I've been sick for the past few days, and I'm so relieved to finally be over it. The weather made a total about face, going from 75 one day to 50. So, a lot of people are getting sick. I spent most of the time crocheting a blanket and watching Lower Decks. As soon as I'm done, I'm getting rid of Paramount+. It crashes all the time, and the ads are ( Read more... )

It gets hard these days to have any chill. Today was not one of my better days.I actually had the day off, my first in two months since Jess had her gall bladder removed. It was nice to a day during the week do get stuff done (we're closed Sunday, but so is everything else). I got asked by my mother if I wanted to hang out downtown and get lunch, ( Read more... )

Since I've had this computer, I've been meaning to go through my AO3 and FF.net favorites and save all my most loved fanfic to the desktop. Now I can read any of it offline. I've been wanting to try book binding (I even found a good deal on a book press), though I haven't got a printer just yet.  It's taken 2 hours, but I've got it. Well, mostly. ( Read more... )

Work has been so exhausting lately that I  haven't gotten on my computer to do much more than look up a recipe for the past couple of weeks. Other than that, I've fallen into a bit of a new habit. I recently got an exercise bike that I can actually use. The last one I bought had to be sent back because it was just too big. Being short sucks. My ( Read more... )

We've been very busy at work with all the people who have come to town avoiding Milton. Just one more double shift and I can get a day off. I still have to finish Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. It's very cute, and pretty fun. It's no Ocarina of Time, but I've gotten way more enjoyment out of it than Tear of the Kingdom. Silent Hill 2 has been ( Read more... )

We had Oktoberfest at work last week, and it's been madness. We sold over 260 brats, and over 300 hot dogs (boiled in beer and grilled outside). We almost sold totally out of beer. I feel like I've been playing catch-up ever since, not to mention I didn't get much in the way of a day off except for Sunday. But, another week down and I'm feeling ( Read more... )

Out of the several books I've bought recently, I've read three. The first two were okay enough. But the third I fell in love with. It's The Thursday Murder Club, featuring a group of British octogenarians in a retirement community who try to solve cold cases. Until a murder happens. It was delightful. So much so, I bought the rest of the series so ( Read more... )

I went to a new bookstore downtown to see if they had any good spooky reads. Honestly, they don't hold a candle to the old one that closed before hurricane Micheal. That one had tons of all kinds of books. The same people had owned it for years before selling to a different guy about three years before it closed. The prices from the first owners ( Read more... )

Pity I was at work at the time that I was today. The afternoon had a good hard rain, and it would have been perfect for a book and a cup of coffee. It's just as good, I suppose. I don't even have a book chosen for what to read next. Horror, I think. There isn't anything written recently that I've gotten any enjoyment out of. I have a huge book of ( Read more... )

I got to cooking with my new stove, and I love it. The first baked dish I'd made in years was a beef and noodle casserole that turned out pretty good. I've set up a casserole for breakfast tomorrow, which I plan on freezing half of for a later date. And the stove top heats up very even;y and quickly. I'm going to go through my recipe books and look ( Read more... )
