Last Notes npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear We did too! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear This was my air earlier this morning. Wearing an N95 when I have to go outside now! https://image.nostr.build/8b3258ee94cf4cffa0061571f1fb598d79a1b861d01959b451db0c5d831a06cb.jpg npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear There needs to be a coughing emoji. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear So excited for this! Major kudos to the whole Soapbox team! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. The smoke here in the Cities is really bad today. Like standing downwind of a strong campfire, but you can't escape it to fresh air. Sky is hazy, and the sun has an orange filter to it. https://blossom.primal.net/e8be9eff52817fa89bc390a9e481fa9b051be7c54735b69638759ed5fe6ef301.png I wore my N95 mask this morning to walk Lu, who seems completely unaffected. Every time I step outside now, I get a pretty much instant headache. Really hoping the smoke passes soon. I'm very blessed in that I don't have any respiratory issues, so I can't even imagine how bad it is for those with asthma. Stay safe, fellow Midwesterners. T-two days to the end of this job. Happy Thursday, all. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear 🦖 Rawr! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear It's so bad right here now, too. I wore an N95 mask to walk the dog this morning, which sorta helped. Stay safe! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. T-3 days until I'm done with my current role! Very excited to be moving on. Came back from the cruise with a bit of a sore throat and stuffy nose. Not great, but I've been taking my Zinc, so hopefully this is out of the way before I meet my new team in person on Monday. It is very good to be home. We've been so blessed to be able to take this trip, but I am always happy to get back to my regular routine. Have a good Wednesday, all. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear My handwritten Oshi thank you notes with my latest order always make me smile! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear When in Canada, you check out the local Costco. On a Saturday. Like an idiot. (The chicken and fries were actually really good!) https://image.nostr.build/4c7d0eae31a930804facf38910c0ccde6d71c6dd3ad5eee86b6b39d9dcb7d9a2.jpg npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. Killing some time on the ship this morning before we disembark. Got the whole day to kill in Vancouver before we can check into our hotel this afternoon. Hope to find somewhere to go and hang out, as there are some rain clouds threatening, and we both have all our rain gear packed. https://image.nostr.build/793379705d3d4edf468e5babb91ed39421f6044f096697ee0edf1d80384cc4cb.jpg npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Good afternoon/evening Nostr friends! We're mostly through our Alaskan cruise. Today we're in Ketchican, our last port. Tomorrow is cruising all day, and Saturday morning we arrive back in Vancouver to disembark. One more day in Canada, then home. It's been a bit too much people time, but the views have been gorgeous. I even got to pet a black bear! ☺️ https://image.nostr.build/46aa2a619ba861e0b01a2598a2dd195398bac281157de431fef1bb0af536c84f.jpg https://image.nostr.build/73c011f4e0570f9f284eb7a5592c180c1124dfa2684a4df4c3b57d7cbe1883f8.jpg https://image.nostr.build/17a3fd8e740ea54fe55f24c85ce0f5e30ddf5e5243fb1129ff109cd0147a0263.jpg https://image.nostr.build/595acc500bd36cf628cbf7d2b58d56d06e47a6886feada4d3f32a8e378139e35.jpg npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear A belated GM (GA, and GE)! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Yes! This is the way! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. It's my birthday! So grateful to wake up today, another year older, next to a husband trying very hard to be quiet and still play on his phone. For a sweet little pup who feels safe enough to fall asleep on my lap. For the friends who are like family. For the bucket list vacation we're going on in a week. For all of you! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear I've been using Nostur as my regular client, and it connected just as slick as can be with Clave. The other I use on and off is Keychat, but as it's just a web wrapper (essentially), the UX is weird and it's not as intuitive as I'd like. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GE Nostr friends. With all the excitement, I forgot to share with you all - that interview I did early last week? I got the job! Found out at the very end of Thursday afternoon. I start on July 20th! I'll be working as a business analyst yet, but for a completely different department within the University. My friend works as the project manager for the team; it will be so lovely getting to work with her again. Feeling so blessed right now, but nervous at the same time. I have a meeting with my (current) boss first thing tomorrow morning to tell him. We've never really gotten along - long story there - but I do feel bad leaving the team at a time where we're really busy. I will not be sad to get away from him, but I basically grew up with the people in this department. Anyhoo, exciting. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. How on Earth did I somehow end up getting notifications from the latest Hell thread? I'm not a part of the cool kids club, never have been. 🤓 The last two weeks have been very stressful - both work and life-wise. Hubby's mom's house has a buyer, but with the contingency that we get the old well capped off. That's had a ton of issues (something far down is completely stuck, so they have to bring in heavy equipment to try and get it out). Hubby is stressed to the max because of it. He is picking his mom up to go do the signing and complete their part of the closing today, so that's going to be an amazing stress off his shoulders. The well still has to be finished before the buyer signs off, but he's willing to wait. I had my interview for my friend's team on Monday, after only learning about it and getting it scheduled this past Friday. The weekend was packed so I had no time to prep. Sweating bullets waiting to hear back. There have been been constant meetings for the new fed regs going into place July 1. With being in meetings and sort of having to pay attention, that leaves little to no time to actually DO things. I was so stressed that I actually gave myself hives on my arm, chest, and back this week. UGH. Here's to a quieter Thursday. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. It's been a while, sorry about that. Been insanely busy this past weekend helping Hubby with chores around Mama Baer's house getting things finalized before she signs the papers to sell this Thursday (whee!), and got in a long bike ride on Saturday. Sunday was church, and then I had to work several hours to load a bunch of files and run processes so I wouldn't be behind come Monday. Took longer than I planned, so the day was kind of a wash. Yesterday was just nonstop busy-ness, and I had a job interview(!!!) with a team still within the University that my friend is on. I only found out about it on Friday, so had basically no time to prepare. I felt like it just went okay, but my friend said it was great. Really hoping to find out soon. I'm completely burned out on my current job and the people. Rainy day today, so that makes my walks with Lu pretty short. Kinda nice, but it is good to get up and away from the monitor for a while. Happy Tuesday, all! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Gag. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Hey #AskNostr Hubby and I are going to be in Vancouver before and after our cruise at the beginning of July. What are some sights we need to see, and where are some good eats? We'll be right around Canada Place before the cruise, and in the Richmond area after. No car, so either by foot or bus are our options. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. It's Tuesday! Taco Tuesday, for those who celebrate. Amid all these posts about AI this and that, all I really want is a pair of glasses where I don't have to constantly clean off bits of dust and schmutz. Don't get me wrong - AI has its uses, but I would much rather not have to wonder if that tiny piece of something is on the inside or outside! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM! :ablobwave: npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear You got this, @npub1pea…agsv ! I used to have dentist anxiety. Still don't like anyone sticking their fingers in my mouth (for any reason!), but it's one of those grin-and-bear-it adulting things. Regular tooth maintenance you doing your future self a favor. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. Pour half of a protein shake over a half cup of oats and add in a cup of frozen blueberries = breakfast! (Also coffee, but that's separate.) I've been noticing silver strands starting in my hair the last year or so. Hard to believe I'm (approaching) middle aged. Seems like my 20s were just yesterday. Still, wouldn't go back. So much life and learning has happened since then. End of this month is my birthday. I've always loved June. My parents made it feel extra special when I was a kid. This will be my first birthday with both of them gone now. Well anyway, enough mauldin thoughts. The birds are chirping praise to our Creator, the sun is shining, Lu is on the mend (it's a respiratory infection of a different flavor - not kennel cough as we expected), and my coffee is cold and delicious. Enjoy your Wednesday, all. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Hope it goes well! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear This is the saddest thing I've seen recently. We're not sure what happened, but its mate stayed by its side for several minutes, even when we approached. 