I recorded this quite certain we wouldn’t win the Hugo Award for the Good Omens tv series. I was wrong. Last night, we won the Hugo. This one is for Terry.

And done! This was much easier than my last #jigsawpuzzle. ½ the pieces, of course, but also only one piece shape - 2 out & 2 in, each opposite their mate - & clear lines between windows creating internal edges. @eurographicspuzzles #1000pieces https://www.instagram.com/p/CCR3cUHn0Oh/?igshid=djh23u69gkv9

Looks like I'm already about 3/4 done with this puzzle - the rectangular sections have made it a lot easier to do than I'd expected. Stopping now so I have some to do tomorrow. 😊 @eurographicspuzzles @europuz #eurographicpuzzles #1000pieces #jigsawpuzzle https://www.instagram.com/p/CCP7OuqH0cV/?igshid=b451kamspl8d

So, another pic of the berries from yesterday plus the bark. I think the "cherry" suggestions were correct. The tree isn't that far from our home and we never noticed it had fruit before! We just assumed it was an ornamental like all the others nearby. #cherrytree #fruit #cherries #sourcherries(?) #thingsyoufind (at Port Moody, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB1RFhXnqjE/?igshid=1nk895b01tn3x

Remember that puzzle I started back in January? It kind of got covered with daily detritus and miscellany over March and has been sitting, ignored, as a result. We did a thorough clean and tidy last weekend so I've been able to get at it again and have completed most of the river and rocks. Going to work on grassy sections next. #puzzle #jigsawpuzzle #2000pieces #2000piecepuzzle #buffalopuzzles https://www.instagram.com/p/CBGqGBNng8z/?igshid=yzzmjiqn2orz

thoughts on the friendzone

[TRADUCCIÓN ESPAÑOLA] (thanks a ton, krissyraawr!)

—

when i was 5 years old my best friend was a boy named kyle who didn’t know how to knock on doors so he made dinosaur noises outside my window to wake me up in the summer until i demonstrated how to ball his fists and slam them against my doors.  we collected caterpillars in my trailer park and built them houses while we traded pokemon cards.  he wasn’t the only one.  there was ben, and mitch, and noah–but kyle’s the only one who hurt me, because when he tried to kiss me and i asked him why, he told me “because you’re a girl and i’m a boy, shouldn’t we like each other?”

i missed him so much and i wondered why he couldn’t just be my friend like he always was

(Not that he's really a "kid" any more but this has been his tradition since he was little. It is usually in bed but we've misplaced our "lap tray" (it has short legs that fold down from underneath). #mothersday #mothersdaybreakfast #foodporn #ilovemyson https://www.instagram.com/p/CAA4nciHjAw/?igshid=1x6szvxllsf7x
