Holler if you’re coming over from Twitter so I can keep track of who’s who. My handle from over there was @/rideamare
Sitting in my dark house with my 800 candles lit because the power is out. The mixing of scents is mildly nauseating me, but I guess that’s the price you pay for light 😂

Just ate far too much chocolate after being on a pretty stringent diet for 4 months… my stomach is not pleased. I have a feeling I’m going to pay for this indulgence in about an hour 😬

Sometimes we sneak away and ride trails around a lake. Lexi is a surprisingly reliable trail horse. Well, not really surprising seeing as the moment we had 10 rides under our belt we spent all our hours on trail rides. Still, even though she hasn’t been out in 4 years she’s as solid as a rock.

MY DAY HAS COME AGAIN! I use the same opening word until it’s finally the word of the day. It’s been 923 days of opening with my word since my last opener, RUSTY, was the wordle word. Today my long standing opener was the winner. I’m elated.

My husband is all pissed at me because I was trying to take a photo of myself to use as a weight loss photo. I didn’t want to just stand there myself so I was like, why don’t I take one with the kids so it’s less awkward. And he’s pissed at me because I didn’t call him from the other room.

I’m officially down 24lbs since September. It’s been hard as hell and I don’t get to snack like I used to, but at least I’m seeing continuous results. 16 more to go until my “goal weight.”

There is FINALLY no significant rain on the forecast and I’m so damn excited. I hate winter, vehemently, and I’m ready for the sun to be out again.

All day long, all I’ve wanted to do was just eat a pound of chocolate while sitting alone in the dark in a piping hot room. Just went to the bathroom and there she was, the explanation for all my emotional turmoil. Got me again, you hormonal jerk. Welcome back.

Her 1/4 Arab is showing again 😂 Cold weather makes for a very saucy pony.

My kitten did the same thing after getting spayed last week. Shot out of her crate before I could catch her, horked down some wet food, and proceeded to do hot laps around the house and pester everyone. Pretty sure she violated everything the vet said not to do within 30 seconds of getting home.
Kitten got neutered today.

The vet tech discharging him: “he might not be interested in food because of the anesthesia - that’s ok - and he’ll probably be a little sleepy.”

The cat when we got home: “LETS DO DRUGS AND ROB A TACO BELL AND BEAT THE ODDS TODAY, BITCH! I GOT NOTHING TO LOSE NOW.”

Youngest is old enough now (I hope) that he won’t just open any present he sees, so I’m slowly introducing the kids to the idea that Santa brings a few gifts, and the rest come from mom, dad, & family. I wrapped half of the mom/dad gifts and put them under the tree tonight. Let’s see how this goes.

I have been mildly successful in refusing to get sick and I seem to have managed to kick it. Now the weather needs to stop being crap so I can spend all day outside putting together my chicken coop.

THIS is what keeps happening. It was cold (like mid 40’s at the photo time) and rainy today, which made my fingers do what my toes have been doing lately. Super cold, very white colored, and kind of numb. I was outside for *maybe* 2 minutes at this point. I walked from a warm building, to my car.

Fed my sourdough starter 1:5:5 last night to try to pull it to a solid overnight rise so I could use it this morning. It’s a bit slow to start, but it works because I forgot I have a dentist appt this morning.

My brain decided today we can sort and fold laundry for some reason. Of course I’ve now washed everything in my house and folded 5 baskets of various laundry. I’ve purged all the too small kid clothes and and I’m packing away seasonal things. Tomorrow it’s closet purge time.

I made sourdough with wheat flour and it reminded me of how much I dislike wheat bread. Sourdough didn’t change that fact. Loaf was pretty though, so there’s that.

I think I’m getting sick, but I don’t have time for that so I’m just going to ✨not✨ get sick. Wish me luck.

Murder Breath, aka Coco, is crazy and her favorite activity is aggressively head butting you for pats, but then turning around and biting your hand or arm. I’ve started sticking my finger down her throat every time she bites me, and she has magically figured out how to play with me WITHOUT biting.

I’m going to tag @regenceutah.bsky.social every day until they approve my friend’s chemotherapy

This is day 6

She is scheduled to start chemo this Friday

The numbers listed on their website don’t work

Instead we are emailing their CEO and also the governor and senators!
Regence Blue Cross of Utah is denying chemotherapy to my friend, Raven Haymond. She is scheduled to receive Perjecta, which is the standard of care for HER2+ targeted cancers next week

Made an 82% hydration sourdough loaf! It was a terrifying venture and involved a lot of just trusting the process. I’m not gonna lie, I’m crazy proud of it. Wish it was t as dark as it is, but I guess that’s mildly common with high hydration.

I’ve been struggling this winter with keeping my stinking toes warm. It’s been a solid week+ of my toes nearly perpetually staying stark white and icy. I’ve tried fuzzy socks + slippers, sticking my feet in front of a fire and also holding my toes in front of a heater. It solves it only briefly.

The theme of the past 2 weeks has been: How many times can I eff up bread. Today’s is another Challah bread. It turned out beautiful. Cooked to perfection, golden brown top that stayed soft, lovely crumb. It would be perfect if I hadn’t have FORGOTTEN THE GOD DAMN SALT IN THE RECIPE.
