We had a cute new cat visitor this weekend. Snow Jr is being a jerk and scaring them away. Probably for the better and that’s how nature is, etc. etc. but it’s hard to see/hear.
Poor wittle bebe
Look at this fun necklace Carrie W sent me! It says “be kind” on top then if you pull that up it says “…of a badass.” I had been looking at these types of necklaces and hadn’t mentioned it to her at all, and it just showed up at the house! I love it!
Have crewneck sweatshirts been making a comeback? Or have I just fallen in love with them over the past few years? I used to be a hoodie sweatshirt girl but I’ve just been digging the crewnecks!
Ha, just another reminder to fact check ChatGPT. I was asking it to help me summarize some of my flying blog posts for lessons learned and it came back with “Lesson Learned: Prepare for the unexpected, like how the door popped open during takeoff, and have a plan to stay calm and address issues safely.” THAT NEVER HAPPENED and hopefully NEVER WILL. We thoroughly check the doors EVERY flight.
And another reminder – it’s really never appropriate to comment on people’s weight gain or loss. I know someone who lost weight unintentionally due to health issues and they’re getting lots of compliments on it. They’re actually trying to gain the weight back.
And now for the whiny stuff – I’ve complained about this before but WHY WHY WHY does Google contacts delete birthdays? Like, a contact’s birthday will legit go missing from their contact card, and therefore, from my calendar, which I use to plan for birthdays. So I get to the end of December and realize I haven’t planned anything for Lindsey’s birthday because it’s *POOF* gone. And every time I try to google this it just comes up with ways to turn my birthday calendar back on. Thanks, but I know that. HOW CAN I STOP CONTACTS FROM EDITING ITSELF?! (What I do is make a recurring calendar appointment for their birthday along with having it on the birthday calendar so it’s doubled up.)
I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed and uncommunicative lately. I find myself not sharing information just so I won’t have to follow up on it or answer questions. Not healthy. I should add – this is for digital communication only. I’m mostly fine if it’s in person.
I was about to hit publish then saw a note on here for “lady hurt PO Monday.” I wasn’t sure if I was going to share that, but whoa, when I got to the post office Monday to drop off packages this woman had just fallen and smacked her head and there was A LOT of blood (she was on blood thinners, and I was like YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO HAVE A SCAN TO MAKE SURE YOU DON’T HAVE A BRAIN BLEED – and that was the second thing the EMTs talked to her about after they arrived). Poor thing. I stayed to help as much as I could, and heard from the postal worker that night that the lady was back home and okay.
Oh, I really love that neckless, how kick ass is that? And have crew necks ever gone out of style? I wear a lot so I’m bias. And how awful for the lady who had a fall. I’m glad you found out she was okay afterwards.

Thank you! It’s so cheeky!
I think they have not, I am just discovering them! Or something! So cozy though.
Me too, she looked very rough and so did the ground around her. Ugh. Poor thing.
I am dying over the necklace! Yes, be kind. Of a badass.
I am big time guilty over not sharing info at work if I feel that it is going to open up a can of worms. Healthy or not, it’s how I cope. Or as I prefer to think of it, “need to know basis”.

It’s so clever!
And I bet you know the difference between sharing important things with the right people and sharing the things that open the can of worms and get nowhere! Sometimes I have what I think is a simple question and I ask and 45 minutes later I am like… how did we get here?!
I keep getting served those necklaces on Instagram! I should keep it in mind as a friend gift because they seem SO perfect! You ARE kind of a badass, so it definitely fits.
Lawdy, lawdy, Chat GPT. They can be SO WRONG sometimes. You should have just slipped that fake story in there to see how many of us have been paying attention, hahaha.
I hate when people comment on weight loss with, “OMG, you look so great!” because it just implies that being fat means looking bad. We have GOT to stop commenting on weight, no matter if it’s weight loss or gain. Gah.
That post office story is crazy!! I’m so glad to hear she’s okay.

I wonder what other sayings they have! I bet someone smarter than me could come up with a lot of fun ideas. And thank you so much!
OMG. I should have! Steven and my dad definitely would have said something. LOL!
YES!!!!! 1000% agree!!!!
I was so happy to hear that too. I am still kind of… disturbed by it. I was recounting it to Steven this weekend and got a bit gaggy.
Hi! I’m Kim, a 40-something-year-old living in northeastern Illinois with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi, Apollo, Starbuck, and Eddard aka Ned. My current main hobbies are running, painting rocks, flying, reading, and eating. I follow a vegan lifestyle and am employed by the federal government. I write about a variety of topics and consider this a “life” blog – a place I can share anything that’s on my mind. Please visit the “About” page to get a better idea of who I am! 🙂

I see similar are on sale on Etsy, so will look maybe after Christmas.
And enjoy wearing those big fleecy crew necks!
Oh cool!
I will! I have one on right meow LOL.
Ha! Ha! LOve it.
