I have moved into my new apartment, and I have a functional kitchen. Today, the old apartment gets deep cleaned. Hopefully, the maid service has no interest in me being around…

An attempt to #watercolor a purple creeping thyme. I suck at watercolors, but I'm having a good time. #Art is how I'm relaxing lately, mostly bad paintings of mountains, landscapes, and doodles of flowers.

The move is going well so far. We're doing a little at a time, and we're doing mass decluttering while we're doing it.
This is pleasing everyone in the Blain Household. The kitties are confused, but they're getting a lot of petting and cuddling, so they've determined it's a Good Thing.

Sadly, the trail was closed to foot traffic partway through, but I made it this far, and I would have gone farther if only!!

Progress is happening!! This was absolutely the hell rough as hell, but I am doing better. It still hurts, but I am able to push through.
No weight loss yet, but I can definitely tell there is a lot of muscle gain happening.

Everything hurts. This is the fastest and farthest I can currently walk, and I'm paying for it head to toe.
But I did it, so that's something.

I thought about posting something, but the reality is this: the people it would be directed towards lack empathy, and as such, I would be wasting my breath. The people who already know this already know. Nothing changes. But fuck, this year has been a complete cluster so far.

We got the new apartment! So relieved. We get to escape the nightmare downstairs. She keeps accusing us of stuff we're not doing, which is highly irritating. Like... I don't want apartment management calling me on a holiday because this woman is complaining about something we didn't even do.

We applied for a new apartment. Larger, better location, and while more expensive, i suspect better neighbors… not a high bar to reach right now, though.

Here is a slightly different view of the red shouldered hawk I photographed yesterday. I love the details on the feathers!

For the horde!! = “I do this for my group, might be angry.”
For the hoard! = “I do this for my shinies! (Usually crafting supplies)”
For the hoard, horde! = “Possibly angry crafters hunting in packs for new supplies.”
The Management highly recommends staying clear of the hoarding horde.

I admire the ruthlessness of the person who gifted me with a really nice entry level Singer seeing machine. Between the table for the machine and the accessories, my wallet has gasped… as has my husband.

Yes, I bought the carrot cake. If they were made with ecoli carrots, so be it. The universe has spoken.
Now I am going to listen to the wind and try (likely without succeeding) to get some sleep.

This week has been surreal. Kobo failed to launch Partner in Crime. (Fixed.) There is a problem with Amazon’s Light in the Dark reviews. No idea what is what with that. My anxiety is running wild. Bomb cyclone is making life windy. Only good news? I bought cake. I plan to eat my feelings.

Ah, yes. I had a fridge full of ecoli carrots. Now I have no carrots and much sadness. And now I really want carrot cupcakes. The carrot cupcakes I really like?
Made with ecoli carrots. (More accurately, the bakery that makes them uses that brand of carrot.)
No ecoli carrot cupcakes for me.
