Jealous of moons. Searching for intellectual joy. Not as misanthropic as I appear. Work @ SU, bleed orange, used to watch a lot of hockey. Opinions are my own.
I've been without a functioning kitchen sink for over a week (galvanized drainpipe developed a big hole). Today's plumbing window was 2-4 to fix (this is the third visit, after assessment and estimation). They showed up at 4:20. It's going to be such a long evening. I want my kitchen back.

Since my starter was used a few weeks ago, I switched to this very random word the internet told me hadn't already been the starting word. Wordlebot kept telling me it was the starter for less than .1% of players. And here we are.

Saturday snow day thanks to the lake effect band right over me. So I'm catching up on work while The Cutting Edge is playing and it makes me feel very old, because the hockey players just have helmets! No shields! Crazy.

Now for the dilemma of sticking with my tried and true starter word, or switching it up.

I have been divorced for 20 years and today got mail at my home I've owned for not even three years addressed to "Married Name Family." How out of date is their marketing mailing list?

My current background TV watching is Grey's Anatomy, and I'm in season 9 and there's Ethan Embry as one of Arizona's docs. I don't know why I'm always shocked at who appears in this show.

My house was in totality and also in clouds. But they shifted for ten seconds and you could hear cheers throughout the neighborhood.

IDK when they implemented this, but the whole "smart shuffle" thing in spotify, on a playlist I MADE, is really effing annoying. If I wanted a song in my playlist I would have put it there.

I wish we always had a three-day weekend, because I got a lot done AND I had decent downtime AND time with my mom. I feel somewhat mentally ready for the week. So rare.

I worked 50+ hours this short week and we're getting a winter storm later today. I decided not to go to mom's today (guilt! but my sister is going), and I've got a grocery order in. I'm going to lazily do chores over two whole days, read books, do a puzzle, and see no one. Heaven.

I'm having a birthday/cancer-free/housewarming tomorrow night and tonight I baked a crab cheesecake thing and my house smells amazing and I can't eat it for almost 24 hours. So not fair.
