This creature will be 15 this month and decided to very slowly walk 2 miles this morning and would not be deterred

A little tidbit about me is that I always keep a $5 bill in my phone case to buy pastries

It’s a healthy dose of cold brew in the old chocolate protein shake kind of day

Is “24 business hours” just a very goofy way to say 3 business days?

I love my husband so much. At work he had to say which fictional character he wants to have dinner with and he said “Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham”

The best part of this time of year is walking for hours without sweating my face off. The worst part is constantly sneezing so hard I legitimately worry I might seriously injure my neck

I wondered aloud what would happen to these when the planters were changed out in front of my friend’s building, so he asked and the building gave them to me. I feel elated and like a big ol loon

After getting soaked through to my underwear twice in the last week, I decided I need a full length raincoat. I finally found the perfect one and I almost threw up when I saw the price. $3440!!! 😩

So happy I timed my trial of YouTube premium for Fat Bear Week. Have my little chunkers steaming in the corner of my phone while I am doing everything. Not distracting at all!

We are seeing the musical of Dirty Dancing tonight and I said I had never seen the movie but that I knew it was about a town where people aren’t allowed to dance. That is apparently Footloose 😂 Sometimes my extremely sheltered religious upbringing really shows 🙈

My husband, who I am very proud of and don’t resent at all, did so well at his presentation in Rochester that a completely different agency is flying him to Hawaii to present again. Congrats to him, I need a loaner husband for a week in Oct

My boss just texted me “[The client who irritates you] just emailed me that Claude has some questions about her books. I told her I don’t answer questions from AI. Should we just drop her?”

My husband just told me that his childhood music teacher used to make them spend all their time writing jingles for commercials and then she left teaching to go write jingles for commercials. Like, she was running a little jingle sweatshop, right!?!

First thing this morning my Grandma was repeatedly calling me. I call her back and without saying hello “Jonathan, Thanksgiving is canceled. Just wanted to tell you that. So how do you feel about that? Are you irate?”

Thank you @adambbz.bsky.social for taking my vague idea and transforming Chicago Union station into a perfect Pokémon world with all sorts of sweet details This is his work printed on metal, which I gave my brother and his fiancée for their engagement party

Last night was Practical Magic and God’s Own Country. Don’t know how I missed them until now. And God’s own country gave me a lot to think about as I slept

One advantage of being gay is that my husband used my card to book his hotel because I have status and they are just calling him Jonathan and he is just going with it

I’ve been left holding down the fort for a few days and one of my habits is to go to bed super early and watch two movies before I sleep What should I watch? I’ve seen a grand total of 10 movies in the last two years so I am overwhelmed

My old store never even tried to unionize and yet when the AT&T next door went on strike the level of surveillance and pressure we got put under was insane, please do the bare minimum and support a local cafe instead

My dog was sitting pressed up against me, gazing at me and I was thinking aww she loves me. Then she stood up, looked me dead in the eyes, barked once and walked into the kitchen. Her dinner was 24 minutes late

Talking to bloomf just reminded me of the man in England who insisted I could not be American because I enunciate and have manners. His flabbers were fully gasted. It’s called gay, sir

When people ask me what I do I have started saying “very little” Most people laugh but this weekend a lady looked horrified, it turns out she is a career coach and she was bothering everyone but me about her services the whole night

I’m so impressed. We got a new mattress and they reached out to ask how we like it. My husband said he loves it but my shoulder hurts a bit Well today a very nice mattress topper arrived with a note saying to give it a try and if my shoulder still hurts they can send a different mattress 🤯

“There was this party and they were all rich and sucking up cocaine. Then there was this guy watching a movie by himself and looked at another guy. I know it was a gay thing but they didn’t get together. Then there was a girl who wanted to get laid” -my Grandma describing The Shards

I wish there was a Chicago flag emoji for that flag post thing, because my Dad, Grandma and great Grandpa were all born in Belmont Cragin and I think that is pretty nifty

My friend seems to have stumbled on a new strategy to get me to come to things, she just buys me a ticket and my crazy brain can’t make her feel bad so I go. She has turned my anxiety into motivation!

There is drama this morning. I don’t know what is happening but this hawk and this raven have beef I’m on the hawk’s side. The raven seems to be doing too much

Did I go outside to dance in the rain because I am whimsical or did the downspouts clog? Did I strip down on the front porch because I am a free spirit or am I just too practical to track water inside?
