Feeling a little bit cold and instead of putting on warmer clothing I'm just gonna browse 17 pages of image search results for "soaking tub.“

Daycare sent Babycakes home sick and we were like "poor boo, do you want some screen time? Cuddles? Tylenol?" nope. He is miraculously cured and wants parkour.

it is november twenty fourth and the pediatrician hasn't decided yet if they're gonna offer covid shots

Me, indoors, dressing Babycakes for daycare: You are basically clean.
Me, in God's natural light, strapping Babycakes into the carseat: Half of your face is a mucus shell.

are sore throats less annoying to people who mostly speak sign language? I want to believe someone out there is free from this.

I'm listening to a conversation where someone is freely conflating carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and radon. My blood pressure is going up.

Having a kid in daycare sure has gotten me back in touch with the menagerie of minor colds.

very little brings me as much joy as explaining the plots of romance novels to my husband. no one is more earnestly appalled. "he made a BET to marry her? but that will hurt her feelings when she finds out!" yes beloved

Reading an article about free busses, one undersung benefit is that it removes the "what is the payment method supposed to be here?" element for infrequent riders.

It's been fun to develop a bunch of super strong opinions about children's books.

FSAs are such a kludge just give me a straight up child allowance

I, a dumbass, left a sock full of rice that I use as a heat pad on my office table, and now I have a table full of mouse poop.

It's like actually impossible to get a covid vaccine for a one-year-old, huh?

This is just me doing mission creep but if I put $1500 worth of battery in a stove I think I'd include a convenient plug for an inverter so it could also be a home power backup.

extremely niche complaint, the Child's Play Charity wishlists used to have video games on them and now they mostly don't. open yourselves to receiving the gifts people want to give.

I'm making a graph of our spending over the past year and I sure wish I could remember what I spent $540 at Walgreens in June??? I mean or maybe I didn't? I guess I'll turn on that credit card app feature that beep boops me every time I spend more than $X.

did I buy like a really good drug

Truly astonishing how little I got done during my one-month furlough. Today I only folded laundry and watched YouTube, and I didn't even finish it. The laundry. I suppose you could interpret "finishing" YouTube a few ways.
