I dreamt I went to In-N-Out and ordered a double double with fries and Sabrina Carpenter served them to me but she only gave me like six fries.

Calling it a bath
No bubbles to bring me joy

No bubbles to bring me joy
you have to let your heart break
all the way
there is no other way out

I planned this week off to relax and recharge, so my mom ordered two nightstands with drawers, two tall dressers with five drawers each, and one long dresser with seven drawers for her new bedroom set.
"I DidN't KnOw yOu HaD To PuT tHeM ToGeTHeR."
Sure, Jan. 🙄
Oh, good morning.

I haven't been able to work on the puzzle for a while, so I'm taking advantage of a quiet Christmas morning to do so. Enjoy my cinnamon coffee while I listen to the birds and chickens. Later, it's a drive into Vegas for a family gathering.
I hope whatever your plans, you have a peaceful day. ❤️💚

I can't even recall where I nabbed this from, but it always makes me smile.
I hope it does the same for you.

While I am concerned for those in Southern California, I am crossing my fingers that the storm moving through dumps a foot of snow in the mountains outside of town here so we wake up to a white Christmas (of sorts). ❄️💙

boring planner thread
Sleepless night, so I finally got out of bed around 4 and decided to set up my new Saint Belford planner. I use Google for theatre and other random things, but I do prefer a physical planner. I previously used Passion Planner, but found it was no longer serving my needs.

Be gentle with those who struggle
in the twilight amongst the sparkle
for their hearts are broken
and their souls weary.
Be tender with those who retreat
from the loud revelry
for the silence of their
loneliness is deafening.
To those for whom this season is hard, I see you.🖤

This song feels like a Saturday morning. Fresh coffee. A light breeze sways gauzy curtains and dappled sunlight dances on the kitchen floor. You move to the music while stirring pancake batter. Your love kisses your neck and holds you close.
Life is sweet.

In my pajamas at 6 because I want to feel the soft, cozy, Minky Couture Monster blanket against my skin. My boss got all of us one as a Christmas gift, on top of the party at Red Rock (I had rehearsal 🫤), extra paid time off for the holidays, and a bonus at the top of the year.
So much gratitude.❤️

Took a knitting break for cast photos. I received some very kind compliments on my acting skills tonight. I wish I had dove back into theatre decades ago.

Another random day off, so I'm knitting hats while I watch another Christmas movie before I make treats for tomorrow's work Christmas party.
Aww. They pinky swore.
