Heat dome Dome of heat Dome of misery

I made breakfast and was carrying my plate through some moving chaos to my couch since I don’t have a kitchen table right now. I lost my balance and my plate tipped over, spilling everything, including my coffee, to the floor.

Cheers to my first night as a solo resident of my house. I am very anxious about living by myself again, so I bought this pretty new sparkly wine glass at a thrift store for $0.50 to boost morale 🥂

Watching a Hallmark Christmas movie, and perfect timing for a chaotic week. Have yourself a merry little half-Christmas! 🎅🏻🎁🎄☃️

I don’t know who needs to read this, but yesterday was summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Starting today, the days are getting shorter. Fall is coming. Merry Christmas.

I highly recommend taking long drives on back country roads through rolling hills in the height of June when everything is green and bursting with life 💚🌳🌿

I am damn good at my job, and while this week has been filled with a lot of bigger challenges & I feel like I handled them well & that makes me feel really confident and strong… ….I also just want to go home & turn off my brain & let someone baby me for the rest of the night.

If you happen upon a long, empty hallway that has been prepped for some sort of construction work with a tarp on the floor, you are required to do your best catwalk. Those are the rules. Security guy, if you read this, I hope you were entertained.

One of those days where you pull into the driveway and just sit in your car for 20 minutes before going inside

Sometimes I’ll put task reminders on my calendar days or weeks out, thinking, “I don’t need to put in more details, I’ll remember what this means!” And then I’ll see the notification come up later, and go

Highly recommend taking a quiet sunset stroll on a cool evening, stopping by a church and singing goodnight to Jesus, and then watching fireflies come out to dance on your way home. What a magical way to end the day🥰

Probably the main thing I’ve learned in my 30’s is that the older you get, the more a neck crick absolutely wrecks you

Wine and movie night, AMA

Who would like to move to The Shire with me? Please state your hobbit profession below.

My new intern forgot someone’s name and tried one of those tricks people use to subtly ask what it was without actually asking that: Intern: Can you remind me, how do you pronounce his name? Me: Intern: Me: ….. Brad.

I feel like early June is too early for a heat advisory?!

Morning

Me: Lord, I’m so tired of worrying about (personal stuff), please, can you help me so that I don’t worry about those things anymore? The Lord: *lots of fires at work* Me: …. let me rephrase that….

Dark adoration chapels are such fantastic places to cry

I made a Dune joke in my gamer chat and no one got it 😭

Where should I move? Definitely want to migrate norther, open to suggestions.

You’re telling me a chicken fried this rice?!

I was 7 minutes late to Mass, and because there was no music and all the readings are super short today, Father was already wrapping up the gospel by the time I walked in 😂

Who will be my roommate? Will except proposals of marriage as a long-term solution

Y’all, The Brave Little Toaster is a LOT darker than I remember

I was the last one to leave the office today, so I chose a dramatic exit. “That’s it! I’ve had it! I’m done! I’m not coming back to work for 2 WHOLE DAYS, so there!”

I am not having a good day. Office girlies who are not having a good day get to buy a bucket of ice cream and eat it whilst hiding in the supply closet. Those are the rules.

What do you mean, I’m supposed to go back to work tomorrow?

Fresh rhubarb crisp, still a little warm from the oven, over ice cream 😋

I’m eating Sad Bacon. It’s sad because I bought it on sale, and now I can taste why it was on sale. This is incredibly unAmerican on a day like today.

Should have stayed at the lake! Life is good at the lake!

Sandy. Sunburned. Content. Highly recommend spending a beautiful day on a peaceful lake with people who love you. What a gift.

Okay who’s up for whiskey and Catan?

It’s just me blasting Teenage Dirtbag and my giant cup of full caff coffee against the world. Happy Friday, fam

I don’t often make blue box mac & cheese, but that was the only thing that sounded good for dinner. Except the only butter I have in the house is Kerrygold, and using it for this has to be at least a venial sin, right? Like, this 4TBS of butter cost more than the entire box.

WHY do student loan sites make it so difficult to log in? Are they afraid someone else is gonna go in there and pay them off? PLEASE LET THEM IN.

The good: Getting sent home from work early The bad: To hide from tornadoes Please pray we all stay safe 🙏🏼

Midwest dilemmas: Do I find a parking garage to wait out the storm and avoid the softball sized hail coming our way? Or do I go home and park on the street but at least there’s margaritas?

Storm is shaking the house hahahahaha

From the desire to get another streaming service solely for the purpose of having access to the full Yellowstone franchise, deliver me Jesus

When you’re a grownup, you can just put a lil scoop of ice cream into your breakfast smoothie. No one will stop you.

Happy Ascension Thursday to those who celebrate.

Running errands on a Tuesday afternoon is such a delight. No traffic. Plenty of parking. Not crowded. The other people out running errands are super chill. Nothing like the madness after work and weekends, this is amazing.

Out running errands: Me: Gosh I feel awful and dizzy, what is wrong with me? Also me: *hasn’t eaten since lunch…. ….yesterday.*

Today’s babysitting challenge: Stop the baby from going straight to the kitty litter box every time you close your eyes to play hide and seek with the older kids

I love you, coffee

They’re gonna send the virus people from the boat to quarantine in Nebraska lol Oh good OH GOOD
