It’s almost like everyone at work is unaware that I’m finished for the year in 3 business days and that every problem they bring to me is officially a January problem.

Using my own tools & my own design, I built a fireplace mantle to cover up the existing brick mantle from the 70s that I’ve hated for the last 14 years. I even trimmed it out to enclose it & appear like a solid beam.

Basically, I’m a master craftsman.

There is no professional horror quite like being on a video call with your BIGGEST vendor while drinking coffee and realizing mid gulp that you’re not using your plain, white coffee mug and instead, are using your FFFfffuck coffee mug.

Only 9 business days left of my work year. I can do it!

Well, maybe I can do it. I have doubts.

About to enter the 5th circle of hell (aka Walmart) on a Friday night without my emotional support adult.

Send thoughts & prayers. Better yet, bail money.

My sister & I went absolutely feral* on our Halifax weekend get away.

*If feral means PJs by 5pm on Saturday night, then eating 2 gummies, Dominos, and watching 3 consecutive Hallmark Christmas movies in the silence of your hotel room without so’s offering their film critiques 😂

I was all about getting away for the weekend until I realized I signed myself up to be the driver and didn’t invite my usual chauffeur.

Apple fitness Running would be much better if they included video. Run Madrid? No visual of your route- just guided audio talking about the route. Thanks- I’ll stick to YouTube when I want some adventure running from my treadmill

To whoever has been running the leaf blower for the past 4 hours straight while I’m math-ing and forecasting - please stop and take a break. It’s a matter of your personal safety at this point.

“You’re taking 3 weeks off in December. You can do this!” She whispers as she wills herself to roll off her couch and walk the 10 steps into her office.

I am she. She is me.

Does anyone own a Cozey brand Ciello sofa or ever sat on one? I need an honest, unbiased review. So far, I can only find reviews from Canadian influencers who were gifted couches…

Today’s Mantra:

I do not need a Burnese Mountain Dog. I do not need another GSD. I do not need another Golden. My vacuum cleaner will simply pass away if I bring home another long haired shedder.

But wait- what if I just bought an even more powerful, industrial vacuum to add to the fleet??

Now every time I go to Costco and successfully get into my own vehicle (on the first attempt)- I buy myself a little treat.

I got up super early to work a couple of extra hours because I inherited a role with a lot of bad data. I’m still sitting on my couch trying to will myself to actually work. I think the couch is winning.

Being in the World Series is exhausting so I hope my work is understanding of my lack of performance for the next 2 days.

I do not feel that my coworkers are sufficiently excited about what went down last night. So today, I will be taking 5 minutes out of every meeting to recap it for them.

Panicking because it appears my Illy instant coffee is being discontinued so now I’m probably going to die without it.
