How do other people live? I wonder how they keep it up

I think the official tally for local snow was 7ish inches. Combined with the ice layer that hit first, I worked from home for three days. Hooooo buddy I hate it. Hilarious that I love the snowed in trope, because MY DUDES. NO. I got out tonight to pick up pizza, and it looks like weekly errands will be doable tomorrow. But, I'm also, maybe, getting sick! I've got a really sore throat. 

The kids are marathoning Canadian kidshow Dino Dana, starring Michela Luci (she also voices True & the Rainbow Kingdom, and a voice from Go Dog Go - y'all we watch a lot of tv) and the house is full of roaring and squacking. It is cute. The show is also cute. The sisters call one another Seester. Is this a Canadian thing? Anyway, we're learning a lot about dinosaurs. 

Goal progress of note:
- Fic 2 is in this round of seasonsofdrabbles, hopefully going live this weekend. If you don't already know what I wrote and want to figure it out, I'll write you a prize. 
- New meal of bell pepper quesadillas with mango salsa was an unexpected JAM. I kind of love all the different kinds of crema and sauces these meal kits have me do. This one was hot sauce/sour cream and so simple but I would never ever on my own. 
- Mitski's new release Laurel Hell was my first full album listen of the year. The singles gave a pretty good preview, and FWIW I think they are the best tracks. Bright Eyes is apparently re-releasing new versions of a bunch of old releases, including Fevers and Mirrors. Phoebe Bridgers is on a lot of the tracks, including "Halaigh...", which was released as a flashback-inducing single. The whole album is like... senior year of high school for me, so revisiting it now is going to be... something. 
- No full seasons to report yet, but tonight we started Archive 81 (digitization as a plotpoint! Decently spoopy!) and Murderville (so stupid... soooo stupid, but fun)

I'm watching Archive 81 too, though it'll probably be on hold now until after the Olympics. I listened to the podcast 100 years ago but remember very little. I adore Mamoudou Athie, though; I'm basically watching it for him.

I'm thinking of trying a meal kit situation now, going into year 3 with a clear understanding that I resent the fact that I have to eat & I need some assistance.

We've liked just about everything from Every Plate. Hello Fresh is also pretty good, but Green Chef is overpriced and kind of a mixed bag.

My husband and his sister call each other brother and sister, and I can't tell if they're doing it to fuck with me or not because it drives me up the wall. I'm all, "Will you please stop role playing the beginning of an Amish porno?" LOL

My sister calls me Seester, which is why I found it so startling. I know in Orphan Black they use "sestra" but this was the only other time I'd ever encountered Seester.

hey, I love some dudeslash AND YET. It's almost like tropes and other story elements can't be translated 1:1 to reality. :D

I hope you're not actually getting sick and the sore throat passes quickly.

You know, this very obvious notion has LITERALLY NEVER OCCURRED to me. How does one like something that one does not like? Oh dear. My poor brain.