😭 https://image.nostr.build/69ddfceecde96747a950fad7853405435914a592017f87583fd3fbcea3a06b48.png npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. Happy Friday! No meetings on the calendar today. Hallelujah! It's been a week that leaves me feeling like my brain is wrapped in wet wool at the end of each day. Very much looking forward to a day where I can actually get some stuff done. Hubby and I are talking about driving somewhere and going biking for a few hours this weekend. Hopefully the weather holds out. I applied for a position on my friend's team yesterday afternoon. It's another business analyst job, so that wouldn't be any difference, but possibly more pay and I'd be outside the financial aid world for the first time in my whole work life. Would be a challenge, but I'm very hopeful I can get it. 🤞 Sit back, and enjoy the ride! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Thank you! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear #AskNostr I'm running low on sats, and need more @npub1uzt…qtrh hodl butter for myself and a friend. Where do people trade their fiat for sats? I don't have strike or river, so that limits me to Zelle or Venmo, mainly. (And I won't purchase Monero or USDC.) npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear He dropped a spider pic in the Signal chat yesterday morning and it was the first thing I saw when I logged on. Bad @npub1uzt…qtrh! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Very much hoping you didn't learn this firsthand...😱 npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Gorgeous! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. I couldn't figure out why yesterday and this morning I was only seeing my own posts and nothing else. Somehow, all my follows got wiped again. Sigh. This is getting irritating. Thankfully I had saved a backup. 🤨😠 Laundry is in the wash currently thumping around. No coffee today, but a cold can of yerba mate with mint followed by a Irish cream flavored mug of Teecino. Lu is going to get a bath and haircut this afternoon, so soon no more fuzzy baby - just slightly bewildered pup with a summer 'do. She always looks about 1/4 of her size after a cut. I miss her face fuzz, but much easier to clean up after dinner. Happy Thursday, fam. Enjoy your day, get out and soak up some sun if your local weather permits! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear @npub1cwh…ujc5 I got my fresh batch of jerky, and I am obsessed with the curry fire flavor. Ate a whole pack in one sitting, and tempted to go back for more. You somehow condensed the perfect smell/scent combo of my favorite Indian restaurant into a strip of meat. 😵🤯 npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. Some days, I honestly don't know what to write here. I don't want to blather on about nothing and be totally surface level all the time, but also want to balanace the realism. Sorry you all have to read my random train of thought/diary posts! Thoughts on marriage: Hubby and I are still going through some growing pains even though we just passed our two year anniversary. And by growing pains, I mean miscommunications that lead to hurt feelings, but eventual conversations to clear the air and grow closer. It's a growing experience for sure. I'm still not "used to" being married. I was 40 when we got married, and Hubby (Mike) was 47. I guess I naively thought that being married would trigger a change in mindset automatically from 'Me' to 'Us'. Surprisingly, it hasn't. 😏 My parents had terrible communication skills in their marriage, even though they very much loved each other. I never knew Mike's dad (he died before we ever met), but it sounds like his parents were similar. Hubby and I both tend to shut down and withdraw when we're hurt, and for me growing up, being quiet meant the person was angry - even when it's now just taking time to process without responding in a hurtful way. Definitely something I'm still learning. Wish I would just memorize the lesson once and level up! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Good evening Nostr friends. I met a friend for dinner tonight, now home and listening to Hubby trying to video chat with his mom and direct her how to reset a password for an account. 🤪 Some things, even Nostr doesn't fix. Lu is begging me to go out for her evening walkies, so that's all for now. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GN! Sweet dreams. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear I will! You were right about the butter inside a date - amazing. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Can confirm - #hodljam is amazing, and we all already know #holdbutter is da bomb. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. Whew, rough day yesterday. Lu has been throwing up and having liquid poops in the house a lot lately. Yesterday she was clearly hurting - getting up every 30 seconds after settling in, pacing, and just generally not acting like herself. I finally took her in to the vet around lunch time, and almost $800 later we have a diagnosis and a treatment plan. My poor babe has a moderate case of pancreatitis. She has lost almost 2 lbs since her regular physical in March - which is a lot when you're normally only about 10lbs to begin with. Got her on an anti-nausea med every 24 hours, and a tiny dose of Pepcid for stomach acid every 12 hours, along with a diet of boiled chicken and either rice, mashed potatoes, or white bread. She went straight to her water dish when we got home last night, and gobbled gobbled every bite of her meal. Still seems pretty tired today, but hopefully on the mend. Happy Friday, all. Hope you have a good day and a great relaxing weekend! