#blaaaaargh

started getting sick literally on the airplane home this is taking post-semester crash syndrome to new levels of Bad Timing

spent entire first day back making approximately 400? cookies and cleaning the entire apartment oh god you do not want to hear about the state of the bathroom

day-long trip to Philly which was lovely but also cold and allergy-inducing and I miss my cat whom we took to stay there

nine-hour drive up to Maine

heard anything about that cold snap? fuck me it was cold

my laptop died and had to be wiped and still hasn’t resynced everything in my overstuffed Dropbox

our car died and had to be jumped because Cold

the furnace died (!!!) because it had run out of propane so we all huddled under quilts in our winter coats for about six hours before it got fixed

we visited a wedding baker and it was delicious AND THEN our car died again in her driveway and she had to give us a jump to get us going again and I wanted to die of the sheer embarrassment

eight-hour drive back to NJ

I am now on my second iteration of a Horrendous Headcold in as many weeks and not to be gross but it’s 4:30am and I’m awake blowing gallons of crap out of my head and I hate it I hate it I hate it and it hurts

we are hosting 4 of The Boy’s friends for dinner and an overnight stay for NYE and it’s going to be fun but I am also really not in the mood to play mommy to a bunch of dudes for two days (I actively despise one of them but for non-crucial reasons and I have to be a good gf and support His Indoors’ choices and friendships obvs, pray for me fam)

sidenote: Christmas was awesome. I baked a lot.

it is now almost 5am and I am sitting here in a drug-induced haze just thinking furiously about how much The Boy and I are obsessed with the track ‘The Spark’ from TLJ’s soundtrack because NOT ONLY does it finally reprise the ‘Luke and Leia’ theme for the first time in 40 years (The Boy nearly started crying in the theater) but then the bit that goes so hard afterwards when Luke Does That Thing is An oStInATO vaRiATion OF THE ANAKIN/VADER THEME AND JOHN WILLIAMS IS THE GREATEST GENIUS THANK YOU GOODBYE
