One of my old coworkers is an Ethiopian man. He came in one day with this spiced ragu pasta thing that his wife made for him. He went into the break room to go and heat it up and I swear I was like a cartoon dad smelling a pie on the windowsill.
I begged for weeks to get that recipe from him. It smelt so good.
You would probably struggle to make it. I was married to Ethiopian guy for a while, and cooking was a whole thing. To make lentils, I throw it in the instapot. For him to make lentils? 4 hours of moving a spoon around in a pot. But, oh my gosh. The flavor!
You use your hands(right hand) and they have this flatbread-y pancake called injera that you use to get the food into your mouth Vegos try shira wat meat eaters try DEREK TIBS
Lord have mercy! Christ have mercy! Lord have mercy! Christ have mercy! Oh loving father, we ask you to bless this loving father during this difficult and scary season. Please grant the wisdom and patience needed to the doctors and his nursing staff. Heal and restore him, Lord! In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen
It was a quiet cold day here with snow flurries at one point. I cleaned house and then sat with 4 dogs while looking at the Christmas tree. Very peaceful.
Had to get up at 5:30 so I could spend 7 hours at my daughters volleyball tournament. Get to do it again tomorrow. She had fun, so I guess it was worth it. Now I'm gonna finish "All Quiet on the Western Front" on Netflix.
Technically, I think we are doing the same things, but as I live in a 150 year old house and it is -8 degrees Fahrenheit outdoors here, I view it as thoroughly enjoying my warm, luxuriously soft blankets while reading a variety of interesting topics.
I'm not sick, but I'm currently in sweatpants on my bed. Wanna know why? Because I can do that tonight. No plans. No places to be. Just comfy clothes and scrolling movies. These are beautiful nights!
It’s so cold here, with 5-6 inches of snow on the ground. I’ve been cleaning the house a bit, working on a drawing, baking cookies, and now I’m roasting a chicken for dinner.
Am home sick and in pain and cant leave the house every night. I put some decorations on my pink aluminum christmas tree. Im eating RSO. Im watching TV but not really lol
Thank you. I hope you feel better, too. It is 0 degrees outside right now. I am just bundled up and my freezing nose is the only thing sticking out. LOL! 😂 My heater just can’t keep up. I was going to try to get groceries and some Mucinex-D today, but the high temperature today will be 8 degrees, and the low will be -5 degrees. So, I am staying in, and I am thinking of some hot cocoa in a little while. May you feel much better today!
Eating the red beans and rice I made earlier today and watching the dog chew on a new bone. Middle age might not be all that exciting but I do wake up knowing where my pants are, so that’s something.
Spent the day at my elderly parents and helped clean out the extra garage - it’s a process. Then went and grabbed Taco Bell, I’m learning how to crochet. Taking a break and also am playing Fallout 76, hanging out by snoring doggos - they get tired after playing at grandmas . Hubs is playing his video games; think it’s Starship Troopers.
Repeatedly sticking a meat thermometer in a pork shoulder in the crockpot to see if it's done. It's kind of swamped in onions and OJ concentrate, and smeared with ginger, garlic, chili crisp, and smoked paprika. It smells phenomenal!
Today I took the bus downtown and went searching for money in the freezing cold. No, literally. This guy does a giveaway twice a week in Chicago where he takes a video of a random location, puts money there and posts it on Instagram. You have to figure out where it is based on the background and go look for it. By the time I got there, there were people looking but it was already gone. I spent a good 20 minutes looking through the snow hoping I could spot it lol.
I came home, did the dishes and now I’m going to watch some movies/shows while eating glazed donuts. I’m kind of obsessed with watching things on Netflix, Amazon prime or bootleg websites lol. I watch TV pretty much every day, far more than the average person.
The level of adult where you're sick but still do a bit of cleaning is wild to me. It's winter so I'm settling into my depression, I'll do the dishes in spring. Tonight I've been having a few tinnies and cuddling with my dog.
