Screw shrinkflation. I now look for recipes that call for a “package of” or “a can of” and make sure they put the measurement. Because my confetti squares needed 300g of chipits.
Last year package to one I just bought. Screw this.

Jenny, you do not need a $186 pen purchase from the UK. No matter how cool.

Sigh. Word #2 that I loathe when said incorrectly to me in an audio book.
Mauve as “mah-ve” ugh.
“moh-ve” is how. But being part Québécois might be to blame

Throwback to when I TP’d a dorm room on my floor during “guys night out, girls night in”.
I wrapped his phone so good he couldn’t answer it, and set his alarm for 7am.
Poor Todd.

I’m in such a pissy mood (and I stormed away from my family to “do groceries”) that I want to pull in to the nearest tattoo place and get my first small ink in spite (gestures to the world)

What is with books that need 80 pages to wrap up? Almost did not make it but forced myself to. Good book but sheesh!

Because my cousin is visiting, and it’s tradition, we made Haluski ourselves without the “elders” helping. We only needed to call once about the thickness details🤣

CW: DV and death
A woman was beaten with a hammer in public last week. As details emerged on local community groups I hoped so hard she would be ok.
I didn’t know her but there is constant calls for help & resources for fleeing DV situations and unsafe living…..there is so much.

I feel like I should wear black tomorrow.
The states should be mourning their lack of independence as the felon build concentration camps. Not celebrate what they once were.

#WDNC if I am “late” for dinner. All male members of my household are perfectly capable of finding food in the house and eating it.
Cooked food is a luxury. The young ones need to learn at some point.

I think the worst fear of my kids is not knowing where I am.
Door opens
J: Excuse me! I’m pooping!
M: sorry mom, I was looking for you.
J: why?
M: cuz I didn’t know where you were.

80% of me wants to get a dog, get a dumb phone, and get off the internet for a very long while.
But keep ebooks from the library.

My community group has a whole saga about treating a deer and being a monster for not giving it meds or food. So I’ll post here instead my twisted humour and add the following original Zulu lyrics instead of my colonial interpretation as a 14 year old.

Want to know how I really feel about plastic blinds?
Here you go.
I loathe them all with every fibre of my being.
Nothing like getting windows replaced to reflect on the life choices of the previous owners.
