I plan on staying inside and being comfortable all day.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

I lost this shirt for like a year but found it today. It was in the pile of unmatched socks.

It's a men's large and is basically a dress on me but I have midcentruy design autism.

I made a 3-hour jam game with hand-drawn aesthetics called kiwi up!

The main character is this little (about 1.5 cm x 1.25 cm on paper) guy.

small and simple drawing of a kiwi bird

Please take care for him while I sleep.

Busy day for me. Weekends tend to be.

Sunday is...not exactly meal prep day, because that implies that I'm making whole meals. But I do have vegetables to pickle and some leftover cheese to turn into a sauce that'll freeze well. I plan to have mac and cheese, slaw, and airfryer "barbecued" chicken later this week or next week.

I also have errands, and I'm meeting up with some coworkers to discuss ongoing unionizing efforts.

It's been a rough weekend. So I'm just going to sleep and do whatever chores I can do while trying to get rest.

The kitten is sad because the bedroom is closed. Husband got me flowers to try and help with the roughness but the kitten can't be near them so we're protecting her. But it does mean no cuddles.
