New Year’s resolution: get back to writing despite having no faith it will lead to anything. I should still get my ideas on the page so it’s not stuck in me brain anymore.

Me: ow. I bit my tongue again. I keep doing that this week.
Husband: It’s my opinion stuff like that is evidence we’re in a simulation. How do you suddenly start biting your own tongue or repeatedly stub your toe? You need a patch. Your software needs updating.
Me: 😂 You’re drunk.
H: And very high.

My mother asked if I could make an Eagle Feather Protector 🪶 for her. My first crack at one. It’s a bit crooked in spots but I learned a bunch. 🤗 #Sacrit #SewingProject

Watching a movie with a hella confusing baking montage. Clearly no one involved has ever baked.
A woman slices apples, no coring or removing the seeds. Then she rolls out dough. Finally, she open the oven door and pulls out a… tray of plain muffins. W. T. F?!?

It’s raining… on December 7th! We should have 3-4 feet of snow by now. Very unsettling.

Today I watched a movie that mostly was fine but had a scene that irritated me deeply.
Screenwriting tips!
1. Edibles do NOT kick in in under 3 minutes.
2. Getting into an argument does NOT sober you up from a weed high.
I have spoken.

About a year ago I got an external hard drive so I wouldn’t lose my writing. Hard drive crapped out. Lost all my many years of writing and research. *internally screaming*
I wish I could cry about it but I’m no longer connecting to reality. I live in the land of denial. 😬

Happy Friday the 13th!
Today reminds me of the time in 1993 I rented all EIGHT Friday the 13th movies. I binged them in a single day. That weekend I went to the mall with a friend & saw a “Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday” poster & exclaimed, “Son of a bitch! I thought I had seen them ALL!” 🤣

Thought of the Day:
Why do the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wear masks? Is it so they won’t be mistaken for other 6-foot turtles that walk upright and talk?
I am confusión…

Watching a movie in the wee hours & a scene ended with everyone singing “Auld Lang Syne”. I started laughing because I had forgotten when my son was 2 he had a piano that played that song & he would wail hysterically every time. He also played it incessantly. 🤣
Ah… memories.
Ah… memories.

In February our family adopted the sweetest kitten. She has now become an ornery cat that is chewing through all our cables. She destroyed my laptop charging cable yesterday. It’s the second one she has eaten! Agh!

I decided to be productive and do some yard work this morning. A couple of wasp stings/bites later I decided it wasn’t worth it to pick up leaves. Also found where the wasp nest was that all the mysterious wasps were coming from. Ow. 🤕 I got bit on the top of my head.
