Guys, I just realized that I haven’t hit “publish” on a damn thing since August. It’s October. And there were fucking flurries two days ago! Why am I still living in a place that has winter?? I’ve started quite a few pieces, but haven’t finished a one. You’ll like them when I do eventually hit that publish button.

For now, I just have a bunch of things flowing around in my head. Bits and pieces.

My calendar today says “your dog only loves you because you have food.” Shit. Truth. The second I grabbed the bag of shredded cheddar from the bottom of the fridge a few minutes ago, both dogs were upon me. Damn my oldest for sharing with them once and making them know it’s a thing. At least they are forced to lick the floor to get every crumble and I have a few clean spots when it’s all over. The parrots got in on that one too. I have to grab a single shred and hand them out one by one. And if I don’t get the bag put away before the first finishes, it’s round two. I hard stop at two shreds though because birds are actually lactose intolerant.

So breakfast. Breakfast is my favorite least favorite meal of the day. I wake up starving. I think about hash browns. I buy eggs because eggs are a good and healthy breakfast. I buy cereal because how easy is that? Both sit. I end up hard boiling the eggs when they are ready to expire. Sometimes…
