Things have been crazy lately, but M to the rescue. Nothing makes me happier though than a surprise home project. @mdvana.bsky.social replaced our gas fireplace log set with one we got years ago (and I forgot about) that has a remote!

How long do you keep contacts in your phone after some sort of separation? (Work, death, no longer in your life)
I’ve quite a lot of digital baggage I can’t quite seem to part with.

If I didn’t have to ensure that I could cover out of pocket expenses for healthcare because: America, this would be an excellent use of my HSA.

Though I hate the time switching, I was hopeful that fall back Monday would be a more sleep kinda nice Monday.

Recovering pantry space by curating our dog supples down to supporting a two (not 5) dog family.
Luckily we have a lot of good stuff to donate. I’m just sad to have the reason, but my dogs had a great life full of love and care.

November 1st and apparently @mdvana.bsky.social has made the holiday switch, at least on our TV.

ALERT: Billionaire-backed PACs caught using “brazen” false ads about the Democratic justices up for retention in PA.
The truth: PA’s current Supreme Court has protected our votes, abortion rights, and people.
PA voters can protect our freedoms and courts by voting yes.

Making scarpaccia again tonight. First attempt a few weeks back was tasty but not photogenic.
Looking at other recipes and there’s so much more ‘stuff’ in it than the one we’re using. Less is more maybe?

While I like fresh new phone day, the IT side of me needs to soldier on through all the access restoration. MFA is fun when you’re the admin. 🤣

Practically having a doggy pharmacy at home has its upsides. That and a bumble for a husband.
You hope you never need it, but having an assortment of bandages and interventions at home is better than running to the store in a panic.

Spare me the anger & moral outrage you have over the murder of Charlie Kirk. ‘Libs’ that you’re rushing to accuse of this deplorable act are the first to decry violence, seek gun reform, and show empathy.
Empathy you now want and couldn’t muster for the Hortmans or multitudes of ☠️ kids.

Continuing my CVS distain, the vaccinations I just got don’t show up on my record at all. Have to call the MinuteClinic on Tuesday to find out why. Pharmacy was like 🤷🏼♀️
In theory, I could go get them again (oh, hell no).
Also, I booked through their app… 🤯

Snagged both the updated #Covid and #flu #vaccines yesterday. About 24 hours after, and the immune response truck hit me.
I’ll take this over all the times it didn’t register & I feared not being protected!

Cool enough for baking so trying my hand at making Scarpaccia. Pics may happen if it’s photogenic.

The DeSantis regime will do more to protect sidewalks from chalk than children from bullets.
The DeSantis administration currently has at least seven Florida Highway Patrol troopers just on anti-chalk duty: Two watching from a Dunkin Donuts next door and five more parked in the lot right behind them.

Reading through my timeline, I’m reminded of how slow our bathroom and laundry remodel has gone.
Ordering the wallpaper this week, getting the paint and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Hopefully the bedroom will be a much faster process.

Update on my euro purchase shipping dilemma: they are halting shipments to the US until sorted. Hopefully soon otherwise they’re going to have to get storage or halt orders from the US.
Maybe this is a sign that I just need to go to Europe on vacation.
