This is a ridiculous problem to have, but there are TOO MANY COMPUTERS in this house. Like, more than 2/person.

We’re doing our big thanksgiving meal tomorrow because my oldest has to fly back on Friday and was really sad he wasn’t going to have any days of leftovers. Thankful that the cold front has made my mudroom “fridge“ possible! Right now, the stuffing, green bean casserole and 4 pies are all prepped.

It’s *finally* oversized hoodie-blanket time. It’s been way warmer than normal, but we got a cold front that seems to have reset us to regular winter this week.

@mostlybree.kitrocha.com i feel like I’ve seen a picture of filament organization that involves a rolling book cart, or something that reminded me of one. Was that you? I have too much to keep doing crates at this point.

Youngest kid (HS freshman) took PSAT in October, just so we could see where his weak spots were, since this is his first IEP.

Except there were no weak spots. He crushed it. Yay? But geez, this kid.

Impossible meat only comes in 12oz packs, but pretty much every recipe wants 1lb. Discovered I can finely chop
mushrooms/shred a carrot/shred raw cauliflower (depending on the final spice blend) and make up the difference without any complaints from the peanut gallery.

Woohoo! Successfully got my teenager two “new” sets of glasses for $100 by buying used identical frames off eBay and just switching out the lenses. $ spent of scratchproof coating was worth it! He leaves his glasses random places and the frames get warped, but the lenses are pristine!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I even added other colors of vegetables! It’s healthy-ish potatoes & oil!

potato skillet for dinner because carbs & oil sounds *amazing* right now

Leftover comfort food casserole tonight, but because I am a responsible adult, I also roasted some cauliflower.

Sometimes you just need a dinner casserole that is comfort in its purest form: carbs and fat. Vegan chicken tetrazzini with zero healthy modifications other than adding a handful of needed-to-get eaten spinach with the mushrooms.

Neighbor that feeds the community cats asked me for a few cans of food since she was out and couldbt go to the pet food bank again until later this week. I set up a gift Chewy Autoship because dang, she’s on social security and I should have thought about this sooner!

My middle kid’s favorite part of Halloween is giving out candy. So he’s dressing up as the Baba Yaga house and going to roam the neighborhoods, handing out candy instead of waiting here for the few trick or treaters we get. All his idea. He’s so fucking sweet sometimes.

Pomodoro method writing break time! I'm doing my preferred "Just get something on the fucking page" method. It starts with me literally writing "This paragraph should be about <blah>" for all the things I think I need to talk about, and then put in logical order, filling gaps, and link citations

Discovered I can buy used version of my kid‘s glasses frames off eBay for ~$20. His frames take a beating, but the lenses have held up really well, so hopefully I can just have the optometrist swap the lenses into the non-wonky frames.

I had some CSA pears, and needed a home for them. I made this cake/muffins with mango puree (because I had some randomly) instead of applesauce (which i never have). Veganized with margarine and chickpea flour ”eggs.”

My youngest has developed a party trick of complicated mental math very quickly. 5019/39? Took him <10s. His brain is *fascinating* and he’s such a conscientious and sweet kid on top of that! (Thanks Tylenol?)
