you can have my spare boxes of pasta if you can get here.

I found out I'm pre-diabetic (I blame all the stress-eating this year tbh), so I need to get through everything in my kitchen and start a new, better diet. But I'm poor enough from move-prep and all the doctor visits from being so fucking sick the past couple months that I can't just.... buy a lot of new food right now.

So I'm still eating relatively poorly (I'm eating healthy lunches at least since I go through lunch-foods faster) until it's all gone.

I fucking hate waking up before sunrise.

We are on strike this week and next. Picketing in the relentless rain, flood warnings for the local area, everything I own is wet through. Drying it out now ready to get back on the picket line for 6.30am tomorrow.

Austin has no magic shop that I can find.
And I don't mean M:tG. I mean 'place I can go to buy silly magic trick gimmicks because I'm a dork who likes them sometimes.'

This reads like a Mage character's background.

"She loved magic, but after looking high and low for a store that sold tricks and tools of prestidigitation to no avail, she noticed a door that she couldn't quite remember having ever been there before..."

This is actually how at least one Bruce Coville book I read as a child started.

So my family (I admit it is something I can be bad about, too, sometimes) is really, really bad about... not telling each other when things are wrong, health-wise.

I just got the 'Happy Thanksgiving' call from my dad.
From my grandmother's hospital room.

She's in with pneumonia. In theory, she's being discharged tomorrow. Which is really good news and I'm hopeful, but Christ. Pneumonia, at her age, this time of year.

Of all my grandparents (and I have only the two left; my mom's parents died when I was little and we lost my dad's biological mother last year).... she's the one that I was always closest to.

My nephew is back in hospital, having overdosed on insulin, because he was drunk/on drugs again and his friends tried to help him by giving it to him. So driving to Oxford, in the pissing rain, comforting my mother, and then translating doctor to let my sister know what is happening...

I hope he stays clean this time. He won't but it would be a nice Christmas present.

Wearing my wonderful cozy ancient-but-broken-in jeans today.

Button broke.

Currently using some shambled together paper clip setup.

I'm tempted to go home early because today is fired.

That is totally how I felt Friday. I was trying to see if a craft would work but instead ended up with black paint all down my front.

You can learn a lot about a person by how they treat their "enemies".

If you fall asleep with Spotify's "Tastebreakers" playlist, you're going to wake up in the middle of the night trying to figure out WTF is happening and what that noise is. She said at 5:16 AM.

<mumbles> Motherfucker, I don't get up this early for work.

Stupid peeve:
I'm on a tight budget rn because of moving in a month, but my hair is at that length where it is driving me insane.
Unfortunately, the place I found that can cut my hair right is $80.
