ACIMH, Car edition – serial killer sightings

February 27, 2021 by Alyssa Day Leave a Comment

ACIMH*, car edition

Me: Look at those two large steel cages in the back of that truck. You just know that guy is a serial killer and that’s where he keeps his victims.

Navy Guy: Would he be so obvious about his murder cages?

Me: Sure. Hide in plain sight! Also, look how muddy the tires and sides of the truck are. that’s because he’s been hanging out at his isolated murder cabin in the woods.

NG: You know, the strangest thing about this conversation is that after 25 years with you I don’t even find it strange anymore.

DISEMBOWELABLE

ACIMH*

At dinner tonight, Navy Guy and Law School Ninja and I discussed the word I invented today: DISEMBOWELABLE.

Me: Penny eviscerated another toy today. We need toys that are not disembowelable.

NG: that’s not a word.

LSN: Technically, according to the principles of English, it should be a word.

NG: The principles of English are so weird and bizarre and nonstandard, you can’t really count on them.

Me: And yet, you knew exactly what I meant. I’m writing to the dictionary people to suggest DISEMBOWELABLE should be THE word of 2021.

Happy holidays! I hope you have pie and joy and love and laughter. Please stop reading here if you want to stop on the cheerful part of this post. The rest is bleak.

I love you guys. Merry Christmas and happy holidays and happy New Year.

Okay, if you didn’t stop up there: here’s some truth.

I’m exhausted. This year has been so awful in so many ways. If you’re feeling anywhere near as broken and tired and sad as I am, please know that you’re not alone, and let’s all hope and wish and pray for a better 2021.

Because 2020…

Slight delay

Quick note to let you know BLINK OF AN EYE will be out in December instead of 11/30 – thank you for your patience!

I’ve always been honest with you about my depression, and this has been a horrible month. So I need a couple more weeks for BLINK OF AN EYE. As this is the week for it, I have to tell you how thankful I am for your patience and understanding. I’m trying to up my daily dosage of pug hugs. It helps.
