First snow day of the season! But in this economy, it looks like they didn’t spring for the snow.

Got an early Christmas present! Notice that a $16,000 student loan was in default.
I left school 18 years ago. Where was it all this time!? Where did the 40,000 I already paid go? I had 20,000+ in scholarships. I’ll never be free of this.

When I noticed Costco was selling gifts baskets and delivery was free, I sent everyone a basket for Christmas.
Now that I’ve learned they’re suing over tariffs, I’m sending everyone two. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

We were gifted hot chocolate balls, so I corralled other related snacks (bought some peppermint sticks) and voila! Hot chocolate bar!! My daughter’s school serves hot chocolate on reward days with various toppings, so this was HUGE hit to have at home.

They were so incredibly good. I don’t know if there’s a point where you can eat ‘too many’ cranberries, but we’re about to find out (no worries about the copious amount of sugar on them, the limit does not exist).
Breaking a cardinal rule of Thanksgiving- experimenting with a never before tried recipe. Candied cranberries.

If my turkey doesn’t manage to cook, at least we’ll have sides. Greens, stuffing, and gravy on the stove. Mashed potatoes ready for the oven swap.

My grandmother used to make a sweet potato dish only at thanksgiving & eater. The recipe has been lost to time. It was a very light, fluffy soft sweet potato shaped into a ball with a marshmallow in the middle & rolled in coconut flakes. Does anyone know the name?

My mom‘s work sent out a ‘restructuring’ email. Everyone that wants to continue to work there has to go to an internal portal and reapply for
the job they’re already working. They did not share how many people they’d be ‘hiring back’. Rumor is this is to lower pay and stop pensions.

Remember when there was such a thing as a ‘slow news week’?
I worked in my college‘s student publication department all four years. My dad worked at a tv news station for 30- I very much remember the reaching and struggle for something to fill a spot/time.

This just in: you can buy ham bones (with tons of meat still on it), from honey baked ham. I got a medium sized one for $9- and it will go from soup to collards to beans this week.

The world is falling apart, and I’m sitting in bed studying for a certification for work (that’s newly required), and will cost me $250 to take. I’m about 90% sure I’ll be laid off by January. What is even the point?

We had a crafternoon today. Everyone brought the bits and pieces of craft supplies that have been hanging around their house. I put the snacks everyone brought on a fancy tray and we had a party!

I just paid $194 to take my daughter to the doctor for an ear infection. We haven’t even been seen yet. I pay $300 a month for insurance already.

I don’t think I’ve ever decorated for Christmas this early. I’m normally a strictly ‘not until December’ person. I wonder if that’s why I’m having such a hard time getting into it? Nothing looks right.
