Last night's dreams included a horrifying ride in a broken/crashing elevator and a missed train connection due to standing in the wrong line for an hour.

...am I okay???

@AnnaliseWolf It's very strange! In that they went with white and started with arguably the less visually important stairwell....but at, okay!

[Jillian Winter @deadofwinter412]

Some super nice workers are painting the back stairwell this week, and the music shifts have been vivid/notable. Turns out they alternate/share! Mike's pick for one hour, Marcus's pick for the second. My favorite part is that Mike is soooooo into his hour, it's so nice! 🤣🔥🔥💯

In Part 2 of the game, don't forget: we're way too scared to look at our bank statement BUT long ago we set up auto-emails, so that fear-factor bridge will be crossed at precisely 2am. 🤣😬🫣

(*I'm lucky, I'm fine, but this game still really sucks.)

Come, JOIN ME! Join me in the grad school game of "today is payday but I need this check to cover ALL my rent, and then I'll just have to wait 2 more weeks for groceries/gasoline/other bills..." (Wait but will it cover all the rent?...who can say...) 1/2

I don’t know what local weather channel needs to hear this, but we don’t actually need to see the weather guy swept out to sea on live television to understand that there’s a hurricane outside

For every 10 minutes of work I do, I feel I deserve a three-day vacation....this project is coming along *slowly*...

I had a really devastating dream, in which my parents told me about our family bulldog's cancer diagnosis, and I sobbed and sobbed and explained to the sweet pup how sorry I was. For all that was happening. I woke up BAWLING.

Friends, my parents do not own a bulldog.😳😨😵‍💫

I left all the windows open last night so the 48° air could breeze through my home AND BRING ME BACK TO LIFE. Thank you, colder weather. You're restoring my entire soul. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️☃️⛄🌬️💙💙💙🥶🥰

@KatieKohls Or it's just one dark crime away....just kidding. Bud, I HAVE GOT to stop watching Law&Order 🤣🤣🤣

[Jillian Winter @deadofwinter412]

Shout out to the houseplants that keep growing even though I (often) have no idea what I'm doing, right or wrong. 😭😅 This indoor jungle...it keeps me going. They fill my home with green, and rustling leaves, and the smell of good dirt. 💚 🪴🪴🌾🌱🌿🍀🌲🌳🍃🌟

[Jillian Winter @deadofwinter412]

@emilynaserhall Best compliment.

[Jillian Winter @deadofwinter412]

This head cold is the stone cold bummer I didn't know September would step to me with.

Someone who is blowing their nose this much should at least get to enjoy sweater weather and snowy nights....😭😔😱😳🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧 #suffering

Writing about dissertation struggles (obviously), Rodney Atkins notes that "If you're goin' through hell keep on going. Don't slow down if you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there."

I recommend this book! A really jaunty, complex story.
