    I don't think I've ever said the word "adulting" out loud in my life.

    Cooking is more of a hobby, so even when I'm not up to making a fully-fledged meal, it's a bit more involved than a frozen dinner or dry ramen. Lately, as an easy meal, I'll just heat up one of those Jamaican beef patties with a beer and call it dinner.

    It's cute.
    I feel like any time a kitten has been adopted, they're always sick or covered in fleas. It was a trend in school for people to adopt pets from shelters so there were a lot of gross cats around.

    Anything with Adam Sandler. London Fields.
    Anything from the 70s. It's as if directors were afraid to make the film too short so they filmed everything.

    It happens.
    Just don't sit in the cynicism for too long because it can make you bitter without appreciating the simple pleasures life has to offer. Sometimes you just have to take things for face value and with a grain of salt. Often this comes with age, but mostly it's just from understanding your own limits and how to sort through what the world is offering you.
    Ohh, I like Meowth. I am looking forward to the entries for this round!

    Thank you for all the previews, and for the announcement. The items look charming.
    All of those things, hahaha.

    Congratulations on the job, too, Miss Sandman.

    Ah, this should be interesting.

    @Totalanimefan: I hope so, hahaha.
    I'll be able to test it out sometime tomorrow, or the day after. The instructions suggest I wait 24 hours, so I made sure to row extra hard today so I can take a break tomorrow--I'll probably need it.

    @Totalanimefan: hahaha
    Thank you. I received the shower stickers today, and just placed them down, so hopefully it'll be a good solution and I won't slip in the shower and die. If I die, I'd at least like the chance to do my hair before they find me with it curled into a mess or I'm only finished shaving one leg.

    It's admirable that you want to rescue animals--hamsters in particular. I suppose it's not the pet you usually imagine when you think of a rescue. Perhaps a house might be more considerate for that kind of operation; both in terms of space for you and your critters, and for the sake of neighbors and the unique attributes of rodents.

    I once pet-sat for a home that had a couple of different rescued animals. One was a bearded dragon, a couple of finches, a parakeet, two doves, a cat with a crooked tail, and...I think that was it at the time. Later they also had some hermit crabs, oddly enough.

    The parakeet was such a little turd and the hardest one to take care of!

    I'm currently watching Nothing Gold Can Stay.
    I happened to catch an episode years ago and then discovered what it was by coincidence when I watched a period drama with the same actress. I cannot relay to you how ecstatic I am to be able to watch the entire series; it's so much fun to watch. It has mystery, murder, wit, love triangles, danger, you name it. It's full of interesting things.

    And it's a little more lighthearted than my last one, which was Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace. While absolutely fantastic and I would 10/10 watch again, it was very heartbreaking and you could really lose yourself in the heartache.

    hahaha
    Thank you, thank you. And the satisfaction was pretty great; I was absurdly proud of myself when I went into the washroom later for a night routine. I think I would like to try and clean the shower liner, though. I couldn't seem to find the right thickness online; all of the reviews made them look like industrial sheets rather than a thicker vinyl.

    I tackled the bedside drawers last night, which was pleasant.

    I watched a couple episodes of a new drama, and then felt the urge to clean. I mopped the kitchen, vacuumed the house, changed the sheets, steam cleaned a pillow, then steamed the entire washroom. I can't even relay to you the horror I felt in my bones when I pulled up that shower mat. Needless to say, I steamed and sanitized it, then ordered stickers for the tub instead.

    I'm pretty happy with what I did yesterday, though. Even vacuumed out the air filter.
    I think I'll probably just organize a few drawers today.
