Tiny Complaints

I bought myself special chocolate but it’s not as good as the name made it sound.

curried cashews taste so good, and they need to last for 3 days so I have them ready to gift

eta: I forgot that there are 4 niblings this year who need their own container, and I am low on glass jars

I found 5 handblown glass ornaments, today. Today and tomorrow are clean up for the Christmas Eve effort. I have NO time to haul these an hour away to the antique store. I suppose I could use 3 that are perfect to the packages for my 3 “main” neighbors… one of the seagulls has a broken wing. But there are 2 seagulls, 2 hummingbirds and one sparrow. I think I will probably do that.

Wish I’d found them a week or two ago!

Cleaning back wall behind stove: complaint… try as hard as I might I can NOT reach!

Cat had a wet food snack, drank a bunch of water and went and barfed it right back up.

I just got in a bath with bath bomb and snacks and something to watch and it’s lovely.
And my stomach is suddenly making ominous gurgles.

Why.

Well, WTF did I expect, driving to the suburb where allll the big chain stores are, to get to the Big Liquor Store in hopes of gluhwein, 2 days before Xmas?

Good lord. What a fucking disaster that was. I couldn’t even get off the highway into the right lane and ended up circling hell on some frontage road I could not figure out how to get off of. At last I found the Target parking garage and thought, great, I’ll drive thru that and get back on the street I need to be on. Nope. It was being torn TF up with construction.

TV: I did finally make it and at least they had some damn gluhwein. I bought 2 bottles and some fancy rum for Boyfriend and announced upon arrival home: “this had better be the best damned liquor we have ever had.”

I just learned it will be 4, perhaps 5, large dogs at my parent’s house tomorrow

I am still available as a safe house. As is your own house.

There is a baby rattlesnake who has taken up winter residence under my recycling can. He is adorable and also terrifying!

Baby danger noodle

Oof. I’m not sure his residence and yours are compatible. Is there a service that would relocate him? I’m assuming you’d rather not kill him.

Edited several times because autocorrect kept helping

I’ve read mixed reviews about the relocating services here. I guess it’s best for the snake if they can stay as close by as possible, and a lot of them move the snakes so far away that they end up dying :frowning: . I first saw him two weeks ago on recycling day, but then he disappeared so I assumed he had moved on. It seems he’s decided to take up permanent residence, which I wouldn’t completely mind if it weren’t for Oliver

You need the Florida Yoink Man ™ to come visit and relocate danger buddy! He would know how to relocate it safely lol

Aw sorry. This would be a tiny victory for me.

For me, it depends on which relative and their relative perspectives on dog training…:melting_face: sometimes having multiple dogs over can be a joy. And sometimes even one 7 pound dog fills me with utter and complete dread.

True. But for me I like all dogs more than I like most people. And dogs are a good excuse to avoid problematic humans (for me). But there are problematic dogs.

Sitting at my computer, it gets service of 60-70 mbps. My phone in my hand got 500 mbps. Guess it’s time to get a new usb-wifi widget to replace the cheap crappy one I currently have.

Apparently a movie ticket is now $13 in my small town. I can’t imagine what it would be in an actual city.

I paid $11 to see Wicked Part 1 in Hometown and $27 to see Wicked Part 2 in NYC. (Regular version, not the IMAX.)
