Ok, but next year, I really will read the books I’ve already bought before buying more. (I definitely will not)

Over here squinting at the tiny font on the list of addresses for the postcards I'm writing for the D7 special election, and B offers me his reading glasses. Suddenly, the tiny print is bigger. WHAT MAGIC IS THIS that I'm just discovering on the last night of my mid-40s?

One of my newly-minted 18-year-old's friends gave him a pack of candy cigarettes for his birthday, and he's having a fine time gesturing with them, like he's living his best 90s-era slacker life.

I have come a long way from my “i refuse to pay for parking” days but giving over nearly $50 for six hours is egregious.

Infuriating that last-minute ladies like me have to resort to wildly expensive shipping to get fleece when we used to have fabric stores locally.

I, a fully formed adult, just poured peroxide in my ear so I could extract the ball from my cartilage ring, which popped off the ring and got stuck deep in my ear canal, like i'm a toddler. I've been tucking my ears since I *was* a toddler, and I guess these rickety hoops I have now aren't suited.

the worst part (i hope) of changing jobs is picking new health care plans. I've been super spoiled with very well-priced and covered tech plans. Now it's like "new company's expensive AF options" or "B's weird AF vanderbilt three-tier options". Is it stupid to have two HDHP plans? it's all stupid.

This morning in scrum, I said "Thursday! Y'all know the worst thing about Thursday? We're just that much closer to Monday." So that's where my vibes are right now.

I love imessage reactions, but lately I have been replying to a text, then going to react to their message only to react to mine instead. I do not notice this until later, so I look like the kind of person who loves her own messages. And while internally, YES, obvi, I would never externally do so.

Flying home tonight but we are returning to the gate because of issues with the seatbelt sign and they want a mechanic to look at the issue. Like can’t we just all agree to stay seated?

I know a lot of bad things are happening at this very moment, but I went scuba diving on Saturday, and my jaw still hurts and won't open properly, making it very difficult to eat my feelings about the state of affairs.
