went on a donation spree today, very excited to have a bunch of bullshit gone from our house

I think I need to break up with bath and body works after like. 20 years of using them almost exclusively

three wick candles have been jacked up from $21 to 30. The little lotion bottles went from 5 to 8. That’s nuts

I just spent $40 on a candle and a tiny lotion bottle and that is not ideal

man i need to do that

donation spree i mean

i bought a hand scrub and now the bath and body works email list periodically sends me insane sales so maybe if you just hit the timing right

yeah I guess usually I do go during a sale

felled by my own hubris

sterling seems like she might be stabilizing again, I kinda wonder if it was a combo of us having had to move shit around to accommodate chris' mom (major cat phobia) and me being gone

she has been known to Get Mad when I leave

she's still eating and that's my barometer for now

good. fingers crossed she was just being Dramatic about your absence

Claire has usurped the Desk Bed

this was Dixie's traditional spot before she went, then Sterling has owned it since we moved to this house, but it's too hard for her to get up here now

so it's a little sad but I also missed having a purry work friend

Aww that's such a cute little hidey bed spot!!

wow a coup

a dog who has thoughts

photos that look like paintings

it really does

anyway we replaced our basement door and I took a picture of it that looks like it belongs in a horror game

(but it looks nice)

in "it rains it pours" news I think I've got another ear infection

gonna boogie over to the urgent care when I'm done with work because I would prefer not to be dealing with this tomorrow

nooooo ear infections suck so bad

door does look nice

😭💕

I am fine but sad

thumbs up

to cheer ourselves up we picked out Halloween costumes

we will be going as the iconic combination of Bandit, Chilli, and Firetruck

omg perfection

Callen’s been really moody and clingy today. I know he doesn’t understand what’s different but he is definitely aware

status amended: my cat died, my toddler won’t nap, and I have a cough so deep it’s activating my sciatica

fuck today a little bit

what the fuck, life
