We decided to order from our now favorite local ice cream shop on door dash since its not far but we don't want to go out in this heat, and I guess they are crazy busy because its estimating an hour and a half until delivery. IM SORRY ICE CREAM PEOPLE 😭 social media made their popularity explode.

Booked a week and a half off at the start of July to use up some of my carried over vacation time, and im excited, but my brain is like "I got a month to get everything done so nobody can mess up my work while I'm gone." 🫠

When your friend is getting a great deal with a rent to own property instead of having to get a mortgage. Im happy for her obviously but that would be the ideal scenario for us too but I want my debt paid off before getting into a rent to own scenario since its more expensive than our rent.

I always find it funny how when a Canadian wins some sort of lottery and it ends up on tiktok, Americans flock in "That's nothing after taxes". Fun fact, Canada does not tax a single penny of lottery wins. You win a million, you get a million. The fact US taxes lottery winnings is crazy to me.

Nyx got the official "Congratulations you are now a permanent resident of canada!" Email today and omg its such a relief 😭😭 We knew it was going to be official when they asked for his PR card photo but seeing the real full confirmation and documentation has made it sink in that we did it.

Honestly, this is why so many folks don't stay loyal to a job for 30+ years anymore. My wage barely goes up every year for inflation. If I go to another job with my experience I could already negotiate far more than my wage even 5-10 years down the line. Loyalty to a job doesn't pay off anymore.

Im hoping all the work ive been doing lately lands me a promotion, ya know, the promotion my boss has been trying to get HR to give me since late 2024 🫠 he really wants me to have a stronger title in the company and earn more, HR keeps claiming they can't afford it currently.

We were charging up our headsets to hop on VR for the evening, started watching the new Devil may cry episodes and lost track of time with how long the episodes are 🤣 at least the headsets are charged for when we actually play.

I really do wish chewie was a bit more friendly with other dogs/strangers. There is a local charity dog walk for cancer research but thats just setting him up for failure if we went. Next dog we get we plan for a puppy so hopefully I get the chance to properly socialize and train it.

The perks of working remote most of the week, a nice toasty lap.

Just paid off another debt, so I only have one main debt remaining that will be paid off by late next year. Im so grateful that im so close to being fully debt free besides my car. I haven't been debt free in so long due to my previous situation, but im finally almost out of the woods!

Im all bundled up with a blanket in our home office since the AC is in here, but we have to keep it running sorta high with the weather that we are getting this week to keep the rest of the house fairly cool.

There are moments that I wish I wasn't pushed so hard to start working in my teens. Sure taught me good work ethic, but I missed out on alot in my teens and my 20s were spent basically just surviving. We plan to do fun stuff now, but I feel... late to the party for things we have planned.

Introduced my landlord to Loki since I had never fully mentioned we had him and I knew he was a bit bitter about the previous tenants cat that peed everywhere. Turns out he rescued two kittens before winter and is a crazy cat dad now 🤣 so he just loved up on loki.

"Having a small house with three pets must be a pain to keep clean and fresh" Bruh... compared to the size of some rentals I lived in before, this is perfect. Only takes me 15 mins to vacuum/sweep the entire house 🤣 we love our lil rental house.

Kinda crazy I immigrated a whole ass person into canada. We didn't even need legal help, just joined a discord that had other folks who did the same pathway help us out and it all went super smoothly. Canada has limited immigration options, but the process is easy if you actually qualify for one.

Got our AC set up this morning since we have a heat wave coming in this week, I am SO glad my parents got this for us last year, its been such a life saver. Its not the prettiest set up but its functional.🤣

Watching the new Regular show episodes and its so clear they are happy to be off cartoon network 🤣 SO MANY adult jokes.

Welp, gotta go with nyx to a photographer on monday, the hubby is now officially a permanent resident of Canada! Gotta go get a picture taken for his card so he can leave and enter canada freely. Was a LONG 14 month wait, but he's officially here to stay.

Shitty picture is kinda shitty but for a cheaper seafood boil (compared to the one other place that makes it here) Cajun red lobster mariner boil is pretty dang good. Decent amount of crab legs, tons of shrimp, nice lobster pieces too. I am STUFFED.

I was craving seafood boil because ive only had it once more than a year ago, nyx just passed me his phone and told me to treat myself to it because he spent money on Vbucks for the overwatch skins 🤣🤣🤣 You know what, fair.

Kinda wish I had more motivation to get back into streaming, but at the same time, I streamed frequently before because I wasn't happy where I was in life. Had very little friends, was in a financial hole, didn't have any hobbies really. Streaming was a few hours a night I could forget about it all.

Can the whole fuel scenario stop getting worse so we can book our october flights without fearing they will be canceled? I hate leaving stuff like flights and hotels until last minute but im so scared to book something and we have to cancel and redo everything 🥲 orange man, figure it out already.

I used to be envious of people who lived comfortably with a decent emergency fund built and funds for leisure. Now im in that position and my brain is still too scared to spend more then 2.99$ on a bag of chips or something. I think my brain will always be frugal 🫠

Man I LOVE being sick for hours on end, and failing to get more sleep on the couch because loki decided I was the perfect zoomie obstacle for the few hours I had left to sleep before work. Screw it, working remote today. I have zero drive to be in the office around folks.

"Glitch is still indie" I don't know, usually indie shows don't have 4 professional animation studios that worked with Disney/marvel, cartoon network, Netflix, etc on them. Let alone having a popular YouTube group behind it.

