Oh boy, how much time do you guys have? 😂

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AMENDMENT The checker overcharged me by nearly $34. I had questioned him in the store, thinking that some of the previous person's groceries got mixed into mine, and he rattled off my groceries on my receipt before continuing. Yes, all mine. +

My ALDI grocery shop today was over $100. I normally get out of there sub-$65. It was an extremely normal shopping trip, with less produce than in the winter since I've still got access to the farm stand--mostly beans, some yogurt, butter, canned tomatoes, sugar, partner's iced tea, & a snack each.

Measles in one of the nearby districts. I hope this doesn't spread too far. There was a measles outbreak a few years ago because of the Amish, and that was contained, but people have a more vehement stance on vaccines now, so I'm warier.

When I take a day off, I rarely sleep in anymore. Up at 6am 😭 I suppose it's my brain's way of maximizing my "me" time? I wanted to sleep in a bit! Occasionally I can cat nap a bit before 9am.

At last eye can properly repent to meye weather lords @weatherishappening.com

Sorry this was like vague-booky; I am fine & it's being addressed by my medical team. I'm just waiting for another appt because we live in hell 🫠 I have a plan from both my current cardiac care team as well as my PCP as I await an appt with another electrophysiologist. I put both to use Sat 🙃

This is ALSO not what I originally opened bsky to post, but I'm really excited for dinner because I can smell my beans in the instant pot. We're having baked potatoes with shitloads of veggies for the potassium because I had another ✨️cardiac incident✨️

Hi, what the fuck?

Sometimes you need to make a pickle pizza. (Sorry, I forgot to take pictures, but it was delicious. I made garlic bread sticks, too, and we dipped them in the leftover white sauce. A little weekend indulgence.)

Columbus, OH friends: run, dont walk to Love, Riley cakes at 23 and Lazelle. I am absolutely obsessed with her macarons. I have gone there twice in the past week now and gotten macarons and cupcakes, and I don't even LIKE cake! Her cupcakes are both beautiful and delicious 🤤

I fucking beg the news to get details right rather than race report shit first. One shooter. Shooter detained.

Active shooter reported at Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, New Hampshire. Reports of multiple victims.

Holy shit, the first (and later, last) Hot Chicken Takeover closed today? I knew there was only one location left in recent weeks, and wondered how long it would be open. Well, it's not anymore. I only ever had one mac and cheese there, which was ass, but it's still shitty to see.

Even though I got the old school Moderna vax this year (thanks, insurance! 🙄 but also for real, I appreciate that it was covered at all), this was the most mild round of side effects so far. I was able to work half a day, had minimal aches, but I did fall asleep for a few hours this afternoon 🙂

What's got two thumbs and a Covid vax? This gal! (Flu vax next month 😤)

Gimme all your potatoes and nobody gets hurt!

We ordered from our favorite Indian/Nepali/Tibetan restaurant today and now I am full of vegetable pakora 😋 The chef had a heavy hand with spice today, because I also got a cheeky little order of samosas which are never spicy there, and they had a delightful kick this afternoon!

Zoo day! Zoo day! Probably no previews from the zoo because Im going with my neighbor so I don't like to stop and go thru pics when I'm not alone. I don't even know that I'll get a lot of pics, we will see how the flow of the day goes. This won't be a full day :)

Didn't she steal perfectly legal prescription meds by abusing her license as a nurse? Should JD be blowing up nursing schools and hospital pharmacies? Because she was not using black market drugs, she was, like her son and his buddies, using her position to steal

Please enjoy this northern bald ibis, taken at the Columbus zoo last year 🦉

My very own bloödcheëp! (This was thru glass with my phone, hence the poor quality; apologies)

@bloodlesscoup.bsky.social I really enjoyed your nail polish swatch video of all the Holo Taco reds!! You may have inspired me to try a magnetic polish even though I know i can't handle it!

I'll stop talking about my health soon, I promise. I learned today that my potassium baseline is actually quite a bit higher than "normal," so when it's been "a bit low," it's been quite a bit lower than I knew. I should have been on rx supplementation years ago.

