Every emoji picker should default to sorting by last used. No more of this “frequently used” list of 20 items. Emojis I want are always falling off that list and I hate it.

(Disclaimer about small potato complaints when world is falling apart. Sometimes we need to vent about small things.)

I hate surveys. Has anyone checked to see if surveys are the cause of all of society’s woes? Feels like it, but I’m not sure how we’d find out without a survey.

I love driving past a parent and a little kid just staring at a big ol’ digger or other construction vehicle. Warms my heart.

My 3 year old told me he wants to stop eating food and only drink chocolate milk. I informed him that’s not really a thing. He’s not taking it well.

Books I read in 2024.

Spoiler: it’s almost entirely Brandon Sanderson books.

A weird side effect of every medication I’m on or have ever tried that no doctor has ever warned me about is hypochondria.

Happy #WindAndTruth day to all celebrating. I will be basically useless until I’ve powered through this ~63 hour audiobook.

Me: I will wait until release day to start reading #WindAndTruth.

I will NOT read the weekly chapter releases.

I will ONLY read the prologue.

I WILL NOT GET frustrated when I have to wait between releases.

I’M TOTALLY FINE.

IS IT FRIDAY YET?

It was a close call.

Apparently some people say they're too full for dessert then they actually follow through with not eating dessert?? Everybody knows that you're supposed to eat it anyway then complain about how sick you feel for the rest of the night.

I made crepes for breakfast this morning. It was the first time in ages I haven’t had to make different meals for each child. Only downside was that nobody liked my “would you like the Nutella or Oldtella?” joke. It’s admittedly not my best work, but I don’t think it deserved a divorce threat.

I can no longer give my toddler a single piece of cheese. Or chicken. Or anything. He needs one for each hand or he won’t eat.

Don’t get me wrong, this is not a complaint. I’m just feeling grateful that he is not an octopus and needed to put this gratitude out into the world.
