Me, a bank teller doing my job:

Man 20 years older than me: I don't know if this is entirely proper... [takes my sticky pad and writes his phone number]. Let me know if you move on from here.

Sigh.

Haven't made it to the store in a week so I had to bring PB&J, apple slices, and a cheese stick for lunch like I'm 10. Shoulda packed it in my Snoopy lunchbox, I guess

I should make this happen to the best of my ability
Remember, you're under no obligation to justify yourself to anyone if you choose to spend the entire weekend reading books, drinking multiple kettles of tea, and indulging in a scandalous amount of croissants.

Henceforth, all interviews with JD Vance should have him perched on a dunk tank* seat and they get to drop him every time he:
- starts an answer with "Look..."
- uses the interviewer's name condescendingly
- says, "The facts are"

* a Nickelodeon-style sliming is also acceptable

Thoughts and prayers for my smoke detector that is blinking red at 12:30 a.m. Of course I don't have any of the right batteries in the house.

Good (?) news: I made it
It feels like a Saturday for some reason and I keep having to remind myself that I have to go to work tomorrow

I have a 3 year dead goldfish in the freezer (look, we're not ready to bury him) and even he would probably know better
agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Why isn't there a Spirit Halloween but for Christmas?

Everything about SNAP makes me so sad. I don't have any real insight other than I relied on it for a few years at two different periods in my adult life.

The first was 2011-2013. My husband was unemployed and we lived in a friend's uninsulated log cabin with only a fireplace for heat.

Any weekend plans?

As part of my personal growth, l plan on doing vast amounts of nothing with deliberate intention.

The annoying morning DJs sort of redeemed themselves today by reading "The Raven" to begin their show. Not a bad way to wake up on Halloween!

It's a good thing that my kids grew up mostly poor so that they get excited about hot dogs and rice for dinner

Oh my gosh, this is amazing
Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

I dropped off a couple of young protesters at the #Olympia #NoKings protest today. Traffic was being directed by a peacock with a "Do Not Obey" frog sign; people were dancing, singing, banging drums; I honked along to the "Hey ho Donald Trump has got to go" chant. Great vibes!
