Things I want as an aging Millennial-

1. Please GOD forgive student loans. Please.

2. Anything else to run my country.

3. Why does EVERYthing need an app? Why?

4. Y'all. Figure out PDFs and Word. It's only been like 30 years.

5. Do not bring back the ultra low rise jean. Don't. Just don't.

By the way, patriarchy centers men.

Matriarchy centers children.

I've ordered clear acrylic bins to organize crafting stuff in. I have glue, scissors, twine, beads, oil pastels, colored pencils, paint paint paint and brushes, etc. And I can't ever find it to use it... so then I buy duplicates...

I'm done with that life. 40 is the year of craft and artsy shit.

I've been telling Alexa "thank you" after every task she completes for years.

She's recently started saying, "you're welcome" and it's unnerving.

WINTER IN THE SOUTH UPDATE

1. Snack provisions are low.
2. Wine levels are critically low.
3. Streets are still slicker-n-snot.
4. I feel bad doing grocery delivery, so I'm holding off.
5. I am tired of running the faucets at night.
6. I'm tired of negotiating potty terms daily w/ the dogs.

So it sleeted over our snow. So it's got a shell of crunch.
I put the dogs out for their nightnight potties.
I saw these little berries all over the snow.
I picked one up.

It was a freaking rabbit turd. No gloves, nothing--I bare-handed picked up a rabbit turd.

I'll never recover from this.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

So far, just snow. I was woken up by a mildly stressed Spencer... Piggy was refusing to go outside for him.

I had to get up, put her sweater on her, put her coat on her, and then go outside with her. She's such a brat. 🤣

Hopefully we can just hunker inside and it'll just be snow. Just snow!!

In the last 10 days I've plowed through"Fourth Wing" and "Iron Flame" and I'm in "Onyx Storm" now ... I'm HORRIFIED by a character.

It's snowing here. It sparkles in the starlight. I hope it's just snow and not any ice. Please please please

I have a new loaf of sourdough going in my oven

I have chopped all my veggies and already cooked/shredded my chicken for dumplings tonight

I've unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher

I'm so productive but I want to go back to sleep like the feral mammal I am ughhhh

I think we're ready for the weather. We're stocked on the things we like to eat and I have books to read.

Bring on the weather.

(But seriously- please no heavy ice)

After my near death fall (caused by the fatass dog)

I decided to scrub my entire kitchen--including all the cabinets.

It's so clean.

If you wanted to know how old I am-

My first "Southern Living" came in today

I cooked 2 dinners (one for us and one for a family going through stuff)

And I just had my first ever "fall" where we didn't laugh- Spencer came running hollering "ARE YOU OK!?"

(I'm fine. I'm laughing about it.)

Midday check in on my dough (5 to 12 hour rise... we're at the halfway point)

It doesn't look like it rose much. I've drawn a line on the bowl so I can better check it this evening.

I'm so annoyed. And my house is the same temperature at Satan's condo in the 7th circle of hell.
I have discovered a horrifying fact about myself.

I always think "I'll get up early and do that" (for exercising or losing weight activities)

Do I do it? No.

Do I get up early to do food activities? Yes. I'm up early so I can baby my 2nd sourdough attempt and it can rise all day.

I am up.
It is against my will.

The day better prepare for ME.

And on the 86th day of January, I attended work with zero energy.

I'm so tired of this month.