Had this on repeat pretty regularly ever since the Neon Odyssey Kickstarter launched, I am SO hyped to get our pledge products, we plan to do our first EVER D&D campaign with the Neon Odyssey option we backed 👀 go check out the music video on YouTube if you haven't. open.spotify.com/track/2mE4Ue...

In mine and Nyxs last playthrough of baldurs gate, I was a overpowered wizard that loved casting fire ball a little too much. Now I am a Warlock with over powered eldritch magic because my charisma is off the charts. ...I may still be using karlach to throw people at each other and off cliffs tho.

I still wouldn't consider myself a crazy cat lady like I do with bunnies and dogs, but damn I love this little orange crack head.

We are 20 hours into our new baldurs gate playthrough, and we are STILL in act 1. We are trying to clear everything we possibly can compared to the last playthrough and we are already stupid overpowered 🤣 at least act 2 should be a cake walk this time.

Nyx and I have been a little guilty of eating out more often lately since our budget permits, so today we did a big grocery trip and got a bunch of varying meals/snacks so that we have NO excuse not to eat at home 🤣 We are treating ourselves to Korean corn dogs later and thats it, no more fast food.

Being a good pet owner is wanting to sleep in, but knowing your senior dog has to get fed early enough or else he will refuse food and gets acid reflux 🥹 babies are fed, back to bed for a few hours.

We have a decent amount of "expensive" belongings but the bulk is things we got as gifts, already owned, or got for free second hand. I haven't done any major big purchases since nyx and I moved in together. Living a comfy frugal lifestyle is easy when you don't need the newest or fanciest things.

Ended up being lazy and just put the new TV from my friend in the bedroom. Now we can be lazy beans in the morning and watch TV on a 50inch, instead of the tiny TV we had that we never used because it was so small 🤣🤣

Friend of mine is getting rid of a TV for a good price and its slightly bigger than the one I snagged from my coworker for the livingroom, so guess il be organizing the bedroom today to try and make our 50inch fit in the bedroom 🤣 cozy movie nights ahead!

Took chewie for his spring bath at the local pet stores rental tubs, a worker came over and said "aww getting old with the gray face, how old is he?" She was BAFFLED when I told her he was turning 13 in July. She then called two other staff over to play "guess how old that dog is?" 🤣

Why the heck is the new Dino in Rivals not insta banned in comp? Two games in a row nyx is in, no Dino ban and no matter what his team does, that thing does not die.

The huntrix meal came to canada so Nyx used it as a excuse to order McDonald's for us for lunch 🤣 im mostly curious about the sauces and Shaker fries, since one of the sauces is glittery purple

I actually slept in today which is crazy for me 🤣 we woke up around 6am out of habit from work days, stayed awake in bed for a bit, started cuddling and passed TF out again until almost 11am. We got in bed at 11pm. We were due for that extra sleep together 🤣

We have a wild cotton tail thats been visiting our yard daily since early April, and i really don't get how folks see domestic rabbits who were dumped and think it looks like this 🤣 cotton tail anatomy is so weird looking compared to domestic rabbits

Nyx and I decided to stay out of the housing market for a good few years. Market sucks, mortgage percentages suck, and too many horror stories from coworkers who bought "inspected" properties getting screwed. I think unless we can put a SIGNIFICANT down-payment somewhere, we renting for life.

Deleted my recent related dog posts, gotta stop venting about dogs on here, folks just really piss me off sometimes lmao

I find it funny that I still get ID'ed regularly. Went to get a new vape with my usual loungefly backpack covered in shit somebody in their 30s probably wouldn't carry around, and she legit said "Man if i wasn't good at knowing a real ID from a fake, I would question if you are actually 30" 🤣

It should be a crime how often some companies email you in a day. Had to unsubscribe from PetSmarts emails entirely because they would send me emails 4-5 times A DAY. Even when I got rid of news letter emails they still did it, so I had to completely unsubscribe from ANY emails.

Nyx and I always call chewie our dog since he is, but I joke with nyx that he stole my dog because he LOVES nyx. Chewie loves me too but I don't know what this dogs thing is about specific men, his favorite people are my dad and nyx. Has the last almost 12 years together meant nothing?? 🤣

I'm three days until my 5 days off and I am so done dude... I've managed to get everything fairly caught up so folks won't have issues while im away tuesday/Wednesday, but I wish I was already on my long weekend 🤣

People are so quick to be aggressive lately. Big reason I don't really comment on anything on tiktok anymore. No wonder most folks who comment on stuff just use the photo/Gif option now.

I like how a few weeks ago I was telling Nyx if Dunkin Donuts came back to canada with how unpopular Tim Hortons is getting they would thrive. Now Dunkin donuts is coming back to canada 🤣🤣 Hopefully we get a location here.

Kinda glad Nyx and I started a new playthrough of BG3. We both went into it pretty blind in our first run, this time we are playing different classes and better understand the game. We still have hardly made a dent in Act 1, but we are having a MUCH easier time overall even on the harder difficulty.

Rival players: CONFIGS GOT BANNED I CANT PLAY WAAAAHHHH ...? I run the game on a LAPTOP with a 3070 TI and 16 gigs of ram. I don't lag or stutter. Nyx and I both don't understand how folks say its not optimized. Set the game to your system settings instead of running things full?
