Besides the teeny tiny deck of cards there is also a giant one (probably 8x10 inches) that I already wrapped.
Forgot about some of the things I put away for my nieces’ and nephew’s holiday presents🙂

Unexpected Aimee Mann lyrics (and hence a pleasant earworm) and beautiful art.
The moth don't care if the flame is real
The flame and moth got a sweetheart deal
And nothing fuels a good flirtation
Like need and anger and desperation

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Taking a mental health/my-uterus-is-trying-to-turn-me-inside-out day was very guilt inducing, but I feel like I did it right: bagels from Long Island, scratch hot chocolate with marshmallows, and a free trial for Hallmark+ to go with the tears and the heating pad.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

I wish the farm I frequent had plain old orange carrots. I look like I’ve been partially fingerprinted. (This is after multiple scrubbings.)

We are taking a little break from our usual schedule!
The next episode of So Disappointed will be out just before Christmas.
Guess what it’s about?
We’ve usually got all our interviews done by this point but the host is still recovering from injuries. In the meantime!
