I guess I understand my mother a little better now, seeing as I more or less was pushed out of my own kitchen. I’ve got the Big Green Egg, and my sister pretty much told me, “we have everything covered in the kitchen”. So, the new girl needed a car because right now she has this boat - 87 Caprice she picked up for $200 - and it’s a pile of shit which needs to be scrapped, and I managed to pick up three cars in pretty decent shape which had been sitting in a warehouse since 2004 for less than $1,000 earlier this week… a 99 Mustang GT which has had a lot of work done to it, a 93 Explorer 4 door, and a 2001 Focus hatchback. The Focus only has about 12,000 miles on it, so it would be perfect for her. So I’ve been working on that, mostly just cleaning the interior up, and I’ve ordered new belts, filters, fluids, and a battery from Napa. Once we can get some temporary tags for it, I’ll use my AAA membership to have it towed to Costco so she can get tires, and she should be able to drive it after that.
The Explorer, I’ve already got a buyer for. The Mustang, I don’t know. It’s pretty nice… racing seats, a purple metal flake paint job. I half jokingly said maybe I should LS swap it in the TikTok I posted about it, and the responses were practically begging for me to do it. The ‘car girl’ TikToks are quite popular, so I’m sure videos of that project would go over well.
I’ve got helpers today, too. One of our tow ops who transferred from another ACG auto club and who came here for the lower cost of living but who has no family here and the woman who was hired on as the small engine specialist at my regular job are here, because they had nowhere to go for Thanksgiving, and we make more than enough food. So we’re all throwing in on this car. On Thanksgiving. I fucking love this. My mother doesn’t get it.

I was expecting a good main song release and I just didn't hear it as well. I do love her songs from her past though. Maybe it's one of those things where you expect it to top the other albums and over time it wears on you? Lol I'm now playing her 'When we were young' song because of your post lolllll. She has a stunning voice regardless :P.
This is totally random, but I really want a Christmas snow globe. Not your average snow globe, but one where you plug it in the wall and the snow goes 24/7 without having to shake it as well as it lights up. Is there such a thing? I'm such a weirdo hahaha. I've been looking online for my weird purchase LOLL.
Quick update: I just found one and bought it lol!! So cute!! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HTVMJSD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

This was how I felt when Justin Timberlake came out with his 'Man of the Woods' album. I was like meh. I didn't even go to the concert that time. The best song on there, imo, is "Living off the Land."
His 'The 20/20 Experience' album, on the other hand...MASTERPIECE!

I felt the same way that this album won't have any hit songs. At least nothing impressed me yet. No "someone like you", no "Hello".
Adele is one of the best female musicians in our time, her songs have very catchy melodies, her voice is great, and the lyrics told so many relatable stories. Some people with music background claimed that her singing in the new album is way better than her other albums. That might be the case. I am sure her new album is personal for her. But she's a pop singer, her album needs a hit song. Especially, the expectation of it is high.
On a completely unrelated subject, I watched "No time to die" yesterday. James Bond died at the end. It felt kind of odd to me. James Bond movies are stories of 007. Somehow Daniel Craig turned James Bond movies into Daniel Craig's movies for the ones that he's in them. You won't understand any of them if you don't watch them in order. Now 007 is dead. Kind of like they killed Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow. Why a reboot is always better than a continuation in Hollywood? Am I crazy with all this mumbling?

We got a rider authorization for my father and so he rode with me in the tow truck today. He had a good time, especially in the 16 ton wrecker, plus he got to be there when I had to tow a ~35 ft. motor home. My mother really isn’t with it… I don’t think she’s ready to let go of this idea of me being the housewife I was molded to be, though there are at least some facets of my life she seems to approve of.

Getting my covid booster shot tomorrow. Can't believe it's been exactly six months since my vaccination!
Update, i was sick the day afterwards (Pfizer booster), but not as sick as i was after the second shot six months ago. Can't believe it's already been six months.
I will get as many shots as they tell me to get, i do not care. I don't want to get covid, and i don't want to have to worry about getting sick.
I'm selfishly hoping that this new variant pops off so that my company continues to postpone return to office. That's awful, i know.