I went to the comic book store for the first time in ten years to restart a collection! It was amazing and I can see how easily I can slip down a lot of different story paths!
Now I’m gonna read and have Bobs Burgers on in the background while my husband plays PC games. We’re old!
I went to my Aqua Arthritis class this morning in the 94 degree pool-it was wonderful. Then, I went to lunch with a girlfriend. Tonight, my husband and I are relaxing, reading, and watching tv. We’re retired, so we can do whatever we want😊
I'm spending the weekend at Dad's. He's making chicken sandwiches in his air fryer for dinner. I had a dream about them a couple days ago. The craving is strong.
We have little ones that come over the weekend before Christmas to do presents and see the local parade. I stayed home from the parade to play Santa. Set up the presents and stockings. (Avoid standing in 20°F for over an hour)
Now I’m heating up some of the pizza they ordered and scuttling back to my bed before any of the kids can see the imposter Santa.
I had surgery on Thursday, but decided to venture out to a couple of stores earlier with my 4 year old. Ended up buying her a bunch of clothes. Came home, ate something and I was pretty exhausted from our outing that I fell asleep. Almost missed a call that my other kids were being dropped off by their aunt 😅
It's stupid cold here, so I spent the afternoon making chicken and dumplings. The house smells amazing! Now I'm having a beer while I watch the news, then I'm going to make a homemade pizza and watch Stranger Things with the hubs. 🍻
Well woke up hungover and sad because i'm going through a break up and am currently at an 8 hour shift working a birthday party. THEN I'm gonna get off and try to go to 5 different birthday parties that are all happening tonight that I am not working and are just for fun and try to make it to downtown all before 11 and hopefully not seeing my newly turned ex!!
Also - last night my roommates and I filmed a stupid tik tok and posted it and it has over 100k views and everyone is leaving hate comments 😭
Baking cookies and watching movies!! This weekend and last weekend are some of my favorites. I absolutely love to bake. I love the flavors of the cookies I bake this time of year. My fridge is packed right now. Tomorrow evening, I'll box them all up to give out this week. Just like I did last week..
Also sick. Taking meds, watching tv, napping lots, hot baths x3, Pokémongo without the go, eating Italian penicillin soup and crackers. What I’ve watched today: the mask on Netflix (rip Peter Greene), explore with us on YouTube, it’s Florida Man on hbo max, now in the volcano episode of violent earth, also hbo max. I feel like shit but it’s overall cozy.
I cleaned my car, folded some laundry, went for a walk. Currently just lying on my couch watching the Abandons on Netflix. Was thinking on going for a little drive in my new car.
Went to the Christmas market! Had breakfast! Hit the rest of the Christmas market. Went to the condo association Christmas party. Now home considering a bourbon.
Home sick. We are missing my husband’s work Christmas party. I will watch movies and drink hot tea. He is playing a video game with his brother. Sometimes, rest is best.
I took my kid to lunch with our friends and then we all went to a playground. We had dinner with my parents and now he’s playing a game while I read and scroll on the couch under a fluffy blanket.
We took the dogs for a hike today, then went to an open house at a state park near our house. Now we’re hanging out at home and we’re going to make homemade pizza for dinner!
I was supposed to get on a bus home from my partner's house, but it's snowing like crazy so my trip was canceled. Back to my partner's cozy cabin in the woods for the night!
I kinda winged dinner by make green onion bacon and cheddar cheese pasta.. never made it before but o had to cook up bacon and o dodnt want to make a breakfast meal. Kinda taste like scalloped taters but with rotini noodles. Its alright lol
Took a ride to a nicer shopping mall about an hour away. Took a meander through, it was nicely decorated for the holidays. Drove home and then made dinner together. Shortly we will watch a movie. Not super exciting but fun!
It’s a cold night 3°, staying cozy at home with the hubs and dogs. I think it’s time to have some hot cocoa and watch some Christmas movies. Any suggestions?
Sat out back with some code and fruit and my phone for a while this morning, put lights on the tree, did some Christmas decorating, made some instapot ribs, corn, and sweet potato casserole, helped my mom put up her tree, played on my phone for a bit.
