Oct. 17th, 2025 04:28 pm1. What are you especially geeky about? Glaciers/earth science
2. What are you ambivalent about? Cauliflower
3. What are you unreasonably, vehemently opposed to? Peanut butter..literally EVERYTHING about it is disgusting to me haha
4. What do you pretend to understand when other people talk about it? Books I haven't read yet, but still know a little about..sometimes I'm embarrassed to say I haven't read a certain book yet lol
5. What’s something you’ve wanted for years to know more about, but you’re intimidated or paralyzed by the subject? Icelandic..it looks insanely hard to learn!
Jackie, my coworker of almost 15 years, is resigning at the end of the month. :( She was on the Biz Bee team with me when we won first place, and we've just had fun conversations over the years. Like Vicky, one reason she's leaving is because how Lucie and Shelby have treated her..maybe one day they'll get the hint about how unhappy everyone is?? At least the bookstore was busier than it has been today. I'll miss seeing Jackie though, I hope she comes to visit sometimes!
As of tomorrow, it'll be a year since grandma died..wow, that time went by fast. I miss the birthday cards she'd send (she made them herself!), her nice smile..I hope you're having fun in heaven, grandma, I miss you!
Definitely Abby..I didn't cry when grandma died, but I cried SO hard when the vet was putting Abby to sleep (and I'd burst into tears coming home to an empty apartment). She was an extraordinary cat, basically my soulmate, and I'll cherish my memories of her forever <3
