Me, talking to a coworker about the shots I got Friday, "Oh, yeah my arm still hurts" and accidentally pushing the shirt up to see the the sand dollar sized red spot still there. "Annnnnd that's probably why" (I live in a dark cave at home usually so hadn't noticed till I was in office lighting.

I wonder what Tom Holland thinks, if anything, about the fact that his performance on lip sync battle has become a universal timeline cleanse on social media.

As foretold by ancient prophecy.

If we create out own gods, I, who is not Christian in the least, have probably created “jesus fucking Christ” from the sheer number of times I’ve grumbled his name under my breath

Ah the…” looks drunk but I really just had my contacts in and my allergies are nothing me” brand in typos

The beer I just got tastes cold with a faint malty note at the end.

I feel a bit better that apparently none of the rest of the family went to my cousin’s wedding either. Her fault for planning a wedding when two aunts are terminally ill and nobody likes the woman she’s marrying

Reading with my contacts in, these days, makes me feel for people who read much slower than I do

How is that a tiny pin prick and a bit of fluid injected into your arm means your arm is going to ache for say?

I am getting flu/covid/rsv vaccines(which I'm not remotely old enough for but I guess because I have asthma? If they say I can get it I'm currently, 'yep, put it in my veins' when it comes to vaccines right now) so I expect to feel absolutely terrible tomorrow but I have nothing I HAVE to do.

There's a game that's been supposed to be out for YEARS that I've had on preorder for that entire time at Amazon that now has an official release date. Amazon just cancelled my order, presumably because it's more expensive now but now I'm not buying anything from Amazon so...their loss.

Today has been me running in many circles but at least I just found out that Final Fantasy tactics just shipped.

Grr. Have to meet with a faculty that tends to go on and on. Also haven’t leave at 4 today to make an appt. Said faculty is now going to be 20 minutes late

Do I need a 400 dollar waxed leather jacket when I mostly wear hoodies and have too many of those? No. Do I want said jacket. Very much so (I am NOT buying said jacket but I drool at it now and again)

I sometimes hate my brain. Struggle to get much stuff done this week and now because everything is time critical fox goes zoom.

Humans may be horrible and the country falling apart but at least the world is still pretty.

People are now swinging by work potlucks with the sole reason of having a bit of the things I made.

Dear windows: Please stop 'helping' by attempting to make windows full screen or tile them if I'm not expliciting asking you to do that (I'm aware some of these settings can be turned off but I'm on a loner computer as they fix the screen on mine and I can't be arsed, thanks)

I’m too nice to my coworkers

Debating doing something fun with my nails for Halloween. I normally don't bother because I have zero interest in doing anything other than keeping them short enough not to scratch myself usually.

Dear company: one of the fastest ways you can lose a sale is my hopping on your chat thing to say that the website isn't working and telling me, "Oh, weird, just call us instead" I do not want to call you. I've been in meetings all day and have no words left.

Dear person in a dept. that I know doesn't have a robust training program. If you tell me I did something wrong you need to provide back up that somewhere, something changed between when I did it & now. (yes, I make mistakes but I vividly remember having to break my template to follow the rules)

Happy Rapture Day to all who celebrate 💋

If the rapture had actually happened we would have lost a great many sour, judgmental and downright mean people (according to them anyway) and the world would have been a better place :-p

Dear brain: I don't really want "The morning of the dragon" from MIss Saigon stuck in my head this morning. Please cease and desist.

Ah the joy of being wrist deep in gross sink water trying to figure out what jammed the disposal

Cooking and cleaning for seven hours is easier when it’s not hot.

Not my best effort but it’s okay, I guess

Ah, being a baker where, when you’re on a roll, it’s very easy to talk about how many pounds of butter you’re using.

Many dozen ginger snaps done

Gingersnaps now in the oven. My friends are lucky i love them because it's really too warm to do this much baking.

Managed to get five dozen cookies done and batter for another type done during lunch today (that batter is better if it's cold so I'll bake those after work)

We want it this way.

Dear universe, I could be making cookies instead of looking at numbers and surely that would release more joy into the world but I could only do that if I was independently wealthy right now. Just in case you need some hints.

No of course I wouldn’t have to talk myself out of making four desserts in a weekend! (Reader: I totally did)

All of this is an interesting read but that last paragraph is especially fantastic.

It is hot today and I just want you to know that summer is bullshit and y'all are lucky my name isn't Jadis.

I, amazingly, haven't been hangry at anyone yet today given that I skipped breakfast because I wasn't feeling hungry with the intention snacking when I got in the office and immediately got busy and forgot. This does explain why I have a headache though. Lunch is ordered at least.

I rarely use strong chemicals (other than bleach) cleaning but my bathroom floor was feeling a little like it had build up so I got some pinesol. I had forgotten how intense that bloody smell is.

I have a deck of urban crow oracle cards that I have on my desk that I generally start the week by drawing one because it amuses me. Today I drew "Grief" which was a bit too on the nose oracle cards :-P

I very much like leaving for work when it's dark (and honestly coming home when it's dark) Sun is for weenies ;-)

Me on listening to the song “dance hall days” by Wang Chun. “I see why I don’t remember this song. It’s very…song”

You’re getting stream of consciousness posting because I made a tactical error and wore my contacts and it’s too dark to read in the bar but as a child we thought the height of comedy was singing “hit me with a wet snot”

I’m at a bar for dinner and they have random videos on (I thought it was super retro but now it’s ‘Genie in a bottle’ and I had forgotten how fucking hot George Michael was and how tight his fucking jeans were in the ‘faith’ video

There need to be a furry music video to “carribean queen’ since most of the song it sounds like they’re singing Caribou queen”

Blessings of light switch dick wonder woman upon you and yours this night

Things not really on my plate for the last work day of the week-reorganizing the storage closet on our patio. But I needed a bit of bubble wrap and things fell out at me when I was trying to get it. I really do get more done in general out of irritation rather than duty.

Difficult choice but this one gets me every time

It has already been an absolutely fucking exhausting week and I don't anticipate that's going to get any better given...
