Saving me from overly large slices of chocolate cake was not in the wedding vows between my spouse and me, but he takes the job very seriously, and I deeply appreciate him for it each and every time.

Confession: Price matching Target purchases to the prices listed on Amazon is one of my favorite things. I am a menace and fully expect all Target stores to eventually put up posters stating that I should not be allowed to shop at Target due to my wanton use of their price matching policy. Oops?

Today, I picked up books from the library for the first time in years. I am kinda stoked, not gonna lie. I am trying to decide if I'm just gonna read 'em or try my hand at writing about my impression of them as I go. I guess we will see. 🥰

I didn't wake up this morning with any idea that my child would be moving in, but she is here with her two pets and we are waiting for burgers from a local restaurant and, as my boyfriend stated, it's clearly Sweeps Week.

After a traumatic week and a big surgery to help him avoid future urinary blockage, Goose is so happy to be home. I'm not sure he's stopped purring since getting back. Jewal, however, is less pleased and would like to speak to management.

I made inedible turkey jerky today. I'm low-key annoyed about it, but my dog thinks it is Christmas.

Confession: I am incapable of putting broccoli in my fridge without getting Dana Carvey's "Chopping Broccoli Song" stuck in my head for at least a half hour. Yeah.

Every time I use the laundry chute in my house, I marvel at the simple genius of how my laundry on the second floor magically appears in my basement where the washer and dryer live. And the only thing that powers this magical device is GRAVITY! Why did houses stop having these?!

Yesterday, I made apple chips and tried but was less successful with making banana chips. Today, I made cracked pepper and garlic beef jerky. That was HIGHLY successful. Five vacuum-sealed and labeled bags now reside in the basement freezer. Heck yeah!

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

I have a batch of apple chips and banana chips going in the food dehydrator. My house smells delightfully of cinnamon. I have also been looking up information on other methods of food preservation. Our government is inspiring reasonable Americans to prepare for anything. 🇺🇲

Even more dental shenanigans, two grocery store stops, a pharmacy stop, preparing for adventures in food dehydration, a fridge clean-out, putting away groceries, cutting up and drying dog food, and making a pot of chicken coconut curry soup. Today has been a long week. How's your Monday so far?

I'm on week four of finding new and "exciting" ways for my mouth to be in pain. On the plus side, the rampant nerve pain in my left ear and jaw have largely been slowly decreasing the last few days. The reason for that, however, is because the new appliance hurts more than my ear and jaw. Lawl.

There's something so endearing about your puppy giving you the most loving expression, licking you on the cheek, turning around as she snuggles next to you on the couch, and then releasing the squeakiest fart possible in your direction. Yes, pup. I love you, too.

After waiting for 10 months, today I finally got the call I've been waiting for: I have a new patient appointment for The Ehlers Danlos Clinic at Cleveland Clinic. I am just so deeply grateful to finally get a few more answers. Being a medical curiosity is exhausting.

So the plan yesterday was to stream. What I did instead was get sucked into book 2 and lost all track of time... again 😅

What you may not know is that this mesh dog lounge is right over the heat vent in our living room. As a result, this becomes her favorite place to be any time she hears the heat kick on.

So. It has been 12 days of wacky petsitting adventures. Sitka's parents return today, but in the meanwhile, this sweet girl is so deliriously happy to see me. 🥰

I'm on day #1 of a 12 day dogsitting adventure. It entails a lot of playing with a large 10-month-old puppy and watching him sleep a lot. This leaves me a lot of time for reading, waiting, crafting, and watching TV. It's certainly a different way to spend the holidays, but he's very cute.

It's just me and the critters while Mike visits Madison this week. Monday, I drove all day and then stayed up all night sewing and watching Chicago Fire. Yesterday, I grocery shopped and made cookie dough while the cleaners did their thing. Today: I made soup and more cookie dough. Woo.

Phoebe is a phenomenal car pup. An 8 hour car ride was a breeze for her. So proud of her on her first adventure away from home.

Today is hectic as we get ready for a weekend of family and holiday celebration. I'm baking cookies and putting finishing touches on handmade gifts. And, of course, getting Phoebe ready for her first trip out of town, which is also very exciting.

I'm participating in a cookie exchange with friends tomorrow, so I made dough for two different kinds of cookies. They are chilling in the fridge. I choose to believe making cookies is actually healthy because one batch called for orange zest, which means I have to eat the orange afterward. Go me.

I participated in an adventure today and used the "Too Good To Go" app. I spent roughly $15 and picked up: - A prepared breakfast of bacon, eggs, potatoes, biscuits, and gravy - A prepared meal of Italian white cheddar mac & cheese and a key lime cheesecake - two huge bags full of bread and rolls

This dog is not a fan of the cold and does all she can to be as snuggled up to me as possible.
