@Purpsy: lol. Some of us are genuinely old XD


@Koah: lol... yeah, I was playing with fabric and options and they were on sale so one thing led to the other led to a half-finished rug and a broken sewing machine XD Thanks for the compliment on the rug(s) - I really like that one too. I still need to sew some of the holes I missed with the machine though. Until then, it's kind of hiding away in my room and not out where the dogs are likely to get caught in the holes when they run around like maniacs :3

You've been a reading machine lately - you must really like the series you just completed! :3

I don't really use Youtube either - never have. Once in a while I'll use it to look something up or to run a playlist. I do like how you can learn things there but I don't like sifting through somebody else's ramblings for 30 minutes just to get the information I need and my patience for finding "good" videos is limited :3 But it is a resource for a number of things, and there's some value in that

@Wildfire: I tend to get sucked into books when I find a decent story. The story itself is good. Rounded off well. Worth the read. The characters... I couldn't relate to all that much. I'd maybe rate it a 7/10 for adult fantasy.
I do have 2 smaller books left in the series to read, but the story arch itself is over.

I made my son a quilt before he was born. It's massive. but there are holes in it from one of my dogs and a thread came loose, so there's another hole. He refuses to let me have it long enough to fix. so there are mornings where I'll find him with a foot or hand through the holes. e.e'

I forgot how quickly I tan. I came inside from doing yard work and I got sun-kissed, I didn't recognize myself for a moment.
My pooper scooper broke sometime in the winter. So I had to go through the yard with baggies. I did more squats today than I have in months.
I mowed, I was probably that crazy neighbor today that broke out the mower too soon, but I have tall grass and it was driving me nuts.
And my son set up the sprinkler under the trampoline and enjoyed our 68*f weather. little too cold for me for sprinklers.. but he was happy. XD

@Koah: LOL! You'll have to steal the quilt to fix it when he does a sleepover or goes off fishing or whatever activity he does when he's out of the house for a few hours! XD <3

LOL! How are your legs feeling after doing all those squats with poop bags yesterday? XD I must say, that's probably a weird benefit for us not having a fenced in yard that we can just let the dogs out in... we have to walk them daily, and we have to pick up their poop from the neighbors' lawns when they go, so there's only so many squats involved XD (the upside of dog poop?? XD )

Eh... whatever makes you happy. I'm sure the grass will survive your early mowing unless it freezes over again in the next couple of days, maybe... and even then...

LOL at your son in the sprinkler at 68*F! XD That is too cold for me too, but I was also outside sunbathing in February in those temperatures the first time I came to Florida... I was just so tired of not seeing the sun, that having it available and having it even that warm was worth the slight chill to feel it on my skin!

Good morning!

@Koah: lol... oh yeah... the elastic feeling. That's a weird one, isn't it?
A couple of weeks ago, I weed-whacked a couple 'long grass' areas of our yard for much the same reason. :3

So what do you have in store for today - anything fun?

@Wildfire: Today, I'll be offline for a bit. I got appointments and a big ultrasound.
So yay, baby checking.


@Purpsy: lol, I do, however, fall down the rabbit hole of Tiktok for about an hour a day. XDD But the videos are super short and I tend to get off tiktok giggling about the humor shared there. :3

@Koah: Oh good luck! <3


I did some gardening earlier and I just got done doing about 25 minutes of yoga/pilates to help stretch out my poor sore back! I think I'm going to go sit in the sun and read (and lurk around a bit), but I don't have anything else really planned for the day today.


I get sucked in to the wormhole of avatar sites... sometimes social media, but I don't check them very often (because most of them are just so angry and mean and frustrating at this point!!)

@MoodyB: Those are some serious technical issues when it comes to making art on screen. :( That's good that you do enjoy art, despite all the challenges you're apparently facing... and that was the difference I was trying to convey in my earlier post. Also, people who look at completely aesthetically pleasing art are limited in their view - there's more to art than making pretty pictures :3

Good morning.
I am sore this morning! The dog kicking me last night isn't helping, I think...

@Koah: hehehe... yeah... me in the garden :3

I'm glad your appointment went well, and I hope your plans tonight go well. Are you doing anything particularly fun?

We're supposed to be going out tonight too... gonna hit the beach and get dinner watching the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico. It has been a while since we've done that and it's time... before it gets overrun with Spring Breakers XD

@Koah: Oh that could be fun (I've never been to one either).
Yes, it should be nice tonight - it's always nice to watch the sun set over the sand and water like that. It's hard not to think of Spring Break here when I see almost more out-of-state plates than Florida plates on cars when I go out these days...
