I’ve been off Twitter for a long time, but this is what I see when I log back in. As if I needed more reasons to leave the US...

Removed previous owner’s nameplate on my door. Was trying to make it easier for couriers to find the right door for my parcels until I got my own plate made, but I think I just made it more confusing for them 😂. #unfortunatename #DIYfail #lockdownboredom

Is there a stronger way to say “not photogenic”? My visa photo looks like chairman mao with a fringe. #Damnit #ExpatLife #fml #unending2020

When my friend retells this over the years, I wonder if he will take some artistic liberty when describing how be big his toddler’s “wad of mittens” actually was. #toddlers #crotchgoals #ShitKidsSay #parentingtoddlers

Breaking a long Twitter silence because I physically can’t get off my sofa to do anything else with my life. My knees are sore from thanksgiving gluttony. Pretty sure they’re buckling from the extra 10 lbs of food I ate today. #HappyThanksgiving2020 #gluttony

My dog, Sir James Squiggs-a-Lot (aka Jimmy Squiggles) is a sneaky boy. His belly is currently COVERED in glitter. Despite Covid restrictions and his lack of opposable thumbs, I think he’s managed to have a wild night out without my knowledge. #dogmomlife #dogsoftwitter #dogs

My @TunnockOfficial caramel wafers & #teacakes just set off explosives detector at airport security. They sent in explosives specialist and everything. Don’t worry, dark choc successfully diffused, and nobody died. #airportsecurity #MondayMorning #covidtravel

Sometimes you just need a really satisfying petty feud and an accidental rage nap to make yourself feel better about life. #ThursdayMotivation #ThursdayThoughts #ThursdayWisdom #NailedIt

Apparently this is what happens when you order brunch in #America. If I’m lucky, we’ll finish this by Tuesday. #brunch #SaturdayMorning #oops

My mother is somehow super excited to crack open a bottle of $2 wine. Pray for us. This could be how we all die. #ThisIsHowItEnds #WhimperNotABang

You know that your mother is plotting something diabolically evil when you look up from your coffee and see 100+ feet of cable running from the phone into her bedroom. #FridayThoughts #DarkTimes #Run

“So why are you moving to Scotland? For a man or for money?” Apparently these are the only two reasonable explanations for my life choices. #MondayMorning #MondayMotivaton #edinburghlife #Scotland

Anyone else feel like 2020 has been the longest episode ever of Battlestar Galactica? #TuesdayThoughts #DarkestTimeline

6 months after requesting flight voucher from @AerLingus, still nothing. Unbelievable. Looks like I’m going to be filing my first-ever complaint with the Better Business Bureau or equivalent in every country on my itinerary. #sundayrage

I think I’ve spent more time on the phone with bankers and lawyers in the past week than I have with my actual friends in the past year. #ExpatLife #FridayThoughts #Wtf

My neighbor is blasting bagpipe music. I know I’m in Scotland, but surely people don’t actually listen to this for pleasure/relaxation?! #TooScottish #tuesdayvibes #isthismylifenow

10 years ago, I was bitter about how all my peers were super successful while I was poor, alone, and dicking around Europe. Now I’m not as bitter, but my peers are still all super successful while I’m only slightly less poor, alone, and dicking around Europe. #FridayThoughts