The second one really didn’t affect me at all. The first one, I had a mild headache which remained constant… I was working with cutting torches, impact tools, and other loud things and that didn’t intensify the headache at all. After I got some sleep, it was gone. Second one, I began feeling the onset of the second headache, but it went away pretty quickly. I get my booster in the middle of December.

I just peed while staring at my neighbor through the window taking photos of his Christmas decorations. I should've waved. Hi beech lol.
Also my Christmas snow globe has arrived today and looks exactly like the one in this video. I dunno why this is the 2nd person who has referred to it as a great addition in your kids room. I wanted this as an adult bahaha. https://youtu.be/yh6qLJwT3pw?t=174. I kinda stared at my faux Christmas tree in the garage, walked out, and shut the garage door LOL. Too much effort. I have an Xmas wreath up, my glowing snowman, Christmas hand towels, and my snow globe. That's about it. LOL.

I just got my booster today. My second shot I was sick for about 12 hours, this time maybe 3 hours. I'm happy to get a shot if it means I don't get covid. Honestly I love wearing masks too because of the privacy.

I hope you feel better! I got a bit of chills and ache on my arm where I got the shot but nothing major.
I'm due for my booster but I'm scared. Not of the vaccine but needle, lol! I need just need to stop thinking about it and go for it.
I don't wear mask now because I hate ruined my makeup, lol!

Damn I am hating my day job so much in Nov.
If anyone will actually make a decision and buy something ..... that would be a dream. :/
I'm cringing so hard at the $300 I've spent in marketing this month. I will just price drop in 1-2 days if needed . I can not be in the negative with the business this month. I honestly wish I would have just done a holiday or winter job of some sort. Maybe there is still time.
On a couple people instead of asking for $1,000-$1500 up front ( a retainer typical in my industry ) I told them they could do a payment plan of just $250 a month. Ha. I figured anything would help if it could get something done ! It all adds up even if I have to wait a little for it.

Found out one of my aunts has stage 3 cancer.
It's fucking wild, because they randomly found a tiny spot on her lung a few weeks ago when doing a heart scan. If they hadn't been looking at other things, they never would have caught it at all. It was so small, and she hadn't had any symptoms (even in her other bloodwork and tests), that they were confident they could just remove it and be done. She went in the Monday before Thanksgiving to get a 1/4 of her lung removed. Doctor said they got it all, everything looked good, and she was probably done - wouldn't need chemo, radiation, or anything.
2 days later, the pathology report comes back, and suddenly it turns out that it did spread to her lymph nodes and it's stage 3. Like, what the fuck? How do you go from no symptoms whatsoever, nothing showing up on tests, to suddenly having stage 3 in your lymph nodes?
Shit like this terrifies me. Who knows when they would have caught it if they hadn't been looking at other health problems? She and my uncle JUST got to the stage in life where they're retired, living near their kid and grandkids, and JUST bought a boat and a vacation house. To work your ass off all your life, finally get to that point, and then get hit with fucking cancer...

Yeah, scanning proactively for many types of cancers is really controversial, because they could notice and treat a tumor that isn't even growing , they could notice and treat a tumor that saves someone's life, or they could notice and treat a tumor where the treatment itself either kills the patient or dramatically reduces quality of life. And it's hard to know which category each patient falls into.
I honestly live with the assumption that my body is constantly developing and eradicating cancerous cells. I try to ensure my lifestyle is primed to kill off these cancerous cells, reduce systemic inflammation, keep cortisol low, etc.
I'm really sorry to hear about your aunt. :(

You could say you have sold clothes on Poshmark or ebay. Men don't keep track of your clothes LOL. Plus men don't know prices of items and you could say you bought from TJMAXX or Ross and possibly blame it on Black Friday sales lol.

Cancer is horrific like that. My uncle didn't really get any warning signs other than tiredness, which he chalked up to work.

I've even known therapists who will 'fire' their patients for not doing the work / being engaged in the process, so you wouldn't be out of line if you referred your lazy clients to someone else. That sounds like a huge energy drain that could legit burn you out, unless you can find a way to make peace with it! Definitely do what's best for yourself. ♡
