I got to go to a glass workshop and create stuff from melted glass. Those furnaces are really loud and hot. It's like looking into a void of hell. I never did that before and it was kind of cool!
last night was the first time in I can't remember how long when I was actually able to stay asleep and not wake up multiple times in the night. I actually feel a little refreshed today, still a little tired but that's okay
also taking some more stuff to goodwill today, feels so nice to just get rid of junk/clutter.
Glad you were able to get rested! I don't have it happen always, but when it does (especially when work is the next day and I need to get up at 3am it's a horrible feeling)
It's always great to declutter. Last year during covid (and after long work shifts) I just got so fed up with how much of a catch all that my basement had become by me and people just jettisoning their crap in my house that I started to throw away, destroy, and put stuff out on my yard for free. It was so surprising that people were picking up half pieces of furniture sets. It's still not up to my standards yet, but there's so much room to move. I know that feeling and good job being able to send it somewhere for someone to use!
I actually went to a place like the Good Will to search and buy some VHS tapes for a project I am working on. Not for collecting. I didn't expect them to have any, but they had a few.
my family went shopping so i had a few hours of quiet time ^^ also i made plans to meet up with a friend i haven't seen in over a year :3
Always great to be able to recharge your batteries! And I hope you had a great time with your friend! Covid and just overall how crazy it has been these past 2 years has made common and daily plans/activities seem so out of the norm.
@Alienfish and
@hakutaku Those meals sound amazing. I mean it doesn't take much with me for food as it is anyway, but they still sound super great. I haven't had it recently, but my great something ancestor had an old recipe (someone in my family has the original card) for sour beef and dumplings. The entire process takes like 8 hours lol, but the stuff tastes really darn good.
Had a great time at work and had Greek food for dinner again! Also slept well too.
That sounds awesome! What was the Greek dish? I went to a diner recently that had some Greek meals on their menu. Like one of them was potato crusted salmon. I don't know if that is Greek or not, but they claimed it to be. It sounded pretty good, but was way too expensive for my poor butt blood lol. Glad you had a good time and meal!
⬥ I was scheduled to be off next Saturday, but someone couldn’t work and I picked up their shift. They are letting me work instead. I’m happy to come in for the money.
Hey getting an extra heavy paycheck is always a bonus. I know sometimes I would rather have off to do stuff that needs getting done or that I want to do, but those overtime paychecks are hard to resist sometimes lol.
@Dunquixote That sounds really good! Was it a pegged pie or did it have a crumb topping? I made a few blueberry and apple pies from the trees and bushes I picked from this year. Picking blueberries can be such a time consuming pain though because they don't exactly all ripen at the same time so you have to go back every day or so to get the remainder. And there are like thousands on each bush lol.
Glad you've been having good moments and some tasty desserts!
@xara Do you just like conk out on the keyboard before typing? (I'm kidding) I didn't know that McDonald's had donuts. Is that a new thing? I haven't been there in a while. I kind of want to try them just to experiment and see how good they are. I'm glad your cat is doing better! I actually didn't know anything was wrong, but regardless that they are recovering from whatever is good news still! I'm sorry you and your cat had to go through that.
☾ Had a small birthday party for my mom today! She wanted to keep it a pretty much normal day, but she did want to binge-watch some more One Piece! We're not quite caught up with where the anime's currently at yet, but the end is finally in sight—only about 20 episodes to go. I think I'm gonna try to talk my parents into watching some more over the coming days and try to get us caught up before too many more episodes air, hehe.
That's really cool that you have that kind of hobby you can share with your mom! I do that a lot with my sister, except it's with the Marvel movies whenever they come out.
