16 wasn't opening my texts this afternoon so I sent her a constant stream of annoyingly cute gifs until she caved and read my messages. 😈

The consequence of reading my messages was that she got to go to the yarn store with me. A hefty penalty indeed.

Day after Thanksgiving

Grey rain runs rivulets down the panes.
Upstairs arguments over Fortnight and Mario Cart simmer
But I’ve turned the stove hood on for white noise
Piled the toys in their basket, poured myself tea,
scooped a slice of reheated apple pie.
And picked up my book and a cozy blanket.
