well, damn yesterday's wind destroyed my bird feeder i can only fined pieces of it in the yard 😑

what have we here? autonomous flirting? i thought she preferred ladies, but she clearly keeps her options open 😏

made & ate a lil brunch sandwich for us just now bagel (son's was spinach, mine was everything), egg, melted cheddar slice, cream cheese, bacon, spring onion (couldn't find chives), & hot honey not too shabby 😋

this wind is getting on my last nerve our power has flickered off five times so far i am not amused

took advantage of our earlier power outage to clean my keyboard

was planning on jumping straight into sims this morning, but Kylo seems to be in need of cuddles so we’re snuggling on the sofa instead. i think he doesn’t like today’s wind…it’s gusty & loud & he can also hear things hitting the roof.

If you have endless loading on Sims 4 households without any mods, please also send me your saves on the EA Forums. Thanks.

0530 & first power outage of the day 🫤 was only for about a minute. these winds are likely gonna cause more trouble today, i presume.

doing the event took my simself (my test save) out to meet the royal envoy asked about the Darong's was immediately abducted by aliens 👽🛸 what is with my game? 😅😅

it's Friday i have updated my game (sims) i have updated all of my mods as needed i have repaired my game i'm going in pray for me & my railings 😅

came home, tidied kitchen, washed towels, cooked dinner. sat down to watch Untamed. 36 minutes into an episode & someone else decides that it’s time for me to listen to music instead. been waiting for 30 minutes now. i wanna scream.

got home too late too cook, so rotisserie chicken & bagged salad it is. i’m very tired. will watch something in tv then call it a day.

watched an odd movie last night Bugonia with Emma Stone & Jesse Plemons was NOT what i expected little bit violent, lotta bit weird

took a little nap... what did i miss? 🫣

SimsDirect posted an important update for mod users over on X, Discord and Reddit: TL:DR: Your mods will break. Take caution. #Sims4

i opened my back door screen & my bedroom window for about 10 minutes to "lüften" the house & now i can't get my feet to warm up 🥶

i love animals & prefer them more than people, but screw that damned groundhog 😠

good news - they came to empty the binsssss!! 🥳🥳 meh news - Kylo's ear medicine was delivered & they left the gate open. both dogs escaped 🤦‍♀️ (they're back now)

i thought they fixed the black picture thing 🤔 sigh...

when a sim gets this pop-up, are they supposed to play SimScuffle solo or enter a tournament?

today is the 1st & i almost forgot... rabbit rabbit white rabbit

giving myself a round of applause for managing to unfreeze my garbage & recycle bins to drag them across the frozen tundra (aka my my yard & driveway) & out to the gravel road without falling once!! ☺️ fingers crossed that the bin men come tomorrow...it's been two weeks now 😶

happy simming Sunday Duckie is settling in at Foxbury. i decided against downloading new dorms from the gallery & slightly editing the existing ones instead. my one must-have was blocking the windows where others can peek in (i used blinds & tables) & leaving the rest bare to allow light in.

fell asleep on the sofa last night & my son left me there…lights off, tv still on 🫤😂 oh, well…good Sunday morning ❄️ ☀️

last day of Very Veggie Carrot Gen 🥕 Duckie aged up & graduated with honors as the university acceptance letter was being read, it seemed only fitting that Mimosa was abducted one last time 😂🛸

focusing on the positive - had a good night's rest, no work this weekend, my pipes have not frozen, & i have a roof over my head with electricity & heat. time to log in to sims & unapologetically age down my champion horse to finish out my Very Veggie Gen Carrot.

just quit sims without saving because grim came for my horse. can't do it. i'm crying & good night.

it took Duckie over 4 hours to get the stupid option to discuss her side hustle with a friend to pop up. as a result, her crush got bored & Duckie learned that they don't have a whole lot in common 🫤 oh, well

today at work was absolute effing chaos & i am fried

last-minute throw together dinner was tasty: sautéed organic chicken Italian sausage with onions & peppers; i seasoned & hesitatingly added a little tomato sauce. it worked out 😉 was delish over penne with freshly grated parm 😋

watching an episode of Miami Vice & spotted a young Benicio Del Toro. quite a dark episode of Vice, btw.

good night from the burglar & police officer who follow household shoe rules 😂

have now learned that the parking lots & streets at work in DC still have not been plowed...

why doesn't Career Day require listening to presentations or speaking with your teach any more? all they have to do is show up now? or is this just me? #sims4

so work wants one "someone" to come in, at least by 1pm. everyone is snowed in. i'm struggling to even get TO my car. i'm really not sure how this is going to play out.

just got our first alert of power lines down about ten minutes from me 🫥

i really did try to get Mimosa inside & but of the storm, but she was still struck by lightning 😬

saving all the toys 😹

i officially hate this weather. snow i don’t mind. this icy sh!t & below freezing temps can go straight to hell…along with the other ICE-y sh!ts 😠

i was planning for Duckie to become an engineer, but maybe the science route would be more fitting so she could ask the aliens why they keep abducting her mother 👽🛸😂

it's ridiculous that this has popped up on her second day of high school 🙄

made pancakes from scratch for breakfast. no boxed mix. i am doing the do with this homemade shizz! 🤣

yay! 💞

it's weirdly quiet

Yuji doing some light web surfing this morning. i guess even cats have heard of 6 7 😹😹 (i'll show myself out)

happy Sunday from the throes of the storm ❄️ respect for the birds in my yard braving the blowing snow for their meal.

fell asleep on the sofa but have just moved to the bed. the snow has started. hoping we still have power when i wake up. good night 😴
