For God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power and love and self-control.

A little excited about having a big antique fireplace to decorate. I’ve even given thought to drawing or painting something to go above it, but this painting might convince me otherwise.

some programs are so needy when you’re updating or installing.

ESPECIALLY on Windows.

Some programs (cough, Adobe) will literally black out your screen and it will be a lone install prompt. Way to push your way to the front of the line.

Or it’ll just be consistently trying to pop over what I’m working on or WORSE! just flash in my taskbar like a needy little shit. Like, okay, I see you, got it, in a sec. Okay JUST GIVE ME ONE DAMN SECOND.

Way into this idea.

grocery pickup

I remember when I was a kid, grocery stores with drive-thru pickup started being built, where you could go grocery shopping and then they’d haul your loot to the drive-thru, where they’d load it up for you.

SO CONVENIENT.

It has bothered me for YEARS why no one uses them anymore. Did something happen? Did some law pass? In this world of convenience, how is it this one super convenient service, for something people do constantly, now extinct? Why? WHY?!

I move into a loft-type space in a month. It’s a wonderful space; 18-foot ceilings, huge fireplace, huge porch – but almost zero storage.

Besides getting REAL with my belongings, and getting rid of a lot, I will need storage. I’ve been hitting Pinterest and Apartment Therapy hard for inspiration, as I’d really like to avoid buying new furniture. Curtain dividers, wardrobes, vertical shelving, bed lifts – I’ve considered a lot.

I was complaining to a colleague this morning about how the end of my fishtail braid was all gross, because I accidentally dipped it into my sugar-free soy cinnamon dolce latte. And immediately, in my head:
