How the hell was your day? 🐕

[November]

Spent my birthday yesterday helping my mother-in-law try and find a snake that had gotten into her house. No luck, but we setup some video cameras to see if we can find where it is coming from/going to.

Snakes are the worst!! What a way to spend your day! One of the ladies here told me the way to track snakes in the house is by putting a fine layer of flour on the floor. Would be messy, but they can see the tracks. We all have wood floors though, Im doubtful it would work for carpets 😝

Normal day for us today, went walkies in the crazy gusty wind. Neighbour dropped in with some lunch for me that he had just cooked, so that was lovely. Free food that I didnt have to cook!

Off work today. Ran bunch of errands earlier. Got a new phone. Picked up some Dairy Queen to go.
Now over at the 'rents place. Me, GF & mom are watching Mother's Day (2016) & eating DQ. 🙂

Almost went to KFC again...but I fought the urge. I mean, the prices are absolutely ridiculous (like everything these days). I didn't feel like driving anyway, so I'm content.

Picture this: a huge grilled cheese sandwich with two fried eggs, sausage, a hash brown patty, and grilled onions. I made that, and let me tell you...holy crap was it difficult to flip it in the pan! Haven't eaten it yet, but totally looking forward to the experience. 😊

I must go to the post office tomorrow! Dont let me forget. Postman is probably mad cos I havent checked the box for ages.

I was chatting the other day to someone about the post office being for sale. I said the days of post offices are numbered, considering some countries are already scrapping post and just using parcel lockers. He freaked out cos they do all their banking and bill paying at the post office. I guess this post office is incentivised to stay functional, but who knows for how long.

@November don't forget to go to the post office. 😁

Eating that huge breakfast sandwich on an empty stomach wasn't such a good idea.

But it was good going down. And yes, that's what she said.

My day was good! Did some wood carving at our local senior center. Working on a whimsical house out of cottonwood bark.

After doing laundry, I decided to get more KFC. Just three pieces of chicken, no mashed potatoes or biscuits. Do they serve KFC in hell? Not saying I'll end up there, but I'm a firm believer in planning ahead. Just in case!

Very good day today. Me and the family went to a local comicon, scored some Mass Effect and Buffy merch, hung out with a friend. Kids had a good time.

I also donated my 9th unit of blood afterward, so I'm relaxing while my husband spoils me and I just chill with my new tablet, working on figuring out how to use Ibis Paint X as I'm getting into digital drawing. It's fun, even if I can't draw a circle yet, it's fun to discover what all I can use.

My sleep pattern is trying to flip on me again. It will not win! Its far easier to beat it's pull with puppies on my side. They keep me in a routine, make sure i am up right on time for breakfast and walkies haha.

I have a lotto ticket for every single day this week. If not a house near a pool, I want to get a pool! I've lost so much strength since the pool shut and now my leg is giving me such trouble again. At least it is cool enough to spend lots of time on my air track out the back without having to supervise the dogs as closely as in summer.

Poodle is learning not to chase danger, she didn't even chase the big spider that followed us in tonight. I could squish it with my thong without a nose in the way!

Went to gym & ran errands. Then me & GF went for long walk. Now we're just hanging out watching stuff...

I SUBMITTED MY DISSERTATION TODAY! I had been stressing for weeks, I'm glad it's over but very worried about what grade it will get!

 

[November]

Didnt win the Powerball 🙁 Could have done more but spent most of the day reading haha. It was crazy windy and a few passing showers so not the best time to play in the garden anyway. Dogs got walkies, I ate too much food, washed my hair and then sat under the heater trying to dry it. The time has come that I either need to buy a hairdryer or shave it all off again.

I haven't had any gummies since Sunday and I feel absolutely wonderful. My mind is absolutely clear, I'm full of energy and suddenly I'm not retaining water more. Mind you, I was taking at least 60-130mg daily...since late 2022. Wow. Never stopped to think about it before!

I truly believe that God stepped in to show me I DID NOT need all that crap. All of this happened so fast, it's kind of eerie. I can't emphasize how different I feel mentally. Like I woke up from a coma (which I have done before) or something.

 

[SavvyScoobie]

great! I got distracted and got no work done.....I did do a couple chores later on I guess

 

[Anyanka Bunny Slayer]

guessing yer talking bout edibles & not just regular gummies?

Absolutely. No more THC for me. I never imagined I'd feel waaaay better without it The world looks so different....in a good way. 🐶

That's amazing! Maybe try lighting incense or doing meditation, it really helps me when I'm stressed

Actually, I've been burning incense for a couple of years. Nag Champa and Black Orchid are my absolute favourites. What kind do you like? 😊

 

[HowiMetdaSlayer]

Yeah I've only had them few times myself. Mostly when was ill. Usually went with the more PC option: CBD

If you are looking for something to help you sleep, maybe it isn't your metabolism that is causing the problem.

My girlfriend keeps a supply of cascarilla (pronounced cas ca ree uh) whose purpose is to prevent ghosts from entering the room. It works! I went from tossing and turning and being unable to sleep to being able to get into a deep sleep with it. It is supplied looking like sidewalk chalk and each piece is in a 1 inch diameter paper cup of the type used for ketchup in some fast food places and it is supplied with the top of the cascarilla level with the top of the cup. It is made from egg shells but neither of us know how it is made. You crumble pieces of it in your hand and blow it onto the surface you want protected. One cup supplies enough to keep a room clear many times. When combined with incense, it provides a restful sleep. She got her supply for $40 from a couple in the Bronx many years ago and the amount was about the volume of two bags of sugar. It may not be expensive, but it is a 14-hour drive from Toronto the the Bronx and it was worth it.

I don't believe in ghosts. However...

Tis a full moon 😀

Stormy day here, so we sat inside watching tv, cooking, cleaning and eating most of the day. Went out to the garden during the breaks in the rain, but the dogs didnt like the wind, so didnt want to be out there besides loo breaks anyway. Just had a hot milo with marshmallows and will be off to bed soon. Feels later than it is!
