This could have been me. A few years ago one of my team members left a meeting early because of moms birthday, he told all on the call her age, turned out she was 5 years younger than me 
and he had a bachelor and was working at least for 5 years in my team …

The game meat we got from family was just supposed to be plain ground. But after making it into tacos, it has become clear it is in fact hot Italian seasoned ground. That plus taco seasoning is… a weird weird combo. But no way on planet earth am I wasting good game meat. So I’m eating the weirdest taco bowl of my life.

4 a.m. hairball.
TV: It was Boyfriend’s turn to clean it up, and he was up peeing anyway.
I then drifted back off to sleep and had nightmares about abusive family members sending me packages and writing abusive and stalking messages all over the outside of the packages in sharpie.
At least I have off work today.

The dog puked. And she missed the wipeable baby mat by like 1”. 
Onto the area rug instead. She also virtually never pukes, so now I’m worried about her too.

I have never been so upset about receiving a paycheck early. Payday is a day early, today, which puts it in the current calendar year. I realized my bank deposit amount seemed too high. Because of how I set up the contribution to my 401k, I completely inadvertently did not contribute to my 401k, therefore did not get the company contribution (match), and there is no remedy to this. I am extra angry because for most of this year the match was suspended because of the pandemic. I did and redid and redid 401K math because my pay kept changing (Mostly a cut) and I was trying to hit a specific goal amount. (There is no option to select a goal amount for the year or even a dollar amount per paycheck, it’s a stupid game of setting percentages). The rest of the explanation is long (and too personal to me for a public thread), so please simply believe me that there is no remedy to this screw up I made. I can prevent this from happening in the future by electing to do something that I don’t actually want to do, but there is no going back to fix this one.

Reason 2,736 why we need to move someplace with no winter: our dumpster in the alley is presently frozen shut.
Also, I opened a bottle of wine today and it either is terrible wine or it had gone off. Yuck! Thankful for my stash, bottle number 2 is tasty.

My semi-annual complaint: the neighbors two doors down LOVE fireworks. Therefore the whole neighborhood gets to enjoy them every new years and 4th of July …
Just saw two framed perfectly out my window, which means they’re right outside of Kiddo’s window and he just went to bed not ten minutes ago…

I made an apple pie today and dug out the vanilla ice cream I ordered a couple weeks ago with which to say good riddance to 2020 and welcome to 2021. Unfortunately it’s apparently been long enough since I’ve had that much sugar that while it was absolutely delicious (the piece I had–if I’d eaten the whole thing I could understand the trouble 
) my stomach is now having a debate about how it feels about the whole issue.
Damn it 2020, there’s 24 minutes left in my time zone so would you just go away and let me enjoy my pie?!

Was bribed with a mint chocolate chip milkshake into leaving the house at quarter to eleven.
Milkshake was not delicious.

I ordered some snow boots that were supposed to be delivered December 22. They’ve been stuck in Memphis, Tennessee (very far from me) since December 13 and just stuck at pending. The only way to contact FedEx is through the phone. WHYYY.

We’ve had the windows open to enjoy the weather but it led to a police siren waking me up at 3AM (sound carries really well when it’s quiet at night) and then being too hot to fall back asleep … too hot even though it’s supposedly winter. At least it’s raining now so the weather should cool off again today.

I haven’t had a 5-day workweek since… mid-October, I think?
How in fuck do I go back to 5-day workweeks this week? Particularly since there’s very little work to do right now (we’re between projects)?
Blaaaaarghhhhhhhh.
