Ugh so I roasted a chicken last night and put the bones in the crock pot along with various other things to make broth overnight. Just took it out, and I legit almost threw up because of the smell. It was super unpleasant straining the broth and bagging the carcass. I can't get the smell out of my nose. Just lit a vanilla candle and am working next to it.
I have my flu jab in 40mins. My work is so good. They organise it so I just have to walk down one flight of stairs and get paid for getting my jab. Almost as good as getting paid to poop.
Ugh I've hit another bump in the road of marriage. We have a slice in a half left of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake. I wanted the entire thing for myself. But now H is home and I have to share so I don't even get a full piece. I need a gofundme.
@carries2018 Ouch, that's crappy. We have half a carrot cake left over from Sunday, come over and you can have as big of a slice as you want.
I'm full of randoms right now. I have to write 30 (!!!) pages of my "novel" for fiction writing (getting my masters in writing) and its. so. hard. The class is specifically on historical fiction, so we had to choose time periods from the past. I chose a really heavy one, which I'm sort of regretting, as there's a TON of research involved. I grew up 45 minutes from Detroit, and the city's history and current state have a huge impact on the surrounding areas. So I decided 1940's Detroit would be a really interesting time period, specifically dealing with race relations and riots and post-war issues. I'm super struggling with getting an interesting and easy to follow plot down. Add to that the fact that creative writing is messy and doesn't conform to outlines and just morphs itself into crazy things, and I want to throw my laptop across the room.
@bluejeanbabi05 I feel ya. I finished the first draft of a fantasy novel in November and trying to edit that thing now is not going well.

@bluejeanbabi05 Lol. Nope. Just a hobby writer. I have plans to make this into a trilogy actually.

@jessafishy I am super impressed that you actually finished a complete draft. That ish is hard. I love fantasy books. If you ever need a test reader, let me know
@jessafishy also, when you finish editing it, even if you don't want to go to agent or publisher route you should totally self-publish an ebook. I think it's pretty inexpensive, and you can join Kindle Unlimited and who knows! I read a ton of self-published authors from KU. Some of them have huge followings and put out long series.
@bluejeanbabi05 I have actually looked into self publishing a bit! And thanks, I'll definitely let you know if I need some test readers. You can red flag all of my Oxford commas.

@carries2018 same. I brought up some of y'all in casual conversation today and said "oh one of my friends did this.." and chuckled to myself aftewards.
I had a horrible head cold the past four days or so (finally getting better, yay!) and I can't believe I can't control my own bladder any more. I pee a tiny bit with every sneeze. Whyyyyyyy?
Can we just say bladder control period! I had to pee the other day and held it just a little to long. I peed on myself trying to get to the bathroom. It brought terrible flash backs of zero bladder control while in the hospital and DH having to help me clean up.
@carries2018 good for you for having self control! I guarantee I would have checked the results right away, and then lied to DH and pretended that I waited for him. I'm a horrible wife.

I'm traveling for work next M-W which is probably when they'll call with my Harmony results, so I'm definitely going to know before DH cause no way am I waiting to be together. Depending on when I get ahold of him, you gals might even know before he does.
May I just say : even though i would ve secretly enjoyed the drama i was expecting out of this thread, I AM LOVING todays GTKY. Its so interesting to read about everyone's beliefs!
Also, we're going to make other BMBs jealous if we manage to keep it THIS civilized all along ❤️
