Well so much for the Penzey's fundraiser

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127954) • United States 5h

I posted about in in our faculty FB group. I straight up said that I know Penzey's can be political (very liberal) but the Baking Club isn't. I posted it at like 3am this morning while I was up in the middle of the night. The new...

Charlie is nuts

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127954) • United States 8h

I took in an orange tabby cat like 6 years ago. He has been very expensive (2 unblockings and PU surgery) but he is super sweet and friendly. Fine. The idiot bolts out the door whenever he gets the chance. He doesn't know where...

Biscuits and sausage gravy

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127954) • United States 10h

I think this is largely a southern breakfast but I don't know. It isn't particularly common here in the northeast US. My mother and her BFF call it "spackle" and never let their husbands order it if they were somewhere that served...

I feel so techy smart

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127954) • United States 11h

I'm terrible with technology. Truly. My iPhone 13 decided to off itself last month so I had to get a new one. I don't even know what it is. I think a 17 SE. I don't care. As long as I can text and make calls on it I'm fine. It...

Doing a Penzey's fundraiser for Baking Club

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127954) • United States 16h

I'm still not sure how I got roped into being the advisor for this club. Yes I love to cook and bake but I like to just jet out of work at 1:35pm when the bell rings. I guess I did it to help out a friend. It definitely wasn't for...

Woooooooooooooo awake at 3am

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127954) • United States 17h

I actually woke up at 2am. I went to bed early for what I thought was going to be a nap. Nah bro I slept for hours and now I'm up and wide awake. Ugh. I don't understand how my body does this insanity when it knows I don't have to...

My ankles are ridiculously swollen

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127954) • United States 18 Sep

I don't know what is up with that. I mean they aren't just a little bit puffy--they are ginormous. Yes I am on my feet at work most of the time but this isn't a common thing. It has happened occasionally in the past but this has...

Ah the day spa

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127954) • United States 16 Sep

I've posted about it before. I was in residential rehab for alcohol back in the spring for 2 months. I was back there in early August for 3 weeks. I'm open about it with friends. The crazy part of it all is that it wasn't the...

They are opening another dispensary in this area

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127954) • United States 16 Sep

NJ legalized recreational marijuana a few years ago. It took some time for us to get a dispensary in the area. It is always busy. Whenever I drive by the parking lot is packed. About a year later another one opened almost directly...

A few of former students are taking advantage of my generosity

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127954) • United States 15 Sep

It is funny. I have students who will absolutely hate biology and complain about class every single day but then they come back to visit all the time in the following years. I don't mind and it is actually good for my current...