Watched the new Rian Johnson movie (incredible) and then most of AEW Collision (had to stop because my kid had to go to work so the rest will wait until the morning). Made lemon roasted potatoes and ham for supper. It’s been a solid day actually except for the fact I have laryngitis!
It was my Birthday today. I celebrated at Seasons 52 with my two adult sons. I had 2 Bellinis, chipotle shrimp flatbread + a side of grilled lobster on a stick and we shared the artichoke hearts and humus and the roasted cauliflower. Everything was super delicious! Tonight, I plan to stream the new Netflix Knives Out Movie, Wake Up Dead Man . This has been a perfect day. The best part was my dog, a Westie, running to greet me when I got home. We did a lot of hugging and kissing on the couch, which is our routine whenever I’m gone more than an hour (this time 3 hours!)
Went on a Christmas train with my hubby and 1.5 year old. He had an interesting time, mostly wanted to look outside than say hi to Santa or anyone else in costume lol
We’ve had a bit of a snow storm here today, and the roads are horrible, so I’m not going anywhere. I just made some burgers and potato wedges, and I’m eating that, scrolling Reddit, and listening to Black Sabbath. Pretty decent evening.
Gave my dog’s hair a trim and bathed him, and now he’s all fluffy again! So now it’s time to finish cooking dinner and then I can cuddle this fluffball ☺️ I hope you feel better soon OP!
It was unseasonably warm today so I mowed the last of the leaves and got the Outback washed. Also had an almond croissant cookie that we’re testing for Christmas.
It got up in the 60s here today, so the dog got a much-needed bath and my SO and I spread mulch in the garden. I made one of our favorite instant pot recipes.
I'm a belly dancer and I had a performance today at a dance showcase. I was running a bit late and my performance was a freestyle but I'm ultimately happy with my performance. I can't wait to see the footage once it's released. I hope you feel better. Get well soon 💜✨️
Lol, I have prepped a roast chicken meal, which I'm taking to my daughter's. She and her husband are going to his work xmas do, so we've got the kids for the evening. I imagine this will include a walk to the park, playing, and ice cream. Then bath and storytime, and hopefully, they'll go to sleep!
We're watching Midsomer Murders and soon we'll have a turkey breast dinner (with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce). We didn't have turkey at Thanksgiving, so we're having it tonight. I hope you feel better soon!
Couldn't finish all the work I had this week so I decided to work on my free Saturday. I worked until late and still didn't finish🥲 Now enjoying a late night cold beer to forget about my job, the endless requests and excel sheets for a couple of hours.
Cures cold, flu, sinus infection and bronchitis within a couple of hours
1 tablespoon cut dried seedless rose hips, 8 to 10 whole allspice coarsely crushed (must have allspice to work), 1 star anise. Bring 2 cups water to boil. Add the above
Cover and steep 15 minutes. Strain. Add a few drops vanilla, and honey to taste. P.S. only drink this when sick, not all the time as that much allspice is not good for you to have often. Once should cure you. A second batch if not completely well the next day, but if it hasn't worked by then, it won't for the kind of virus you have.
Getting divorced and my wife’s family threatened my life. So currently sitting at home barricaded waiting for Monday to speak to a lawyer. So watching Game of Thrones and drinking. Probably Halo later.
Oooo, laying in my younger kid’s room right now until bedtime. Then I’ll play some PC games either with or alongside my oldest. Until SNL comes on, then I’ll watch that.
Was going to go to a holiday market, but misjudged the end time. Instead, I stopped in a coffee shop, and I'm really enjoying a decaf americano. When I get home, I'm taking a long shower
It's snowing here, a lot, and our Christmas lights outside look so beautiful. I've been baking nut rolls and lady locks while listening to the Astonishing Legends podcast about the Patterson Gimlen bigfoot film.
It’s supposed to snow tonight, so we did chores today. We went grocery shopping and picked up the dry cleaning. Now it is laundry and watching tv. Feel better soon.
