Playing a stupid gacha game only to get mugged by random G/t for a chapter

Wellp!

It took us a while because of the weather, but we got three of our new fruit trees planted and fenced up! (Two honey crisp and one ambrosia)

Now that the apples are in, we've just got our two peaches, and then we'll be done! 🍎🍏🍑

Besides maintaining them, I dunno what my next project should be.

What would you do if you had some property you were allowed to mess around on?

[gt-ridel]

Well, that was the noisiest audience I've ever seen a movie with 😅

[possumsarenice]

Shout everyone else taking the vow of silence today

[gt-ridel]

Very weird.

I've been digging holes in the yard for the last few days, because we're planting fruit trees.

It's been a hugely frustrating task, because the ground here is chock-a-block full of big stones and boulders.

But there is something satisfying about just having one straight forward goal with a visible result. Especially when you can take your time and do it the way you want.

It started raining yesterday, and it looks like it's going to get worse for the rest of the week.

Now I'm stuck inside and I'm getting so antsy, because I can't dig.

What the heck?

I'm not even an outdoorsy person.

I hate bugs, I hate being too hot, and I'm not a huge fan of being dirty.

How did I get addicted to digging holes? That's a thing that can happen??

Crazy bored and unmotivated to do anything (but dig) right now. Bleh.

Of course, one perk about being sick is that you have a free pass to lay in bed and go down as many YouTube rabbit holes as you want.

Latest flash in the pan curiosity: Paramotoring/ultra light aircrafts.

you mean for half the price of a car I could get my own (goofy lookin') flying machine, a full training course, and a licence to fly pretty much wherever I want? 🤨

Just started a project that's going to be VERY long, and will require me to walk at least five miles a day.

I'm only fifteen miles in and BOOM! Struck down by the one two punch of a relentless cold AND the arrival of the odious Aunt Flow.

[gt-ridel]

Well I did one mile. That'll have to do for today.

So I've been on keto for about two months now, and have lost about twenty pounds.

Wonderful!

Except I still get cravings so bad I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind. 😭

I was assured these would be gone by now, but my lord, the things I would do for a bag of jalapeno Doritos right now.

Keto snacks suck. Especially the chocolate ones.

Despite losing weight, I haven't noticed any health changes. No extra energy, no change in the pressure in my head, nothing like that.

In fact, I'd say I feel more lethargic than ever. Though that could just be the seasonal affective disorder.

Ugh, I know I'm going to keep doing this for at least another month, because the doctor says so. And I should continue after. But man, I am not having a nice time. :(

[gt-ridel]

As of today I'm switching to a low calorie rather than low carb diet. I'm tracking the changes and results, and will compare the two diets after a further two months.

I've done low calorie before, and it worked well. But because I had only planned to try it for a month, I just went back to eating normally after and gained it all back. So, the plan is to stick with it longer term this time.

(the doctor said to lose weight, not that it had to be keto specifically)

I was 100% sure I was going to miss Iron Lung, since I live in the middle of nowhere and getting to a theater is a huge inconvenience.

But things worked out, surprisingly, and I went to see it today with my dad! (Who hates horror but wanted to come anyway)

My expectations had been tempered by the non spoiler reviews I saw, and honestly? Both me and my dad really enjoyed it! (Which shocked me! I was sitting there the whole time just thinking, aw man, he must be miserable 😓)

I was predisposed to like Iron Lung, since I love eldritch sci-fi strangeness and would have wanted to see this even if it wasn't a big success story for indi filmmaking.

People said Mark's acting was hit or miss, but since I don't really follow his work on YouTube, I wasn't struggling to separate him and Simon. So frankly, I thought he did a really good job. Especially with his voice.

Yes, I completely agree that some of the scenes could have been edited for better flow. But at the same time, I love me a slow burn, so I enjoyed watching him figure things out as he went.

The radio voices were hard for me, since I already have audio processing issues. So yeah, can't wait to watch this at home with subtitles. 😅

All in all, I really liked it, and it'll be rotating in my noodle for a while. Can completely see why other people would have a miserable time, though.

Four stars out of five.

One star deducted for pacing and audio, which could have been tighter.

I only get the chance to see one or two movies in theaters a year, and I'm not sad this was one of them :)

(last year it was Tron, which I did NOT like. So we're doing better already)

Went to have a routine eye exam on thursday, which turned into an MRI on Friday, and now a spinal tap on Monday. How silly. 🙃

you need to understand that i have two sets of headcanons. there's the set of realistic headcanons based on my genuine reading of the show, and then there's me playing pretend with my dolls.

[crimsonprose]

IT'S AUTISM!!!!

Guys, I am SCREAMING! (hapilly)

Now I know! Now, there are so many resources I can look into! I can ask for accommodations, I can get government help! The psychologist was really great about telling me some of what's available and starting the paperwork and stuff.

I don't have to listen to my imposter syndrome anymore!

I am a late diagnosed autistic woman and now I can finally ease up on the self hatred.

Now I know why I can't keep up with everyone else in some aspects of my life. And I don't have to hate myself for it!

Finally, FINALLY, I can justify giving myself some grace. The mental block has been removed!

I am having a nice taco dinner to celebrate!
