I'm currently working full time 9-5, doing part time/freelance bits, writing an 80k word book in nine months and parenting a toddler. And the ONE thing that has tipped me over the edge is: yesterday my child wiped his snot onto his hand and then smeared it across mine. Too much. Too far.

i feel like every psychological horror or thriller stars a modern jack torrance look-alike where each male lead is actually auditioning in real time for future roles needing "a young jack nicholson"...
"think young jack nicholson" might actually be a genre type 😑.

it's becoming a ritual now, my making of an entire pot of coffee every morning only to drink less than half a cup and yet the pot sits warming on the stove until evening... this is indeed a waste (& at these prices 👀) and yet... im still deeming this an ancestral practice.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