We're finally putting up our Christmas trees and I'm not pulling out the full house decor of Christmas decorations, but about half of it. We're going on a trip in the latter part of the holidays, so don't want to deal with having to put too many things up and too many things away. This is the first time we haven't put our decorations on Thanksgiving weekend, but we hosted both sides of the family and we were exhausted.
My husband and I went to Noodles and Company for dinner, and now we're at our friends' house getting ready for a night of Vampire: The Masquerade. I'm pretty stoked.
I tried going outside to prepare for the oil men coming on Wednesday. They will need to use a path behind the house. It’s on the north side and mostly snow covered now.
The snow isn’t as icy as it was a couple of days ago. But it’s still mostly frozen so I tried stomping on it. To no avail. I put a small amount of ice melt pellets on the pathway.
That was after my neighbor wanted to talk. She’s been having some issues and wanted to ventilate. I stood, bent at the waist listening. It was a while. My neck is sore now. My lower back felt weird, too. But she needs a person to talk with.
Mostly, I wanted to walk a couple of holiday cards to the post office. It was way too cold, with the wind, to walk there. And there were very light flurries, while we chatted.
So I came back into the house and got on to cooking the potatoes, after a nice hot cup of herbal tea.
I like to have sliced, cooked potatoes ready during the winter holidays. It’s so marvelous to have them ready for shot breakfast with eggs, butter, salt, and pepper.
This week, I swept under the oil tank, in the basement. Lots of loose mortar falls from the fieldstone foundation. It’s an old house. The men are coming on Wednesday to replace the legs on the oil tank.
After they do the job, which will include preventing future rusting, I’ll call for an oil delivery. It’s been cold. They had to pause deliveries so the tank isn’t too heavy while they replace the legs.
I am so looking forward to not worrying about running low on oil.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed at this time of year, when the days are so short. It’s a boost, if I can do something for others. Like listening to my neighbor. My favorite hobby is detrashing. I “patrol” a route and pick up all the trash I find along the sidewalk area. There is less to find, when the gutters are full of consolidated snow, and there’s snow along the side of the sidewalk.
This week, I took the pitchfork and removed as much ice and snow from the sidewalk as I could, on one day. I time this work to follow slightly warmer weather and sunshine, which loosens the ice. The day after, I brought a light shovel. Unfortunately, the snow in one area had re-consolidated so I guess I’ll need the chippy chopper and a shovel next time.
I always get a kick out of thinking what people think, when they see me walking around with tools or picking up trash. Some people thank me, which is very motivating.
So I don’t really go out after dark in the cold weather. I did two loads of laundry, too.
It’s so gorgeous to have a totally free day. No appointments, no meetings. I went down my to do list and enjoyed it. I’m fortunate, despite aches and pains, flaws here and there.

Had Ethiopian food for the first time. INCREDIBLE
One of my old coworkers is an Ethiopian man. He came in one day with this spiced ragu pasta thing that his wife made for him. He went into the break room to go and heat it up and I swear I was like a cartoon dad smelling a pie on the windowsill.
I begged for weeks to get that recipe from him. It smelt so good.
I never got it. 😔
You would probably struggle to make it. I was married to Ethiopian guy for a while, and cooking was a whole thing. To make lentils, I throw it in the instapot. For him to make lentils? 4 hours of moving a spoon around in a pot. But, oh my gosh. The flavor!
I've never tried Ethiopian food, I'll have to put it on my list
Had Ethiopian food for the first time. It was sooooooooooooo good. Surprisingly good. Took the chefs recommendation. Lots of vegetarian options
I've never tried it either, but reading these comments has me very interested!! I would love to try it!! ❤︎
You use your hands(right hand) and they have this flatbread-y pancake called injera that you use to get the food into your mouth Vegos try shira wat meat eaters try DEREK TIBS
As an Ethiopian, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! What did you try out?
I’m going to find the name!
I love the bread!
