in which this was gonna to be a twitter thread but it got too long remembering how broke i was my whole adult life (basically until entering middle age), and how i accumulated debt just being alive because it cost more to live than i ever earned, and how jobs have steadily degraded since i […]
In which we went somewhere! Worked Saturday and did, like, an insanely busy twelve-hundred dollar day at the cheese shop. Sunday we slept in and cuddled, which was fucking lovely, and then cleaned the house, packed out, and drove to Portland. Arrived around eight o’clock, and crashed at my friend Leila’s house. My other high […]
In which my NEW PLATES have ARRIVED! I now have service for six instead of merely service for four. This is truly the radiant glory of middle age: having six each of three sizes of plates and one size of bowl, that mostly-but-don’t-entirely-match my existing dishes (because they no longer make my pattern)! It’ll be […]
In which there’s baking. Tonight’s dinner: A freshly baked loaf of bread on the left. On the right, leftover bucatini with store-bought vodka sauce and tofu “meatballs” I made with basically no regard for the recipe I’d read. Fresh basil from the plant on my kitchen window sill! Not shown: it cooled down to the […]
In which I admit it, I’m feeling despair. Multiple airlines, who want bail-outs because of the pandemic, have announced they won’t be requiring staff to vaccinate. This makes me glad I chose not to fly out to DC in October to visit my friend Stephen. No, it makes me angry. Fuck those fucking dipshits. I […]
In which I’m making soup! I’ve just put some vegetables, herbs de Provence, and broth into the Instantpot. Will add cream when it’s done and blend it. Baked a stunning loaf of bread last night; gonna make a brie sandwich with it and that’ll be dinner! Pluto has a channel that just plays endless back-to-back […]
in which i rage a little you have no idea how much time and intention i put into overcoming that shitty “everyone is stupid” attitude smart people often fall prey to and which turns them into assholes, only to end up in this timeline where a third of the population is demonstrably, irrefutably stupid i […]
in which there’s a complaint being old sucks because everything hurts all the goddamned time for no reason and i get uglier day by day but at least there’s rampant government and corporate corruption, grift, a global pandemic, and the climate to make me feel worse! racists, anti-vaxxers, MAGAts (i cannot imagine finding the former […]
In which there’s a post. Got home from work and ordered a pizza. Quattro formaggi. Ate half of it and it was delicious. Now watching a movie on Amazon Prime. Uh, let’s see. I bought rye flour and am going to bake my first ever loaf of rye bread soon. The house needs cleaned AGAIN. […]
In which fuck it, I’ve opened an account at Chase after all. I’ve been using an excellent online bank called Simple for years. They paid killer interest, the app worked flawlessly, and it’s just been really pleasant, especially considering how infuriating banking has been for me most of my adult life (primarily due to poverty, […]
