I want a prize, LOL.

Posted on January 31, 2021 by A Dreamer

Welp, we’ve got snow!

Posted on January 31, 2021 by A Dreamer

And not too much! They’re saying ~4″ today and ~2″ tomorrow. That is an amount I can deal with. All week the local news has been doom & glooming over this storm and I was not feeling great about it, … Continue reading →

Is it naptime yet?

Posted on January 30, 2021 by A Dreamer

I have done ALL THE THINGS today. OK, maybe not ALL, but Starbucks has been acquired, and 3 freaking stops to find cat litter. (Snow is coming, which is impacting supply, and I didn’t want to switch up litter on … Continue reading →

Oh, hello existential dread

Posted on January 29, 2021 by A Dreamer

Wait, it’s Wednesday?

Posted on January 27, 2021 by A Dreamer

I’ve just spent the past half hour thinking it was Tuesday. Good that we’re a day closer to the weekend, but I could use an extra day out of nowhere for this thing I’m testing at work. I’ve been working … Continue reading →

So much for my furry alarm clock

Posted on January 25, 2021 by A Dreamer

So, my sunshine alarm goes off at 7, my phone alarm at 7:05. The sunshine alarm just lights up the room and plays some bird sounds and doesn’t really wake me up, but sorta gets my brain ready for the … Continue reading →

No room for stretching out

Posted on January 23, 2021 by A Dreamer

Seriously, she’s managing to take up a full third of the sofa, right in the middle. But I can’t be at all mad, cause she’s cute and sweet and when I took a snooze this afternoon, she came upstairs and … Continue reading →

While I know it’s not all sunshine & rainbows

Posted on January 22, 2021 by A Dreamer

So, I think there might be some stress leaving my body…

Posted on January 21, 2021 by A Dreamer
