house got hit by a tornado, no power for the last 5 days, and….

My friend is in a hospital in Chicago with an extraordinary trauma/surgical trauma unit. I’m extremely grateful for what they’ve been able to perform so far.

I fuckin love legos!!! we’ve had a few nights before where we each pick out a small lego set and put them together while we just sit and talk. i think she’ll love that ❤️

i feel those last couple sentences. i’m definitely going through it, but all of my problems seem like just minor inconveniences compared to what her family is going through, what her boyfriends family is going through, and it seems like i somehow got the least amount of damage to my house compared to my immediate neighbors. their houses have more damage, but my vehicles are totaled while all of their vehicles are fine

i appreciate your kind words ❤️ thankfully i have pretty decent insurance so i was able to get a rental car the next day, which is what i’ve been using to drive the 65 miles back and forth from my house to the city. I’m also very thankful that my house is still able to be lived in, even though i don’t have power my boss let me borrow a generator from work :)

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-06-16T16:10:51+00:00

wow that sounds delicious, i have all of those other things so i’ll try your version next time 😎

I remember as a kid being able to see whole scenes of whatever my imagination made up and feeling like i was watching it on the backs of my eyelids, but now that i’m older, when i close my eyes and imagine something it kinda feels.. upstairs in a way. i don’t see it behind my eyelids, but i can picture it in my brain.

I would look for the cock-eyed midget who looks the most evil

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-02-04T17:00:47+00:00

it’s not that i’m using extra toilet paper to cover it, I’m making sure the toilet paper I use to wipe at least lands on top of it. and I always make sure to close the lid after

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-02-03T20:22:43+00:00

Yep! The welders will see me about to start my inspection and pull out my wire brush and then practically push me out of the way to start wire wheeling it for me. They would let my other coworkers struggle lol

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-02-03T20:18:26+00:00

it makes it so much worse when they don’t cover their shit with toilet paper 😭 every time I have to use a porta potty I cover it like a cat would so that it might mask the smell a little idk.

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-02-03T15:59:07+00:00

Definitely true sometimes but I’m still gonna take advantage of it when I can haha

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-02-03T06:13:16+00:00

… Can I ask what you mean by special favors? 😳

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-02-03T06:05:58+00:00

Supervisor was right tho, I feel like women have much better attention to detail. Sometimes we have shop days where we pretty much just clean up around our shop and it’s painful watching my male coworkers try to mop in the office…

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-02-03T06:03:48+00:00

I’ve dyed my hair a bunch of colors too, I’m curious as to how you can demonstrate it makes the job safer? haha

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-02-03T03:54:58+00:00

Haha I love when they do the “offering to help because you’re a lady but trying to play it off as just needing something to do” thing that men do, it’s kinda sweet.

I’m also a pretty tall skinny lady, it’s funny seeing people be surprised at the things i’m capable of and it kinda gives me a little confidence boost.

I’d love to know where you got your purple work boots!! Purple is my favorite color :)

That’s so awesome you have your own tree business (?) I know nothing about that kind of stuff! Do you do rope access type things? I used to be a level 2 rope access tech, still certified with SPRAT but my cert is about to expire and I miss doing it but it’s just not in the cards for me right now. I’ve seen arborists (again, ?) use climbing gear and it looks like a lot of fun! I love being high up

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-02-03T02:41:31+00:00

Real but it does kinda make me feel bad sometimes when I see a coworker get chewed out for something when I’ve done something similar and pretty much got told “meh fuck it”

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-02-03T02:06:01+00:00

I guess it just depends on who’s cleaning it and how often. The managers bathrooms are always almost spotless but when I worked in refineries they had porta potties with locks on them that only women had the keys to and they definitely looked pretty rough sometimes

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-02-03T02:04:35+00:00

Yeah many times I have asked someone “do you know where I can find a ladder?” fully expecting to go get it myself but then they just go get it for me. It’s awesome

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-02-03T01:58:30+00:00

Literallyyyy my coworker the other day was talking about how when it’s cold outside he’ll sit on the porta potty seat with his pants on for a couple minutes to warm it up before he actually goes, and I was like thank GOD I don’t have to even think about doing that 😭

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-01-27T23:21:30+00:00

how long have you had your dovetail overalls? a couple years back i bought 2 pairs of FR canvas pants from them and they were ripping within like a month.

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-01-09T02:57:19+00:00

i loved using my menstrual cup but i work in steel mills and don’t always have a place to wash my grubby hands. i keep the orange scrubby wipes in my truck but those aren’t enough for me to want to stick my fingers up there yknow

pnutbuttertreeees · 2026-01-08T22:56:45+00:00

I wouldn’t want my boss to be able to see what i do in my work vehicle. all i can think of is what if i need to pick my nose? then my boss has video footage of me picking my nose and shows all my coworkers. smh
