Instead of saying I’m burned out, I’ll just say I’m crispy. This week: picking up groceries in the rain with one functional windshield wiper and zero functional executive skills.

I told Alisha May 26 was my birthday this year. She texted “ointment?” instead. The cat ate the butter. I hid inside the house before I left to get groceries because Janice was mowing with intent. There’s a child coming. That’s all I have.

Alisha went next door for what was supposed to be an easy stay. It wasn’t. Two days in and she’s itchy, Urgent Care’s googling her rash like it’s a Reddit thread, and somehow Janice’s fence gets involved. Meanwhile, I’m losing sleep, watching Homestead Rescue against my will, and battling an emotionally manipulative cat. Did I miss her? Oh yes. Did I admit that out loud? You’re damn right I did.

Welcome to the rashy, fence-fixing, plant-poisoned saga of separation, mild codependency, and the slow realization that she might be the only person I’m okay doing life with.

I mowed the lawn, and my body responded like I’d fought a bear. Turns out it wasn’t heat or laziness — it was POTS. Also, I found out I’m basically Gumby with anxiety.

A brief encounter with public life and the kind of toxic energy that makes you reconsider leaving the house.

Apollo stalks me even more now, birds are horny, Alisha's leaving, and I’m confronting a chair. Also I have to make espresso now, apparently.

We were guests at a famous person's house. And by famous person I mean the matriarch of the neighborhood. That's right, folks, we've finally made it.

Also, it was my first social event on the books for this year. So of course I had to do an episode about it.

We’re not the outcome of exposure. We’re the outcome of watching you lie and deciding not to join in.
