I keep seeing groups go down the opposite side of the street that dont seem to ever come back up my side. Probably 20-25 here so far. Which is still worlds better than my last place, which in six years, saw zero trick or treaters

I saw one group consider my house then pass it by. Look I know its old and looks kind of haunted, but I have pumpkins out!

After six years in an absolute trick or treat dead zone I just got my first group of kids at the new house! 😭❤️🎃

And then of course the third thing happens, and I stumble on a degenerate but fascinating character dynamic and fixate, so we're at the "rotating durgetash in my head like a gas station hot dog" stage of this whole endeavour, I fear.

After bouncing off the mechanics several times Ive finally got into Baldurs Gate 3 in recent months. And as with most rpgs, Id seen enough to *think* certain characters and arcs were really gonna hit for me (Gale), then got utterly charmed by something that wasnt on my radar at all (Halsin)

Watching '20th anniversary editions' of books arrive at the store and immediately going "they've got the year wrong, surely, I remember reading this at its popularity peak when I was in highschool-"

And the horror of realization sets in

Shes an obgyn, i would ask your GP for a referral to her. I dont have a gp so planned parenthood sent me her way. You dont get a whole lot of time with her, but she listens and doesnt dismiss. She found and removed endo lesions from me and im dramatically better than i was in 2023

See if you van get a referral to Dr Cook. I was seeing her for a numbrr of things while i was trying to figure out the source of my pain two years ago, asked for the endo surgery, she left the room, came back with the form, and got me in on a cancellation a week later. Absolute rockstar she is.

One thing, even after ten years Ive never gotten used to in Newfoundland is the absense of cicadas. On hot days like this the trees are uncanny silent and it just feels off when you've grown up somewhere where the soundtrack of summer is the bugs screaming in the sun

So I say "hold on!", run into the house and grab some jam and eggs for him. Well he sees the jam and goes "hold on!" And runs into the house and grabs four bottles of different homemade wines. I dont yet know my next move, but this is getting very funny

He phones me back, shares some lore about our houses, and the following week a bundle of rhubarb appears on my porch. So I picked up some strawberries and made jam with it. This morning im out trimming the front hedge and he runs out to introduce himself properly.

Ive inadvertantly started an escalating battle of neighbourly bartering with the man in the attached house next door. I left some eggs from my chickens on his porch a few weeks ago with a note introducing myself and my phone number

Quietly crashing out in the produce aisle because they still dont have niagara cherries and I live for the scant few weeks a year I can get fruit from home in newfoundland

Heavy metal has always been so central to my world, and Black Sabbath are the band that began it all. Goodbye, Prince of Darkness, the world is a darker place without you 💔

My china hutch is also a puzzles and boardgames hutch. I think this may be the generational progression of such furniture 😅

Everything in this house is older than dirt, except the fridge, which is modern enough to have a door alarm, and it turns out thats a real good feature for my distractable ass

Bit by bit Ive started rebuilding my dvd collection as I give up streaming and I gotta say, Im enjoying having a small library of comfort movies/series over an endless selection of slop. I am in my heart of hearts a physival media girlie and i will never again stray

Now, I get to spend my forever in a shabby century home that feels custom fit to my life and belongings, in a walkable neighbourhood, surrounded by ancient trees. After decades of precarity, for the first time in my life everything feels truly ok

Megan 🇨🇦 @trashabellanar.bsky.social · Jun 30

And I just walked out of the old apartment for the final time. At 6 years, it was home to me lobger than anywhere else ever was. Plan A was to buy the house and stay forever. But as often is the case, when one thing doesnt pan out its to make way for somrthing better.
