Rainy day diarypost (boring, weirdly positive, not even any hot takes)

I'm sitting in bed wearing my dudes work hoodie with his carpentry union logo on it and his last name embroidered on the chest (cheesy, sue me) with leopard print fleece pj pants that I got for Xmas 2009 and somehow still own. My dog and my cat are snuggled up next to me and the rain on my windows sounds so peaceful and perfect.

Im still waiting for my new job to start this coming Monday so despite being pretty broke rn, I think im gonna go to the discount supermarket up the block and get myself some stuff to make breakfast and something I can make in the crock pot for later. V open to hot broke girl recipe suggestions, I got a pretty good repertoire of em already but love to see what the fellow ladies (and gentlemen) are cooking.

My homegirl and I had planned to go sledding at the graveyard (we are both in our 30s but sledmaxxing as an adult is where its at) but since there's no snow and I've spent the past month or two being hypersocial and partying to a fairly problematic extent, I'm thinking of just staying in today, listening to my audiobook (A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, highly recommend), cooking and maybe forcing my brain into doing a little tidying and cleaning too.

If I finish that early enough I'll probably be a little social and go over to my best guy friends house as he's been having a bit of a crisis lately and as his non blood sister I will brave the stupid rain and make the 15min drive to his, so that i can snuggle w his adorable husky and we can pace around his house drinking vodka and listening to records and bitching about life.

Funny side anecdote- my dude, K, has a best female friend of 15+ years, R, who he thinks of as his sister. They're both around a decade older than us. Her and I are also close friends and my best guy friend is pretty close with her too (him and my dude are also pretty good friends). The other day the 3 of us were hanging out and she goes "damn, you guys truly are the younger version of me and K" so now homeboy and I sometimes tell each other "you're the K/R to my R/K" hahaha. I really do feel bad for people who believe its off limits to be friends, let alone best friends, with a member of the opposite sex - truly unhinged and jealousy informed behavior which can cause you to miss out on some great and fulfilling potential friendships.

Anyways, what are you beautiful chicas (and chicos) up to today? How's the weather where you're at and how is it impacting your mood? For whatever reason, i didn't wake up today with the feeling of impending doom I've been experiencing most mornings for the past few months so I'm very grateful for that. Gay and cliche but since it truly does boost dopamine even for a cynical bitch like me, what dumb lil things are u guys grateful for today?
