Woohoo! Successfully got my teenager two “new” sets of glasses for $100 by buying used identical frames off eBay and just switching out the lenses. $ spent of scratchproof coating was worth it! He leaves his glasses random places and the frames get warped, but the lenses are pristine!

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

Leftover comfort food casserole tonight, but because I am a responsible adult, I also roasted some cauliflower.

Sometimes you just need a dinner casserole that is comfort in its purest form: carbs and fat. Vegan chicken tetrazzini with zero healthy modifications other than adding a handful of needed-to-get eaten spinach with the mushrooms.

Neighbor that feeds the community cats asked me for a few cans of food since she was out and couldbt go to the pet food bank again until later this week. I set up a gift Chewy Autoship because dang, she’s on social security and I should have thought about this sooner!

My middle kid’s favorite part of Halloween is giving out candy. So he’s dressing up as the Baba Yaga house and going to roam the neighborhoods, handing out candy instead of waiting here for the few trick or treaters we get. All his idea. He’s so fucking sweet sometimes.

Pomodoro method writing break time! I'm doing my preferred "Just get something on the fucking page" method. It starts with me literally writing "This paragraph should be about <blah>" for all the things I think I need to talk about, and then put in logical order, filling gaps, and link citations

Discovered I can buy used version of my kid‘s glasses frames off eBay for ~$20. His frames take a beating, but the lenses have held up really well, so hopefully I can just have the optometrist swap the lenses into the non-wonky frames.

I had some CSA pears, and needed a home for them. I made this cake/muffins with mango puree (because I had some randomly) instead of applesauce (which i never have). Veganized with margarine and chickpea flour ”eggs.”

Applesauce, fresh pears, cinnamon and spices make the perfect breakfast cake, snack or dessert. Put this simple cake on your must bake list!

My youngest has developed a party trick of complicated mental math very quickly. 5019/39? Took him <10s. His brain is *fascinating* and he’s such a conscientious and sweet kid on top of that! (Thanks Tylenol?)

May have cried a few tears of relief that Xan appears to have gotten through whatever the hell happened last week. No idea if there’s a darker underlying problem that we’ll have to reckon with eventually, but for right now, she’s eating and happy and sassy. For a 19y/o, I’ll take it!

Turns that salmon “gravy” is apparently great for disguising pills too. While she still rebels against the syringe, she then licks up all the spilled liquid (with the dissolved pills.)
