finally took my tree down this morning, everyone please clap

sorry but is your minor league baseball team as cool as mine? (alt text for photo: it is a photo of the Hartford yard goats baseball field covered in frozen water)

Minnesota, you should all collectively refuse to pay your federal taxes this year

ok I’m only in the middle of episode 3 of Heated Rivalry so no spoilers please but I’m way more invested in this other hockey player and the smoothie guy than I am in the main two guys like these other two have adorable chemistry??

The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."

not me frantically searching for my car keys in the passenger seat of my car just to realize that my car is still running and I do not have a push button start in my car

it’s January 8 and even the church in the middle of my town still has its bells set to play Little Drummer Boy at the top of the hour lol is it just me or are we all being extra reluctant to move on from the holiday season (my tree is still up!)

is it baseball season yet

this ain’t it, man. this strategy of avoiding conflict because it’ll make the left appear more mature or whatever has never fucking worked. we HAVE to find people to elect who will actually be aggressive about shit.

I have to go to Savannah, GA for work next month. I know absolutely nothing about Savannah but I’m gonna have like a whole day free there. Any recommendations on things to do or places to eat?

went home for lunch one day. food was in the microwave, I leapt up eagerly to get it when it was done. Ran my foot forcefully into the leg of my ottoman and caught my baby toe on it so badly it broke and got stuck bent out of place. I’m getting the heebie jeebies just remembering this.

I’ve always been an extremely consistent Jan. 2 or 3er at putting away my Christmas decorations but now it’s almost the 6th and I haven’t been bothered to do it yet let me just have my pretty colorful lights a little longer!!

in a way, as a graphic designer for print, tools like Canva almost keep me *more* employed because I swear I spend half my time just fixing Canva PDF exports sent by clients who have no idea what they’re doing! 🫠

I do a little volunteer admin work for a local animal shelter and one thing I do is look through new volunteer applications and schedule them for an initial shelter tour you have to be over 18 to volunteer and I was literally just about to deny someone because their birthdate was 1/3/2007

first hike selfie of 2026 for me and my best boy! bonus: I caught Joey at exactly the funniest possible moment.

I painted my nails last night with a new polish I just bought and I didn’t know it was scented? wtf is the point of scented nail polish? now I’m just caught off guard whenever my hands go near my face because they smell like eucalyptus and nail polish

no I separately thought this rule myself too so if multiple people come up with the same rule than it’s law January 1-4 are like a rest up period for the main event which has to start at the beginning of a week

I’ve lived in the east coast for six years now, that’s insane

I have to go to work tomorrow and I think that should be illegal

I wasn’t paying attention so I was using the bathroom when the clock struck midnight. Please let that not be a metaphor for how 2026 goes. 😂

I’m generally pretty good at remembering numbers for things, but occasionally one just never sinks in. For example, I have been mailing a check for my rent to the same PO Box every single month since Nov. 2022 (so 39 times including Jan 2026!) and I still can’t ever remember the PO Box number.

this morning at work I am having to find somewhere who can source a very specific type of custom print receipt paper for a client so I was googling it because none of my normal vendors have what I need….

ok now it’s no secret that I like cold weather but what I don’t like is cold weather with 20+ mph winds

I would just like to inform everyone that while I don’t think Félix will quite make it into the Hall of Fame this year, he is trending upwards with the votes so far at a much faster rate than I expected! I might be stupid, but I’m feeling optimistic about him getting voted in at some point. 🥹

me waking up to go to work today

being from one area of the country while living in another is fun because I have friends from everywhere and my social media feeds are generally people having very opposite reactions to sports outcomes and it’s a roller coaster!

look at how much fun my senior dog has in the snow 🥹

mid 40s and rain tomorrow 😭 why can’t we ever just get snow and then keep it???

Currently sitting on a log in the snow in a quiet forest watching my dog nose around in the snow and chew on fallen branches. I could literally do this all day.

watching stranger things vol. 2 (i only just finished ep. 6 so i still have 1 left to catch up) and I can’t prove it because I never discussed it with anyone before, but I had a decently thought-out theory on what the upside down actually is and I honestly wasn’t far off at all 😎

this certainly isn’t the highest snowfall total I’ve seen since living in CT, but the intensity of the snowfall and how fast it accumulated might be the most I’ve seen since living in CT

my favorite kind of night!! ❄️

the iPhone weather app says it’s going to rain tonight but it’s not going to get above 28 degrees but also there’s a winter storm warning saying we’re getting 5 to 7 inches of snow so I think it’s confused

this particular Christmas gift gave me mixed feelings because I love it but also it might be out of date already 😭

merry Christmas from my dog, who is already making great use of one of his gifts 🥰

this is always my favorite It's a Wonderful LIfe Trivia

Rob Refsnyder is a Mariner? sure why not!

Me this week

why are people asking me for serious work related things this week? just go away. go on vacation. you don’t need anything that badly

Good afternoon and go Griz.

note to bosses everywhere: if you’re gonna do the whole sad little “morale boosting pizza party” trick, the least you could do is have it the day *before* payday instead of on payday if it’s right before then your employees are probably broke and may appreciate the free food more 🫠

at 8:30 this morning it was 55 degrees and raining happy spring, everyone!

Adolis Garcia being a Phillie is a real trip for my brain

every detail I read about Rob Reiner’s death is more and more horrifying

every post is like i bet you didn’t know this absolutely wonderful thing about rob reiner and each one is different

in all this stuff here in the room with us right now

just my dog being so silly 🥰🥰 I swear taking him out into the snow is a soul-healing activity for me.

we did it, guys 🥹 and we had a blast!

the way you couldn’t pay me to use that bathroom

legit didn’t know there was a new Knives Out movie until baseball accounts were posting about a Cubs game on TV in the background lol
