I think I’m going to start writing again.

Coming soon, Another Dumb Bitch with a Substack.™️
I need to figure out a new feel-good TV show to rewatch.

I’m pretty much over Gilmore Girls. West Wing now bums me out. I tried Gossip Girl and they’re just so terrible to each other that it put me in a foul-ass mood.

Currently giving Veep a go, but it’s not hitting quite right. Maybe New Girl?

We’ve been in this house for ten months and I am so annoyed with myself for waiting so long to get the office cleaned out and organized into a truly usable space. What was an overwhelming room of boxes turned into an overwhelming room of boxes *and* ten months of crap without a place.

I took today off work to get the major stuff done before all of the people descend upon our home this weekend, and I couldn’t figure out why I was FREEZING.

Forgot to change the presets on the thermostat. 😅

Otis ate vagrant neighborhood cat shit again.

Having to really remind myself that spending a significant amount of money to keep this neurotic, ill behaved dog in my home was my own damn choice. 🙃

We’d already paid for our season tickets by the time we separated, and I cannot explain how important those Grizz games were for me in those early days.

I also invited J to a game that year (we’d only been twitter pals up until then!) and well, that really worked out for me, lol.
I cannot tell you how healing it is to sit next to someone you love in a gigantic sports stadium, pour out your hearts to each other without ever taking your eyes off the court, and interrupt yourself in the middle of the saddest sentence imaginable to yell DEFENSE DEFENSE

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray.

The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter.

These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby.

We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves.

One of the girls got super disrespected by a boy and like… I get why in-law relationships can be weird, because while I know my kids aren’t perfect and will get plenty wrong, I will not be able to forget it and will always kind of hate this guy.

(She’s fine, I am so mad.)

So one pill wasn’t helping, so the vet told us to give him 2.

He is now so high that he is eating his foot.

Maybe 1.5 would have been a better next step. 🥹

I just found out that the football team this household supports* has a mascot who wears a THONG sometimes?! And he also BUNGEE JUMPS?! I cannot believe I did not know this before now.

*the Jags, Jordan has been a fan forever and I like jaguar/cat animal print and teal, so.

We went to paint pottery for our friend’s birthday, and y’all, it was the nicest afternoon.

I love being crafty, but doing stuff at home is difficult because there is always something “productive” I should be doing instead, so having three hours to just be creative was such a treat.

I am still in bed.

This is not helping my mile-long to-do list, but it’s pretty great.

Okay, the new Knives Out is fantastic.

I saw a craft/home decor influencer share that she’d found a festive slideshow on YouTube to play on her TV during a party, to help the there be less of a dark hole in the room.

I’m not sure that method works as well on a behemoth, but it’s fun and better than a blank giant TV screen!

I hadn’t found any good ornaments for the girls this year so I decided I’d make them.

Bought a digital chart for Sav’s and figured I’d just paint the canvas myself instead of having to wait on one to be shipped.

Friends I am never painting my own canvas again. What the fuck.

I think everyone is trying to really eff up my Friday. I want to reply to all of my emails with this gif.

When the house makes an odd thonk in the night while everyone you live with is in the bed next to you, my home security solution has always been: that’s none of my business.

When I look at the list of things I need to do before next Saturday I kind of want to throw up and cry and hide under the covers.

Lil Otis got acquainted with trazadone this evening and he is CLINGY.

I’ve gotten a little smaller but this is not a two person chair.

Just insane and to sneak a Konchar surgery in there?

I’d say I give up if I hadn’t given up so many times before.

I restarted my rent the runway and bought a couple new sweaters. I might go try on jeans tomorrow. I am fairly confident that I will soon have more than two pants with buttons that fit.
Not having many clothes that fit my current body is really bumming me out.

After having mostly the same size/shape for 20 years, finding what works now feels stressful and expensive and overwhelming.

I know the answer is just going and trying on clothes and buying what fits, but I don’t wannaaa.

Got my nails done tonight and the nail tech really hit it out of the park this time! I didn’t do a great job communicating what I wanted last time, so I’m glad we were on the same page today. It’s really fun to have fun nails!

Hit play on a funky lo-fi Christmas playlist on Spotify, and then I had the crushing realization that some of these songs are probably AI. 🙃

My hair has thinned enough around my front hairline/part that it is visibly noticeable. I think this particular situation is fucking with my head more than any self image related issue has ever bothered me before.
