also i’m supposed to be at human resources at 8:30 which is fine but i don’t know where it is other than in the civic center? so i tried to google it so i could get a room number or something so i have a little more direction (i’ve been into the civic center exactly twice: once to see a play when i was about 5 and once to pay a parking ticket when i was 16) but google is like “oh you need the hr department? well it’s in the civic center you silly goose!” and it’s not helpful so i’m trying to figure out how early i wanna get there to find where i’m supposed to be

tomorrow i start my fancy new professional grown up job with the city and i picked out what to wear and i’m very excited but my mom keeps giving me larger and larger purses and tote bags because she thinks i should bring a snack since i don’t know my schedule (”look this one will fit your purse and your water bottle and your notebook and a snack! plus your sweater if you take it off!”) but first of all my purse only looks small and is actually enormous because at the renaissance festival i carried around all my purse things and my liter water bottle and two apple sauces and a bag of goldfish. it killed my shoulder but it worked. anyway i can’t figure out what bag to bring and what kind of snack i should jam into it along with my water bottle and notebook

i bought chocolate chips to use for a glaze for my cake because we never have chocolate chips in the house because these jackals eat them as a snack so i bought some and put them in the cupboard with all the baking supplies because surely if you find something in the cupboard that you didn’t purchase you would ask if it was there with a specific purpose or whether it was up for grabs, right? turns out the answer’s no i have to go to the store because these animals ate all my chocolate chips

i had plans this weekend to bake myself a congratulations cake for my new job and got all the ingredients when i was running errands but then yesterday my mom brought home ice cream and was like “here’s the pumpkin bread recipe i kept telling you i’d find for you” so now i’ve made a bunch of pumpkin bread and we have ice cream and my sister brought home some pastries and thanksgiving is on thursday so we’re pretty set on desserts and future desserts but i really wanted to make this cake

good mom comments right there

it was especially nice because i was second guessing myself a lot like “well every time i bring up being annoyed with how he does stuff he gets defensive and doesn’t make any changes, and he’s apparently never listened when i explain it from my side and he completely ignored me for over a month for no reason but am i being too harsh? is this unnecessarily mean??” so it was nice to have the confirmation from someone else

yesterday my mom was like “hey it’s been a long time since we heard from our boy!” and i said “yeah and we’re probably not going to” and explained the whole big thing that i’ve been complaining about on here for a couple months about the friend who was not listening to me and ignoring me and how i told them they were being a dick and i wasn’t having it and her two comments were “man, boys suck, huh?” and “good for you though honey” so that’s always nice
