Woke up, about a quarter to 10. Had a slight hangover from last night. Went to dinner last night with a friend and had some cocktails before we watched the latest two episodes of Pose.
Pose, if you aren’t familiar, is a series up on FX. Good ole Ryan Murphy is definitely not disappointing with this series centered around the legendary gay/hiv/aids/ballroom/paris is burning/gender bending/80s and 90s sandalous happenings.
Watch it. I don’t care if you care or not, you need to know the history. The fight. But, I digress.
The Cinnamon Toast Crunch breakfast enabled me to get up and get some yard work completed, to help sweat out the alcohol.
After a good shower and quick change, I met up with my good judy for lunch at our favorite happening spot, Panera. Sometimes surprises happen, and they must have known I was hangry, because I got not just one, but two chicken salad croissants for the price of one. That’s a win in my book.
After some window shopping, spending nary a dime, I headed home to organize and clean my room. As an adult, I figured I’d magically keep my room clean, but I still “leave shit dragging.” I’m a pretty intense multitasker, so I was working laundry, managing an Enron style burn pile, while still organizing the room madness. I was balancing everything so well, when low and behold, disaster struck.
A paper towel was left in the laundry that went into the washer. Shreds of paper were from washer to dryer and everywhere in betwixt. Even that can’t breakuh my stride these days, though.
The fire. Check my Instagram @tylertheriot to see the video of the fire. My awesome sister gave me these burn packets as a Christmas gift. You throw this packet of powder into the fire and it creates a teal hue to the flames. It’s quite extraordinary, even if it is a cheap parlor trick.
To end the day, I’m laying in a spectacularly hot bath with a bowl of fancy ramen. You see, I always keep frozen mixed veggies on hand for creating fancy ramen. It helps me to believe that the ramen isn’t quite so unhealthy if I see vegetables floating around in the bowl. 😎
Small life situation that doesn’t get brought up enough: before I turned on the spicket for the bathtub, I gave it a good cleaning. Why is it that virtually 9 times out of 10, I have the entire tub spotless, completely rinsed and ready for use, and a single hair appears out of nowhere?! I literally had just rinsed that entire area, and this strand shows up late for the party. I don’t get it. Do others experience this? My OCD cleaning habits make this an incredibly annoying experience. 😂
(I watched Seinfeld growing up, so everything is a story.)
Just some life.
