I'll just take this as a sign that I need to smart making bread again. 🤣

Sadly with my lack of counter space and my eczema hands, I can't really do the kneeding by hand anymore. Guess I'll have to look into a bread machine.

No plans for me bc I have no life.

I made mac and cheese for dinner. I spent my evening rewatching Victoria (I only have about 800,000 shows and movies to watch. Why not watch something I've already seen?). And I've made no resolutions, but I did write a list of hopes for the next year.

I had an interesting day at work. Simple, mostly. Nobody yelled at me. But, I did have several times where I didn't have a call for several minutes. I kept checking to see if my phone app hadn't hung up.

And...I caught a potentially fraudulent transaction. Guy called in to check an order under

First shift back after a week and a half off starts in a few minutes. Lord, this feels brutal. 😭 It's amazing how quickly you can fall out of routine...

Duuuuudddde. If that had been my ticket, I would have been booking an appointment with a plastic surgeon and researching how to change my name before the claim center opened the next morning... 😂

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

Perimenopause is hard in the summer, but it's surprisingly harder in the winter.

With the windchill it was like 20 last night. Lots of heat on.

Woke in the night, too hot. So I take off my pj pants, only cover up with a sheet (I HAVE to have something covering me at night), and turn on a fan.

House is shut down. Faucets are dripping. Heaters are on. The way the wind is blowing so hard and the temperature dipping has given me a massive headache, so I took several ibuprofen. Now I'm gonna put on some soothing ASMR and massage my head. See if I can overcome this pain. 🤞🏻

My brother called me tonight for the first time. I haven't initiated any calls because I was afraid I'd be awkward and not know what to say. But we just talked for like 2.5 hrs and it was so fun. He kept asking if I have questions for him. Um, yeah I have 1000s. But the problem is I have so many, I

I just had to go yell out my back door because there's an entire f'ing party happening next door and they all parked in my backyard! Wtf

These people are going too damned far.

It's really wrong that it's Dec. 28th and I am going to have to turn on the ac. 😫 76 degrees with 65% humidity. Ridiculous.

And tomorrow the high will be 40. Even more ridiculous.

Well, I don't guess I should feel too bad about yesterday's confrontation with the neighbor, considering there's been the usual parade of company the last 24 hours driving through my damned yard.

Can civilians buy spike strips? Asking for a friend...

Ohhhh. Look at all these puzzle pieces clicking...

I just got $100 more reward certificates from work. I don't know what for. They give them for a variety of reasons, but there's never any explanation for what I did to earn them.

Anyway. I'm up to like $300 now. That could be $600 in merchandise, depending on what I buy (the co. has 11 different

Just had to go talk to the chicken neighbors.

Dude was out there putting stakes all over my backyard. I'm like wtf? So I watched a minute and realized he's setting up obstacles to teach the daughter to drive. (She's been circling through their yard all morning).

So I went out to meet him. He tried

Oh my goodness. I totally forgot to watch the #CallTheMidwife Christmas special! 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's SO bizarre to see little Timothy Turner all grown up. Not just doctoring, but drinking and smoking. I swear he was just a little boy wearing his polio braces just a second ago.

God, I AM old...😂

He's at it again! 😂
Y'all, I forgot to update you on yesterday's weird neighbor driving adventures.

Since it was so warm, I spent some time on the porch again. I kept hearing a car in their drive but nobody ever came or left. So I pulled up my camera app to look without LOOKING.

They spent roughly an hour just

I followed up the '94 Little Women with the '49 one, chocolates, and some egg nog.

I love both versions so much, for different reasons. Just like with P&P 1995 and 2005. They're both great for different reasons and I will never choose one over the other!

But I've seen the '49 LW so often I

Jo has just refused Laurie. Ugh.

I know she didn't love him that way, and she has another path, but...Laurie is so wonderful. And it's bb Christian Bale! 😍

Since I'm alone today, I'm wrapping myself in lovely things to keep from feeling too sad. So currently doing a rewatch of a comfort classic - 1994 Little Women.

Amy just plunged into the icy lake after burning Jo's manuscript.

I will always argue Jo should have let the little witch drown/freeze.🤷🏻‍♀️

There was a single Powerball winner last night and they were from Arkansas.

I promise you, it wasn't me. I wouldn't be advertising it if was, 😂 but I will say it unfortunately wasn't me. God, how I wish it was!
December 25, 2025 at 5:36 PM
Ohhhh. I'm just in time to watch the neighbors play musical cars. Someone has just driven the truck down the road, into the church parking lot, and is now turning back. 😂
