Awoke this morning to the delightful news that there’s a Turnpike concert at Sandstone in August. Tried and failed to get tix for Tulsa & red rocks. I will not fail again.

@LisaLuckstruck I’ve started reading listings for sowing machines as part of my doom-scrolling pastime.

No replacement groundhog? Supply chain issues are terrible these days… RIP Mel

[NPR @NPR]

Milltown Mel, a groundhog who has for years offered his weather predictions on Groundhog Day, has died, his handlers say. They say Mel "recently crossed over the rainbow bridge" — and their scramble for a replacement rodent before Feb. 2 was fruitless. https://t.co/4rtEe94aUU

I’m seeing all these small business posting notices about closing for the day and here I am preparing to put on some snow pants and go sewing, like a fool.

[Mel 🪡 @themelfreeman]

So I went to Free state brewery for a friend’s birthday and artichoke dip was on the special menu. I ate the whole app as my meal…along with 2 storm chasers. See you tomorrow, diet.

[Mel 🪡 @themelfreeman]

Welp…this week looks fun.

I mean sure, sunflower fields are great, but sometimes you gotta snap that milo. #HappyKansasDay

Just got a new mattress delivered yesterday, it would be wrong if I didn’t take a little nap this afternoon.

Is 90’s teacher style coming back? Because I just inherited some 90’s teacher dresses that are incredibly comfortable.

I don’t usually tweet about sports, but maybe laces out, Dan?

I forgot to switch the apple watch to my right wrist while eating cake, so that all my bites would count as steps.

[Mel 🪡 @themelfreeman]

Got an Apple Watch to help keep track of my movements and workouts. What I did not expect was it telling me how close to heart death I am every time I move swiftly across the room.

[Mel 🪡 @themelfreeman]

Found out from the Vet that there is a melanoma vaccine available for dogs and my mind was blown.

There’s nothing wrong with pairing a $30 bottle of wine with a box of Mac n cheese.

I promised my partner last week that this was the year I would join him for a first day hike on a local trail. Here’s hoping we don’t end up like Alfred Packer. 🥂

[NWS Kansas City @NWSKansasCity]

Nothing like a winter storm to usher in the New Year. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for Saturday, with frigid temperatures, and a mixed bag of precipitation types: snow, rain, freezing rain, sleet probably. We'll keep you up to date as we get closer. #NewYear2022 #Snow

@LisaLuckstruck 13yo me would be ashamed that I told my husband “4 dogs is too many dogs! We are not getting a puppy”

[Mel 🪡 @themelfreeman]

@MattKesinger I haven’t seen it, but does Katey Sagal kill someone with a carving fork on a horse?

[Mel 🪡 @themelfreeman]

Sure I’m always a little late, but just spent the morning learning about Jorts and Jeans. My day is going to be a good one.

[Am I the Asshole? @AITA_online]

AITA for “perpetuating ethnic stereotypes” about Jorts? https://t.co/sC58aB3ecK

After 2 vaccines, a booster, recovery from breakthrough covid and regaining my sense of smell and taste, I felt invincible enough this week to go grocery shopping on a Sunday.
