Tiny Complaints

Should have added the tv: I live on a mountain, so the flooding is only going to be something I worry about for other people.

Are a giant leftover restaurant burger at 9:30 last night, and today my stomach hurts for no reason.

Must be something with the moon or something in the air because I drank a chocolate malt while making homemade mac and cheese last night and then had a big bowl for dinner and my stomach hurt so much too. Weird that our tummies hurt with absolutely no explanation as to the cause.

There is clearly something going on! My husband had stars for a free drink so naturally I had to get the biggest size of the apple fritter oat milk macchiato whatever the hell thing they had, and for some reason my tummy has been off ever since. Very strange and totally unrelated incidents.

No answer from painter people about going back to work tomorrow on now-repaired house. Gee, thanks folks!

It’s really weird. I know it is not the lasagna making me feel sick because the first piece didn’t cause any problems.

I tried to do something nice for my kid by letting him stay up late and now he is, and I quote, “not tired”. Mmhmm, sure, child. Sure. Just lay there in the dark-but-not-too-dark please and no talking, mom wants to be off duty for the night.

I was reading a collection of short stories from an author I quite liked and once got to have a small group chat with which was enjoyable (perhaps in 2017? maybe 2019). I’m also on their mailing list.

So when I got a really weird circumlocution filled note, I put it aside for a couple of days. But my spidey sense was tingling,

Summary

and I asked the shadowy one (who is more in the social media spaces of this author’s peers) if other people found it had been really TERFy if you went and checked all the various things she was alluding to without saying outright.

ETA: ok, or if you scroll past paragraphs and paragraphs of text, she eventually says it pretty much outright.

Yeah. Spidey sense correct.

So I unsubscribed and I guess I’m not getting a completed book on my Storygraph challenge. And I’m sad, because she’s written really great stuff. But I can’t disconnect the author from the work when I’m literally halfway through the anthology and this happens.

New look does not have Same Great Taste
It has Slightly Less Good In Hard to Pinpoint Ways Taste

I think less salt, more nuch and the popcorn was a bit staler.

Plus the bag is so small compared to the old packaging!

I should be clear that I am not just sad for myself, but for the readers who are fans who she is more directly attacking, and for all the people who are being harmed or at risk of greater harm because of this toxic brain eater spreading throughout the world. My sadness is a small pinprick in the pain this is part of.

I have a class all day, a board meeting at 6pm tonight which will take me an hour and a half to drive home from, and another board meeting at 8:30 am tomorrow. Can I just fast-forward like 28 hours Universe? Please?

Jen, the spider who weaves a web on the SIDE of my house every night (who is v big) who I thought was cool with me made her web across my doorway overnight and I came like 1/2” from walking right through it with her directly on my face.
Not cool.

I guess I’ll…. Use another door all day?

Jen pics, maybe creepy to some. Not to me, but damn that’s a rude place for your web Jen!😖
