@dragoness129: Oh! 12 is such an interesting age! <3 Enlist their help to choose a different veggie or recipe to try each week and see what they come up with! What about pumpkin or other hard squashes? There are a lot of ways to prepare them... mashed, broiled, soups, etc. And yes - don't hesitate to omit or swap out things!! <3

Yep! I do love showing them new recipes and gaging their opinions.
Mmm, that does sound pretty good.
Sometimes, when I ask them what they want for dinner, they tell me "I don't know" or "leftovers". They can be so indecisive, like me.
As for those, I do like pumpkin, but I haven't had it in any savory dishes, only sweets. I would have to give the others a try again. I know when I was little, I did not care for squashes.

Yep, yep! Just got to try them!
And will have to look up the different ways to cook things too.
Most of the time I am wanting to find something new to spice up chicken or beef differently.

@Anarchist Beauty: I have now turned into potato for the day. Speaking of potatoes, I'm going to bake some. c:
Is that a "yay going to my moms~ c:" Or like "Dang. goin' to my moms.." or probably more neutral. XD I know when I go to my mom's I'm like -sarcastic yay-

@Wildfire: I got a plumber to my house today, they charged less than I anticipated and got things fixed, the root problem is still a problem, but it's a postponed problem. Which helps since we have zero extra income atm. This plumber was able to work off the one I paid over the weekend, and gave me exact locations, and told me I had a broken toilet. e.e"" FOR NOW, I get to relax and take a deep breath and leave my phone alone for a couple days.

@Purpsy: I have many hobbies~ c: Gardening is new this year as I've never really tried it before. :d Last year, I picked up wood carving. I wanna keep doing that, but I moved out of my dad's and I can't quite afford the tools yet.
I draw, costumes, photography, paint, uh... read.. adventure, play piano, theremin... I dunno, you name it, I've probably done it once. =O I'm not a consistent person though. I get bored doing one thing over and over.
At the moment, I spend most of my time at my computer and parenting. What do you do for fun? c:

@Ava: I added you on Instagram. <3 My page hasn't been posted on in a while, so it's pretty boring rn. I don't imagine I'm going to pick it back up anytime soon too. I like keeping to myself, although I am an outgoing person. lol.

Silence, the White Mage is now speaking.

@Wildfire: hellloooo theeeeere.... hun you wouldnt believe me but i have a joooob *party* how have you been?

@Vixen: Hi Vixen. How are you today??

@Koah: Oh, I'm glad you got the immediate issue remedied enough to at least have functioning bathrooms! Sometimes that goes a long, long way! It sounds like you found a decent plumber too, which is always a good thing. :3 At least now you have a little time to collect some money for the next bill(s) and put as solid a plan together as you can without getting in there and doing it (because you know everything can change once you open up a project like that and start dealing with it).

@KittyBeary: Hello. I'm glad you're enjoying the event. :3

@Miss Sandman: Oh! Congrats on the job! What kind of job did you get?



Good morning btw!

@Wildfire: I am so happy I found a bigger bandaid to our big issue. This plumber gave us a lot of ideas and now we'll have enough time to figure out a solid plan. :0 Amidst this chaos there are other things going on. I didn't realize how stressed I am. whoah. --flops--
-sips my coffee-

@Miss Sandman: Oh, that could be a lot of fun! Congrats on the job - I hope it goes well for you! :3

@Koah: Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm glad you found this plumber and have some information and options to play with! Suggestion (from experience) - don't get complacent about the issue because it's not in your face right now... Take the time you need, obviously, to get the finances and your plan in place, but don't let this one sit too long, because it's only likely to compound itself. And remember to breathe. One thing at a time. You can do this!

@Wildfire: This is a problem that will itch on me until it's fixed. So I'll be working on it in a couple days, once my nerves settle. A lot of the stress around this has been financial. Our old roommates moved out a few months back, my husband lined someone up to move in. They brought their stuff and went back to their old place and haven't come back or paid rent in almost 2 months. SO I lost my cool about that yesterday. I wouldn't be so flustered if we had that extra income rn. So I got strict yesterday and Told em' to pay or come get their stuff. [nicely] and they'll be paying this month.
My husband likes these people and wants them to move in with no issue, so he hasn't pressed them on rent. But I will be. -3-

@Miss Sandman: I hope you keep enjoying the job. c: and hopefully you guys will be able to move the truck around soon-ish. I cannot imagine having a restaurant amidst the pandemic chaos.
