This is the worst #Smackdown episode in awhile. The NOLA crowd is super low energy and it’s weird.

I made a massive batch of Texas red chili for tomorrow’s chili cookoff and it is SO. GOOD. Fingers crossed I can take another win this year! Last year it was a Mac & Cheese cookoff.

Today’s $8 finds at Garbage Wars: An unpunched Everdell: Farshore Essentials Edition; a sloth plushie that you put in the microwave to be a heating pad, and a pasta machine for rolling out clay in my studio. About $200 worth of stuff got $40!

Some nights I have to choose whether to take my pain meds or my anxiety meds and tonight I chose poorly.

I applied to two full-time jobs today and it feels like I'm giving up on my freelance business entirely. I'm also maybe putting my health at risk but I'm hopeful that a remote "real job" will offer me the flexibility I need. I'm having a lot of feelings.

Rustled bushes looking for clients. Emailed to excitedly let them know I’ve “got openings” (read: I’m desperate for work) I’m at the point where I really, really wish I could work full-time but my body won’t let me. But I’m nowhere near disabled enough (yet) to qualify for disability.

If there’s one thing TFG has learned from Putin is that it doesn’t matter if his actions are popular while he’s executing his authoritarian takeover. Breaking even his own people down is the point. I just hope we can do enough to stop it.

So grateful for my governor. This entire thread is so important.

I did the hard thing today. It sucked. I don’t know what to do now.

I read Chris Wylie’s Cambridge Analytica book and I (probably wisely) don’t trust anything anymore. Everything is way more Person of Interesty than I believed possible, except somehow way worse?

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

I had a really good day today. Can translate this mood into action tomorrow? I sure hope so.

I am CRYING. Near sobbing. My bestie who has been out of work for over a year got a job today. Freelance so no benefits, but it’s full time, good money. She’s going to be ok.

Ravelry has its problems but I was just able to buy the discontinued yarn to finish my mom's Blackwatch-plaid themed coat so I am so, so, so loving it right now. #crochetsky #yarnsky #isthatathing?

It is truly staggering how many Milwaukee dive bars are also Pokestops. We spent 2 hours playing PokémonGo tonight and then went out for sangria. My class may suck but weekly sleepovers are really rad.

If your friend confides in you and tells them they’re emotionally burnt out and need some space, DON’T CALL THE MUTUAL FRIEND WHOSE HUSBAND JUST DIED SUDDENLY and tell them you’re concerned they’re burning out your friend. FFS people are monsters.

Calling out the cavalry for our best floof, Gimli, currently at the emergency vet. @tiarala at Venmo if you’re able to help contribute. We’ve just maxed out our last card after a VERY bad financial year and we’re hopeful the estimate doesn’t get blown apart.

I do need to be reminded of this frequently.

Adrian took me to Girl & the Goat for dinner and Chef Stephanie Izard continues to be my inspiration for how I want my food to taste. Sweet, savory, tart all at once in every composed bite. Every meal there and at Little Goat is memorable and incredible.

I would kill it on PBS’s Great American Recipe but I’ve got no family cooking tradition. Mom can’t cook. Dad’s specialty was Chop Suey. Even my grandma didn’t cook from scratch. I’ve taught myself so many cuisines (including traditional Hungarian) but it’s only “family recipes” that are celebrated.
