more things make a post

[solaciolum]

• Failed step one, had a drink with dinner. There's always tomorrow.


• Need to do my exercises tonight, at least, and drink more water. I'm trying *not* to speed run getting a kidney stone in my 40s, I swear.


• This week I baked carrot cake oatmeal cookies and made some granola.


• I finished the shawl I was crocheting, apart from weaving in some ends! And I ordered new yarn to make an Afghan. I have a pattern picked out and everything. It won't get here until Monday, so I might start on the cardigan I wanted to make in the meantime.


• I macrame'd a plant hanger this evening. I'm going to find places to put all the damn plants so they stop taking up counter space in the kitchen. Might put up the curtain rod this weekend and macrame a curtain in there, too.


• I still want to bake the almond shortbread bars, but Le spouse has requested cinnamon pop tart bars instead. 'bout time I got a request, honestly.


• A few weeks ago I thanked mom for always putting up with me baking shit throughout high school- I'd do gift bags for Halloween and Christmas and Valentine's, and sometimes I'd be up late trying to finish things in time, and she always let me have the run of the kitchen. Now I'm following in her footsteps baking for work every week. She warned me that sometimes she didn't feel like baking, so she'd buy stuff to bring in instead, because her coworkers would expect treats.


• There was a fire at work in the boiler room on the old side of the building. Nowhere near my office, but they had to evacuate and cancel services and now half the building will be sans hvac for months. 2026 has been a fucking doozy so far. We had a meteor on the 17th!


• I forget things so easily now. Maybe bullet journaling like this will help.

Current things:

• Food: working through the giant bag of Reese's cups. Had tamales for dinner. tomorrow I need to eat a goddamn vegetable. I've eaten pizza twice this week. >_<


• Feeling: god I'm glad I quit my part time job


• Listening: more Masterplan this afternoon, but now I'm on my usual shuffle. I want to buy some new music soon, I think.


• Working on: I want to get back into the habit of writing again; last year was brutal. The next OtS story has been on my brain a lot, and it's probably pretty close to being done once I flesh out (heh) some of the transitions.