Next you should try Eritrean food, its so good
Gotta find a restaurant and I’m all for it!
They're similar, that same tasty bread and slow cooked stews but different spice blends. Hope you find one near you!
Definitely going to check. Appreciate the recommendation
I JUST saw a post on how someone just had Ethiopian food for the first time and couldn't get over how delicious it was.

It was a quiet cold day here with snow flurries at one point. I cleaned house and then sat with 4 dogs while looking at the Christmas tree. Very peaceful.
My dream is to see snow!!!
With all the snow we’ve had in Michigan wish I could send you some 😅
It would be amazing to have snow here in South America <3
That sounds wonderful.
Watching the Home Alone movies.
Still hungover (it’s Sunday morning here) waiting for dirty junk food to be delivered
Had to get up at 5:30 so I could spend 7 hours at my daughters volleyball tournament. Get to do it again tomorrow. She had fun, so I guess it was worth it. Now I'm gonna finish "All Quiet on the Western Front" on Netflix.
doomscrolling and bedrotting

I'm folding laundry. I'm going to finish decorating the tree. I'm listening to my depressing Christmas playlist on YouTube.
Here is a not so depressing playlist: https://youtube.com/@susrecordsceo?si=SAUG8rKee5ek-ISr
I haven't made my depressing Christmas list yet
I made this a couple years ago and add to it. Helps with the melancholy.

Please drink some water!
I have a math exam that I’m studying for
Good luck!
Thank you!

Your dinner sounds like a right joy for a winters night! Not too heavy but still includes the necessary cheese!
Big Bang Theory is a modern great too, although I’m not entirely convinced by Young Sheldon and that other spinoff about Georgie
[deleted]
Did i just read that right? what kind of metaverse are they trying to create‽ Even Cheers knew enough not to milk the spinoffs
[deleted]
Am home sick and in pain and cant leave the house every night. I put some decorations on my pink aluminum christmas tree. Im eating RSO. Im watching TV but not really lol
I’m sick, too. I had soup (vegetable) made by Campbells. What is RSO?
Rick Simpson oil. Its an edible. ❤ hope u feel better

We went to see Christmas lights at Knoebels. Now we're headed home to chill with our animals.

I’m home sick too!
We have little ones that come over the weekend before Christmas to do presents and see the local parade. I stayed home from the parade to play Santa. Set up the presents and stockings. (Avoid standing in 20°F for over an hour)
Now I’m heating up some of the pizza they ordered and scuttling back to my bed before any of the kids can see the imposter Santa.
Watching John Cena final match
What are you sick with?
It’s like -40c here today so I’ve been inside all day watching breaking bad snuggled under blankets on the couch.
Rotting on my couch alone . Debating if I should go to my new jobs Christmas’s party tonight. ( I don’t want to go alone )
My wife is going out to a show this evening so I'm going to watch horror movies (she doesn't like them) and eat pizza. Maybe have a couple of beers.
Just probably gonna sit around anxiously waiting for bed time. So I can sit in bed waiting anxiously to fall asleep. 🥲
15 hours at work, home and a bit of TV and I'm currently lying in bed. The quintessential rock and roll lifestyle.
Went to a local German Christmas market that turned out to be quite nice.
I had surgery on Thursday, but decided to venture out to a couple of stores earlier with my 4 year old. Ended up buying her a bunch of clothes. Came home, ate something and I was pretty exhausted from our outing that I fell asleep. Almost missed a call that my other kids were being dropped off by their aunt 😅
We're sitting in front of our fireplace watching Christmas movies!🥰🎄❤️
Nothing, I worked all day and my head hurts. The holidays are rough when you work in hospitality.
It's stupid cold here, so I spent the afternoon making chicken and dumplings. The house smells amazing! Now I'm having a beer while I watch the news, then I'm going to make a homemade pizza and watch Stranger Things with the hubs. 🍻
Hope you start feeling better soon!🙏
Our annual Christmas house party
Laying in bed listening to the wind outside & a meditation app playing in background 😌
Also sick. Was planning to go listen to jazz.
