I hope everyone is having a good weekend…my group knocked out a ton of shopping yesterday, sticking to small local shops as much as possible. Got myself a few nice things too.

Today is the last full day of visitors, and I’m about to cook up some breakfast and get to work on more decor! 💨💨💨

This is how it came out today…perfecto!

On the flip side, I did find my beloved cookies at ALDI yesterday. I will be dunking one of these in every coffee I have from now until January. 😁

The bull is Novo Nordisk’s logo.

I like any combo of blue and green, so let’s go!

Recommended by a friend (who later reread it and said it was more annoying than they remembered), this wasn’t a bad read, but was desperately trying too hard to be cool and edgy. Can’t decide whether it was a homage or ripoff of Dresden Files. 🤔

Not sorry I read it, though! #BookSky

Well, my rescued trees cleaned up NICE! All the crud and dust are washed off and they’re sparkling again!

They still need a good fluff and some decor, but I am very pleased!

Before and after!

Okay, they’ll let me leave now eventually, right, @goldbluebirdie.bsky.social? 🤣

Fallen behind a bit on the #BookSky posting, so I’ve got a few backlogged.

I first heard about Freedom House while watching The Pitt and I was so intrigued, so I ran and checked out the book. Another fascinating part is American history I’d known nothing about.

Getting ready to crawl into bed and unwind and I get an alert from a Skywatch app.

And y’all…THE AURORA IS IN TOWN!!

Cat trees, electronic chase balls, a basket full of toys, and the #Pogacat says, “Paper bags are the best!!”

Ahhh, simple tastes. 😻😻😻

Ah. It’s snowing. Marvelous.

(I am fond of winter weather…when it’s actually winter.)

Finally got caught up on #CXEuros and YYYEEEEOOOOOO!!!

Toon Aerts wins it!

What a hell of a great race and that lead group just killed it all the way around. Great reading and the old man takes it 9 years after his last championship.

I am over the 🌕!!

It’s a #stroopwafelSunday before I scurry out into the world for a quick grocery run. It’s been a busy weekend!

But I’ll get this done, then I can catch up on some cyclocross and laundry.

An exciting life I lead, LOL.

After finishing second twice in the last few weeks…VICTORIOUS AT TRIVIA!! Wooooot!!!

Now, a bit of breakfast and I need to finish throwing stuff into a suitcase for an overnight trip. No rest for the wicked!

Welp, we lost. 1-0. All on us, we played poorly. Best regular season we’ve ever had just to tank out first playoff game.

So I went to a McDonalds (first time in YEARS) and had a snack in the parking lot.

Behold the Chicken McNugget of Sadness.

At a foot race this morning, so I can’t watch #X2OOudenaarde, but at least I am attired properly!

AHHHH, I finally got a cycling-adjacent question at trivia and it was the final question!!

Dang straight I nailed it! My three person team aced 3 of the 6 categories, but we bombed out on a popular music category just enough to come in 2nd by 5 points.

Our team name: “I Lost On Jeopardy!” #IYKYK

Visitors coming tomorrow, so some general cleanup today…

…and I find this on my closet floor…

…and I have no idea where the other one is.

(At least I actually own Visma gloves. If I didn’t, this would be VERY creepy.)

In this week before Halloween, I am finally carving/painting pumpkins…didn’t have time to do it before.

Look, I never claimed to be a master pumpkin carver! 😆

It’s been a grey rainy morning and my flu shot yesterday has given me the low-grade aches (per usual, but worth it).

So I’m puddled on the couch, watching swimming, working on some projects, etc.

I did cook some chicken for the #Pogacat. I do it every couple of months and it’s his favorite!

I had heard only good things about this book and I enjoyed The Martian well enough, so I picked this up.

A good read! Didn’t talk down to the reader either, which I enjoyed. Looking forward to the upcoming movie.

I did the thing. Who wants some?!

Went out on a very long ride this morning before the fall rains set in. Here’s some more decor up around my area.

Now I have made breakfast and am catching up with #ExactCross and #Santiago2025!

Knocking out some non-fiction…I have a fascination with caving (I live near some caves) but I would never do it beyond the guided tours, yknow?

But yeah, I remember when this all happened. Amazing that they all got out.