Somehow my potassium got lower after potassium from the ER and I continued to take my cardiologist's potassium and I ate potatoes for two days straight. Waiting for the pharmacy to open so I an get a potassium rx. Idk why I don't absorb this shit.

No, YOU went into v-tach and had paddles applied in the ambulance on the way to the ER tonight! (Don't worry, it's not as dramatic as all that. They didn't have to CLEAR! or anything. If my enzymes are good, I should be able to go home tonight. I bet my stupid electrolytes are off again.)

Today was the last day of my favorite farmer's market this year. I'm too sad to talk about my haul right now. I got a free baked goods from one vendor who I learned today I have a closer connection with than I realized 🥲

Frankie the elephant wants you to see his ball. Tell him what a nice ball he has!

Zoo day! Zoo day!

Finally, this man got a watch so he won't beg for food at 5 pm 😩

Oh wow, crazy. Who could have predicted this? (Luddite for life)

Does anyone want my son??? MIAO! MIAO! He is very hungry and has never eaten before.

My wonderful son just can't get any cuter 😭 (In three hours he will try my patience as he screams his head off for an hour begging for dinner)

Farmer's market haul today included 3 lbs of coffee, a quart of blackberries, 10oz creamed honey, several bulbs of garlic (Music), a quart of nectarines, a quart of plums, seven eggplants, 3 Cherokee purple tomatoes, and 3 margold tomatoes!

Shot my shot in a stranger's video comments who works at a restaurant where my brother had a function 16 years ago to say I'd do unspeakable things for a pasta recipe that's not on their regular menu and she told me to message her 😭

Does anyone still talk to Korben?

Eggplant parm today and the only things I didn't make were my pasta and my cheese...though I *can* do both of those things. Way too humid to dry pasta today anyhow. I also made custard-style blueberry swirl vanilla ice cream. It was amazing. Kinda long process, but worth it!

Completed Phase I of my ice cream today: french vanilla base, which is now chilling in the fridge. Tomorrow, I will churn and then freeze the blueberry jam swirls into it. I also roasted tomatoes, onion, garlic, and some spices for a roasted tomato sauce for tomorrow's eggplant parm 🤤

Yesterday I accidentally did a crossword from the archives and couldn't figure out which one it was because i thrn IMMEDIATELY did yesterday's crossword. It turns out it was one from 2011 and I have no idea how this happened

Market day! I got honey, blackberries, pickles, garlic, (the garlic lady threw in two extra bulbs for free 💜), somewhere around a quarter peck of apples, eggplant, and a bunch of heirloom tomatoes. I've already made a loaf of bread for the heirlooms. Tomorrow I will make ice cream and swirl in jam

(FWIW, I was obsessed with dinosaurs, and I think this was like a SIKE! at the end of my little "what I did while I was away" journal. Please see these two much earlier pages:)

Turns out I was a dinosaur truther when I was 6.

I guess the plus side of going to the grocery store today is that I can go get myself a cheeky coffee at my favorite coffee shop on the way home?

Ahahaha I think i have a kidney stone

Amazingly successful day at the farmer's market. I got over 2 qts of blueberries, a quart of blackberries, cinnamon creamed honey, cat treats, pickled veg, a qt of peaches, a dozen eggs, heirloom tomatoes, 3 lbs of coffee...garlic lady was out of town. Coffee won't be here next week, hence xtra lb😊

We have had flash flooding up here (not my city but a bit south. Southern Columbus and the county immediately south) and bf's dr appt was canceled earlier this week as the medical facility is flooded. It won't be open again on the date they rescheduled BUT the moved the location of the appt.

Today I Made two (2) loaves of zucchini bread Made blackberry jam Made blueberry jam Made jam thumbprint cookies (blackberry and blueberry) Oh! Rearranged one of my kitchen cabinets and removed all plastic storage. This was after spending half the day lazing about, too! Not bad!

The majestic goof demands your attention
