    Just figured out I had been drinking the caffeinated coffee pods. Now wonder I was feeling the weird feelings again. Back on decaf....

    (And please don't tell hubs he's getting decaf today)

    😂 This is something I would do

    He could tell it was decaf. He was like this doesn't taste right. 🤣

    What's a PIC....ooooh partner in crime?

    Correct. We used to fist bump and say PIC 4 life and hold 4 fingers and the make the L shape - can’t remember the last time we did that …. They all grow up guess - we say we’ll get it tatted when he old enough - so I got that - Eh guess I’m feeling older these days -

    Ngl, this kinda bums me out. I only have the one child. Is this what I have to look forward to? He definitely is my PiC right now, although he's really branching out. I haven't reached disgruntled teenager whom I enjoy embarrassing stage yet.

    Mine is 14 and has always been my buddy. He's a bit of a different kid so he hasn't become super angsty teen yet. Hopefully he stays my buddy although I'd like him having some more friends

    Hmm - stuffing maybe - cause can reheat in the oven - other than that I got nothing - I was planning on going to Cracker Barrel or some
    Other restaurant this year - but my bro invited me to his place so I’ll go there

    Lucky you to get an invite. Ice also volunteered to do thanksgiving Monday for a friend after the family thing which is a lunch. If you want Canadian Thanksgiving come on up!

    How much I love love love being alone. My boss is great. We collaborate well. He mostly leaves me alone to do my thing. But I am positively giddy that he will be out of the office most of the day and unless a consultant type guy comes in I have the building to myself. This has lifted my mood considerably

    I bought a bunch of tap lights that have a remote and you can change the colors and I bought a bunch of batteries for the tap lights and I put the tap lights in some plastic food containers and I’m going to use them to line the Halloween trail. And if I have any energy after I finish all of my after work chores I’m going to start putting them out tonight.

    I did look into doing a kind of geocache thing with placing prizes at certain coordinates but I don’t have good cell service on that part of my property and I’m afraid it wouldn’t work. Plus the kid I have taken into my confidence as a co-conspirator is a bit of a Luddite and thinks it would be more fun to just discover and let the trail unfold.

    That despite how long I've been drawing/painting/crafting, I still very much feel like an imposter. I just never feel "good enough" at anything, no matter what I do or say, especially compared to others who have been doing this a helluva lot less than I have.

    I know this is a pretty common thing for creative people to feel, but I was hoping by now that it would have lessened. But no, it still feels the same now as it did when I was 18. It sucks.

    At least I get enjoyment out of these things still. The day they cease being enjoyable is a bad day, for sure.

    this sounds awesome and is 100% contrast to my lack of effort this year

    I do OK on what I consider low pressure things. I completely lose the plot for Christmas because it’s just too much expectation
