i planted about 20 flowers. i hope the rain yesterday didn't push my seeds around.

dastardly rabbits ate my middle peony.

surely this is a euphemism

i accomplished gaining 7 lbs so i did some running today and i promise not to eat so much this week

impressed?

depends on the jarbl

i accomplished getting laid off at the end of the month. looking forward to not working from home.

my company won’t pay for my unused vacation time so I will be not working from home tomorrow through may 28. My last day is may 29.

this sucks, t.

ffs

what the fuck. i'm so sorry.

At least I won’t be doing work for them (mostly, I will have a hard time not working especially when so much needs to be done). The whole situation is lacking in logic but alas this is where we are and I’m ready for it to be over.

sorry to hear this tehresa

increased alcohol tolerance

same

we trained for this.

nuking my few remaining relationships from orbit

mookieproof

i haven't been all that successful at losing any pounds but i'm not sure i'd like to try this diet

it's not for the weak of heart, so to speak

mooks <3

i have completed the nyt crossword puzzle each day since mid-march

i visited lancaster county for the first time and bought some delicata squash and large sweet potatoes (and tomatoes for canning)

i am eating the delicata squash and thinking of the time we made dinner on the island and my contribution was delicata squash. i need lxy's lentil recipe.

a) did you pronounce lancaster correctly
b) please send me some tomatoes. please. really

i did not say lancaster out loud to anyone. i gotta see how many jars i will get--i'm trying to cook these down a lot so it may not be many! also i keep trying to think about how best to mail jars. it's risky.

I worked from home from the second week of march, 2020 through the first week of September, 2021.
I worked from work from the second week of September, 2021 through the last week of December, 2021.
I have not worked from anywhere since the first week of January, 2022 and I will not work anywhere ever again.
thank you, generous state pension!

during WFH I got into cooking and sewing. I am now very good and confident at cooking beans, which was not previously the case, and I am proficient at sewing this one dress pattern that I have adapted in a bunch of different ways. I made my wedding dress out of it. oh yeah, jergins and I got married.

after I retired I canned some stuff I made from our vast persimmon harvest (chutney and jam). I am now eating persimmon jam with a spoon out of a jar I just opened. I hope I don't get botulism. I am a nervous canner and I don't know how to tell if something I canned is poisonous other than to eat it and hope I don't die.

I am using a laptop that capitalizes some words but not others, and it's very annoying.

neither retirement nor marriage have made me any less irritable, you will be delighted to learn.

congratulations <3

i didn’t get botulism, btw

i have now been unemployed for one (1) year

mookie, i hope you are okay, friend.

omg lxy that's incredible. i have also been sewing. not canning as much but i like canning too.
