mostly roving, partly stars

@Acey - @Everett t got it in one! At least in my part of the country, it's consistently available at Meijer (and I've heard probably at Walmart too?). I can only get it in the 2-liter tho. It's AMAZING.

 

We don’t have Meijer in my part of the country (and I’m nowhere near a Walmart), alas, but do you know the brand name? Might be able to order it...

EDIT: WHOOPS MISSED EVERETT’S REPLY...will look that deliciousness up asap

 

UPDATE: Found it on Amazon! Wishlisted it so I can get it later...

 

To be fair, she is a cutie, but idk if you want to be part of that polycule rn given the current Situations with her other triangle points

 

@Acey it boozes REALLY well too btw

If you like gin, put gin in it. Is good stuff

 

I super agree. Even w/out the immature boyfriend complications, idk if I could be metamours w/her wife, and idk if it would actually work out well in the end even with polycule considerations. But I am pining a tiny bit. Gonna try to shift it over to just "fun to fantasize about."

 

Ooh, I’m not usually huge on gin but that sounds like it could be really nice!

 

We did dinner, and then a pokewalk, and I MADE A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND

Spoiler: So special very wow

I was trying to get my cat to pose with my new friend, and then I caught the charmander "petting" him!

Now my wife is helping me with some student loan bullshit, then it's Sims Time :D

 

Making plans for cake experiments later this week!

For today, though, I am still a bit disoriented, and worried I'm coming down with a cold :/ I'm just going to try not to fall any further behind on Irish lessons and call that good enough.

 

Apparently this was not the day to set my goal on Irish lessons @.@ SO MUCH VOCAB this lesson clump!

I said I was gonna, so I'm gonna. I'm... just gonna take a snack/stim break & maybe let my brain chew on a tappy game to reset.
(I'm very worried that I'm not retaining much if any of this, but ahhhhhhhhh at least I'm making dents in my brain that will eventually fill with knowledge?)

 

Well, I at least completed today. Anything else I could say about it is probably vent thread material, but I'm going to cuddle my cat for a while.

 

For Thurs:

• Remember your heckign OT stretches
• Make grocery list for shopping
• Knitting
• Transcribe tests?
• Dump bag in crockpot @2
• Put spinning basket back on desk
• Irish lessons (spin for breaks)
• Dinner w wife
• Pokewalk if weather, yoga if no

 

I don't have sleep, but I do have rain sounds, and that's almost as nice. Nicer, in some contexts.

 

I have done:

• stretchy stretchy
• grocery list (& grocery convo w/sis)
• mid-cycle budget update (forgot to list this last night!)
• put food in the magic cauldron

I need to:

• shower
• craft
• Irish lessons (w/assistive craft set up nearby)
• eat meals at appropriate times
• do evening excercise (weather's looking good for pokewalk, yes!)
• sometime, do transcription exam if I'm feeling up to it (this can be put off it's not an emergency)

Also, apparently I slept through there being a bird in the vent. This is not the first time in the past 3 years (although it is the first time in this apartment) that a bird has somehow Gotten In (at the last apt, it got into the drop ceiling of a bedroom, somehow.) Are we just attractive to birds? Does this happen to everyone?

 

My freezer meal experiment is not turning out the way I expected. Crockpot was a bad choice. I decided to make some rice to try to salvage the meal, and it occurred to me that I could try putting the other bag of this meal that's currently in my freezer in the rice cooker's steamer basket instead (since all the ingredients are safe to eat as is, they'd just get defrosted & warmed, and the sauce would drip into the rice). I'm gonna try that next time. This time, though, I'm just gonna have to deal with overcooked peppers :/

 

SO MANY FRIENDS OUT TODAY
Also we made it out while there was still sunlight heck ye

Spoiler: Many photos of frens

My bud! (and me)


Came home to this spooky guy radiating eldrich energies in my living room

And, of course, the two best pokemon of all

 

I should be sleeping but iiiiii'm staying up thinkin about food I wanna make

I'm super happy that I'm really back in the kitchen groove lately, and I guess this is better than depression pit or trauma spiral... But I gotta sleep sometime?

 

ANYWAY foods to try

Two-color namasu (tomorrow)
Sourdough coffee cake (tomorrow)

Corn cream soup (maybe tomorrow? If we don't go out)
One pot pasta
Guinness mac n cheese
Sausage & peppers again, only Steamed this time
Tem flakes (aka fried rice)
Palmier
Cinnamon apple rose tart

 

Coffee cake in the oven! Ingredients for namasu also acquired, and the supplies for the scrapbook project turned up. So even though I might not get all my projects done due to time loss & spoon loss from having a bit of a freakout, I do have everything back in place again, and it is Good.

 

Wherrrrre has my focus gone...

I have many fiber projects stacked up around me here but I keep ignoring both them and the video podcast I put on to relentlessly refresh social media :/

I am super cozy tho!
