I’m working late today so I went to Costco at 11 and I certainly will not be going back there before Christmas even if they were giving it away. Wow.

The older I get, the less I care about holidays and things? Like why buy a bunch of plastic seasonal crap and put in so much effort. I am against consumerism these days and don't want to contribute to landfill core. I just want things to be simple and easy.

I never checked the weather, and I was super unprepared this morning. I couldn’t find my scrapers and I used a broom in a sundress, but I’m on my way.

I’ve had a super busy, social weekend and my brother invited my mom up for blue rodeo tonight for her birthday and surprise! The only hours of alone time I could carve out for myself tomorrow is now mom time! Mom is staying at my house, because little brothers who are almost 40 are still brothers.

Not me being 42 and trying to learn to food budget. I already only buy what’s on sale; in season and I shop around, we don’t eat a lot of processed food so how am I supposed to know a reasonable food budget for two six footers who like to eat a lot? Do I include my two dogs who like to eat a lot?

I never have any sound on my
Phone and often don’t know where it is, so I will pick up my phone and see the alerts. I thought even if you won’t have sound on they made sound?

I don't want to hear about Temu, I don't need Temu to show up on my Reddit, or Instagram. I don't want to spend money on unnecessary, mass produced crap made by low cost labour in China, but like there is no way out? To use the Internet you must see about Temu?
