Making hair potion, house smells like rosemary, clove and lemon peel. So fuckin cozy.

Found my favorite Swatch of all time. I can't do quartz watches because I get so annoyed replacing the battery every month, so here is a pic from the Swatch website, pretend this is on my wrist all day every day:

Dreamed I heard the distant chimes of an ice cream van playing "Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms." When I ran outside to hear it better, I was out in the countryside, alone, and that is better than a hundred ice cream vans.

NOP NOP, who's there? Ten blank bronze medals made in China, a bunch of Land's End apparel, three bundles of small bags of vanilla creme chocolates, and a pair of kids' Air Jordans.

Be an outsider, inside.

Today we had two orders of shirts a customer returned because they all had holes worn in the left elbows (why is this inexplicable coincidence happening?) at work, two road/vehicular mishaps on the way home from work, and

Everybody stay safe out there, look both ways, keep your wits about you.

I miss hanging out with my yard. Went out to put the hose away, came inside with so many goldenrod, aster and milkweed seeds stuck to me. I guess the yard missed me too.

My new band, the Paper Swatches

Laundry: folded Benefits: enrolled Power: pointed Math: answered Dishes: washed Cats: fed Lunch: packed One hour of weekend left, time to get high and watch Sailor Moon!

Fairouz is in the habit of clawing at my blankets, clothing or face when she wants me to get up and prepare cat breakfast. I dreamed that I could make her stop by selecting myself as a layer and turning off visibility.

Ads for Pizza Rolls interrupting my Criterion experience on Tubi.

The Moth podcast Halloween episode, story about the couple moving in to the creepy old house with the even creepier attic... Anyone else know exactly what was going on in the attic way before the reveal?

Freddie Purrcury will be spending the day in the couch blanket, her social secretary can take a message for you.

Found out the rik rak cactus was blooming when I went to bed and the stairs smelled magical.

Great day in the round room. Saw two red squirrels eating and frolicking in the hemlock tree outside the window. All the customers were decent. Felt really on top of things for the first time in a while until the nasal decongestant wore off.

I keep talking about doing a little newsletter where I can share updates and recipes, but for now all I have time for is work, school and Plant Party.

We now need two forms of ID (a credit card counts as a form of ID) to buy generic sudafed.

Apropos of nothing.

Into mischief

Looks like somebody earned a ✨little treat✨

Four hours of sleep, belt near the dock is making Eraserhead noises, sudden craving for the specific bread and margarine my grandparents ate... What other wonders lie in wait today.

Being into cocteau twins is so embarrassing, wym you're obsessed with a song called calfskin smack

Gatorade mommy summer is over, it's time for cool lady on the first floor fall.

Attempting to screen record for my (nerve wracking) tech presentation and the sound of Fairouz clawing at my thigh is clearly audible in the recording.

Autumn afternoon light

Utterly imposs to make the bed today.

This past week was a month.

Old job come back to haunt me:

I think I should be allowed to knife fight my academic advisor. I figured out how to make working radio buttons on an interactive pdf, as assigned, all by myself after she wasted half an hour of class trying to show us, failing, and being a massively uptight control freak in the process.

Work x Donna Summer collab

*** the moon ***

But doctor... I can't believe I have to go to the doctor because I gave myself a gross itchy rash around my eye from crying too much.

I love graphic design but after the interactions I've had with the head of the department, who is also our academic advisor, who also teaches several GRC courses, I want to change my program of study immediately. [Sent from my car where I'm sobbing with rage and so sad I want to puke]

Watching Eraserhead for the first time since idk, 2005? Photo classmate said our teacher had hair like Henry Spencer, so I rented it. Didn't notice all the portals. Makes way more sense now.

Recipe for the pancakes I make all the time and eat with my hands, no condiments, just holding a misshapen disc like a forest creature: You will need a little crepe pan, a crank style egg beater, one bowl and a fork.

Happy 20th to that time my friends met me before I met them:

Weird day medicine

Dreamed I had to take a bus to a large city to meet my parents. Weird hotel. Left to go somewhere, got separated. Walked past a Doc Martens store, went in to try on the shoes I think about but cannot buy. Salesman was one of the security guys from work. Really bad at his job. His manager wouldn't

Giving my friend a ride this morning and they got so worked up they started rocking but it was dark so I couldn't tell what was going on, I just thought there was something very wrong with my car, like the fuel line was about to fail on the way to work.

Need a long sleeves bodycon mini dress with 15 mmHg compression to wear under my clothes at work because my skin aches so bad in there like aaaauggghhhh all morning

Everyone is inside and there are plenty of cuttings to give away. These are just a few which fell off or I had to prune to fit in the house. DM or comment with questions, I can probably mail them too.

Who wants these free chairs, I never use them:

Crying absolute rivers after noodling around on the internet and being reunited with a band I liked when I was 19, who happened to have reunited just for a few gigs this year. Talk about water in my eyes, damn.

This outfit looked so sharp in the first floor bathroom mirror but anything looks better than the bathroom.

Little nephew is against jail

Ladies at the work party made me dance on the water bottle

Donating my panties to the United Way silent auction because I care about helping those in need.
