That's not me in the morning, but definitely me once my day has started. My brain is like an antique lawnmower. Sometimes it takes a while to start, but once it gets going, it's unstoppable (and if you leave it unattended, there's no telling what will happen).

Welcome MMXXVI. Too bad I'll still be writing MMXXV on my cheques for another 4 weeks.

McDonald's gave me a Filet-O-Fish instead of a McChicken, so I went in to exchange it. On my way out I said, "Merry Christ Year!" So, yeah. How'd your 2025 end?

I've seen examples of this across various demographics, including gender, country, culture, sport, and more. Is there a pattern, or am I seeing something that's not there?

☕️📖 Nothing like spending a cozy morning curled up under a blanket with a cup of tea and a book on my lap to keep me company while I endlessly scroll my phone

Sometimes when making breakfast I'll leave the cupboards and fridge doors open and then close them all with kicks and punches pretending I'm Chuck Norris. I know I'm not the only one who does this.

I just picked up a prescription, turned to leave, and walked head first into a plexiglass divider by the cash. At least six people witnessed it. Anyway, I need to find a new pharmacy now.

For me, one of the hardest parts of being a teacher is trying to write a note to send to the office that actually looks like an adult wrote it.

Well, holy 💩, this was a much needed boost. She didn't care for the Known Order Girls Cover, but said, "...the writing is just killer." Excuse me while I ride this euphoria for a few millenia.
