It might be spring of deception, but Rita’s Italian ice is open again!

It may be Spring of Deception time in the ‘Burgh, but I’m hanging out on the deck enjoying the sunshine as much as possible because the mosquitoes 🦟 have not yet returned from hell 🔥

Really appreciate stores with generous returns policies. I don’t use them that often, but it’s great knowing that if something didn’t work out as anticipated, it’s not $$ down the drain.

I’ve certainly tried rage spending before- maybe now I should try rage saving. I hear all the cool kids are doing it.

The red lipped manta ray looking thing has mar a lago of the ocean face. It’s freaking me the F out.

🍿 MTG still making sense. This past year really has felt like we’re living in the upside down.

Live updates: Israel confirms attack on Iran with US help as explosions are heard in Tehran Israel launched a daylight attack Saturday on Iran's capital, with a cloud of smoke rising from the city's downtown near the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

BREAKING: The death toll from a strike that hit a school in southern Iran has risen to 85 people, an official says on Iranian state TV.

Every day is a new opportunity to wake up and go “what fresh hell is this?”

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Nope! But I always put a try underneath just in case. Hope yours was fine too!

I know we all hate ice at the moment, but I am also hating the natural kind. Downspouts are frozen and now are thawing in the sun, which makes ice and water a fun time if you’re a homeowner. 💩

This frigid weather makes me want to drag out my sewing machine and make the warm window Roman blinds for the other two living room windows. Realistically tho, it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon and then it will be warmer. If I did make them, it’ll never be cold again. 🤣🤣

Had to take the oldest dog out for a potty and let me tell you 9° F is more than crispy, it’s a bone chilling cold.

Chicken cobbler, it’s what’s for dinner. So good and so simple.

Reasons WFH is still superior:

No wasted commute.
Home office is more comfortable (temp, furniture, flooring, clothes, vibes). Also, candles & space heater use.
Food: healthier and less $$$.
More focused time, less distractions. I get more done. Better quality work product.
Time w my old dogs.

Show them the ad…. 🤣🤣

I know what @yinzersosmart.bsky.social will be buying this week. Rosie needs to keep up with the posh cavs.

Not sure what your snow totals are but can’t open one of my mom’s car doors rn.

At lest we made. Big pot of beef stew for meals this weekend/week.

“Down Cemetery Road” was quite good.

So Duo might not be the best learning platform, but I was able to communicate semi-ok w a Colombian delivery driver yesterday.

His English isn’t great yet, my Spanish isn’t good yet, but we managed without needing a translation app.

Putting that in the Win column.

Made lunch in the kitchen without the usual dog audience. Brought lunch into the other room and handed out the cheese tax.

They have me well-trained.

You know you had an amazing deep tissue massage when you leave with a slight headache and are ready for bed by 830pm. (Massage was 3-4p).

I am beat up but dang the kinks are at bay for now.

Don’t exactly have a case of the Sunday Scaries, but I’ve been off for two weeks and oof, Monday might be a bit rough on reentry. I probably still remember how to work. 🤣

After a bit of early morning bloodwork confusion (get ALL the medical stuff once you hit OOP max), relaxing at home with a Holiday Nog latte. Was really on the fence about getting this flavor but dang, @nutpods this is yum. 😋

Did not have almost “taken out by an E biker“ on my bingo card for 2025, but me and three other people almost bit the big one because dude was flying past the front of the giant eagle right where you step out of the store. Yikes!

The volume of ads we’re seeing encouraging us to buy things! Any things! Just buy things! … is really the most annoying thing about social media / the internet right now.

Unsubscribing from all the things, deleting most things and then unplugging where I can till January.