Well woke up hungover and sad because i'm going through a break up and am currently at an 8 hour shift working a birthday party. THEN I'm gonna get off and try to go to 5 different birthday parties that are all happening tonight that I am not working and are just for fun and try to make it to downtown all before 11 and hopefully not seeing my newly turned ex!!
Also - last night my roommates and I filmed a stupid tik tok and posted it and it has over 100k views and everyone is leaving hate comments 😭
I live in a small town. We had the town’s Christmas celebration. Food trucks, kids singing, decorations. It was nice.
Baking cookies and watching movies!! This weekend and last weekend are some of my favorites. I absolutely love to bake. I love the flavors of the cookies I bake this time of year. My fridge is packed right now. Tomorrow evening, I'll box them all up to give out this week. Just like I did last week..
Best day ever!!
Watching YouTube videos
Also sick. Taking meds, watching tv, napping lots, hot baths x3, Pokémongo without the go, eating Italian penicillin soup and crackers. What I’ve watched today: the mask on Netflix (rip Peter Greene), explore with us on YouTube, it’s Florida Man on hbo max, now in the volcano episode of violent earth, also hbo max. I feel like shit but it’s overall cozy.
I cleaned my car, folded some laundry, went for a walk. Currently just lying on my couch watching the Abandons on Netflix. Was thinking on going for a little drive in my new car.

Getting over a breakup singing "Plate Glass Apology" while I drove home and time to watch extended edition LoTR with weed
Made a plate with blueberries, Kiwi slices and walnuts for a nosh while I scroll.
Home sick. We are missing my husband’s work Christmas party. I will watch movies and drink hot tea. He is playing a video game with his brother. Sometimes, rest is best.
About to walk the dog. Then I am going to change into pyjamas and watch true crime on YouTube and airfry snackies!
I'm working on a marketing campaign.
Fixing up the antique dresser I bought from a garage sale and stuffing my face full of molasses cookies

Sat out back with some code and fruit and my phone for a while this morning, put lights on the tree, did some Christmas decorating, made some instapot ribs, corn, and sweet potato casserole, helped my mom put up her tree, played on my phone for a bit.
It is bedtime and I am going to bed.
Earlier I went Christmas gift shopping with my partner.
We went out to dinner for my oldest's birthday. It was pretty chill. We're home watching some Christmas stuff now.
Watched the new Rian Johnson movie (incredible) and then most of AEW Collision (had to stop because my kid had to go to work so the rest will wait until the morning). Made lemon roasted potatoes and ham for supper. It’s been a solid day actually except for the fact I have laryngitis!
Decorating the tree
Day 3 of man-cold
It was my Birthday today. I celebrated at Seasons 52 with my two adult sons. I had 2 Bellinis, chipotle shrimp flatbread + a side of grilled lobster on a stick and we shared the artichoke hearts and humus and the roasted cauliflower. Everything was super delicious! Tonight, I plan to stream the new Netflix Knives Out Movie, Wake Up Dead Man . This has been a perfect day. The best part was my dog, a Westie, running to greet me when I got home. We did a lot of hugging and kissing on the couch, which is our routine whenever I’m gone more than an hour (this time 3 hours!)
Went on a Christmas train with my hubby and 1.5 year old. He had an interesting time, mostly wanted to look outside than say hi to Santa or anyone else in costume lol
4 beers with fish and chips😅❤️
Watching Christmas movies with my kids and decorating the tree.
Volunteering at the concessions stand at my kids' school basketball game. Party on!
We’ve had a bit of a snow storm here today, and the roads are horrible, so I’m not going anywhere. I just made some burgers and potato wedges, and I’m eating that, scrolling Reddit, and listening to Black Sabbath. Pretty decent evening.
Playing expedition 33 or reading
Watching kdrama
Groceries, library, Greek food, home to decorate Xmas tree...reddit.
Im going to sit outside and watch the meteor shower while sipping some wine.
