I'M HERE

I've been chugging away working at the tattoo shop this whole time. It's been .... 3 months? 4 months? I started November 4th, a day I'll never get over for the week long Presidency count. My asshole was clenched tight enough to cut diamonds the entire day.

Alex and I had our anniversary on the 13th of January, and for Christmas he and the tattoo shop combined their powers and got me a rotary tattoo machine. I'm not amazing at it, as it's a very heavy piece of machinery (as opposed to coil, which are barely a lb) but it reads better on skin imo and cuts into it easier. My sister passed her NCLEX and is currently a REAL LIFE NURSE. Alex found three plants in the trash and I'm nursing them back to health <3 Me and Alex are going to be spending Valentine's Day in a haunted house and I hope to actually update on that here. I feel bad that I've been gone so long, but my life is genuinely just TATTOO GO GO GO DON'T STOP DRAWING

Will you guys watch Inkmaster if I'm on it? (jk Inkmasters is cancelled)

What have you all been doing?!

Ooo, what a lovely anniversary present!

We have been having miscellaneous kitchen triumphs and ... not-triumphs ... over here. I recently was reminded that we do not fill the pot for our pot roast to the brim while also putting in things that will do some settling. The oven got cleaned partway through, due to a pond of broth in the bottom, and the pot roast continued cooking in the crock pot.

HAHA but did the broth pond smell good? Did your whole place smell like beef for days? I had a similar situation, but with chicken pot pie where all the juices leaked out ... sighhhhh ... that's what I get for buying cheap crust.

It smelled like candle smoke because it had dripped on the element with all the bacon grease, and then we put the oven on self-clean and it smelled like burning. Alas.
