Hey, Giggler!
This week, I’m popping into your inbox for a quick check-in, and then I have to get right back to my crazy life. Can’t wait to tell you all about our toilet fiasco and the rest of it all, LOL!
In the meantime, something ridiculous happened the other day. I share a car with my fiance, and he uses it daily to drive around town for his work. Meanwhile, I work from home and can walk to the most essential spots for running errands. If I need to use the car, I can usually give my man a heads up, and we schedule our car swapping ahead of time.
Also, our apartment is fantastic but has little storage space. This is why we rented a small unit at a storage facility. Now, we drive over there whenever we need to get the less essential things that don’t fit in our apartment. Any trips to storage require planning ahead since they involve the car.
Well, the other day was one of those every-second-to-the-minute-is-scheduled days, and I had a one-hour window to use the car. On this particular day, I was determined to get all our Halloween decorations taken down and brought to storage. This meant I’d have a whole hour to drive to storage, grab our empty decoration Tupperware bins, drive home, fill the containers with our decor, drive back to storage to return them, and then do all the other errands I still needed to do. (I considered bringing all the decorations in the car with me and putting them in their boxes at the storage facility to eliminate a car ride, but that was after I was already returning to the apartment with all the empty bins. 🙃)
This year, we bought more decorations, which meant they might not all fit in the storage boxes we already had, which meant I might need to add a trip to Target to get more Tupperware storage boxes. Essentially, I had to move fast. I darted around the apartment like I’d just chugged fifteen energy drinks and somehow packed all our decorations into the boxes we had. I dropped them off at storage, grabbed some much-needed toiletries on the way home, and returned with just enough time to switch into my workout clothes for boxing class. I even had an extra minute to go to the bathroom! Woot Woot!
I was lacing up my shoes and feeling quite pleased with myself when I looked up and saw THIS MONSTROSITY STARING DOWN AT ME:
LMAO How did I miss that?! It was probably laughing its a** off as it watched me race around like a chicken with its head cut off. I had a good laugh about it all the way to boxing class. Ha!
In other news, check out the best drawings I’ve ever made. Like, EVER!
That’s it for now!
Have you also been crazy busy? I’d love to hear from you in the comments (or reply to this e-mail)!
Until next time,
Alexa (AKA The Giggler)
PAID SUBSCRIBER P.S. I keep writing these newsletters at the last minute and not leaving myself enough time to record the audio to go with them! I guess I will continue to record audio for newsletters when I have the time and forget the rest. If you’re a paid subscriber simply for the audio and don’t wanna continue your paid subscription, I totally get it. But if you’re a paid subscriber who could care less about the audio and simply wish to support me monetarily, thank you! It’s all good either way, friend!
Aw, it's not a monstrosity!
The one that looks like cross-hatched boards would be super cool as a children’s maze. All you’d need to do is create a start and finish end and create a very subtle path interconnecting all the sections of it. You could probably send it to a game magazine!
