2 Chicago Style Hot Dogs Eaten
1 Project in the Pipeline
I am trying to pry my brain away from this whole “homelessness is a reality and unhoused is not a nice word” piece I want to write. It’s not going well. I am absolutely hyper-fixated on it.

Dear, sweet, darling DW has opened a can of worms in my head to the point where I am considering writing a random thesis paper on homelessness in America. All his fault.

1 More Day to the End of the Week
We got boneless wings on special tonight! It was buy fifteen boneless or bone in wings, get fifteen for free if you ordered in the restaurant app. But they goofed hard. We ended up getting 30 of the flavor Lucian wanted, 15 each of the two flavors I wanted, and another 15 of the no sauced ones Brian wanted. It was great!

I freaked out a little this evening. Spock wouldn’t eat. He’s doing better now, but that was scary as hell. He eventually ate, it did take purritoing him with Brian’s help and giving him a pain pill.
Anyway, I am exhausted.
Take your meds, folks.
