Been cleaning out my freezer to eat all my pre-cooked meals, use up all the little odds and ends of frozen veggies, and go through my frozen bread. My skillet of beans plus freezer items (tomatoes, what turned out to be sweet potato puree, and onions) turned out pretty darned good

New pipe! (Still giant hole in the ground, but yay new pipe with no hole in the pipe!)

Got a photo of the pipe that caused the (lack of) water drainage from the house this past weekend. That’s a good sized hole! No wonder the rocks they saw inside the pipe with the camera yesterday were so big looking

Doesn’t matter that it’s only 7pm. Gus says it’s bedtime (and says it loudly). So I guess it’s bedtime.

Ran out of eggnog, so made up a half gallon this time. That should hold me for a little while at least 😂

The cream cheese isn’t even really noticeable 🤷♀️ but hey, it didn’t go to waste! (Which with these grocery prices is the point 😂)

One is out of the oven (the other is in the freezer for later) with some roasted zucchini. Now the wait for it to be less stupidly hot

Using up my leftover cream cheese in my sweet potato and black bean enchilada casserole (itself a result of leftover enchilada sauce). Shall see how that pans out.

Despite the disturbing color, these are decent. Not sure I’d have pegged them as blueberry flavored, but they’re tasty enough

The good (chocolate) mini moon pies keep being out of stock at the store. But I am a sucker for purchasing the other flavors I haven’t tried even though I never like them 😂. Bets on how bad these are? (Gonna try one after dinner)

The hard plastic part of my iPad case chipped like 4 months ago and I kept forgetting to order a replacement. Finally remembered and $10 later my 5 year old iPad is looking shiny and new! (Old beat up case underneath was once identical to the new one)

I don’t *love* my wreath, but every year when I price buying a new one (before or after the holiday sales) I decide I like my 5-year old $15 wreath just fine compared to the $50-70 replacements 😂. Though I just scored a cute fall wreath for $3.50 so maybe there’s hope for the post-Christmas sales

The blueberries I bought earlier in the week were pretty subpar. The solution for that is always cobbler

I spent a frankly absurd amount of money buying this embroidered duvet cover when I was a teenager (at least $200 and that was ~25 years ago), but damn if I don’t love it still every time I pull it out. Also reminds me how much higher quality bedding was back then.

I am being denied snuggles. Even though I turned the heated blanket on just to lure someone in

We are dealing with a rodent incursion at work, so I set up my game camera. Here’s the little shit who ate my nice plant and has been tearing up carpeting around the building

Holiday decorating achieved. (With the cats, the best I can do is my tiny tree on top of the coat rack 😂)

I was hungry and haven’t gone to the store yet, so made a meatball pasta bake! (Frozen meatballs, jarred sauce, pasta, and cheese which I always have in the fridge!)
