Ooh, ooh, I live here!

Oh, don’t be judgy. I love my dog, but sometimes she’s a pain the ass. Walking her is lovely, but sometimes it’s a pain in the ass. It can be both. People experience the world in different ways.

I went to Maui by myself in October. I broke up with my ex early this year, and I had asked my mom to go with me, but she couldn’t... but then it turned into something “crazy” I was doing for myself. And I have never felt so free in my life. It was an amazing experience, and I’m no longer afraid to travel alone :)

I have the privilege of access to a laser engraver, which is a magical machine capable of turning cheap finds into amazing and beautiful personalized gifts.

Yeah it seems like the closest I get to softened butter in the microwave, is mostly cold butter with a hot melted hole in it. I still do it when I’m impatient, but it doesn’t work very well.

My nurse friend told me a long time ago that you should rest your thumbs on the front of the wheel, rather than wrapping them around the wheel. Evidently, both he and his dad (also a nurse) have seen quite a number of broken thumbs from car accidents. It’s always in the back of my head.

Refuses to wear his glasses is my best guess, too.

Sounds like it wants some experimenting. I think in the interest of not overdoing it, and being able to easily remove the fat (since you’d only want to use the smidgiest little bit of essential oil I’d think) I’d probably start by mixing a bit of essential oil into another oil, something either neutral or

Heck, now I’m all fired up to buy an Instant Pot lol

Thanks! I made a big pot of potato soup this weekend and dished it out to freeze. If nothing else, actually labelling this stuff will probably go a long way towards reminding me to eat it! It’s no longer mystery mush, it’s potato soup I made in December.

I played the new Jackbox games this weekend actually. Overall, wasn’t a huge fan — we started with the one where you have to design and pitch a product, and it was just too much. We all just wanted something snappy to play while drinking, and this one just asks for SO MUCH INPUT before it goes to the other players

I am bad at adulting, thanks. I just realized the “soup” in my freezer is from more than a year ago.

I think I have it in my head that once I’ve frozen it, it’s gross. Like the texture will be bad.

I need to learn how to do this. I like to cook (theoretically) but I hate to cook for one. And when I get it in my head to cook, I overdo it. And then I let the leftovers go bad in the fridge and then throw them away.

Oh man, the rib thing suuucks. I think I did this last year with a cough, irritated the heck out of some rib ligament on one side. It wasn’t a pain that *concerned* me like I was dying (mine was more to one side, not in the middle), but it was super annoying. Couldn’t lay down comfortably in any but like one position,

To be fair, though, if you have the symptoms and extreme pain suggesting a heart attack, DO get thee to the emergency room. My mom insisting her way to the hospital and ignoring my stepdad trying to calm her down (and making him pull over so she could drive herself) is why she’s alive today. Yay!

I didn’t *divorce* since we never married, but I broke up with a long-term partner of 9 years I owned a house with a few months ago. I totally get this, even now. I like to cook, but I hate to cook for one. It’s been months, and I’m fine, but relearning how to feed myself as a single person is the worst. There are a

Damn. That’s a hell of a nice thing to do. Shame to hear he was a dick the rest of the time.

The gym I used to go to in my home town was surprisingly decent. I mean, they still only had one squat rack, but they had a much larger free weight area, several benches of different kinds, and a few free weight “machines” that basically facilitated a few moves like leg presses (and took regular weight plates) without

I moved recently(ish), and my new place is right around the corner from a Culver’s. It’s a dangerous place to be, so close to quality fried food.
