*In My Best Carol Anne voice* I’m Baaaack!

I think it’s so cold out because hell has frozen over. That’s just a theory, but it feels right.

Oh hello, hi, it’s me! Your intrepid absent blogger crawling out from under my books to once again reclaim my corner of the internet (omg for realsies this time!) that is not owned by those loser-ass broligarchs taking over the world, app by app. (But I guess in some ways it is. Like does anyone have the deets on the WordPress CEO? How evil are they?)

Honestly, I think we really need to figure out a way to dose all the billionaire villains with ayahuasca until they realize they are not destined for shit, that we are all connected to the universe and they are destroying the planet. We don’t need to move to Mars if we just take care of the planet we are currently on, you stupid shits.

Free Luigi!

Ins and Outs for 2024, plus The Fucking Owned Books Challenge!

Happy New Fears Years, everybody!🎉

I hope ringing in 2024 was everything you wanted it to be. I’m not really into partying anymore in my old age. That was 20-something Krystin’s vibe. Mid-to-late-early-late 30’s Krystin has a stay-at-home with her dog and husband vibe.

We watched Die Hard 3 and 4, ate junk food, smoked weed and played Scrabble (I won, and it’s important to me that you know that.) My husband was asleep by 12:05AM, while I was up well passed 5AM dealing with my diarrhea-stricken doggo.

That is the circle of life, friends! One day you’re a youth drinking and partying for New Year’s, and the next you’re spending it at home with a heating pad on your back because that morning you only wanted to make one trip up the stairs with the laundry, and now every time you get up to let the dog out you make noises.

And honestly, I’m fine with that.

With that said, we made it to 2024! Can you even believe? I have my fingers crossed for a better year. 2023 really took it out of me, but I’m staying optimistic for this new year… while also remaining vigilant as to not be caught off guard. Do I want my last remaining grandparent to die? Of course not! Will I be surprised if that’s what 2024 hands my family? Can’t say I will be. My therapist should have a good time with this new coping mechanism. See you next week, Christine!
