J and I had a conversation over the weekend about how we're sad that the American flag has been co-opted and has become a symbol of the right. So J ordered some Biden/Harris signs and we're decorating a section of our yard with signs and flags because screw that.

I saw someone say that everyone they knew with a flag flying outside their house was a republican. 🤦🏻♀️

Our house came with a giant flagpole with an American flag on it. MH wanted to put up Biden signs, but no one drives down our street.

We have a Biden sign in our window. It’s the only one I’ve seen in our city. 🙄

We took advantage of my dad being here to take some Santa pictures and, just, squee! I'm going to print out the pictures we have of both kids as babies with my dad and put them up at Christmas.

We have a flagpole from the previous owners, but we took the flag down because it was in tatters and then I just never replaced it. I was just saying we should get a new one plus a Biden flag. We can be patriotic too, dammit!

I may have been a little ambitious when loading my nachos. NO RAGRATS!

I got my hair done today (so wore a mask for 2 hrs) and I can already feel my face breaking out. It is SO sensitive to sweat and apparently my breath. I used all my salicylic acid products before I put it on and immediately washed my face when I got home but my skin doesn't give a single shit about the care I tried to give it. I hate it. I hate my face, or rather the skin on my face.

Once we move I'll have to find a new hairstylist after going to my current one for over 8 years 😭, so I wanted something that could grow out without looking crazy in case it takes me awhile to find a new one (it def will). She's become a friend and I enjoy my hair appts so much. I'm going said to be sad to lose them.

Our very annoying, narcissistic neighbours are putting their house up for sale and I’m so relieved. We’ve spent the last 6 months tip toeing around our own home and they still manage to tell us every time they can hear our kids run down the hall or wake up motn.

Two days ago I was on the toilet and Nugget tried to barge in so I could button her dress. Like, your dad is 15 feet away, why don't you ask him? Or wait 3 minutes for your non emergency situation?

If I’m looking for fabric to recover a dining chair, do I need to know anything specific?

Why is it that when UPS is delivering me laundry detergent it is here at 8am, and when it is something delicious and edible that I've been waiting for they say to "expect delivery by 9pm" and it arrives at like 6pm.
Also I put myself on an ice cream and popcorn ordering break and immediately switched to being obsessed with 1/2 lb cookies shipped from NYC. I can't control myself.

I procrastinated spraying with scotch guard though and now they have to be recovered so don't do what I did - spray them, lol.

Our chairs need to be recovered SO badly. The seat was an ivory colored fabric that now looks like a crime scene.

I went to see the ortho PA this morning. I have some wearing down at the bottom of my kneecap, which she thinks was just really exacerbated when I kneeled down. She gave me a cortisone shot in my knee, which hurt a lot going in, but hopefully should help.

I woke up with a really bad headache. I’ve had 2 aleve and a cup of coffee and 32 oz of water and an allergy pill and it still hurts. Wtf.
Side note: it’s the first headache I’ve had on 2 weeks since I quit drinking and eating sugar. Hmmmmmmm.
