Happy rainy and dreary Friday from the flooded and wind damaged Midwest! Luckily my home is fine, but we have had a lot of big ass trees toppling down all over the state and a huge portion is still without power.  I am already disgusted by the insurance companies that are going to get away with saying homes that have been destroyed were not covered because they did not have flood insurance.  This country and it’s capitalism is so disgusting and I am so exhausted by it.  And remember what we do when we are in the late stages of our country’s downfall?  That’s right, we try really hard to find some gratitude, so we don’t lose all sense of wellbeing and quit.  Let’s get to Faceless Friday and see what has rocked my face off this week. 

Back to school, naps and a clean house.  It’s giving routine but without making me feel like I need to set something on fire.  It is also really fucking quiet so that has been a mind fuck.  I think it takes me a good two weeks to sit in silence and nap while the kiddo is at school for me to be regulated enough to start my school projects, or to pick up on old projects.  The house is still clean, laundry is mostly done (the kid’s anyway, I’m still in my mumu) and well…. time keeps ticking.  I am grateful for these moments and even more grateful for when the house is loud and the kid is climbing all over me like a wombat.  It all rocks my face off. 

New Haircut! In true Queenager form I chopped my hair and started wearing eyeliner again. Feeling more myself and less like giving a fuck what other people thing truly rocks my face off.   

Dots Pretzels.  Yes, I am giving them their own little entry, it’s that big of a deal.  I feel like a fucking addict.  I go through food phases like any good tism girl and fixate on a food until I am completely disgusted by it. That food has been Dot’s pretzels for MONTHS now.  I lay in bed thinking about them.  I’m thinking if I confess this maybe my brain will be all “nah, we’re over it” because that’s how my brain works.  OOOOHHHH my other obsession is homemade cold brew coffee with heavy whipping cream and hazelnut creamer. OMFG it is so good and I have actually been skipping the hot coffee in the morning to slam the fatty cold deliciousness that is the cold brew.  Between a pound of pretzels and four of these coffees a day I may just turn into a blobfish. 

And that is the highlights lately.  Here are a few other things that rock my face off in a short list: 

Music, air conditioning, internet, blooming flowers, cool nail polish, good mascara, allergy meds that actually work, not having to mow this week cause of rain, my art space being clean and ready for me, good blankets, gentle feedback, and YOU dear reader. Thank you for joining me.
