Air fryer is my new kink!

Making progress on this beast. #Puzzle

We don’t drink.

I got a 3% raise! Woot! I know the price of everything has doubled, so I’m technically still #BrokeAsAJoke, but still. A raise is a raise.

Loud shirt season is back back back!

Mr. K keeps bringing over carloads of stuff. I’m feeling twitchy. But I’m adjusting. He’s being very cautious and asking for guidance. I have 11 closets and half of them are empty. We’ll find a place for everything. The bigger issue is time. Our weekends are booked from now until September, and I need dedicated time to organize things. I’m not sure when that will happen. For now, there are random piles.

Though I’m old and tired, there’s a small part of me that enjoys getting spiffed-up, costumed, and presenting the superhero “genius finance guy” “problem solver” version of myself at the office. When I retire, I will definitely need to do something part-time where I still do this. The trick will be crafting something flexible. I’m pondering options.

My paranoid delusion against having the same network for internet and phone has proven wise. Verizon systems have blinked out locally for reasons unknown. But my Mint home internet is chugging along fine. Mr. K’s kids thought he was dead and were frantically texting me.

I’m still chewing my way through the Catherine the Great biography. Ugh! It’s like 1,000 pages long. It feels like I’ve been reading it forever. Storygraph says I started it on April 27. I’m only like 65% through. It is quite interesting, and it feels like I’m learning about a corner of history that I didn’t know much about. So all good. But I’m definitely going for something super fluff next!

YouTube has decided that I need to learn more about ancient mesoamerican history. And I’m not mad about it.

I got the other window insert installed! This one required lots of help from handy Mr. K. Note the lawnmower shield design. In related news, we didn’t get the house with the 1950s bathroom. Womp! Womp! Even though we offered over asking price, seller went for a cash offer instead. I think My Guardian Angel Susan is telling us to stay put at Nappy Knolls. We have struck out multiple times now.

Also, Mr. K helped me remove my main bathroom door and tuck it away in the bathroom closet. I hate that door, it’s always in the way, and I never close it. I regret not having a pocket door installed instead. Oh well? Removing the door has transformed my life! I don’t have to move it out of my way every time I’m in the bathroom now. If I sell the condo, I’ll simply put it back onto its hinges.

Have you ever been this healthy? In related news. My butt is still in a great mood with the night fiber and probiotic regimen.

Using Mr. K’s air fryer to cook up some ham for a salad. Never before seen technology! Wow!

Like magic, it goes above 80 degrees and all the joint pain in my hands is gone. #NeedToMoveSouth

In my favorite place

Wait? Am I outside?

We had a super fun weekend. But I’m now exhausted. I’m fried and need to read and lay on the couch for a while. I just got back from another thrift store run. I’ve been bringing a carload per week or so, and my house is starting to look like a shinto temple. Clear lines!

Gonna be in the 80s today. Me (and the birds!) are thrilled that the warmth and sun are finally here. But I am gonna start wearing sunblock when I walk. Ain’t nobody got time for a fried face.

I like doing the little birdies first.

Oh for cute!

My hooves hurt! Also summer is here. Wee!

Wow! Lots of French speaking tourists here. Montreal is very close.

We got a lil’ sunburnt. In the middle of winter!

Ghost tour realness!
