Doing this on my phone so not quoting separately or trying to write in norsk   A friend randomly decided to learn and said it was one of the easiest languages for an English speaker to learn. Since I'm definitely of Scandinavian decent I thought it would be fun. And now my mom, youngest sibling and I are planning on going to Norway next year.   I'm liking the course so far, but I definitely need other resources. I'm decent at reading and writing (within the vocabulary I've learned so far) but garbage at listening or speaking. And I need more guidance on rules.   I haven't seen those stories yet, I'll have to check them out. Thanks for telling me about them!   I finally feel like I'm not completely overwhelmed at life. My old job was a huge energy suck with insane busy seasons. But I'm also kid-free and mostly work from home, I don't know how some people do it with extra family obligations 

a. What'd you end up playing?  b. Is it possible to bring your own chair?  c. you're a badass.     Nope. Laura literally stayed home from a funeral yesterday for the same reason.     Mood.     a. I support both wolves as they chase their dreams. And their tails. b. Preeach!! Vintage shops were designed for tiny people. Sumbitch.     Sign, StS, seriously?? You can't brag about an epic bead horde and then not show off the best find from the grave goods!! 

Thanks. It would have been an hour plus of standing guaranteed. For me, on a bad day (like today). Even 10 mins of standing is a big ask.   I did have a pair of heavy noise cancelling loops. Can i find the dratted things? Of course not. It is like they have evaporated into the either or something. So annoying.   Thanks 😄  my wolves are more hippy/surfer style vs edgy asymetric cut vaguely metal looking style. So yes, my jewellery hoard is very eclectic. Refinding my style clothing wise is an ongoing project for this year as im able to fit back into more of my wardrobe and have come to the conclusion that many things in there werent me any more. Getting nice clothes when you have your own style round here is a bit complicated though. Much charity shop diving is currently the ongoing plan. At some point i will b able to actually fit into vintage stuff as there are many lovely vintage shops round here. But right now that is a no go . i do actually have a single lampwork bead on a leather thong i wear on and off. Its by a local glasswork artist and looks like a tiny planet (think, jupiter, but in blue/green). 

Yesterday was physically very hard and there just wasn't much steam left after I got home   Plan for after work yesterday   Go home✔️ Feed cats✔️ Shower✔️ Shred and portion chicken Have salad with shredded chicken for dinner Prep to cook food in morning     Today is likely to be physically taxing too,  But tomorrow is Chair day! I need to clear the place for it so it can be placed upon delivery.   Plan after work today Get Maggie from hospital and take her home Go home Feed cats Shower Make space for chair Shred and portion chicken  

Yesterday was a blue day - always is when I wfh after having a very social weekend. I've also failed to make any plans this week as I had so much going on at the weekend so I'm going to a friend's tomorrow eve. I'm interviewing the next three days so I'll be wfh as it's difficult to interview in the office, so I'm seeing someone in the eve. Back on track with food, run, cycle, physio, darebee, weights and walking to pilates. Even got to bed and read for 15mins - slightly past 11pm but wanted to get to a sensible place to stop!   Yesterday: 🥗 10pts 💧 5pts 🏃‍♀️ 10pts 🚲 5pts 🚶‍♀️ 5pts 🦵 5pts 🐝 5pts 🧘‍♂️ 5pts 🏋️‍♀️ 5pts 📚 15pts (YASS chonky points) Total: 465pts   I did not get offered the internal promotion job so I guess I'm leaving for a side step then! I guess nice that I don't have to make the difficult decision but annoying as I definitely would have been great at that job. Ah well, their loss.

It can be hard to go the "other way" yes. It is an amazing movie and while they didn't land the movie actors for the TV Show (obviously) they did a great job casting actors that were really close. I think Marvel has us spoiled with using the same cast between the TV Shows and Movies in their "multi-verse".

Thank you! Appreciate it   It ended up being a phone discord date or hangout lol.  He was able to geek out over The Thing. Shocked I never been told about this moving especially since I used to study social sciences (this would 100% been a good movie for a team communication report).  I found my brain melted at one point because i realized it's been awhile since I chatted with someone that long and deeply.  He also ended up buying me Stardew Valley, so I will be getting a gaming area setup in my living room. I have a desk I got for free last December that is perfect for a standuo situation (and buying a desk treadmill...). 

Oooh - my sister has an air fryer, but we've barely done anything with it because we never think of it until we're halfway through cooking. Might have to toss a couple burgers in there as a test run.

You have inspired me to tackle my personal email. I have...way too many unread messages, but fewer than I had yesterday, and I created folders for emails I'm hanging onto for now, and I've unsubscribed from several lists. It feels good. I forget that digital clutter can have some of the same effects as physical clutter, even though it doesn't take up any space.

Yesterday was a good day. My horses were very cooperative for the farrier, so it was a quick and easy job and netted me 20 Aid points. Also treated a bit of rust on my truck (very temporary fix, but also a very cheap fix) so that's a Mending point. Early sunrise means I've been getting up without too much difficulty, so Light points are coming in. And at long last...I finished staining! Picture taken with one section left to show off how pretty the grain pops with the stain on.   Technically I have a tiny bit left to do, those windows need the black caulk applied, then a 2 inch brush to finish the very inside edges of the frames. My ladder stabilizer is in, so hoping over my long weekend to finish the windows and start closing in the eaves, but there's also rain in the forecast, so we'll see. At least with the eaves, I can work on that in between rain showers if needed. The annoying thing about staining is I can't do it if there's a chance of rain, and last Saturday for example, I skipped staining because there were storms in the area, but none of them actually hit us, so I could have done it. But oh well, so it goes, and it's done now!!!    Also picked lots of raspberries yesterday. It has been an excellent year for them, we've made muffins and pies and I'm just eating them by the handful as I pour them into my smoothies. My mom and I have both been picking, but last night's the first time we synchronized enough to be out at the same time, and I got a lot more picking done because when it's just me I get bored and wander away, but since I was partially just keeping her company, I was a lot more thorough and now we have 2 more quarts of berries and I think I'm going to look up a recipe for raspberry sauce that we can spoon onto ice cream or pancakes or waffles or basically anything becomes a vector for raspberries at that point.   Working out at lunch today (this new Vampirate I'm facing has 4 Shadows, so hoping to start whittling that number down) then having dinner with my sister.
