You should probably just head to the airport now based on today’s traffic. Took us nearly two hours from Franklin. And i live on the close side of Franklin. Also i packed my bag thirty minutes before leaving so i can’t be relied on for travel tips.

I, a fully formed adult, just poured peroxide in my ear so I could extract the ball from my cartilage ring, which popped off the ring and got stuck deep in my ear canal, like i'm a toddler. I've been tucking my ears since I *was* a toddler, and I guess these rickety hoops I have now aren't suited.

the worst part (i hope) of changing jobs is picking new health care plans. I've been super spoiled with very well-priced and covered tech plans. Now it's like "new company's expensive AF options" or "B's weird AF vanderbilt three-tier options". Is it stupid to have two HDHP plans? it's all stupid.

Bryant Terry also has several cookbooks that focus on Black food, but vegan, which could help. I will say he tends to use *EVERY DISH* in the kitchen, but his recipes are delicious.

This morning in scrum, I said "Thursday! Y'all know the worst thing about Thursday? We're just that much closer to Monday." So that's where my vibes are right now.

I have two separate bats, and have started describing them as “the impulse one” and “the one i actually wanted.” But i do still have to explain wanting bats, and i don’t love saying “the exterior doesn’t match the gothy interior”.

After A Week at work and a busy shift in the high school concession stand, i have homestyle, tuna melts, wingspan, and the Pet Shop Boys, so maybe things are turning up.

Franklin high was down by 35 when we left tonight. Homecoming! Glad i spent it slinging nachos and not actually bearing witness.

If i took away Disney and Apple Music…. Sigh. I also have a tech-resistant spouse so telling him we are doing a home server for music . … these are excuses but man. We’ve grown soft.

I went to see them a few years ago, and it was weird bc i knew Gordon and maybe you should drive but their American chatting songs were later so i felt v outside the fans.
