By the time I finish rewatching Stranger Things to remember wtf happened the rest of season 5 will be out so at least there's that.

Got almost no sleep and will have to take a nap or go to bed early but it was worth brunch brisket.

(We did Thanksgiving today so we'd have an extra day of good food because my mom leaves early Saturday.)

It's just me Paul and my mom and I'm going to have enough food for 10-15 people. I'm so excited to have Thanksgiving leftovers for the next couple of weeks.

(and very blessed to have a freezer)

Also, owls are spooky af. I was out at a little after 3 to deal with the brisket and 3am already creeps me out and it's silent except for me and some light rain then I hear a loud hoohooo hoohooo hoohooo.

If I could have a super power at this point in my life I'd like it to be that I am immune to onions hurting my eyes.

I chopped two onions an hour ago and I'm still uncomfortable.

The lights are on and he's so mad about it

See I'm doing Thanksgiving this year which means we're having brisket and not another inferior holiday meat.

Excited to become the Uncle Hugh for Paul's family at Christmas.
i am just eating this year but if my uncle hugh doesnt bring brisket over again this year there’s gonna be a fuckin problem
Let’s run this again, was fun last year, what new adversities are we about to create for ourselves on the field, drop your menus below

For the first time in my 38+ years I need one of those produce section scales and I don't think they have one.

I went to Union Station almost every weekday from 2015-2020 and the Christmas decorations were my favorite part of the year, especially this gigantic wreath.

A literal legend
one of my uncles is banned from thanksgiving after he brought a giant spread of artisanal cheese, engaged in a planned confrontation with my cousins who were hosting and called them assholes, and then left and TOOK THE CHEESE AWAY

the Murray's Confrontation has never been forgiven

Paul sent me this earlier - Waffles when he heard the garage door open because it meant I was back home.

I'm anxious about the game next week. It was gone for so many years idk if the youths truly understand you can lose every other game (pls don't) but you HAVE to win that one.*

*over the series, they have lost most of them but that's not the point.

It's completely unhinged and I love her.
I would like all of you, each and every one, to go google “Miss Universe National Costume Competition 2025 Norway” right now

The university sent me my little cords to wear at graduation 🥹 the gold is summa cum laude and the red is the President's List, which seems redundant because they're both for a 4.0 but they're pretty so it's fine.

Finished All Her Fault last night and it's 10/10 candy mystery thriller. Neatly ends, red herrings galore.

Read some reviews and some people are mad they put the drama in the drama. Of course it's ridiculous! Of course these characters are caricatures! It's an airport thriller!

These cherry jolly rancher uniforms were certainly a choice.

"battle reds" yeah battling with the food coloring stain in your mouth after you eat them
