I have all my presents wrapped. Everyone is mildly sick or really sick with flu/covid. I just want to get a few days off work, eat snacks, read books, and take excessive naps.

It smells like someone heated up leftover spaghetti for their breakfast. I'm at work, sniffing the air, trying to figure out which coworker is unorthodox about their breakfast choices.

I finished my Christmas craft. It's for my sister. She's into gingerbread Christmas decor and most of it seems to be breakable. She has a very busy 2 year old.
This is painted cardboard and ribbon. He can't break it break it and there's less than $6 invested in the creation of this.

I turned the heat up in my office and I need everyone to know that I feel like a lizard on a sunny rock. Toasty

Today's Wordle, Connections, and Strands took me less than 3 minutes to do all of them.
Personal best. Got the Wordle 2nd guess, did the Connections without any errors, and did the Strands without using any hints.
I might never come down from this high.
I might be a genius. 🤣

On my drive to work this morning, I saw a chicken pecking for its breakfast in someone's yard.
It was a pretty chicken.
It was in downtown Conway.
I will now be on Chicken Watch for the next few weeks.

Well, it's up. New lights, tree was bought last year after Christmas, and the skirt was my grandma's.
I do a star theme and it's hilarious how many star ornaments I have... but now we love Star Trek so much and I have a lot of those ornaments. It's still star-themed lol

I spent $160 on groceries. I was stuck in grocery pickup hell.
I came home, put it all away, and cooked a frozen pizza.
Tadaa-- look ma, no hands!

Spencer was startled awake by me saying, "They're buttholes. They ate everything."
So he patted my arm and said, "...What?"
To which I repeated my initial proclamation and then growled at him.... which is how he figured out I was dead asleep. 🤣

Shadow is sleeping on my pillow... wrapped around my head.
Piggy is under the covers.
Dutch is on top of the covers.
And Roz is wandering the living room, singing the song of her people, with a mousie toy in her mouth.

Well, I just saw a huuuuge shooting star, so I have to go buy a lottery ticket.
I just pushed Shadow with my foot until I got him off the carpet because he was doing that hork hork thing they do before they hurl.
Anyway, I felt mean, but it worked. He missed the carpet.
The Universe is on my side today. I guess I should go buy a lottery ticket.

So when we renovated our house, like 4 groups of workers were up in my attic at various times. (Electricians, AC crew, insulation spray crew, and a crew who did flush mount lights in the new office.)
They all destroyed my attic.
I've finally chosen to get it back fixed and it's killing me.

I've been home 59 minutes and so far I've-
Stepped on Roz's tail. She screamed. I screamed. We all screamed.
And swatted Shadow off the counter (He was lurking towards my poppyseed chicken)
So I have two cats pissed at me going into the weekend.