Husband's company's Christmas party.. foods ok. Company is ok. Alcohol is freeeeee!
Baking and drinking. It’s pouring snow.
Gave my dog’s hair a trim and bathed him, and now he’s all fluffy again! So now it’s time to finish cooking dinner and then I can cuddle this fluffball ☺️ I hope you feel better soon OP!
eating pizza and wings - im pretty happy about it because its a nice break from studying for finals week. Final exam is next wednesday !
It was unseasonably warm today so I mowed the last of the leaves and got the Outback washed. Also had an almond croissant cookie that we’re testing for Christmas.
It got up in the 60s here today, so the dog got a much-needed bath and my SO and I spread mulch in the garden. I made one of our favorite instant pot recipes.
Ate Korean bbq and washed and waxed my WRX. Won’t let me post a pic here
Gonna watch John Cenas last match, then head to a party
Had my in laws over today, now getting sushi take out soon, and going to watch Harry Potter with my husband!
Playing video games and listening to The Bible
Working a night shift on a rail track.
I finished painting our master bedroom a lovely color (Benjamin Moore Taro and no, that is not a product placement…just the lovely color).
We played in the snow with our dogs (we have ten chihuahuas).
And now I’m hanging with them in our den watching “Paranormal Caught on Camera”.
I also got some ATF cannabis today for my pain.
So, so not exciting 🤣
I just googled that colour. It's absolutely gorgeous. Your bedroom must look like the coziest yet glamorous space now
Cozy, toasty, incense burning, beverage in hand, on Reddit :/
Xmas shopping....
I just ate some ghost pepper peanuts and my heartburn is activated ❤️🔥. Deep regerts
Lemon ginger tea with a dash of cinnamon and some honey...
I'm a belly dancer and I had a performance today at a dance showcase. I was running a bit late and my performance was a freestyle but I'm ultimately happy with my performance. I can't wait to see the footage once it's released. I hope you feel better. Get well soon 💜✨️
Lol, I have prepped a roast chicken meal, which I'm taking to my daughter's. She and her husband are going to his work xmas do, so we've got the kids for the evening. I imagine this will include a walk to the park, playing, and ice cream. Then bath and storytime, and hopefully, they'll go to sleep!
We're watching Midsomer Murders and soon we'll have a turkey breast dinner (with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce). We didn't have turkey at Thanksgiving, so we're having it tonight. I hope you feel better soon!
Getting ready to go to work tomorrow when the high is going to be 7f
Couldn't finish all the work I had this week so I decided to work on my free Saturday. I worked until late and still didn't finish🥲 Now enjoying a late night cold beer to forget about my job, the endless requests and excel sheets for a couple of hours.
Almost midday here and about to start work as a cabbie
Cures cold, flu, sinus infection and bronchitis within a couple of hours 1 tablespoon cut dried seedless rose hips, 8 to 10 whole allspice coarsely crushed (must have allspice to work), 1 star anise. Bring 2 cups water to boil. Add the above Cover and steep 15 minutes. Strain. Add a few drops vanilla, and honey to taste. P.S. only drink this when sick, not all the time as that much allspice is not good for you to have often. Once should cure you. A second batch if not completely well the next day, but if it hasn't worked by then, it won't for the kind of virus you have.
So am not doing anything exciting right now but having a martini. The fun stuff today was getting my visas for Viet Nam, Laos, and Thailand.
Getting divorced and my wife’s family threatened my life. So currently sitting at home barricaded waiting for Monday to speak to a lawyer. So watching Game of Thrones and drinking. Probably Halo later.
Oooo, laying in my younger kid’s room right now until bedtime. Then I’ll play some PC games either with or alongside my oldest. Until SNL comes on, then I’ll watch that.
I didn’t leave the house at all today because it feels like -19°F outside. Netflix, heated blanket, and dog cuddles here!
