I lost. I complained too much and I must buy her a tattoo. She's going for a thigh tat of the Witch King Of Angmar

Please come by during our operating hours (7a to 5 p) and play along: if i whine more than 5 times I have to buy my coffee manager a new tattoo. In addition, however unpolished we might be, we will officially be opening on Monday the 15th!

Allright all! I have been given permission to say: Friday we will be doing a practice run so we can practice making sales etc. Drinks and merch will be discounted, so long as you don't mind listening to me cuss as I attempt to froth milk.

Apparently I'm supposed to do businesses things and not go on about shed mice. We'll, what the hell, I never figured out the hashtag blethers anyway

Also, my eldest, out of pity I think, is volunteering to take over the social media for our shop. She is an extremely good and kind soul, so when I tried to tell her about the adventures of Scribbles the Shed Mouse, she went very still and blinked a lot. I then knew I fudged up

I got utterly destroyed in Yu Gi Oh today til I remembered to strategize against the player and not the cards. I won one with my shitty deck and I feel glorious

Awed/grateful for the people I get to meet. First was the brilliant key fob lady: a critter and plays dnd. Second was two warm and gentle souls who agreed to play yu gi oh with me. I don't care if I get whooped. I get to pIay! I didn't realize my dream would lead me to so many wonderful people

After a row with my book manager: a vent. Every single person on this planet has a staggeringly complex web of personal connotation and denotations informing their thoughts and speech. Why the FUCK would you think I'd automatically know yours and berate me because I don't???

I have two go to comfort movies. The first is Midsommar and the second is Last Holiday. This probably makes me cuckoo for coco puffs but I dinae care

Man, someone is going ham on the laundry. Its a chill and cloudy wintery night but all I smell is dryer sheets.

I call the second mouse Sqonkers because he squeaks like a rubber duck. He doesn't come around much.

I gave Scribbles his thanksgiving 'plate'. He loved it. But wouldn't ya know, cousin Squonkers wanted it too. Sorry, Squonkers, but Scribbles is first in my heart. I told them both to stop fighting, and they did for a while. Even mice have thanksgiving drama, apparently.

Thinking of making a 'plate' for Scribbles the Shed Mouse for tomorrow. Thinking a cracker with a teeny bit of cooked plain chicken, flaxseed and a little peanut butter. He was mad at me today for not giving him his churro con rueda.

Scribbles is well, but winters pall has me in my morbs. I looked it up and wild mice only live a few months. One day, I'll put down his favorite, a churro de rueda, and I won't hear him munching it with the sound of a hundred mice. Memento mori for a mouse

Scribbles is well. I was a bit worried when he didn't take his latest treat, but he's back and making enough noise for 20 mice. In other news, we open soon! Though I now have the dubious experience of getting a two star review for not being open yet. I mean, how do you even respond to that?

Scribbles is doing well and we passed our last inspection! Now we must learn what all the buttons on the POS do

I anticipated a few things when setting out to open my own business. I did not anticipate the two dozen new types of taxes that I previously did not know existed.

Scribbles is apparently a huge fan of churros de rueda. He just demolished a wheel of it, and is presumably sleeping it off

Bigwig is the Han Solo of Watership Down.

I call my main shed mouse Scribbles, because the noises he makes sounds exactly like a quill pen on paper. He is very loud. Not sure how he hasn't been eaten yet.

Im literally talking to the mice in my shed that are fighting like they can understand me. Yet every time they anger squeak, I can't help myself and say "guys!"

I think i finally understand superstition. I want to say we are close to opening, but am scared that if I do, the universe is gonna smoosh me flat, like 'bish, you thought what?'

Puffcorns are packing peanuts with flavor on, and I just hoovered a whole bag into my maw. Delicious

"Don't wanna shop 'sandwich ' at 2 ish am: a slice of pre cooked bacon in a slice of American cheese

It has become abundantly clear to me that I will ignore any post that isn't on Discord. Those interested in my shop please go to discord.gg/HvEKSbTm because I am absolute green donkey balls at keeping up on any other platform

Not even open yet but my coffee manager is getting rando solicitations from mccoffeeshop guys. If I wanted a franchise, I would have bought one. God knows it would have been easier than what I'm trying to do.

