And yet inexplicably every single chaos agent has yet to invoke the 25th amendment.

I could watch this on an endless loop all day.

Well done!!

Petrichor

If in doubt, PIZZA!

Bamboo, too, but put in a barrier so it won’t over grow in your yard. 100% that looks like a spite fence.

…and microwave warmed up with a mug of water for 3 min makes a great proofing box.

A regular fridge works, too.

To be honest, Corsi-Rosenthal boxes are so economical to make and can be a great team building exercise as well as a great class project for science regarding molecule size as well as fungi, bacteria, virus. Great learning opportunity PLUS it keeps a class room safe.

*Correction: I retired July 2024. Damn typo!

Looks divine!!!

Today we replaced the 1st hepa uv air filter we bought in 2020–the one I dutifully kept at my desk, turned on 24/7 until I retired in July 2020. We have others in the house, but finally replaced this one which served me so well. I highly recommend everyone gets one. 🦠🦠🦠

Lovely! Is there a special sweet cheese that goes with it? Got a recipe? That looks so special!

Yum!

How did you reward yourself?

😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬

Everything has an end, but a sausage has two.

🤤🤤🤤

I am glad you had the opportunity to say goodbye🩷

Perhaps it might be useful to either silence notifications or perhaps block everyone for the day. It’ll stop the texts, and if there is something important and they call, you can check your blocked voicemail folder when you feel like it. I have done this with some measure of success.

Very sorry for your loss. My relationship w/mom was unnecessarily complicated, and her death during the shutdown of 2020 robbed me of any possible resolution, but in hindsight, no amount of time would have changed things. It still feels like a pebble in my shoe on a long hike.

It isn’t creeping. It is here in full effect.

As is my annual tradition, I listen to my mom’s last voicemail to me, informing me #covid19 was detected at her nursing home. Her birthday was 3/1, and death day 5/4. But 4/9 hits me different than either of the other 2 dates. 🦠🦠🦠

Ooooh, I had emotional support MASHED potatoes this week! I added butter and fancy garlic herb Boursin cheese.

Protip: For those who miss Blockbuster, go visit your local thrift stores to scope out their dvd selections. Oftentimes they charge about $2 per dvd (ymmv), and if you decide after watching the movie you don’t want to keep it, you can donate it back to the thrift store.

Bravo!! 🍀🍀🍀
