My sleep hasn't been the best because we're getting married a week from Sunday and I'm a little overwhelmed. So if you see me on here at odd hours that's why (I also get up at the crack of dawn for work, which I'm about to get ready for.) There is nothing bad in any way about us getting married, I'm extremely excited, I'm just an anxious person and want the wedding to be perfect.
We weren’t sure what to do with this little corner since we moved in, but I think it’s come together nicely.
Everything except for the appliances is secondhand :) We are big secondhand/antique collectors, because who needs everything new and full price?

Thanks! That one is actually custom made! It's supposed to resemble our dog :)

There's many different types of Cordyceps, each one targets a specific type of insect. If there was a type that infected humans you'd have people crawling in to airconditioning ducts in airports and shopping malls to die.

I grow cordyceps!

They look like Cheetos.

And no, I didn't ask, the checkout girl added it on her own. I didn't notice it til I got home. I'm 51! And I'm a senior citizen already?
OK, maybe my mother is not the worst mother in the world. Or maybe I should take a break from YouTube to restore faith in humanity.

YouTube doesn't exactly do great things for my faith in humanity either. I would not be able to stomach that video, by the looks of it.
Take a break, listen to some music or read a book, do something relaxing :)

Yeah, I guess being a better mother than these women is a very low bar to jump over.

A reminder that it could of been worse isn't exactly bad. But be mindful to not overindulge in such things, as they do affect the mind negatively for certain.
We have a very tiny independent thrift store down the street from us, and we checked it out for the first time today and it was awesome!! Got some housewares, jewelry, a jacket, and Pekka got a keychain that has one of his favorite sayings, "It is what it is," for only $1. Everything was on sale so in total we only spent $35. Really unique store that has different things than you'd find at a Savers or a Goodwill.

I swear this is not an ad lol
I realize I have not had a drink in a very long while and I forgot when my last drink was so I have no idea what my exact sobriety date is.

All you need to know is that you are sober now. This is a positive.
I am feeling a bit lonely, so I am making this post. We can be lonely together if we wanted to be.

I never get lonely these days.
Studies suggest that those over 50 tend to have greater peace of mind.

^The article talked about older people coming to terms with a finite existence and goals that haven't been achieved, after having gone through the midlife crisis.
I have been watching YouTube videos of entitled Karens getting arrested by police who are giving them the treatment they deserve. It is satisfying.
Just went for a hike and we both feel so much better. Now headed to explore a library. We’re still relatively new to the area (moved out here in November) and haven’t explored everything yet.

Pekka (my partner) and I have realized that we have too much of a routine. Everything is like Groundhog Day. We need to change it up a little and get out of the house more. We don't go anywhere, other than work, the rink, errands. We've gotten a little too comfortable doing nothing. Being married doesn't have to be boring.

Yes, you can find many things to do, and there are even activities that you can do that don't cost a lot, but which can be more fun than being at home. :)
A bigger snowstorm came through last night, 17 February. This is about a half inch. More is coming in waves throughout the week, and it won't get much above freezing until Sunday. Fortunately I'm prepared.

My dog is lucky he's cute, because his farts could strip paint off a wall. This is partially how he got one of his many nicknames, "Mr. Poopybutt"

Lol. Same with Enzo.

We call one of our cats “Princess Poo” for the same reason… and because she drops Godzilla sized craps in the litter box.

I swear we are functioning adults :p

Many ruminants such as sheep and goats have the same problem. If they eat too much of the wrong thing gases form in the first stomach that they can't get rid of. The stomach bloats bigger and bigger until the lungs are squashed and they can't breath.

Yep, watched a farmer punching holes in a flock of sheep when I was a kid. Sounded like he was stabbing car tyres. Tsssss...
