I keep thinking about how I had to call the Anthropic settlement line for help when their terrible site kept borking and I also said, "Hey your database is also all wrong." And they said, "Yeah, we know." And I said all of this should have been built better and they said, "Coding is hard."

Never fold for a JKR or a Trump or any of these types. Nothing fills their sucking void of a personality. How dare you ever spoke about them! They will just keep coming for you.

ME: Why did I think I know how to refinish furniture? ALSO ME: OF COURSE YOU CAN YOU CAN DO ANYTHING ANYTHING AT ALL JUST SAND HARDER DON'T ASK FOR HELP

Are you good with refinishing furniture? Do you like authors and dogs? Please come at once serious inquiries only.

First gel stain attempt on raw wood has turned out really badly and blotchy. So what I need now is one of those helpful lesbian women I love who make reels on Insta about how they will help any neighbor with a project that requires tools and know-how.

Maybe I can make videos giving writing advice while sanding the hell out of a 1985 bedroom set.

Because of a family emergency, Oscar has to go to England for about 10 days. Which obviously means it's time to rent an orbital sander and see where the week takes me and our bedroom furniture.
