My now-bad hip hurt so much last night every time I laid down that for a few minutes I thought about going to the ER (as urgent care isn't open at midnight) but after another hour & a couple Aleve PMs I managed to find a position I could fall asleep in. Blergh.

Annual Thanksgiving conversation of "What do you want to do on Christmas?" - my dad suggested we do only desserts. I was not opposed but suggested also some appetizers (cheese and crackers, maybe some French onion dip). Clearly neither of us have interest in cooking. 😆

I love that 37 out of the 54 Pluribus fics are Carol/Zosia. Like, yes totally - but also: how?

Local grocery store website wouldn't let me make an account so I ordered T-giving dinner from a further away store, only to discover upon arriving there tonight that I'd actually ordered from a branch even FURTHER away.
Honestly, I hate Thanksgiving.

I love him. (He is now snuggled on the blanket and rumbling happily.)

I hate cold-callers. No, you cannot speak to my boss. No, we don't want to buy whatever you're selling. I am leaving you on hold until you hang up.

Unpleasant neurologist who dropped me as a patient a few years ago also randomly renewed my handicap placard last month, according to the paperwork and new placard that was in my mailbox last night. Um what? But okay!

I can't decide if Down Cemetery Road is just bad, or if it only looks bad next to Slow Horses. It is moving so slowly that I cannot bring myself to care about what the conspiracy seems to be shaping towards.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

"Is school open? Do you know how much snow is out there?"
1) I drove in it to get here so I do know how much snow is out there, yes.
2) Guys, we live in Wisconsin. If everything got canceled for six inches of snow we'd never do anything from now until May.

Also at B&N the other day, "Take Me Home, Country Roads" was playing, and all around the store I could hear other shoppers singing along. It was delightful.

I have watched Murderbot at least a dozen times now but I still cry every time at the "I need to check the perimeter"/"You need to check the perimeter" scene. THAT is why you hire Dastmalchian to be on your show, let's be real.

The GenKill reddit is so whiplash-inducing. One post will be about ASkars looking hot at the Pillion premiere and the next post is one of the actual Marines from the platoon asking what people thought about the show. 😆

YES, three out of four book club books scored on this shopping trip to B&N (I don't buy Amazon unless there are no other options), plus I saw another book that looked like it might be a good rec for club, AND the employee assisting me said they really enjoyed it!

my student worker called in unavailable again and I was like, if Tuesdays aren't working out - since you have called in every Tues since you started a month ago - we can change your schedule & he texted back "Tuesdays are fine but it seems to be when all my problems happen" & I lost it laughing
