REAGAN: separately.

REAGAN: want to move in with me? figured it'll make the baby stuff easier if we live together officially.

RYAN: yes, 100% yes, are you kidding?

Dear Melody and Morgan,

I’m gonna be honest and say that learning I was having you was probably the best day of my life. Your mother and I went through our hardships, of course, but I know that we would do it all over again for you two.

To Melody, I am so proud of you. You were an angel of a child and even more of an angel now. Your dancing and drums is so infectious. We have never felt more grateful that we had such an amazing kid that we never really had to worry about. Having a guy that treats you well and makes you happy is all I’ve wanted for you, and it’s what you deserve and more. I can’t wait for the years to come.

To Morgan, I know times are hard. You’ve pushed through and persevered, no matter how you managed to do it. I’ve always thought you had your mother’s determination in that way, something I always admired in her and something I have always admired in you. You’re funny, talented and smart, even if you won’t admit it, that’s okay. Reagan, your sister, and I know.

You are the best kids that parents could ask for. Thank you for making me and your mother’s lives so full of joy, love, and purpose. We love you to death. Keep growing and thriving.

RYAN: save meeeee

Mercy: Okay first of all I need you to breathe...

Mercy: Second. I do not. Just come over here and I will help you make whatever you were trying to make and have someone help your...situation

RYAN: okay. breathing.

RYAN: i'm never cooking again

RYAN: it's fine, everything is fine

Mercy: You couldn't have broken everything...did you?

Mercy: Tell me what you need.

RYAN: no i think i did

RYAN: everything is all over the floor aaahhhHH

RYAN: bruh

RYAN: i haven't had a good basketball game in a while

RYAN: i think i've broken everything in my kitchen trying to make an apple pie

RYAN: is an oven supposed to like

Carrying around all the guilt about being associated with my family, my parents specifically. I hated my last name for so long. I can finally put all that behind me.

Anyone else still buzzing from Halloween sugar highs?! I most definitely am! I must have had at least one sweet in between each of my appointments today… which adds up enough so I’m not questioning where all of this energy I have came from. I feel like I could clean my whole apartment or something else productive, but instead I’m probably just going to redecorate my island on Animal Crossing. Priorities of a responsible adult, y’know? I’m sure I’ll crash at some point but I hope everyone had a super fun time yesterday! Anyone have any good stories from yesterday? 

Oh, I had an amazing haul of candy yesterday. The day after sales are amazing, truly one of the best parts about Halloween. Adult responsibilities? Tch, what are those? I work during the evening, so that’s more than enough of an excuse to do absolutely nothing during the day. I swear I gotta get to my island, I haven’t played the game in months. My poor villagers probably think I’m dead.

Alright fam and friends, since The Eternals is coming out this Friday, well technically Thursday night. Anyway, I’m having a little costume contest on Saturday to whoever wears the most accurate costumes, and the winner will be getting some gift cards to the local movie theater, an amazing gift basket that’s filled with funko pops, and ten comic books. If you feel like you’re up for the challenge, come on by the comic book store.

If that’s not your thing, we have new funko pops, mangas, board games, the works that just came in this past weekend.

Say no more, you had me at costume contest. I am totally getting those funko pops. Gotta start my collection somewhere, right?

I’m convinced it’s all those cleanses they do. They have no time to eat anything, so they take all the anger out on the innocent civilians around them. It’s good to hear you’re making it through the Karens. They can be a draining bunch.

You know what, that makes perfect sense. I mean, it’s just an honest day’s work, is all. It’s hard out there being one of two people who work in this place. I’d give Leila more credit, though. She handles them way better than I do. I kinda just stand there awkwardly until she steps in.

.

Because Karens are never happy unless someone who is not being paid enough is crying and they’ve been given something for free, and even then, they are likely not satisfied.

Like ma’am, this is a mall. I am a minimum wage worker making barely enough for rent. Please, have some mercy.
