How Was Your Day?

Been very stressful lately/overwhelming. People have taken advantage of my and my kindness a lot over the past year and it’s catching up to me mentally. Just hard. Feel very alone, y’know? But I’ll manage.

I think I’m gonna start going to church again. I thought about it a lot today. Thought about a lot of things today, some of them really heavy and hard to deal with. Going on their website and seeing March be the start of a “There is Hope” sermon series…I dunno. I just feel like it’s somewhat of a sign.

Just trying to get through a period of really intense hardship so I can get things back on track and back to normal. And once that happens, it’ll be like nothing ever happened. 🙂

Sounds rough :( hope things look up soon.
I hope you find a nice church. I rekon now it depends more on the congregation than the denomination as to how hopeful and spiritually supportive it is.

I still have a migraine lingering so dont want to go walkies today to set it off, but its lovely to sit in the garden and listen to the magpies sing. Yesterday the magpies were playing tug o war with a piece of tinsel at the park. It was so funny to watch. Today the magpies have come to find my puppies rather than the other way round 😀

Xander is looking MUCH better today. Im going to ring the vet for more pain meds, must not forget! I have to redo his pen again, he cant manage the big litter box anymore. Time for something on the floor for him.

I want to actually finish a craft project today haha. Have to be a bit less ambitious I think. Finished the MAFS catch up so will probably watch some broadcasting today. Keep the energy low to flow.

Thank you
It's snowing and my cousin is getting married today, first snow of the year!

It'll probably turn to rain by the time of the wedding but still, that's a fun start to their day.

That's great! You going?
Busy busy busy! I did a whole heck of a lot today, started my next big art project, and came up with a great idea for the next one after. I’ve been really productive here lately, and I’m enjoying the energy boost a lot. 🙂
 
Oh I need some of that focus Plasma! Haha. I have about 8 crochet projects on the go...

We have some rain!! Its awesome! Its still very warm but I hope this rain makes the garden happy.

So happy that I stayed inside today. Just sitting here eating scrambled eggs and watching YouTube.

I was going to make some little quiche muffin/egg cups for the week and was wondering if my jar of pickles would be nice chopped up in them... I still haven't decided. If I put pickles and onions in them it means I cant share with the dogs 🐶
 
Well that was a long day, it took me ages to find the venue, took the wrong turn more than once!

I'm so glad I bought a sandwich at the garage when I got diesel, as it was pizzas at 9pm, which was a long time after I had lunch!

Thankfully most of the family wasn't there, and I just hung out with the kids, and immediate family. There was a few rather competitive games of table football in the next room, I'm useless at it, not enough coordination.
 
Last night's dance at the Old Mill was pretty good. They only played three bachata numbers all night but other than that, I was pretty much dancing the night away after a dinner at Swiss Chalet that left me heavier than I was at any time last month. If I consider dancing to be a hit parade, I met a new dancer, Anne, but I danced with Trisha and Sarina each once but did most of the dancing with Theresa and Lydia. Lydia is rapidly moving up my hit parade and joins the select company of Girls I Would Take As A Gift. She is this very nice Bulgarian girl, good-looking and a good dancer and she has her own home where she rents out the basement to three students who each pay $1200 a month for the privilege. At the beginning of last September, I had no idea the dance circuit existed and although only about 20% of last night was Latin dance, I could manage on the dance floor without too much trouble.

The Old Mill is a very upscale venue that has been used for a lot of celebrations and weddings and receptions. I got a laugh at one of their displays in a little glassed-off section that had a typical place setting and a sign in beautiful calligraphy that said:

Marriage

When dating goes too far.

It's always nice to see a recognition of reality in a place that caters to that reality.
 
Was a nice day today. Both dogs had a decent walk. Only ran into one rouge dog but got away by cutting through the sports club. It was super quiet around town, its a long weekend so I assume many people were away.

Played in the garden, picked some strawberries and pears. A silly wattle bird got stuck in the orchard so it took me some time to get it to figure out how to fly out from under the netting. Its very holey netting but the bird obviously couldn't remember how it got in.

