I spent the night at Mr. K’s last night. I forgot to turn the thermostat in the bedroom at Nappy Knolls back on today. It’s 55 degrees in my bedroom! Eek! Dead soon! Brr!

My Rosa Parks video is off to a good start. I’m off to bed.

At Taco Bell. As one does.

I made bread. It did not come out right. Ain’t nobody got time for that. I’m headed to Aldi to buy bread!

News I can use!

Getting my morning dose of CO. Yum! Testing out the heater before I put it away, hopefully never to be needed. It gives off a lot of heat! It made the room jump two degrees in just a few minutes. Nappy Knolls isn’t that big. One cylinder lasts about five hours, and I got six to keep with my gear. I also have a cute one burner butane stove with cylinders – the kind that’s in a little metal suitcase – so I can heat up soup in an emergency also. Or even make a grilled cheese! Cut to me being a prepper.

Was melt haul! More pics at post.

Shrinkflation that I’m not mad about! These tiny eight ounce bottles of salad dressing are the perfect size for the rate I go through it. Of course it’s the same price as the old sixteen ounce bottle.

Living room vacuumed and dusted.

3 AM Eternal

Mr. K and I wandered around Barnes & Noble for an hour or so. I love browsing a bookstore. Definitely on my list of dream retirement jobs. I snapped pics of books to add to my wishlist. It made me sad that the science fiction section is so small. It seems to shrink every time I visit. And no, fantasy and scifi are not the same thing. Mr. K is not a reader. But he’s a good sport and poked around with me checking things out.

Aw? Mr. K got me a box of candy for VD Day.

I’ve been a big fan of scifi my whole life. But I cannot imagine ever actually wishing to go into space. I enjoy oxygen and stuff.

The double wall vacuum stainless water bottles are a huge hit! Not only do they keep my drink cold for hours, they also keep the soda stream bubbles fresh with a nice pop-fizz when I open. It’s a big improvement over the plastic ones I was using.

Every time I hear the phrase TikTok Shop, I want to get on my rocket and leave planet earth forever.

Not only did I bring cookies, bout someone left me a cookie on my desk. So it’s gonna be a good day.

I am seriously behind on podcasts. Like 23 hours behind. And I’m not sure why? Winter has got a lot of my routines gone down the turl. All I want to do is sleep and eat. Nothing else is happening. I have no energy and am only surviving at this point.

I’m watching a webinar about Ai whistleblowers and am terrified.

Sometimes I start a book and think, what the hell? This isn’t the book I thought it would be. But then I keep reading. And I slip into the book world and have a delightful, unexpected experience.

Another fun two hour drive home through a blizzard.

Because I’m a paranoid whackjob, I bought this small propane space heater for emergencies. If the power goes out I’d have no heat. I hope to never need it, but I’ll keep it with my gear just in case.

I’m party to yet another class action lawsuit. It’s the only way to make any money in this economy.

My reading list has been updated.

Mr. K broke into my house and left me some cookies from BigM when I had my long day at the Brown Bakery yesterday. Ain’t he cute?

Are you gonna be able to handle my Marilyn Monroe episode?
