Ms. Murphy if you're nasty, and you most assuredly are

I'm a Swiss Army Unicorn and a born-again misanthrope. I do all my own stunts.
I think that regardless of how I'm feeling tomorrow, I may still stay home.

I at least took a shower and changed my pajamas today, which was... necessary.

Remind me to thank my supervisor for this.

I enlisted an old friend to help me change a headlight bulb in my car. I miss the days when I could fix it myself.

I am gracing the workplace with holiday playlists. The first one, due Friday, I am calling, "Adult Contemporary Holiday" with a chill vibe and some old classics mixed in. Next week is the party mix.

Of course, I am open to safe-for-work suggestions...

I am so not prepared for today. My bread basket offerings are stunning (photos later), but I had to swap out the winter citrus cake with cranberry buttercream at the last moment because I ran out of time (but who says no to a hot fudge pudding cake?).

I think the best way to put it today is: I'm... buffering...

Made another batch of brown butter cookie bars for a bake-off at work. Was just told there are only crumbs left, which is a good sign.

I KNOW that at some point, I have said about the Orange Menace, "He'd blow you for a dollar."

I was half-joking. It sounded preposterous! However, if the tale is true, I guess I was right.

Zoomer coworker: Can I ask you a question?

Me (thinking it's work-related): Sure, what's up?

That question started with the statement, "My grandmother said..."

There was frost on my windshield this morning. I am not ready for this.

@bandlegame.bsky.social in one!

Mild panic when I saw the song was from this year because, yeah...no...

And damn lucky when it was the only song from this year that I could think of!

...Does this mean I'm getting a day off?

Aw, am I going to have to call people?

Good morning.

This one comes with a brief reprieve from leaving the house in darkness.

It would seem that Trump voters elected a house flipper without a contractor's license instead of President of the United States.

Today, I came in as a lumberjack.

It's in the 60s in the city, so here I am, regretting my life choices.

Also, since weaponry in the office is verboten, I carry a can of Axe body spray (which...) and tell folks that "I can't be trusted with sharp objects."

Brown butter M&M cookie bars. Besides regular and mini M&Ms, I added semi-sweet chips, white chips, and sprinkles. My BFF said that it's because I'm "extra". 🤣
So what if I am!

I'm browning butter for M&M bars I plan on bringing when I crash my cousin's Halloween party later.

I was invited, I just forgot to RSVP.

Now, which costume am I recycling for this?

Bailed on work early tonight to catch Miss M's game. Maybe it's the last of the season?

Last year, she had the team record for most yellow cards in a season.

I think we're both weirdly proud of that.
