GPS trying to figure out Lower Wacker like

Always and forever

Extremely yes

This is a daiquiri with truffle-infused rum

Update (I submitted the Iron Roses one quoted below)

@pseudochamp.bsky.social just sent me this and it's incredible and also I hate him

Oh noooooo I'm SO bummed, there's a ton of these left after the party! What a tragedy, whatever shall I do? 😁😁😁

Sending a colleague an email to ask them to please respond to the question I sent them on slack 3 days ago, because fml

Ready for the holiday gathering/potluck at work Most of my colleagues don't deserve millionaire's shortbread, but something something holiday spirit, grumble grumble 😂

Just finished a 34 min phone call/lab prep request with a faculty member who didn't even text before calling, and who asked if I had a pencil and paper handy to take notes on the list of things they need for next week, and now I feel like I've done enough work for the day can I please go home?

Hands down the best thing about the fitness app I'm using is the way it summarizes workouts:

Snowshoeing today was very nice.

Snowshoeing through the woods is my happy place ❄️🩵❄️🩵❄️

The snow this morning is NOT good for packing - super powdery and crumbly (it is very cold outside) - so @pagnificent.bsky.social I hope you will accept a very smol snowman that I packed with my bare, ungloved hands 🌨️☃️🙌🥶

Who needs to go out in the snowstorm when you already have everything you need to make creamy pasta alla vodka? 🤤

Tfw you hear your neighbor running his snowblower and look outside and he's clearing YOUR sidewalk, just as you were about to suit up and go shovel. What a fuckin' pal 🏆🏆🏆

Hearing SO MANY emergency vehicle sirens outside from the direction of the larger/busier nearby streets, and feeling like it was a good idea to not attempt driving, not even a little bit, today 😬😬😬 Stay safe out there, folks!

I like where this is going...

Pondered venturing out for lunch. Watched a couple of cars driving way too fast down the street in front of my house, and a truck fishtailing wildly as it *very slowly* turned onto this street from one of the side streets. Decided to stay in and have leftovers. Venturing out can wait for tomorrow.

I'm so sleepy. Who would have guessed that driving 4 hours each way to eat a big Thanksgiving dinner (arriving back home at 1am to beat the weather) would do that? Truly baffling.

I'm home safely from travela, and I have eggnog to make lattes. I'm ready, let's fucking do this!! ❄️❄️❄️

Well this winter storm warning is not convenient for family visit/driving plans 😬

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've been to: Green Day Red Hot Chili Peppers K.Flay Rage Against The Machine Bad Religion/Social Distortion

And dessert!! LOOK AT IT!! (We are absolutely not touching these bars, as they are for tomorrow)

Ok, so, despite needing a lot of practice on the part where I roll up the roast... This is *fantastic*, holy shit.

Thanksgiving dinner with my in-laws is tomorrow, so for tonight we actually get to have Thanksgiving dinner just the two of us? Obvs I am winging the main course with no recipe, and it's something I've never made before. So far it is an unmitigated disaster, stay tuned 😬😅

Short break from cooking to actually sit and relax for a bit 😅

And I didn't even burn the meringue 💅

Starting dessert prep... This smells fantastic already and it's just lemon zest and juice

Update: cheddar scallion cornbread stuffin' muffins

I baked a lot of cornbread today and then destroyed it. (Tomorrow it will become stuffing. It's gonna be so good...)

You've just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you. (😮 HOW DARE, MAX WOULD NEVER!)

How many weeks into to a new lifting program before everything stops hurting all the time? Inquiring minds want to know 😭😭😭

Happy Friday-Tuesday to all who celebrate 🎉 (It's me, I am the one celebrating. If only I could stay home for the entirety of this 5-day weekend, surely that would fix me.)

Talked to my mom on the phone tonight for the first time since the election, bc it's her birthday. It took less than 5 min for her to bring up her political opinions, and, yeah.... That's why I don't call 😞

One of these days, I will get faculty to stop texting my personal cell phone to follow up on work tasks, but apparently that day is not today 😒 (Shockingly, this annoyance is brought to you by one of the people who refuses to use the slack workspace I set up for this specific purpose)

Well that's...something 😂 Wordle 1,619 2/6* ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Trying this recipe for dinner, and y'all it smells fucking incredible in my kitchen right now 😛

Mornin'

Caturday naps 😻💤

Happy Negroni Friday! (Is that a thing? If not, I'm making it a thing.)

Amused @pseudochamp.bsky.social tonight by explaining in great detail how much I enjoy drawing fabric folds and textures. Hopefully he doesn't think I'm a weirdo 😆

There are few things in my job that I love more than getting an email from a former student updating me on all of the things they're doing, their challenges, their wins, and how they're figuring out their lives and career paths. It's just so good 💛💛💛

Good morning 🎶

Quote post with you being a hottie in a dress (if you feel like it)

Every day we're hitting new PRs in the "holy fuck I do not want to do work" category

Fucking up some turkey chili with black beans, sweet potatoes, and a bunch of smoked paprika, ancho & chipotle chili powder

Ok, but also I think this one could turn out REALLY good

Every damn time

Actually a really nice day for a swim, and I'm home while it's sunny, so... 😁
