every day the sunrise is earlier and the sunset is later, and around here that’s a thing to celebrate.

this right here.

Preach.

Bought a hair product yesterday that I actually like! Dry texture finishing spray by Tresasemmé. It actually does give my straight, thin strands some oomph without being sticky, so everything doesn't just fall flat and forward like normal. Here ends the free advertising.

No day off today. Can't complain. We get a lot of holidays.

[singing...] Stuck inside the bedroom with the Omicron blues again...

Jacqueline already purchased our first item for the Attic library. The all important Vintage Steamer Trunk, this one with a hotel sticker from Raffles in Singapore: [link]

We might just cosplay the entire house up at this rate.

I am so happy to have the day off. I sat and knit for most of yesterday (but did manage to wash dishes in the sink and get one load of clothes washed/hung up to dry). Have started out today the sitting and knitting watching Shang-Chi, but I am about to get up and get going:

- set roomba to work
- shower
- wash bed linens
- put away clothes in bedroom & pick out work outfits for the rest of week
- re-arranging basement into formation I have been thinking about for months - started
- lunch
- vacuum upstairs
- 3:25 Spider-man in a MOVIE THEATER (the first in over 2 years)
- cook some and/or bake some (banana bread/green chili chicken corn chowder/spaghetti squash)
- knit and watch Free Guy
- watch Flee and the short The Windshield Wiper because Free Guy is not on Disney yet
- bed early

If I get it all done will be a happy happy thing. Off I go.

Yay for getting the day off! No such luck here.

In life not all Monday misery news, contractor for interested buyer coming tomorrow to check out house. And my sister has had a busy hectic day including a shower and PT. Both excellent developments.

Wish I had the day off! Woke up with headache instead. I don’t think the jaw Botox is cutting it, though it’s also my neck and stuff that is messed up. Ugh. Not getting nearly as much work done as I should. Aka I have gotten almost zero done today and it’s 11am.

Go, msbelle.

Good news, Laura!

Boo to migraine, meara. Not on.

Apparently it's 65° here today. Guess I will take a walk.

The day is going too fast at the moment. Needs to slow its roll.

Boo to omicron blues, but yay for decorating the new house!!

JZ's dad gave her $900 in credit at Crate and Barrel which he somehow got through frequent flier miles (I think). And we've never really been able to use it because our apartment is already furnished and it's small.

But now we're getting new stuff for the new place and we've got two whole units to fill. So we're trying to combine our credit with the President's Day Sale and I'm looking at things like this: [link]

Which looks really cool if we can get past the snicker-able name.

You get that FOR the name. Lean into it. Be 12 every goddamn morning as you sip your espresso.

Excellent strategy.
