Oh, and if you have someone in southeastern Virginia that you would recommend (and who won’t try to talk me out of a heat pump) my DMs are OPEN! 🤣
I’m looking for quotes for HVAC install and emailed one sole proprietor based largely on his website being slightly amateurish in a very likeable way (and highlighting heat pumps in a way that implied that he wouldn’t try to talk me into keeping the gas.)

The minor bits of enshitification are always demoralizing.
Today’s disappointment is Wendy’s, where a combo with a baby fry, 4 nuggies and wee burger is exactly the amount of fast food I want.
They’ve swapped what had been a nice crunchy leaf of lettuce on the burger for shredded trash. Gross.

My wife’s mom just texted to say happy thanksgiving and actually addressed her by her name, for what seems to be the first time ever, and I can’t decide if I’m mad that it took her so long or just glad she got there eventually.

I have to be up in ~5 hours to start peeling potatoes, and I’d gotten to sleep in fairly short order, so of course I was woken by absolute caterwauling from Scottie, who was mad that we weren’t in the hall with her? Sleeping self seems to have categorized this as EMERGENCY, because now I am AWAKE.

I came to work today, but if I actually accomplished anything by it remains to be seen.

Finally getting around to listening to @jasonschreier.bsky.social’s Play Nice, and the description of Bobby Kotick when he’s introduced is *chef’s kiss*
“In truth, he came out of the womb ready to generate revenue for shareholders.”
I nearly spit out my water laughing at it.

I’ve figured out what is bothering me about the new transmog system design. It feels like they’re treating the mog Outfits like bank slots, with escalating cost: fine if it functioned like a bank, where moving things in and out has no cost. But this is more like “Void Storage, but make it Transmog.”

Does anyone else have an exceptional amount of trouble differentiating between “cleaning” and “organizing”?
I struggle so hard keeping the former from devolving into the latter, and when I do manage it, I then have trouble feeling like I Actually Did A Thing, because all I can see is the disorder.

Y’all, I cleaned the office yesterday and the bedroom today and I can *almost* imagine not living in utter squalor again some day.
Of course, the work week starts tomorrow, so have no fear, I will be disabused of this notion shortly.

I was evidently deemed, “nice and fun to play with and color with” in unsolicited comments from my nieces this weekend, so the rest of the world can’t tell me SHIT today.

I’m generally anti-HOA, but I think if I could find a neighborhood that banned gas powered leaf blowers, I would make an exception.

I’m tired and I don’t feel well, can I skip my allotted workplace ruining today and just do some stuff?

The restricted words for naming characters in WoW baffle me sometimes. I (a warlock main since Wrath) am still salty about losing Metamorphosis to demon hunters, so I wanted to make a timerunner DH named Thiefling - but apparently words begining with "thief" are restricted. Is it a slur somewhere?

I want to watch Mamdani's speech from last night, I keep hearing it's a banger, but I am obsessed with finding out what's in this box that they're not allowed to open for another 26 minutes.
Came home to an extremely intriguing package on our doorstep, hi hello? 👀 (Shall we open it on stream tomorrow?)

Ok, I cleaned the kitchen, folded the laundry and started some rice for dinner…
Now I have no energy and nothing to distract me from election obsession and it’s not even 6 yet.
