Random Things I Was Thankful for This Week (feat. a caffeine rush)

Cold Weather

So apparently, it’s fall now…???

No joke, I woke up today and it was fall. A triathlon happened yesterday. People were swimming. VOLUNTARILY.

And now suddenly it’s 60 degrees.

Personally, I love sweater weather. I have one (1) shirt I like to wear other than my sweaters. My entire family watches in fascination as I see how far into the summer I can get before I resign myself to T-shirts.

So yay for cold weather!! ⛅

Chocolate

I bought four chocolate bars at Super 1, intending to give them to a friend as a going-away present, then forgot to give them to her like the utter loser I am.

But on the bright side, I’ve been eating a lot of chocolate this week! 🤣🫣😇

Kombucha

YAY KOMBUCHA!!!

No, it’s not a hippie drink. How dare you. 😠

Hot Chocolate (sort of)

We have a milk…heater…upper…thing… *checks for name* A BREVILLE. WE HAVE A BREVILLE and it is fantastic. My favorite warm drink, I have discovered, is hot milk with a tablespoon of cocoa powder and a tablespoon of honey stirred in.

It’s like hot chocolate…BUT BETTER.

And bee barf is healthier than cane sugar so there.

🍫🐝☕

School Planners

MY SCHOOL PLANNER IS HERE.

AND IT’S COLORFUL.

I’ve been using the same type of planner for the last four years. It was black and white. It was boring. It looked like sadness.

BUT NOW.

*maniacle laughter*

This one is COLORFUL and it has a BLANK COVER that will NOT BE BLANK FOR LONG because I have A BAG OF STICKERS I WILL ATTACK IT WITH.

Ehehehehehehe.

(Please note that I had coffee four hours ago and I think it’s just now kicking in.)

Scrapbooks

In my American History class this year, we get to SCRAPBOOK for our portfolio? Is it just me, or did the world get twelve times better over the summer?

I already typed out my exam essay on my typewriter. It will be going in the first page of my portfolio.

(Also, my typewriter’s name is Agamemnon. He is very choosy and doesn’t like it when I try to use the dash key or the Q key. Or the spacebar. Or the E key. Or most of the other keys.)

Paper

I was thinking this week…can you imagine how annoying writing things would be if we didn’t have paper?

What if we had to write on rocks? And then carry around a chisel and hammer to write things on the rocks? And then instead of using a grocery list, you had to drag a rock through Walmart? And then anytime you wanted to read you would go to your car and pull out your suitcase of rocks and drag them to your table and start reading your rocks.

That would be ANNOYING.

Outro

Thank you for reading my random ramblings! And thank you Brown Water Coffee Co. for providing the caffeine rush I apparently needed to write this post.

What are some random things you’ve been thankful for this week? Let me know if it relates to rocks or bee barf! Thanks, and happy trails!

    I am the SAME! I’m glad it’s colder now because I can wear jeans and not die 🤪

    YUSSS! Kombucha is so good!

    Wait… is that what it’s called?! A BREVILLE? I have one of those too! Warm milk is the best! I like to put Carmel or amaretto syrup in it!

    1. YESSS KOMBUCHA!!!

        😱 You don’t know what amaretto is?! It’s SO GOOD!!! It’s an almond flavored syrup! It’s sweet and tastes amazing!
