My family has put me in charge of most of our Christmas Eve dinner bc I’m the best cook but omg it is truly cruel to have me make wedding soup when I can’t eat it bc I’m a vegetarian!! Got it simmering now and it smells so good. I’m gonna have to make a vegetarian version for myself after the holidays. It’s the only thing I really miss.
My mom keeps spamming the group chat with AI pics of her in front of christmas-y backgrounds and I can't tell if she's being self aware about it or not. At first I thought she was but now I'm second guessing.
I put on one of those burning yule logs that they have on streaming services and didn’t realize I had captions on. My TV literally closed captioned a log in a fire place. It basically made notes like “(SOUND OF WOOD CRACKLING),” “(SILENT NIGHT SOFTLY PLAYING IN BACKGROUND)” and stuff like that. I was gonna turn off those settings but honestly, it was pretty amusing so I kept them on
My 90 year old grandpa is declining real fast health wise and is now in the nursing home part of his life. I guess it's eating up all his monetary assets so my aunt who is one of the powers of attorney suggested that the grandkids just get their inheritance payed out now before it's all gone. One of those things where you can't blame me for being excited that I am looking at getting at least like 25k way sooner than I thought, but sad situation that led to it.
I have this thing where I can only watch A Christmas Story on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Growing up, my family would keep it on in the background when TBS did their 24-hour marathon. It’s the only movie that I put on that makes it feel like Christmas. I can’t watch it any other day of the season
Crazy that before refrigeration most people basically just ate meat in the form of salted dried preserved. Imagine only eating Slim Jims.
Idk if a seal broke or my apartment building shifted or what but my toilet is no longer firmly touching the bathroom floor like it was 4 or so hours ago. There’s some sort of grease or something slightly pooling on one side (and believe me, it’s not something much worse lol there is no smell to whatever this is, at least not yet thank god lol). Will email maintenance about it shortly. One of the times I’m glad I rent because if I owned a house and had this happen it would take me forever to figure out the issue and I’d be too stupid to fix it anyway so it would probably cost a lot
Saw a news story of a car crashing into a house in Milwaukee yesterday. Even though this house is in the middle of a block in a random neighborhood the same house had a different car crashing into it in February! I cannot imagine how livid and baffled I would be if that happened to me lmao
saw a news story from a town over today where a dude attempted to steal meat while wearing nothing more than a mask
A car crashed into one of the units in my apartment complex a few years back. Went right through the bedroom window. Luckily nobody was hurt. The house I grew up in was right on a corner next a street that was across the street from a stop sign turn. My mom was always terrified someone was going to plow into the house. We had a few close calls where street signs and lights got hit.
I saw a maga cult co worker post something on how 2026 will be great with a photo of Trump. These people truly need their brains studied. They don’t see how he’s destroying the country. They don’t care that he’s a racist rapist. They say nothing about his declining dementia, but never shut up about Biden. I’m afraid for what is to come with the current administration.
The people in the apartment above me (and the assigned parking spot in the garage) moved out this week. They’d been there for the last 5-7 years and were great neighbors in terms of never hearing them and never parking like a dipshit. I hope I can say the same for whoever moves in next.
one second, you haven't heard a song in years... and the next you're singing no, I don't want your number, no, I don't wanna give you mine
For the past few years I’ve been trying to stay a little more organized by using a planner/calendar, and I always end up buying the ones the have extra pages for noted and tasks, but never used those pages as well as I would skip a few months. I bought one from Amazon that’s a 2-year one for 2026 and 2027, but the down side it’s just a basic calendar. No extra pages or notes or tasks. It was also like $10 for 2 years instead of like $10 for just 1 year. Anyway, I bought the simple one because of my past habits of forgetting all about it and not being great at organizing. But since I’m trying to get out more and plan things, I’m wondering if I should have just went to tj maxx and got a yearly planner from there with the extra pages.
The post-holiday blues are hitting super hard. I had a great Christmas and a fun trip afterwards. I’m dreading going back to work tomorrow