Also, I got a couple machine. I still have insomnia but the air is really nice

Insomnia makes my thoughts trend weird. Example: i was suddenly reminded of being quite disappointed that my team members didn't like Robusto cheese like I do

Hey everyone: we got stalled for several months trying to get completed drawings for the city, but that is finally done! (I HOPE) Now waiting to hear back from the city, and I sincerely hope we can start moving again and get construction done!

My book manager is bringing me a satchel of Brautigan!

Real question. I have semi obligated myself to make my neighbor a Yule fritata. Do I go wacky and attempt an eggnog fritatta or stick to a more traditional one?

Y'all, business progress aside, take care of your backs. I threw mine out all the way to the 9th circle of hell four days ago and I'm still not ok. Backs apparently control most of movement. I'll be OK but damn. Take care of your back!

Things finally moving again! Back of the shop looks terrible but our sign is going up!

I should update, its progress? The shop now looks like an archeological dig. I have learned about pipes, sump pumps, and how the kilowatts of a water heater can make your day or fuck you over. That said, I have an utterly amazing team on my side, who are kind, knowledgeable and just plain awesome

I haven't been so great with updates, and I apologize. A bad insomnia jag hath me in thrall. However, things are looking good! Construction has started and I found a good local supplier.

Update: I have a contract for construction and running it by some very smart people so I don't make any silly mistakes. Please keep sending good vibes!

For anyone showing up to the protests around LA this weekend, please bring supplies. Paper towels, milk, water, snacks, and any extra masks. Wear protective gear like helmets, goggles, full face protection, and heat resistant gloves. The tear gas canisters are hot and will burn

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, stickers, compression gloves, artist gloves, binders, wrist braces, compression socks, skorts, compression leggings & more! Store details below!

Two things: i am so very grateful to have so many Furry followers, as your art eases the horrors of the day. Two: i think ima gonna buy Sinners. Vampires and the blues? I think i gotta

Menopause for me: has been like this: you're fine. Nope, now you are a rotisserie chicken. Nope, now you are colder than you have ever been. Nope, now you're crying at videos and wanting to murder people who chew or blink loudly. Oh, and pernicious insomnia and your favorite foods hate you now

Hey what if for pride we shared and funded trans people’s mutual aid and fundraisers? Neat, I’ll go first.

Exciting news! I have secured funding to get the construction redone! I admit, I am afraid to be too excited, as I have had the rug pulled out from under me too many times, but I got cash in the bank, babes! Please continue sending good vibes and I can't WAIT to open!

Won't be in shop to do goodie bags today, finally have lender documents to review! Trying to get my financial guy to review them so I don't make any more big mistakes. Send good vibes! Will be in tomorrow

Gift baggage done for today, the storm is rolling in, however I'll be in shop 10ish to 2 ish the rest of the week. Come see us (and watch me get whopped at cribbage)

Hey everyone: if any of you are in the area of my shop on Wednesday the 28th, I will be giving out little goodie bags to boost the Go Fund Me and meet people starting at 11a. The address is 1740 South Buckley Road, Unit 9, Aurora, CO, 80017. If I have bags left over I might do Thursday too

I really wish I had anchovies. Sorry for no updates, but am trapped in liminal space. Please send tinned anchovies or pictures of liminal spaces. Or both, really

Casting Call! Nerds With Dice is raising money for the Trans Justice Funding Project a 48 hour marathon June 20th, 21st, and 22nd. We have 12 games that need players. Sharing is appreciated. #ttrpg #castingcastingcall forms.gle/k2cwBzAwsFvC...

And while I'm at it, hate is really stupid. It's a terribly inefficient way of using energy and time.

Signing off for tonight. Warm thanks to all who reached out to help my understanding tonight. Please know you are welcome at my shop, if we get to open. I'm giving everything for it, including my house. There will be no hate here
