more than daydreaming about quitting my job, i daydream about quitting my work email.

not michelle trachtenberg on a wednesday. not harriet. not dawn.

being married is just asking your partner if they have cash and they have to give you that cash because you asked and they do. and then you send it to some relative for their birthday and then someday they will ask you if YOU have cash and if you do, you have to give it to them.

the lady at the garden center saw me buying potting soil and a pot and asked about my project. i told her about my houseplant that was very suddenly unhappy and she chuckled and said “yeah they like to screw with you sometimes.”
