes I do dare!! ⛷️ ☀️

There was a lotta pizza plowing on run #1… but I made it. ⛷️

2 Bloody Marys yesterday and now I’m headed north for a ski day! Should be very interesting. I’m proud I made it into the car.

Omg I can’t believe I might be excited to try skiing again tomorrow. FU Colorado and your crazy pricing. Yay for my new state.

Should I fucking try to ski again tomorrow???!!! Help. It’s at Gore Mountain….

Having a damn Bloody Mary. Cause fuck it all.

You call them pajamas. I call them clothes. Fuck off.

I had two yummy martinis at the local bar tonite and they hit JUST RIGHT. I don’t get silly buzzed often and when I do I have a good time. It took a lot to post this. Just saying

FUCK YOU PHISH Aren’t you rich enough YET??!! You can’t even give us one second of a chance at good seats for actual face value. You just HAVE to exercise your GREED and go straight for platinum - when you could PASS on that on behalf of your fans who fucking got you here. We might be breaking up 😡

Oh look!!!! More snow! Yayyyyyy ❄️

Wow

I had a good chat with the 20 year old back in Colorado. Oh my goodness I miss that peanut!! I hope we get a visit soon!

Apparently the Northerly Island venue is on fire… I smell an old fashioned Chicago insurance scam.

Goddamnit…. The dog is refusing to walk. Something is up. Oh Charlie what’s going on pal??!!

Ahhh!!! There’s the snow! ❄️ What’s a little more when we’ve had over 110” so far??!! Everyone go have your best day!!

Karma.

I’m not up for being ranted and raged at by that rapist pedophile tonite. I had too good of a day.

Nature IS spectacular!! Jackie and Shadow lost their 1st clutch to ravens earlier this winter. And here they are giving it another go!!! So much can change in just a month. Don’t give up hope.

Finally made some serious progress this week. Floors? Chosen Cabinets? Ordered and paid for Countertop? Chosen and paid for Appliances? Ordered and paid for Paint? Chosen We are gonna get this this damn house - in about 3 more months!!! Huzzah!

NOT watching the SOTU because I already KNOWWWW is good self care!!!

A shower can be a major reset. I’m grateful for a safe space, my loved ones and hot water. The stuff that really matters. And on we go…

I enjoyed the whole morning, and actually the last two weeks. 🥇 Reality looms.

Mmmm this Bloody Mary has a dill pickle, blue cheese olives, a lime wedge, and shrimp. Yum.

The man of the house walked the dog and is now making the ladies breakfast Sammie’s while we watch hockey… it’s a good day to be right here.

I just called hockey “ice soccer”… that’s how it’s going.

At least there’s weed.

Oh look. More snow. Awesome.

At least there’s weed.

Taking your person for their first colonoscopy is modern day love.

I can barely imagine next week much less end of summer.