Watered the garden and was surprised to see pumpkin seeds sprouting. I only chucked them in the yard after making soup last week, I didn't expect them to grow! Especially so soon.

Easy dinner for me, the bunnies and dogs got some sliced pear with dinner. Good tv for the night with lots of bunny snuggles and chats. Only went to bed now because Harmony demanded it. That dog rules the roost and runs on routine! Nighty night.
 
I hand washed my truck today. It's a labour love and he really appreciates it. Seriously, "inanimate" objects do have a certain energy around them. I'm sure that they're "alive" in some way that we don't comprehend. I really do believe this. And no, I'm not completely high. 😄

Anyway, my mission today was to obtain dark chocolate truffles. Mission accomplished!! One more thing....its SO amusing when drivers in brand new cars see the front end of my truck. The chrome grille is loose, so I secured it with silver duct tape. Oh, and the turn signal is smashed...and maybe there's a few noticeable cracks in the grille. 😇

Yeah, the aforementioned drivers in their brand new cars are probably thinking, "This bitch has nothing to lose. She can have the right of way." 😅
 
Started a petition to get rid of an embarrassing anachronistic clause in New Zealand's Summary Offences Act 1981 which effectively criminalises fortune telling. It's moribund, no-one ever gets prosecuted over it, so it's time to scrub it from our statute books.

Also watching the 1994 version of The Stand, which is far better than the crappy, disjointed 2020 remake.

Here in the UK, they went through and cleaned out a bunch of old laws that were no longer relevant several times over the years. I have a feeling that London taxi drivers were still required to have a bale of hay on their cabs until the 70s.
There was a law that pubs had to have tie rails and water for horses in this state. It sorta worked because the network of country pubs are mostly owned by people in the pacing industry. Riding to a pub was certainly not unheard of. I think they did scrap the law, but my local still has stables.


My hair is a mess. All of the hot weather, having to wash it so often, has completely dried it out. Its snapping with the weight of it and full frizz. I figured out how to braid it so it stays put all day but its almost too short for that so my shadow looks like pippy long stocking when I go walking. Now I rekon I will grow it out so that the braids sit better. Its far more balanced for my neck in braids. I know I have some old horse hot oil in the shed... I wonder how that would go on it?
 
The girl I was talking to and I decided to call it quits. She can’t drive, lives way too far, and our interests just don’t quite line up. Oh, well. Maybe next time! 🙂 Think I’m going to take a page from @nightshade ‘s book and just stop looking. Read and enjoy myself without worrying about a relationship I don’t really want/am not ready for.

Other than that, I’ve been having a really good time lately. 🙂 My artwork is taking a bigger role in my life and I couldn’t be happier with how it’s looking. I’m working on a large project to hang on my wall in a specific place, and it’s looking gorgeous so far. I have tons of cool artsy ideas and am really just trying to get things back together! It’s nice to focus on myself and myself alone again ❤️ I forgot how cool I was
 
Finally got my tickets for The Breeders so it was a good day 🙂
Hope they still play the Buffy theme at their gigs

 
I had some escaped inmate from Arkham Asylum say I was some secret stalker that has been following them for years.

I literally just talked to this person to buy a Pokemon game, which I was willing to pay extra for. 😂

Needless to say my business deal fell through.
 
It went, as days are wont to do. Someone rolled up to my door about an hour ago now. In the dark, in an inner city, in the U.S., holding like $1000 in tech in their hands openly.

I am legitimately impressed they hadn't been robbed. They tried to give me a phone. No one gives that kinda thing away for free and no you random person I've never seen before in life you cannot have my information for a thing. What you can do is go away. I wasn't born yesterday.

It ended peaceably with no issues.
 
Nice lazy Saturday today. Good long walkies with the dogs, mowed the lawn, did some weeding, washed some dishes, had a nap. Watched a doco in between it all which had a surprisingly validating affect. Waiting for a grocery order now and then will start on cooking up some bulk freezer meals.