Gonna watch the new Knives Out
Just finished playing animal crossing (new horizons), and now I'm having a snack (bread with cheese and strawberry juice)
Was going to go to a holiday market, but misjudged the end time. Instead, I stopped in a coffee shop, and I'm really enjoying a decaf americano. When I get home, I'm taking a long shower
watching the IU game and the snow, prepping for chores tomorrow
It's snowing here, a lot, and our Christmas lights outside look so beautiful. I've been baking nut rolls and lady locks while listening to the Astonishing Legends podcast about the Patterson Gimlen bigfoot film.
Just finished making homemade chicken and dumplings for dinner. It’s delicious and we will have leftovers next week.
Tomorrow I am making cookies for my wife’s cookie exchange at school (spritz cookies and pecan crescents) and getting ready for my new job Monday.
Hanging out with my two dogs before I head to bed for an early morning at work tomorrow. They’re sleeping on the couch on either side of me.
It’s supposed to snow tonight, so we did chores today. We went grocery shopping and picked up the dry cleaning. Now it is laundry and watching tv. Feel better soon.
Binging Supernatural because Netflix is dropping it on the 17th.
We're finally putting up our Christmas trees and I'm not pulling out the full house decor of Christmas decorations, but about half of it. We're going on a trip in the latter part of the holidays, so don't want to deal with having to put too many things up and too many things away. This is the first time we haven't put our decorations on Thanksgiving weekend, but we hosted both sides of the family and we were exhausted.
My husband and I went to Noodles and Company for dinner, and now we're at our friends' house getting ready for a night of Vampire: The Masquerade. I'm pretty stoked.
I tried going outside to prepare for the oil men coming on Wednesday. They will need to use a path behind the house. It’s on the north side and mostly snow covered now.
The snow isn’t as icy as it was a couple of days ago. But it’s still mostly frozen so I tried stomping on it. To no avail. I put a small amount of ice melt pellets on the pathway.
That was after my neighbor wanted to talk. She’s been having some issues and wanted to ventilate. I stood, bent at the waist listening. It was a while. My neck is sore now. My lower back felt weird, too. But she needs a person to talk with.
Mostly, I wanted to walk a couple of holiday cards to the post office. It was way too cold, with the wind, to walk there. And there were very light flurries, while we chatted.
So I came back into the house and got on to cooking the potatoes, after a nice hot cup of herbal tea.
I like to have sliced, cooked potatoes ready during the winter holidays. It’s so marvelous to have them ready for shot breakfast with eggs, butter, salt, and pepper.
This week, I swept under the oil tank, in the basement. Lots of loose mortar falls from the fieldstone foundation. It’s an old house. The men are coming on Wednesday to replace the legs on the oil tank.
After they do the job, which will include preventing future rusting, I’ll call for an oil delivery. It’s been cold. They had to pause deliveries so the tank isn’t too heavy while they replace the legs.
I am so looking forward to not worrying about running low on oil.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed at this time of year, when the days are so short. It’s a boost, if I can do something for others. Like listening to my neighbor. My favorite hobby is detrashing. I “patrol” a route and pick up all the trash I find along the sidewalk area. There is less to find, when the gutters are full of consolidated snow, and there’s snow along the side of the sidewalk.
This week, I took the pitchfork and removed as much ice and snow from the sidewalk as I could, on one day. I time this work to follow slightly warmer weather and sunshine, which loosens the ice. The day after, I brought a light shovel. Unfortunately, the snow in one area had re-consolidated so I guess I’ll need the chippy chopper and a shovel next time.
I always get a kick out of thinking what people think, when they see me walking around with tools or picking up trash. Some people thank me, which is very motivating.
So I don’t really go out after dark in the cold weather. I did two loads of laundry, too.
It’s so gorgeous to have a totally free day. No appointments, no meetings. I went down my to do list and enjoyed it. I’m fortunate, despite aches and pains, flaws here and there.
Waiting on my boyfriend to get home to watch Harry Potter 6, eat taco bell, and hang out with our 11 month old son until his bedtime 🤠
We're watching Spinal Tap and Spinal Tap II on HBO
