Good morning.
Woke up a little harebrained. I'm drinking a cup of coffee and trying to level out my thoughts.
How's your morning going?
Posted in Russia has officially invaded Ukraine Posted 3 years ago
Most Russians [I assume] don't know about the reward of surrendering in Ukraine. They've become very isolated and cut off from worldwide webs.
The Russian propaganda has most citizens convinced there's nothing to worry about going on in Ukraine. The ones that do know are under threat if they share their knowledge. The Russian tiktokers I follow just announced too, that Russia is trying to block tiktok because of all the "lies of 'invasion'" that is being spread like wildfire. Any russian tiktoker with XXXX amount of followers will no longer be pushed into the algorithm, so they'll be unheard.
Anonymous is trying to spread knowledge within Russia, but I don't know how successful they are.

There are a lot more troops than there are ones choosing to not fight. The future of Ukraine is pretty foggy. Supplies for Russian troops and Ukrainians are shortening. :c
Hopefully, the EU can fast-track the membership of Ukraine so Europe can actually help them more than just giving them tools of war.
none of Nato countries can do anything without the threat of nuclear war with Russia. However, Ukraine invited any trained person to come to Ukraine to help defend. There's a decent number of people flocking to Poland to get into Ukraine to help.

We can only watch at this point and hope they stay strong.

Again- these are totally my own observations, if I'm wrong somewhere- I hope to be corrected.
@Wildfire: I have a delicious chai tea mix at home. But dang, for not having single-cup steepers.
Welp, I just caved and bought a tea-steeper online. That'll show up in a few days.
My husband is the tea person in our family and he usually makes 2-4 cups at a time. He doesn't like my flavors of tea. I love strong-flavored stuff with a bite to it. Gingers, lemons, chai, etc. :3
He's more of a jasmine tea kinda guy.
I hated tea a few months ago, so this just solidifies that I'm growing my husband's clone. -pats the tummy-
@Pelontrix: I need to actually do homework on making home drinks. I really love flavored lattes. D:
Most I do at home is add Cocoa powder to coffee and creamer. basically makes it a mocha.
@Pelontrix: those machines are spendy, unless he's learned a trick that I don't know.which is probable XD
I had an espresso machine for a few years, it broke in one of my moves. -shrugs- never bought a new one.

I started watching Boruto the other day and now I'm addicted. =0
I haven't gotten hooked into an anime for quite awhile.
@Wildfire: My coffee pot has a reusable filter... and I got nothin'.
I totally cheated, dropped the kiddo off at the bus stop and went to our local coffee shop for a chai latte. lol

I've been keeping up with everything. I'm observing, [also the joy of living with veteran guys]
Russia has been posturing for years and years for this invasion. There are rumors that Putin's unwell and he's trying to make Russia better before he passes. [ again rumor]. Rumors also say that Russian troops are low on morale and running out of supplies, like gas and food. There are videos proving some troops interacting with Ukrainians, wanting to not fight.
Then there's Ukraine having access to the Black Sea. They also have notable oil production. Both these things would give Russia more resources.
there's a lot more to this.
Sucks to watch. obviously. :c
@Wildfire: I'm glad you went slightly more daring with your haircut. <3 :D

Good Morning. I'm trying to figure out how to make tea without a one-cup steeper.
I only have a teapot. I don't want a whole pot of tea.
@Wildfire: I don't know what your face looks like, but I do think you can pull off that second hairdo! <3

I'm going to be offline for a bit.
@Wildfire: we bought fencing to replace the crappy wood horse fence around our lot. But yeah, we engaged the neighbor to get a feel for where we should put the fence lining their property. This all came up. and now the line has moved from where the previous owners had assumed they owned. yeah... tis messy.
77*f sounds amazing! <3

I've had all sorts of hairstyles. Short, long-ish, half shaved, dyed. etc.
My favorite which matches 'me', is white/platinum just below my ears and not quite to my neck.


@Pelontrix: Your cat sounds like a Mainecoon or a norwegian forest kitty. <3 I love big fluffy cats!
I only have 3 huskies. They have more personality than most people in my house. XDD
I imagine your family would be alright with you changing up your hairstyle. but then again, I don't know your family. X3
My mom just rolled her eyes at me when I'd go get my hair done in some weird way. -shrugs-
@Pelontrix: lol. I used to live off of mountain dew, I hated coffee and tea.
Then I had a tooth fall apart while I was talking to someone, little pieces of my tooth just trickled into my hand. o_o'
I quit mountain dew and energy drinks that night. XD I had to switch to a new caffeine. I hated coffee, but now I crave it. My tooth is fixed and all that.


@Wildfire: Our property line was wrongly advertised to us. :c so it's going to be a fight with our realtor. :x
I feel you on the dog hair! my huskies are taking turns shedding. The only one not shedding right now is the one that sheds the worst. o_e I'm sure his coat will start shedding soon.
Sounds like you're going to have fun tomorrow though. C:

I keep debating on doing anything with my hair. but.. I know my hormones are a mess right now and I don't want to make decisions while I might not be 100% myself. XDD

I'd like to try. o3o
How bout I attempt a drawing and you tip whatever you feel. I haven't drawn a hamster before, so I don't know how it's going to turn out. cx
But he's Adorable!!! <3
@Wildfire: good Morning.
I should probably switch to tea, coffee isn't tasting good anymore. <.<

Our previous owners built the house right on the property line, sparing no room. The neighbors and my husband assessed the line and it's bad. The 'main' door we use to go in and out of our house- the property line touches it.
So no fence in our future, it seems. This is a mess we'll have to sort out in the next couple years.
The line cuts through our driveway aswell. On the edge, but still, we use those areas as parking since our property was advertised as that space being ours.

Anyway, Good morning. It's a new day. How are you?
@Pelontrix: My household is aggressively loud with huskies, veterans, and kids. I've learned the cope in the last couple of years. XD
growing up, my dad noticed my unresponsive demeanor when there was a lot of noise. So he always had a noise-canceling headset for me. Cx


@Wildfire: OH yes, right. Not great being outside in that. lol! I feel like we had these exact convos last spring. lol

I'm busy today trying to get my property line figured out. Previous owner had some 'grandfathered' in privileges that might f--- us over if we decide to sell. :T
