Tfw you hear your neighbor running his snowblower and look outside and he's clearing YOUR sidewalk, just as you were about to suit up and go shovel.
What a fuckin' pal 🏆🏆🏆

Hearing SO MANY emergency vehicle sirens outside from the direction of the larger/busier nearby streets, and feeling like it was a good idea to not attempt driving, not even a little bit, today 😬😬😬
Stay safe out there, folks!

Pondered venturing out for lunch.
Watched a couple of cars driving way too fast down the street in front of my house, and a truck fishtailing wildly as it *very slowly* turned onto this street from one of the side streets.
Decided to stay in and have leftovers. Venturing out can wait for tomorrow.

I'm so sleepy.
Who would have guessed that driving 4 hours each way to eat a big Thanksgiving dinner (arriving back home at 1am to beat the weather) would do that? Truly baffling.

Thanksgiving dinner with my in-laws is tomorrow, so for tonight we actually get to have Thanksgiving dinner just the two of us?
Obvs I am winging the main course with no recipe, and it's something I've never made before.
So far it is an unmitigated disaster, stay tuned 😬😅

Happy Friday-Tuesday to all who celebrate 🎉
(It's me, I am the one celebrating. If only I could stay home for the entirety of this 5-day weekend, surely that would fix me.)

Talked to my mom on the phone tonight for the first time since the election, bc it's her birthday.
It took less than 5 min for her to bring up her political opinions, and, yeah.... That's why I don't call 😞

One of these days, I will get faculty to stop texting my personal cell phone to follow up on work tasks, but apparently that day is not today 😒
(Shockingly, this annoyance is brought to you by one of the people who refuses to use the slack workspace I set up for this specific purpose)
