Pet all the kitties! And sketch all the animals you can’t pet!

I miss when fireworks were illegal here (well, for civilians, there were still planned shows occasionally). They were made legal and people went nuts and my poor cat was plastered to me the entire time, just shaking.

My brain is too scattered to think of biggest, but most recently was ordering anything from the cheap Chinese food place! Cheap! Mostly tasty!

Also gave me something that made me so sick for 2 weeks and unable to keep other food down I had to get an xray to make sure everything was okay! Ultimately it was but man! Bad two weeks!

Do spices count as ingredients? My mother always pressed into me so much to have a stocked spice…drawer? Rack? Thing? that I don’t think of them as a number for the recipe. “Of course I have black pepper, salt, oregano, bay leaves, etcetc” but I realize maybe I should count them before giving recipes!

Cleaning out the food trap on a dishwasher wax pretty bad, as no one knew it needed that and I hadn’t been part of the purchase. It was slowly not working so I searched for the specific manual and tada! death and horror awaited me.

It’s clean now. It stays cleaner now or I stab people with forks.

My bread machine just slowly developed a leak and died. I decided my stand mixer would do and removed the crying machine.

Legal weed keeps the teeth from mattering when they hurt.

Which is good because the soonest now the dental abscess is looked at is September.

I spent the last seven days in medicine that gives me brain fog because I have a dental abscess that is expanding my jaw. I have a root canal for another tooth tomorrow (later today technically, it’s after midnight now). I’m tired. I’m tired.

I have Grand Bazaar on the ds and I agree its hard going back to that from Stardew Valley. I managed to play through Knights of the Old Republic once and man. Loved it, can’t do it again. (I also had to cheat to make it through the end because “force powers? Nah sniper rifle is fine” turned out to be not fine)

I will dream of Two Point Museum, and continue to play Astronaut The Best and Star Traders Frontier.

Good luck with your writing! I too have had to search for some very silly things for things I’ve written! As for slow acting poisons, only ones I could think of that would be really available modernly would be like, antifreeze and such, but I don’t think that’s so slow acting. And usually it’s kids and dogs that get into that.

We have garbage plates here, so maybe not. I mean. I know what cheese curds are, but getting them is annoying! (NJ)

Lotta cranberry bogs here, and tomatoes.

Mother would ‘sing’ the Oranges Lemons song. Er…

“Orange lemons sang the bells of St. Clemens” song thing. It’s longer. I don’t remember it now.

I’ve only heard it called a clowder. I have heard some jokey names for collective nouns, but I think only a few are semiofficial? Like the murder of crows, etc.

My sibling works at a grocery store, so I’ll text them what to bring home. So it’s more daily then weekly. Sometimes we go to the Asian Supermarket but that’s more monthly.

Goodness those characters are so pretty!

Once all my cooking bowls are cleaned, I’ll make some! We had waffles this morning, so all the cooking bowls are dirty.

Oh right Ihad some chocolate on those waffles.

I need more! We all need more.

It is very hard and sad, knowing my house has no easily consumed chocolate.

I could make some chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies but that would take awhile… why can’t chocolate just appear next to me right next to my drink! Alas.

Oh, no. Hella worse. They were solidly middle class with two solid careers at this point. And kids, but I don’t want that part so that’s a wash. But nicer house, nicer stuff entirely. But me and my husband are in a better place relationship wise so I got that over them??
