If I were sorcerer queen of the land, my pettiest use of magic would be to curse everyone so people who don't pick up after their dogs on shared lands get ass boils. There'd be like a 30 sec grace period but otherwise BAM, ass boils. The boils go away when you pick up the poop.

Local news blog runs a sponcon post of a new kimbap restaurant opening in FFX County but nowhere in the post does it list the restaurant's actual address. Like, I am VERY interested but I'm not driving to Fair Lakes or something.

I remember very little of this dream now but I knew when I woke up that bsky would appreciate the bisexual colocation.
Just woke from a dream where vampires powers were linked to the vitamins etc in their blood and could do stuff based on how much of it there was. Our hero always had a massive vitamin d deficiency and couldn’t do shit except use the power of bisexuality to be in two places at once

I’m cutting herbs I forgot I had and attempting to do the frozen cubes of herbs thing (yes, see also my freezer blindness why this may be a waste of time) and I’m having a hard time not digging up at least one of my giant sweet pepper plants to transition into a house plant. It’s still flowering!

Me: takes last night's chicken carcass and makes crockpot stock overnight.
Me: doesn't really want soup for dinner though
Me: "I'll just freeze it!"
Me: finds 3 quarts of stock in the freezer from 2023.

One of my arms has decided that it’s going to go numb when I hold it certain ways which is very fun & not at all annoying especially since “certain ways” includes most sleeping positions and holding my phone to read. I’m assuming this is fallout from my shoveling adventures. Like I irritated a nerve

There are 2 eternal truths about mulch
1. You could always use more mulch
2. There is always more mulch left in the pile than you think

This is the mulch that never ends. Yes, it goes on and on, my friends. Some people started shov’ling it not knowing what it was and they’ll be out there shov’ling it forever just because this is the mulch that never ends. Yes, it goes on and on, my friends. Some people started shov’ling it not know

My brain has decided to reinterpret a smell that wasn’t good before but not awful in a new way that is awful, and frankly it would have been better to just keep not smelling it at all. I thought the dogs were having new really awful farts but no, it’s just my brain smelling it differently.

Okay so if I buy the "fitness tracker" available through the FSA site, I have to buy a subscription to use it. If I wanted to get one without that bullshit, I have to get my doctor to submit a letter of medical necessity. God I love the US healthscam industry!

If you have a costco membership, PediaSure and diapers are on sale right now. Might be a good thing to grab and hand to your nearest food bank/etc if you want something quick & easy. 💓

Like, today would be a good day to go move more mulch but mostly I want naps. If I wait until tomorrow I theoretically have two more pairs of hands to help, which would be a lot faster. I would however miss out on all the wonderful exercise! Lol