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends! It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood, and if you understood that reference, how's your back feeling today? I discovered the Denali National Park's sled dog puppy cam this morning, and have been watching that instead of working. (Oops.) The pups are so sweet. No way would I want to deal with a puppy in the house (Lu has been having stomach issues daily, including puking in front of me this morning before I could get her outside), but I would love to go play with a pup for a bit. https://www.nps.gov/dena/learn/photosmultimedia/webcams-pups.htm?utm_placement=newsletter&user_id=66c4c18e600ae150758c71f8 And on that signing off. Won't you be my neighbor? npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Jealous! But true dat. So much lost sleep over the years. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Sending you a hug! Glad your busy-ness is paying off (literally). Hopefully you are able to fit some rest in there whenever possible. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends! It's trash day, so listening to the cacophony (man, I had trouble spelling that) of banging and crashing and brakes squealing outside right now. I've been waking up 30-45 minutes before my alarm is set to go off every day for probably about the last week. Not sure what that's about - I just open my eyes, and I'm wide awake. It's a new sensation. Hubby and I took our new bikes for a spin last night, which turned into a five mile ride because we just wanted to see where a trail ended. On the ride home we took some different twists and turns, and I almost un-alived myself by taking a turn a bit too fast that had some dirt, leaves, and little bits of branches strewn across the road. As it happened, I went off the path and almost hit a tree before I was able to get my feet down and throw myself and the bike off to the left. Didn't fall off, but I did get whipped in the butt by some foliage on the way down. Thankfully Hubby was ahead of me and didn't see it happen. 😩 Overall it was a ton of fun. We're planning to do some day trips to put some miles on and see the sights. I'm looking forward to it! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear LOL, sorry! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Nope, I don't believe that! It's basically decentralized nodes passing along notes to each other. Kind of like kids in school passing notes - it originates at A, gets handed "across the aisle" B to C to D, etc until it reaches its destination. The note is encrypted as it moves. Same idea for mesh networks as with Nostr. Anyone can run a node to pass and receive messages. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear I've been getting into Reticulum the last few days, particularly MeshChatX which includes the Nomad Network. Still trying to figure out the basics in relation to my (somewhat limited) understanding to Meshtastic, but having fun with it. Got my own instance hosted on my Umbrel since it became available recently. Anyone else on Reticulum? I'd like to try it out. my LXMF address: 2975e803f4324bac281c8286f6d2886f npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear What a great way to start the day off right. Have a wonderful day! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Cleaning up my follow list. I got a little overzealous back at the beginning. Hard to keep track of my feed with so many posts happening! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear I had an old mini pc that was mostly past its prime. Didn't have a ton of storage so it was a short term use at best. Wiped it and installed the Umbrel OS and used it as a server. Depending on your usage, Start9 might be a little cheaper? npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear The copycat we used back in the day added an additional metric ton of sugar (probably at least 1/4 to 1/2 C), but I don't remember milk or egg. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear I wish! But nah, we ordered different colors. ☺️ npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Gooood morning! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends, and happy Saturday! It's a chilly but sunny day. I woke up on my own ahead of my alarm, which was a nice change. Got some chores to do today while Hubby works at his mom's house, and then we're off to run a bunch of errands for the week ahead. Enjoy your weekend, my people. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Hubby riding around the neighborhood on his new ebike! We ordered at the same time, but for some reason mine was delayed. Oh well, at least he's having fun! https://video.nostr.build/2eb7323a835b977d64c751c71415087d9a5dd6a72898b7be1a6f531498ae4260.mp4 npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Sometimes Nature is just freaking cool. The bushes we found were along a walking path that meandered through a meadowy area of our also very suburban neighborhood. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM! Enjoy your coffee and the peace and quiet. Happy Thursday! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Mrrroww! More sleep! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear 😆 npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear My blobbis are in various stages of neglect. I've started avoiding them. I'm a terrible blobbi mom. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Goooood morning! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. I decided to make a dirty chai for my morning caffeine today (just loose leaf chai in with my coffee in a pour over situation). So far, delicious. Would recommend. Yesterday was just a super down in the dumps day for me. I can't even begin to explain all the dark thoughts that just dragged me down until Hubby came home. We ended up sitting on the patio for a bit while I just cried with Lu in my lap as he coaxed me to tell him my thoughts. Just saying them out loud got me to realize how silly they were, and he was a total sweetheart listening and reminding me that everything I was saying negative about myself wasn't true. Ended up having a much better evening after that. He is my heart. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear I've never even heard of a dewberry. What do they taste like? npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Niiiiice. 😎 npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Thank you! No falling on my face today, spent some time doing a devotional this morning, so off to a good start. Have a good one yourself, friend! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. Pretty quiet weekend. Hubby and I did a lot of cleaning and organizing in the house. It was much needed. My desk was particularly disgusting. When did I become a cave troll? Almost surprised I didn't find any bones along with all the crumbs, hairs, and other miscellaneous gunk. Bleh. Happy Monday! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Some days being a business analyst supporting staff who have no idea how queries work has me like: https://tenor.com/view/bang-head-smash-stressed-cant-take-it-gif-7963715 npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends! I had to sign into work this morning to deal with a failure for a process I support, so while I'm waiting for the run to finish processing, here I am. Coffee in hand, Hubby working for a while at his mom's house, laundry waiting to be folded. Our two year anniversary is tomorrow, so we're going to go see Project Hail Mary at the theater tonight. I haven't been to see a movie in ages, so I'm very much looking forward to our date night. Happy Saturday! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. It is Friday, my gals and dudes. I keep hearing this weird sound outside, almost like a bird flapping its wings to ruffle up its feathers, if said bird were made out of plastic. Finally looked outside, and there's a shredded up plastic bag stuck high up in the branches of a neighbor's tree, and the wind has been catching it. Mystery solved! My hands are healing up nicely from my stumble on Monday. The right palm has a pretty solid scab on it that stretches and breaks a little when I lay my hand flat, so that's not fun. Bingo with a group of friends tonight, and I'm definitely looking forward to it. This has been a rough week at work. Happy Friday, all! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Well, hello Spring. https://image.nostr.build/011c6203a2a924d6afe0391fc71077e34fa0b829c934ddde2cf2c2298834c67a.jpg npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Oh yes! First thought after I landed was, 'I hope no neighbors saw that...' npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Junky candy (Reese's, about a dozen Andes mints), restaurant food (although my meals were delicious), and ice cream. I did fit some salads in there too, but mostly just garbage calories that taste good but do nothing other than push my weight back up. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Ha, thanks! Lost some skin on my palms, but mostly just damaged my dignity. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. I'll keep this short, as my hands hurt too much to type. 😪 Tripped and fell over my own feet walking Lu this morning. (I was wearing sandals, so I blame them.) I took several steps trying to avoid a collision with the ground, and lost. Scraped up both palms, and landed hard on my right hip and shoulder, and definitely strained the muscle going from my wrist to my right thumb. Nothing seems to be broken, so I just limped home and cleaned out my abrasions. Still....ow. Must be Monday. https://media.tenor.com/Nt9lW8cGaqsAAAAC/mondays-uh-oh.gif npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear I need to detox from sugar, primarily. I had been good for so long, and then started eating bad stuff lately. Feels gross, and I know better. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear I've been doing an 18:6 myself, but Hubby and I were both terrible this past weekend, so I'm going to try and do a 20:4 today and tomorrow. Hope you make it through the 36 with no issues. Let me know how it goes! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. Happy Friday! Yesterday (April 9) was my pup's 14th birthday. Hard to believe Lu is solidly into her teenage years. She still has a lot of pep in her step. She got pepperoni and bits of string cheese for treats, and lots of pets. Hubby and I are headed to southern MN tonight for a quick getaway at our favorite hotel. Back tomorrow mid-morning so we can prepare for his family's belated Easter get-together in the afternoon. Should be a pretty good time. I'm very much looking forward to all of it. Have a good weekend, all! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Yesssss...come to Minnesota! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Linux Mint. Tried most other Ubuntu type distros, bit always come back to that one. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Puppy in PJs, snoring away after getting a back massage and snuggles. https://npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6.blossom.band/58f920e108908a761ff5a888ec90beba6c37ac7fddba6c808a3ac3a9d6d379c2.jpg npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. I woke up early with the fear that Lu had pooped downstairs (again), so I took her out at 5:30and then went back to bed for a couple more hours. It felt great. Hubby is working on his mom's house today, and I've been tasked with bringing some boxes of clothes to Goodwill later. It's a wet, foggy kinda day, so I am planning on doing some other chores and maybe cooking up an old recipe for dinner. Maybe some reading too before Easter service tonight. Enjoy your Saturday, all. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM! Safe travels! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Yeah, seems like a fun little time waster, but I can't find enough info to make it useable. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear It's an option on Ditto. Also on https://www.blobbi.pet/ Kind of like a Tamagotchi? npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Aw, that sounds awesome. Hopefully I can get there soon - their menu has me drooling. Alternatives to Perkins are always welcome! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Ah, the former Coffee Cup! (May they rest in peace.) It's right across the street from my all-time favorite Chinese restaurant, South China. I will have to check it out! I told Hubby that we needed to go when we picked up our Chinese take out a few nights ago. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Alright y'all, my Blobbi - Bebe - has poor hygiene and hasn't hatched yet. I already spent my coins on food and toys in preparation. What even is this? How am I supposed to get more coins? https://media.tenor.com/ZrjugubIDDMAAAAC/it-was-the-bebe-moira.gif Also, GM friends. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Ooo, I love omelettes. What's the name of the diner? npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Happy birthday, my friend! Only good things for you today. 🎂🍰🎁 (the cake is sugar-free) 😘 npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Hello world! #blobbi #ditto #nostr npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Blobbi! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear GM Nostr friends. Hard rain against the bedroom window and on the roof this morning while I was getting ready. By the time I got Lu outside, it had stopped. (Thankfully.) We're supposed to be getting 5+ inches of snow on Thursday, and yesterday was in the 70s. The weather is never boring in Minnesota! Today I'm grateful for the perfectly quiet, calm start to my morning with my sweet pup and a warm cup of tea. Although work is quiet, my days have flown by while listening to the wonderful narration on the audio version of Project Hail Mary. I'm praying for some help dealing with a friend where her bad behavior toward me has been pointed out by multiple others (this has been happening over several years), and things are heading toward a confrontation sooner rather than later. I hate that it's come to this, but I'm trying to work on my boundaries while being a people pleaser, so I need the Lord's help most desperately. Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear I was collecting egg cartons for a while for my brother in law to use for his family's coop. Just reminds me I need to start doing that again! Hopefully they have some for you. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear I would agree. Boundaries are something I've always struggled with. npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Agreed! npub17yz39h76u6kltj9kzw7jus3mgpv0ep3dwsef80aqs3clejff8wesmfa6q6 jojobear Opened all the windows today. Feels so good! 😊🌞
