Another Preds game night with the guys. Hoping our boys in mustard yellow will defeat the Kraken, but so far this game is uh… not going well.
At least we have snacks…

What a turnaround!! The Predators ended up winning after being down 2-0 in the first period. And closer to the playoffs!
Now we can go to sleep lol
The temps are fluctuating madly and alternate between too cold, and then too warm for a good maple flow. After boiling, I have barely a quart so far.

If I had money to invest, I'd bet on a scarcity of maple syrup in the near future.
3rd ER visit in a week. Beginning to wonder if I should sue the insurance company for negligence in not approving a wheelchair for me. My body is so weakened now from six months in bed, that I have a bunch of resulting health problems. Every time a doctor finds out I've been stuck at home, they blame my resulting debility for my weakness and illness.

She's so pretty. Shiny and red :) With a black seat. Nice brakes too. Holds laundry baskets like a champ.

I know of two couples that do video and the wife is able bodied wife/husband in chair.
One advantage of having husband in chair, both wives agreed, *never have to
carry packages.*

Absolutely true. After shopping, I can hang some of the bags on the headrest. The rest, I can lace through the seatbelt as I strap the seatbelt around my waist. So I don't really have to carry bags either.

Heavy boxes weigh almost nothing when they're just placed on my lap in the wheelchair. So I can carry big boxes pretty far. Like if we're going to the post office or something.
I find it's nice to do one thing that makes you happy each day. It adds up to lifetime of happiness.

I planted some plants with beautiful red tones, just adds a pop of color, and l smile.
At the hospital with my roommate. We found out someone's been hurting one of our friends and now we're waiting on forensic nurse and some doctors.

Omg, that is so sad and terrible :( I wish you all the best and hope this situation is dealt with swiftly so everyone can recover. Hope the perpetrator gets in trouble.

Why do you mean by "hurting"? And why?

Let this be a reminder that you are far from alone because there are millions of Taylor Swift fans...and that's practically the only kind of songs she writes.

Did you get everything up and running? Did you get your potatoes planted?

Haven't planted the potatoes yet. I will do that in a day or two. I really need to do it since they're sprouting.

And then this is a heavily filtered version of that previous one. This is actually a mashup of the "tiles" one from yesterday, and the one I just posted previously. I used a combination of Filter Forge and Photoshop to do this.

My newest fractal creation. This one is interesting in that there's a lot of versatility for it to act as a base for other objects.
My husband and I desperately want to go on vacation. Our honeymoon is scheduled for June because of the unpredictable weather we've been having here, and because our hockey season ends in April. It's hard to wait, though.

We're going to our summer house :) We just want a nice, chill vacation far away from everyone and everything, and don't want to have to worry about booking flights or anything.

That's the best plan, most touristic places are too crowded in summer anyway.

Makes sense to have such a plan. Hang in there....:)
My friends I made last August believe I have talents and don't want to give up on me, unlike you and others from the other places the past 7 years.

I already have I just am having trouble believing it due to other people saying I am not entitled to have it or I am not well enough for it.

You are allowed to ignore them,everyone sees each other from their own perspective after all. Also even if you made mistakes in the past you can always improve yourself with time.

I know it seems like people have given up on you but I think many people have run out of advice to give you and don't think repeating the same advice again would be helpful especially since it seems like you don't want to hear it. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Long, boring drive this morning… maybe solved by car karaoke :P
These playoffs are absolutely not high stakes btw, we are an entry level team playing against hot messes who drop their sticks, fall, and hit the post on an empty net… it’s been called the “consolation cup” lol. That is how we keep bulldozing everyone. We just suck *less*. It’s just for fun!

This is like 1000 levels below the NHL 😅 More like @Outdated's bowling team...
I'm in no way trying to demean myself or imply that I'm a bad goalie, but I'm usually up against goalies who block shots like they're blindfolded, lol. For what our team is, we're very good, which is why we keep winning, but the competition is usually dead in the water.

If anyone wants a laugh, look up "funny beer league hockey stories" or "weird goalie stories" on Reddit, lol. I can't share links here because most of them are rude, but there are some good ones on there.

Apparently, I have this thing when I'm distressed, my ears hurt. Is that weird?

Could be a symptom of a pressure headache.

Or Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle tension, I get that. Can cause headaches, ear ache, jaw pain, tooth pain, shoulder pain.
