I know there are worse things than a head cold, but I have a head cold so I can't think of any.

Well, the last episode of S2 absolutely delivered 100% of the fan service I, myself, was seeking. Off to weep gently for a few hours!

Spoiler: I ended up leaving work at 9:30am and coming home to sleep for four hours. My boss, when I popped my head in her office to tell her I was leaving: "Oh, you got the cold! Everyone's had the cold."

I'm feeling sickly in the sort of way where I know a long nap would fix most of it, but I have to go sit at my desk instead. I do like working in person! I really do! But hybrid had its upsides, including lunchtime naps.

So happy for the people of Hungary right now!!!!!! Still not sure what my country will look like after another three years of this administration, but I'm going to keep fighting and keep voting because... what else is there?

It was 60 degrees yesterday so I opened my office window. I then completely forgot to CLOSE it so it is quite chilly in here this morning.

Can I just quit my job and talk to people about medieval history? I don't want a job in that, I just want to do it for fun while eating meals and going on walks. But not to work. No work, just history and pals.

Thing 1: I am sick with a dumb cold and I hate it. Thing 2: new(ish) job is okay but also I have so little gumption to do any work at all ever that I am nervous I have lost the ability to be productive entirely and forever. Thing 3: I do have a therapist now, finally.

Finished Deadloch S2 last night and oh my god, what a fucking beautiful show. Hilarious and queer as fuck and also it's a cop show that hates cops????? If you like queer shit and don't mind the most creative profanity ever written, watch it.

I worked very hard to eat filling stuff last night (egg-based meal, then nine pm pasta, then a midnight protein shake) so I would not be super hungry before my 2pm outpatient surgery and it is 9am and I am SO HUNGRY, this day is going to suck so bad.

I made crispy shallots the Chrissy Tiegan way (holla, microwave!) and she is right - you must do 30 second intervals at the end because there is only a SLIVER of time difference between not-quite-done and quite overdone. Sigh.

Rec me some good documentaries. (Short series good too.) Something you still think about, or one that gave you Big Feelings, or one that made you irrationally happy that someone made this weird film. Anything from murder docs to Bathtubs Over Broadway, my tastes are wide and varied!

I am so fucking embarrassed to live in a country where we are tracking the success of a war where we have already killed a whole bunch of children VIA GAS PRICES. That is the metric on the CNN homepage?! Jfc, what a moral failure.

I need to go to sleep - my sleep music is on and my screen is in bedtime mode and I am IN BED, and I LOVE SLEEPING, so why am I being weirdly oppositional rn? Is it because of the time change and also being back at work after a week of island vacation? Probably. But COME ON, BRAIN. Sleep is great!

If I was a motivated person, I would spend this unexpected 3 hour airport delay writing fiction. Instead I will probably re-read a comfort book and slowly eat this burrito bowl.

Sometimes I dream about going back to city life (delivery! shows! no shoveling!) and then three pals in a row post about noises their apartment neighbors are making and I think I'll stay in the country for a little while longer. (Sorry pals, hope you get quiet soon!)

In case you're unaware, in the US if you're disabled from birth the only monetary support you can receive is SSI. SSI has a $2k asset/savings limit before they dock your benefits, and marriage cancels all benefits. See below numbers: beyond poverty numbers w/ no allowed addition. Eugenics in action.

Butter chicken is so easy to make, why do I not make it all the time??? Also my lunch tomorrow is a tiny charcuterie with my two favorite cheeses. Also also it's a three day weekend and I have tickets to see an artist I love in Montreal on Sunday, where I will also have poutine. Life's okay.

I have realized that one of the big struggles I have with my new job is that I barely have meetings. This sounded really good at the start, because the last job was ALL MEETINGS but I am an extrovert and being alone in my office is killing me. I need to create work that includes meetings!

Very much miscalculated how much the Tig Notaro EP of Films to be Buried With would make me cry on the way to work this morning - fair warning to all! (Brett Goldstein is too soft for this world.) (I should watch the Andrea Gibson doc asap, but SO MUCH CRYING.)

I think 2026 should be the year I stop being intimidated by recipes that call for yeasted dough. Yeast is not scary! I can master this! I own a stand mixer! My oven has a rise setting, I think! If you have favorite yeasty recipes, send them my way. Sweet or savory!
