Helpppp I have thought it’s been the wrong day of the week literally EVERY day this week, and today I finally said “with today being Thursday….” on a call with a new client. My brain is cooked

Like every day I just have to sigh

I have won nothing at the cheese raffle thus far. Fair though because it’s always my birthday week and I didn’t win last year either 😂 Been a minute since I’ve done a happy hour so at least it’s about the friends we made along the way!

We’re watching Fallout for the first time and I can NEVER binge watch tv shows before bed otherwise I don’t sleep and lay awake all night. And that’s exactly what happened last night… plus this show has scary monsters.

Caraway seeds are such an underrated ingredient

Last week I was so full of life and energy. This week I can barely get out of bed. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact we got a foot of snow and it’s 10 degrees outside.

I can’t remember the last time we had a blizzard warning! Woke up to thunderstorms, then an ice storm, now a blizzard warning. March in Wisconsin.. always keeping it interesting 😵‍💫

It is insanely nasty outside. Our trees are caked in ice 😰

Can I tap into bug bite Bsky? Something bit me sometime between Saturday and Sunday morning. Went to brunch with a friend and noticed a small eraser head size bruise with an incision, and these pics are its progression on Monday and then today. What the hell got me?!! (Yes my dr is aware lol)

Despite it being a little chilly outside, it’s easy to smile on my afternoon leg stretch when there are robins bouncing through the yards and signs of life emerging in the landscaping. One day closer to my favorite season ☀️

My in laws are in Hawaii for a Kona storm and a volcanic eruption. They are never going to take our travel advice ever again 😂 (Seriously so happy for them though. They are big National Parks people and I’ve been so excited for them to go!)

March 8 was celebration of 1 year seizure free 🎉 After 15 years with no seizures, they came back to remind me that epilepsy is still an unpredictable disease. My life now exists in two segments: pre/ post medication. I’m on meds for life, but grateful that my condition responds well to treatment.

The F35s taking off at the airport next to my house feel a lot more sinister when you’re country is in a meaningless war

What an absolute stunner of a sunset to open up daylight savings

My brain on Friday night when I have literally ANY plan before noon on a Saturday:

Well ‘twas a boring storm but a storm nonetheless and so for that I will be grateful. I guess I can go to bed now

Being a woman in your mid 30’s is so bizarre because I toggle between having the time of my life and feeling so loved to the darkness of “do my friends even like me?” What is this nonsense truly how do we make the self doubt stop 🫰🫰

I went to the pharmacy this morning and heard a woman ask for the price of her prescriptions before deciding if she could take both home. I obviously don’t know her story, but it has had me upset all day. I hate it here so much.

I just realized I went through the car wash last night with my back window partially down. How’s everyone else’s Friday going? **Yes I got a car wash in rainy weather. I needed to get the salt off and it was the first time I saw KT without a line okay

Today’s tornado risk took me a little by surprise! Madison is bumped up to the 5% risk with tier one of hatch. The new SPC patterns for hatching show this as EF2+ plus should anything catch on. Could be a spicy day in tornado alley and beyond! Keep an eye on the weather!

The real ones know. Wakita was spared a direct hit, thankfully.

Have you ever been sick for so long you start wondering if you’ll ever actually be healthy again? Currently on week 3 of this and I can’t tell if it’s still residual COVID or an entirely new illness. But I’m OVER IT.

Thinking ahead to summer weekends, I want to go 2020 with it (without the pandy ofc.) All I need is a good spot of sandbar, a sunny day, good company, a full cooler and stocked campfire wood. No other obligations. No place to be. Keep it cheap. Keep it cute. Keep it in nature.

NOON WEDNESDAY TORNADO DRILL IN MADISON! Tis the season!

I’m just laying down on the couch with my silly little Conner O’Malley sketches trying to disassociate from this insane reality we’re living, mad at myself for looking at the news. At least my cat doesn’t know what’s going on. She gets extra treats tonight.

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

Woke up this morning following a dream where my friend who passed a year and a half ago had visited. It set the tone for my day. I’m equal parts happy I got to “hang out” with him again and heartbroken. I don’t process grief well. What a funny thing it is.

It is absolutely mind boggling how expensive the most basic of groceries are now like we’re a DINK household and I’m still flabbergasted

Reason number 3738476 you can pry WFH from my cold, dead hands: Today I spent my lunch making a big healthy batch of lemon turmeric orzo with lentils and my stomach is happy. Yeah right will I ever go back to an office where I have to spend $14 on a salad 😤

I stg everyone I know is on a cruise rn and I’m just raw dogging WWIII

March is TODAY?!?

It’s always the ones with the dusty, cheating, manipulative partners who are always going on about how they have gods gift to man at home.

We haven’t even booked our hotel for a few days in Kauai later this year, but I sure as hell did book the helicopter tour to land at the Jurassic Park waterfall. It’s called priorities 😂 🦖

I read the craziest Instagram comment that said people who travel don’t love themselves and they are using travel to fill a void. Like, what?

Wait Netflix please buy the rights for Detroiters and force Tim and Sam to give us another season

This is so minor, but my last job was 8-5 and this one is 9-5 and holy cats what a difference that one hour makes. If I want to sleep in? I can! If I want to just spend the morning with my thoughts and a nice cup of coffee? I can!

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The one big thing I forgot about working in marketing is researching a brand prior to a call and immediately getting served ads for said brand. The ads I’m getting served are all over the place 😅

MARCH IS NEXT WEEK?

How have I, at nearly 36, never had jury duty?

It’s on me because I’m not going to fork out more money for another streaming platform… but my god YouTube livestreams are unwatchable with ads. I have the Kouri Richens trial on the background while I work and there’s ads cutting in every like 5 minutes. So greedy of these mega corps

As someone who’s currently powering through COVID it’s crazy to me there are going to be kids who didn’t live through “COVID”

I wish the people I loved would step away from toxic men ❤️

I’m scared to say this because it’s only been two weeks but… I really like my new job. I love being back to doing not only what I love to do, but what I’m good at. Everyone is so nice and actually is interested in you as a person? I’m having culture shock.

Why does every product now have added protein? Protein sodas? Protein popcorn? Pasta + Protein? Is this a MAHA thing?

AI is out of control. Friends and I are doing our annual ice golf event this weekend and the place putting it on was assuring people the ice was 18” thick still, so it will be safe to be out on it…. This was the summary it gave me 😭

I keep going to book our ten year anniversary trip. Have the flights in the checkout. …then I panic about leaving our 15 and 14 year old cats for fifteen days and abandon cart 🥺

I’ve officially crafted my algorithm to cover Stones Bluesky now and couldn’t be happier. Thanks for reading this important update 🫡

It takes a lot to leave me speechless but I am sitting here like 😦🥴😵‍💫

Now that I’ve been WFH for over 5 years I will never, ever go back to an office. HOWEVER, my one qualm is the amount of time I spend talking to myself during the day. It’s concerning.
