- I had a very vivid dream that I had a single hairless rat that communicated thru pantomime that they really wanted to go to the beach, and I said there was just the lake, and they were fine with that. Then when we got there, they refused to leave their warm bonding pouch cuz it was cozy.
- Re: "Eat Cheese and Sin" sticker on my car one time a car pulled up alongside us on the road, the driver and passenger were gesturing at us to roll down our window. I was anxious cuz, y'know, potential road rage but no, they shouted "EAT CHEESE AND SIN!" in jubilant, guttural voices and sped off
- The car I'm inheriting from family soon is a used 2017 Chrysler 200, and you can bet the first things I'm doing are looking up common repairs... and re-buying my bumper stickers I refuse to drive a car that doesn't have the "eat cheese and sin" sticker on the back
- We're officially not driving my Chevy Sonic cuz it finally needs repairs I cannot do myself and cost like $600+. I'm actually inheriting a used car from family soon, so the timing is good. But man, end of an era. Bye, little Sonic. I kept that thing alive with my own hands for years.
- I've repaired or replaced something in that car several times a year successfully, more than I expected, but I kinda new inevitably something would break I couldn't do myself or afford. That day is now. Hell, first week I owned it the air intake hose crumbled and I had to replace it.
- I replaced air intake hose, thermostat assembly, intake manifold arm, radiator cooling fan (twice), coolant housing assembly, cut and reattached brittle hoses in the coolant line I dunno, I might be a little emotional about saying bye to this car, lol I paid for this car entirely with comic jobs
- since hourly comic day moved to Feb 8th, looks like I'm gonna once again be drawing hourlies while on-shift at the escape room
- Me: Hey while I'm out, you want me to get anything, like from Walgreens or Aldi's-- Sara: Al-deez-nuts
- Still can't believe I really thought I was gonna launch my damn webcomic in the summer given my new job and workloads. I'm a fool. A moron. A dingdong. New goal: before Spring ends.
- At the escape room, a couple is playing our serial killer room and ran out of time. They exclaimed "what do we do, we're out of time!" Then they firmly embraced as if they were on the sinking Titanic and accepting their grim fate.
- Gonna be a busy week at the escape rooms, weeeeee
- cannot believe my insomnia got cured and it's ruining my life, lol
