Bad Juju

I very much hate this time of year. I think being trapped inside makes me ruminate on all the bad things that have happened to me in the past. Which seem to mostly have happened during the cold months of the year.

Locals

Hey locals? Rising crust digiorno pizzas are on sale at BigM for $3.99. Wow! I was tempted to clear them out. I know it’s garbage food, but it’s like three meals for me. And they’re usually more than twice that. Health kick!

Oompa

We’ve reached that fun time of year where my heat is on full blast but cannot keep up with the cold temps. Cut to me walking around my house like an Oompa Loompa in six layers of sweats, wool socks, and a cap. Say goodbye to my bank account.

Deuga

I tried to watch a movie but am too hopped up on drugs to pay that much attention. I’ve been napping or fiddling with my computer all day. I did shower but put my pajamas back on. I’m moving very slow and think I’ll need to call out sick again tomorrow.

Four

I literally have four comforters on my bed and just took enough dope to knock out an elephant. Bye!

Louse

I was watching a clip about how the history of human clothing is tied to the evolution of body lice. And now I’m fascinated but feel icky.

Head Like a Hole

A head cold has hit me like a ton of bricks today. It started as a tickle in my throat this morning and by 4 o’clock, I was a mess. I think I’m gonna have to call out sick for the first time in like a decade. It’s that bad.

Decline

Whoah! I switched all my retirement contributions from pre-tax to Roth (post-tax) and my take-home pay declined by what will be a projected $8,318 per year due to increased tax withholding. What in the fresh hell!? Part of me is tempted to switch it back. The other part of me says eat the taxes now. I’ll continue to monitor the situation.

Tinker

I’m rethinking how I approach my YouTube channel experiment. It’s an experiment. As I learn new things, I’ll tweak the sauce. Making frequent one minutes shorts / reels is time consuming. The views surge quickly to 1,000-2,000 then drop off to nothing. Id rather make less frequent, evergreen, long form content that is searchable and informative. I’m going to focus on that for a bit and see how the algos like it.

Tabula

I noticed at the Texas Roadhouse that they have a sign that says they must ID anyone born after 1/19/2005. And flipped a table.

Smart

Like it’s 2005, I bought my first ever smart plug! Because I’m energetic and young, I want to be able to turn on my coffee machine from bed.

Low

I’m not expending much mental energy on the Local Bakery situation. Given past experience, odds are high it’ll be a big nothing burger.
