Filling in time between book club books with any Diana Wynne Jones books I haven’t read yet. First up is Fire and Hemlock 🩷
Husband went outside to smoke and when he came back in he reported that the neighbors left their fucking dog outside and it’s crying because of the fireworks (which, by the way, are illegal here). I hate people.
And I don't have a problem with Alexander Skarsgard, but I would've loved to see a woman in the role just to shake things up. Like maybe Charlize Theron or Milla Jovovich or Gina Carano?
I've actually been kinda productive with my day off. I went to the doctor, took the cat to the vet, and made real food for lunch. But now maybe I'll go take a nap.
Reading the latest Murderbot book and thinking about how pissed I'll be if Apple TV fucks up the adaptation
That feeling when you put on an outfit and think “man, the sweater I’m making now would look so good with this if it was done already” and then you just have to be sad and try to knit faster
Update: the jambalaya was delicious although mysteriously not the correct color.

Bad Children Get Lucky
careering across
the winter sky
shedding boxes
like an Amazon truck
Rudolph strung out
on fermented moss
the sleigh never
touches down
Santa loses his grip
over the Pacific
If you didn't get any presents from Santa, this could be why. #poem
Making jambalaya from scratch with a recipe we’ve never tried before. Hope it’s edible!
Good fortune to all friends of the grummles!
Bought a pair of skinny jeans and ended up returning them because I forgot how tight they are around the calf and it turns out I hate that now. I guess I’m getting old?
One of my favorite memories with my pup: the time he stole my mom's flip flop right off her foot and ran away with it
Finally looking forward to work again. The dark days are over!

My daughter is on a mission to revive my grandmother's turn of the century British idioms. So far, they include "he's full of beans," which doesn't actually come from my grandmother, and "the King's English," which does.
Vibing to World of Warcraft soundtrack music while I work today. I could probably just play the Zandalar theme on repeat all day though, I love it that much
@ATXJane I love this idea. And that’s part of why I appreciate him explaining jokes to me even if I got them, because it feels like he’s on my side.
Yesterday I was talking to my friend and I said “I struggle with reading social cues” and he said “that is a thing I’ve noticed about you” and then I felt kinda embarrassed. But I should’ve known he realized, because he sometimes privately explains jokes to me if he thinks I didn’t get it based on my response (which I don’t mind, because occasionally I DIDN’T get it.)
Finished a third hat. Next up is a sweater!
My mom forgot the name of Guardians of the Galaxy and described it as “the weird looking woman kills her sister”, and then when we couldn’t figure it out she elaborated: “the daughters of the big evil guy” which was only enough information for me because I knew we were talking about comic characters.
