today would have been our 21st wedding anniversary shit sucks

just heard the British pronunciation of 'inventory' for the first time

oh hell yeah

appreciating every kid that climbs to the top of this filthy snow pile and grabs a giant chunk to throw at a grownup

walking across the bridge and telling each passerby that The Mothman Prophecies is a Christmas movie

my cousin just bolted out of the house yelling that she had to go judge an electric light parade so that’s why I’m standing out here in the freezing cold

the office bought donuts for everyone today simply because I had never had donuts from their favorite place before, can't wait for next week when I tell them I've never eaten lobster in Chicago

I’m so glad I only had to do this twice

one of the neighbors put up a tree where all of the backyards meet, not sure which night the ritual sacrifice takes place

when I was driving to get lunch the warning bell for an unbuckled passenger kept going off for the front seat and I just know it was Chris's ghost cheering me on

I regret to announce I will keep buying Grinch Meals until I get the green socks

had a very nice first day at the newest job

was the only person in the theater this morning for Zootopia 2 and I enjoyed it and then I almost wanted to cry at the very very very very very end but saw an usher patiently waiting for me to leave the auditorium so there was no private time for a mental breakdown, thank you

You are not fooling anybody

he’s singing for his supper

last dragon update bc it’s almost completely dark out

snow dragon update

A light dusting so far but there’s snow on the dragon

first round of salt trucks came through, snow isn't expected to start for another 9 hours

watching the Nuremburg movie with Lithuanian subtitles, thank you PLEX

no explanation

New Knives Out movie is good

this is the year I'm gonna get these knit

I *just* found my handknit mittens bc it's supposed to snow like crazy on Saturday but I know I need to make at least 3 backup pairs now that I'm in Chicagoland

it's never a bad time to boo at cops

fucking unhinged Thanksgiving Day parade commercials

I'm grateful for the movie theater up the road that has matinee pricing of $6 in these trying times

lol this is so funny #survivor

It should not be this dark out at 4pm

Just sat in my room (the only room in this house that dogs are not allowed) and shredded 3 pounds of bread for tomorrow’s stuffing. Very zen activity.

keli, maybe just make 6 deviled eggs instead hey fuck you

but also what if I make deviled eggs and I'm the only on who wants to eat them, then I'm stuck with eating 24 deviled eggs before they go bad and I'll spend all weekend waking myself up with the smell of egg farts

I am going to my cousin's house for Food Day tomorrow & I am now panicking that they won't have deviled eggs but also I will not ask if they will have deviled eggs bc that would be rude of me so now I have to plan to make myself some Black Friday deviled eggs instead but it's too cold to buy eggs rn

eyes rolling to the back of my head, breathing slows, vocal fry mantra begins ~*~*~*~ OSH KOSH B'GOSH~*~*~*~

the hardest thing for me right now is as a day winds down I feel like I'm waiting for something to happen and whatever it is supposed to be doesn't/won't/can't #widowlife

got dismissed immediately after putting in my two weeks notice, which I understand, but also lol gave me time to go into Costco during "executive' hours and get everything I need to make stuffing and grab a massive pumpkin pie

started a new job today and accepted another job today

In a brightly-lit corridor, you spot an enchanted tube of wood glue (immune to pine damage).

113, and yeah I need it since this year has been one of my worst

an hour before I left my job for good on Friday my coworker slid me a post-it note with her phone number and asked me to let her know if there are any job openings where I'm going and I when I got home I texted her immediately with a place I knew was hiring and I hope she gets it

In the seventh turning hour, will the victims' shadow fall? Should the irony grow hungry With the victory and all they sought for We were one among the fence One among the fence

hello from two dogs who hope I accidentally drop some food for them

will never doubt that this actually happened now due to my undiagnosed Scrolling Cancer

Nick Offerman looking like a well fed cat, bless him

blessed by PLEX pals that made it possible for me to view Death by Lightning

8PM on a Friday night and I'm getting an email from the owner of a company where I turned down their job offer and they want me to provide more information about why I did it, like please sir can this wait until Monday and wow did I dodge a bullet

seeing this haircut again and knowing if I get it means I'm completely unhinged

Sméagol is freeeeeee
