Writes, draws, moves the furniture around and needs to turn on the radiator because it's chilly indoors.

I am a Dane, living in Denmark in Europe. I should perhaps add that.
It's been a while since I posted. I'm just trying to get through some stuff. As they say: "I don't have the spoons atm."

Wishing you all well.

I just googled "chaos gardening". Because gardening is supposed to be well thought out. Carefully planned. Hard work. Meticulous care-taking.

And I short circuit. The perfectionist in me keeps planning until I snap and google "chaos gardening". "Just do it". Live with the mistakes.

About to order plants for the garden and hesitating, last minute. It is probably nuts. Both not enough room and all the digging and the money.

Dreaming is one thing, but reality. Maybe better not.

#vss365 #creature

The teenagers only knew young people, so it was a surprise to them, when suddenly there was a scraping sound across the floor in the middle of the night.

A strange, hunched shadow on the walls. Wheezing.

Turned out the creature was grandma. Visiting from overseas.

I was watching a K-drama "Poong, the Joseon psychiatrist" on Netflix and they didn't have season 2. I googled and found a place called "Rakuten Viki" which is, I think, american. Free for the low res and older dramas.

It's a sweet romcom/detective drama and I like the health stuff, too.

I have lived on main street in two towns. Shops are always just ten minutes walk away, tops. Where I live now, the walk is just a bit too far away and the return walk is uphill. While carrying all the heavy stuff. So, I order groceries home, 1-2 weeks at a time.

Always worry I forgot something.

Lord Quartheart was out riding, as always, on a bright, sunny day. Lord Izzobad was counting his money, as always, when the sun was out. And Lord Inheritedthelot was trapped in business meetings all day.

Little did they know, that they were about to lose it all.

Catching up on chores, now that my health is getting better.

Putting together something for Webtoons. Maybe this time, I'll dare to launch.

Feeling more like me, after such a long time.

Doing a lot of household maths.

I rarely drink so this is from a distant memory.

2 drinks: I stop talking and get very aware of my own flaws.

3 drinks: Never mix wine with beer. I can barely walk.

4 drinks: I am a stone figure sitting on the couch, just watching the world go by.

And if I do it alone at home, I'll just cry.
2 drinks: chatty as a 6 year old girl

3 drinks: asleep in the corner

4 drinks: 🤷 time traveler from 1988?
2 drinks: normal person

3 drinks: outgoing normal person

#vss365 #experiment

He was a pessimist, trying to save people.

So far, so good.

Patient number 13 said, quite stunned, that he had never heard of a worse outlook on life. And decided, he was doing much better than him.

The pessimist then tried, as an experiment, to be cheerful.

That failed.

#creep #vss365

It was an art. To creep. To be so quiet. So invisible, that even the cat, didn't notice him.

This is how Mr. Jones left the house every evening, to avoid his wife's snoring. Sleeping in the tree house. In peace.

I am trying to get used to eating chili. I know, it is good for me. Not sure how long it takes to get used to it.

A kind of Janitor Detail, flying around the Solar System in their big Maintenance Ships.

-- "FNIRR! You missed a spot!"

-- "Stop calling me that!"

-- "Uranians fnirr!"

-- "I did it ONCE!"

-- "Guys? We aren't done with the Heliacal Cleanse, yet."

The Sun had a Spot.

She recoiled.

It felt like only a few, sweet weeks, since they started dating. He was so nice. So polite.

She did notice a few eerie things, but shrugged it off.

Until today, when his gloves came off, and she recoiled.

Her blood soaked his shirt. Gushing.

His nickname was #terror.

#Martians #vss365

The irony of looking for life on Mars, is that the Martians moved away a long time ago.

To Earth.

(Kidding. But that would be ironic.)

This is not something I want to do, but as someone who was food insecure for a long time, here are some ways to get the most out of what you can get.

-if you have dietary restrictions or food aversions, spend some time thinking about what foods are safe. It sounds obvious, but—

Yuletide is not that far away, so I got to thinking of food.

Yes. It happens.

Pannetone. Italian Christmas bread cake. It is expensive! So I was checking out recipes.

Unseen people. Old people, big people, small people, tired people.

And there, in the middle of it all, we notice the happy people.

- "Must be nice."

And we move on. Unseen.

It is a quiet energy. Hope.

Bright as the blue summer sky.

Fresh as spring flowers.

Every now and then, hope, dies.

Only to be born again.

Calling your name.

Like oil, it bubbles darkly, for some. Energy. Their rage fuels them.

For others, it shines brightly. Energy. Their hope reborn, like springtime after winter.

And then, there are those, who chase hated windmills, with a man on a donkey.
