I'm currently looking like an aboslute PSYCHO trying to get a fly out of my office that has been buzzing around all day.

I CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS LITTLE ASSHOLE ANYMORE. SOMEONE COME PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY.

"yeah, dispatch, we've completed our investigation and are no longer needed at the scene. The alarm was due to bird poo. Back on dispatch channel, returning to quarters"

I do ALSO want a haircut. Lol. But I’ve been joking for ages about walking into a spa and being like “I have a $2,000 limit on this card. What will that buy me that will take 8-12 hours?” and then just…taking a very long nap.

Same, because it likes to be that way no matter how much hairspray and teasing is applied.

And currently my hair is heavy and rather gross. I haven’t cut it in 2 years and it really is WAY too heavy for my head and every time it gets caught in my armpit I want to smash things.

Too dangerous for my vacuum.

I actually don’t love my hair being heated in any way, and I refuse to pay for my hair to be flat in 10 minutes. Lol. All that sweating and discomfort for nothing.

Too dangerous to my antique glassware.

I can’t do before 7pm on Monday and not at all on Tuesday, so that’s not going to work for me unfortunately!

I want a hair cut.

Ok, what I really want is for someone to scratch my scalp and play with my hair for an hour, and if I have to pay someone to cut my hair to get it then…*sigh* ok fine.

Now I have to decide who I trust with scissors.

Wed Mess Day Thrifty Bits! Thrifted shirt, pants are “just old”. Lol. Earrings from Splurge, rings from the cart in the Historic Properties.

Now running home Toot Sweet (as it out loud, Canadians!) to try to avoid the upcoming downpour.

And just for clarity if you’re new here: this is my son Pete

I’m pretty sure that Tuesday is their last day. I might be wrong…I wish they had an actual website. Lol

One of my students asked me why Pete didn't come to class today. 🥹

My students remember the name of my son!

I would say "it's Monday. You're forgiven" but then I remembered it's Wednesday and...no. Michelle, get with the program. lol

That’s an interesting take on the next line of the song, but I’ll accept it.

We’ll call it the Grunt Remix

MS Europa, waaaaayyyy out there about to disappear behind Herring Cove. I heard her toot goodbye during my Knit Night Zoom Party. A+ Floaty Boaty behaviour. Well done, captain and bon voyage! Enjoy Boston.

I live here, so I’m well aware. Lol.

Usually the used clothing is NOT affordable and hence my air-quotes “curated” clothing collections. You can charge $125 for a second-hand jean jacket (that was $40 new 10 years ago) because it’s part of your carefully curated boutique collection.
awesomebiota.bsky.social
They don’t “have to”. There are a TON of second-hand stores on the peninsula, and I doubt any of them are getting rent breaks. But also all of them are struggling.
awesomebiota.bsky.social
Iiiiiinnnnteresting. Fingers crossed they do well there. The rent is going to be crazy-expensive if it’s the building I think it is.
awesomebiota.bsky.social
YEAH THAT TOO.

Plus how dare you say I’m approaching 30. I’ve earned these grey hairs. RUDE.

Stop telling me what to do, mom.
