I’ve been slowly pulling stuff together for a craft fair that’s larger/more formal than I usually do next month and somehow missed that one of the fairs I always do is this coming weekend (slightly earlier than usual, but not by that much). So building/painting the new display frames is suddenly a lot more critical than I realized three days ago, and of course it’s now snowing and too cold for me to be doing any of it out on the patio.

Today is bigger kid’s 14th birthday. He spent the night at his dad’s last night and just got home.
He was surprised and confused when I greeted him by saying happy birthday. Nobody had said or done anything birthday-ish at his dad’s so he had forgotten what day it was.
I assume his dad forgot his birthday.
I hate that man so much.
(Kid gets cake and presents and way too many hugs now)

Doing laundry involves doing it. Not doing it just delays it.

Update. Increasingly stressed about this. How is it that I see them WAY too much but haven’t run into my neighbor in two days.

I went grocery shopping (4 different stores…why is it so hard to find wild rice?) and came home and put the milk in the fridge, then collapsed into a useless lump on my bed, surrounded by the rest of the groceries. At some point I’m going to have to move again, or sleep with a bunch of fruit and salad greens and a box of Triscuits.

New wallet ripped the first time I used it. And it was from a no returns clearance. A month later it’s unusuable and I’m sulkily moving back into old wallet which is not ripped but is bulky and stubborn and ugly.

Uggh this was going to be mine too. I didn’t even think about the time change making it worse.
In general wild rice is getting harder to find because harvests have been crap the past few years.

I didn’t know that! I hope it doesn’t disappear completely.

The toilet roll was hung backwards. I’m the one that hung it. It is so annoying but I refuse to turn it around because living with it is natural consequences for the person who made it like that, aka me.
And we all know I won’t learn my lesson.

Two things:
I think paying someone else to do the thing with your dry goods cabinet should be your November goal, since those sound like activities that require a fair amount of grip strength.
I’m pretty sure the natural consequence of having hung the toilet roll backwards is having to fix it, not living with it being wrong.

Look at you, being all rational.
New complaint: I was going to take bigger kid to a Rocky Horror screening. I didn’t realize tickets were being sold in advance. It is sold out. Dammit, Janet.

I consider myself “good at English” but I can’t for the life of me remember when to use its vs. it’s. I even looked it up like a month ago and thought I had it but got my wires crossed again and have been doing it wrong for at least the last week.
It’s annoying… <-- yes? maybe???

It’s is a contraction. When saying ‘it is’ would be appropriate, use it’s.
My complaint: I waited too long to get Rocky Horror tickets and they were sold out. We’re watching it at home instead. Still fun, and probably for the best since I have a fever, but still.

I mean, I acknowledge there are colder places, but the problem is that it is not supposed to be this cold HERE for like… 3 more months. This is very very bad and very very unusual except seemingly not so unusual anymore which both sucks and points to a bigger problem (which is to say extremes are becoming more extreme).
