"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

shrift, did the cleaning help? We don't keep veg in the veggie drawer because it's too cold no matter what. Does better on the shelves.

In other news, while I'm a district teacher of the year, my essays were not compelling to move me on to the next level of competition. Which makes sense. I'm not the Make-You-Cry-With-Emotion sappy sort.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm always having issues with veggies freezing because I like my water super cold. It's a trade off.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

One kitten got her claws in the extendable duster and I dragged her across the kitchen like a cat mop.

Vlad thinks the Swiffer is his mortal enemy, and chases it. Of course, he also thinks the kitchen chairs are his mortal enemies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I swear to god, the trash guys are trying to lose my trash an lid. Just saw one wrench it from its tiedown and toss it into the middle of the alley

A benefit I hadn't thought of of our new city-provided trash cans!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

A benefit I hadn't thought of of our new city-provided trash cans!

I love our city-provided trash cans, because they're roll-y carts, which makes them much easier to take out/bring in (I either dragged the old ones, which eventually destroyed the bottoms, or carried them, which wasn't that great on my back). (Now that I work from home, I have become the de facto trash cart taker-outer/bringer-in-er. At least for the non-snowy months.)

Oh yeah, the rolliness is the benefit I did know.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It's so hard to replace blown away trash can lids. Unless somebody else's blows into your yard.

I went out on an early-morning expedition to get Chumley's prescription cat food, which I have to swing by the vet's to get. Did he prefer the chicken or tuna flavor, the vet tech asked me. "He likes food," I said, quite truthfully.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's a long time since I had to come up with my own trash can.

Punishingly Intricate

"Ask yourself the three things you must always ask yourself before you say anything. 1) Does this need to be said? 2) Does this need to be said by me? 3) “Does this need to be said by me now?"

This is what I spend the majority of my time at work thinking. And I so rarely know the correct answer.
