slipping around on an ice hillock to try and put the trash cans away and reach out to grab the closest upright material next to me. Which is a climbing rose bush. Not my best move.

Constantly amazed at how people will still just send you their password in email when they're having login troubles, especially when you can tell from looking at it that it's probably one they reuse.

I have original art for a Sally Forth Sunday page up for sale on eBay. Art features the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport. All net proceeds of the sale will go to a local Minneapolis school which is being overwhelmed as they help families affected by ICE agents.

Man, it would be nice to see bird seed mixes with native seeds in them other than sunflowers. And I know that part of it is that there's not a lot of extra seed out there, especially regionally, but like someone's got to have echinacea seeds past their germination prime.

I have created multiple ways for this coworker to see the information I’m being asked for and they never get used. I just get another stupid email.

I've gotten to the point in my life where dudes doing a bunch of crotch grabbing when they're dancing it just looks like they need to go pee to me.

Appreciating the fanficcers dropping their new works right now too.
Shout-out to all the brand marketers whose companies made them login during the game so they could launch the "halftime flash sale" emails.

Thought about doing more sewing after spending most of this afternoon on the portfolio because I could get a lot of the oranges done but instead I'm going to drink a ridiculously large cocktail.

23F outside and my husband is lighting the chimney started for the charcoal grill while balanced precariously on an unshoveled ice hillock. Thought about how much I didn’t want to explain that to the attending at the ER so went out with the shovel after to clear the ice.

I hate making practice pieces in stuff I don’t like because what if it comes out good in the end but also what if I waste good fabric on a shitty practice piece? And usually I end up with something okay but not great. Today’s reason I was yelling about binding: a zipper case.

Fuck binding into the sea!

Love to tell a parent “hey, your kid can’t control your dog and it’s endangering other people” and getting a “thanks for your feedback” response that you can tell means they aren’t going to do a fucking thing about the situation.

Last night’s dream theatre was once again “back to uni but I don’t know my classes or where they are” with a bonus mass shooting and hiding in non-Euclidean buildings so that sucked.
