Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It's snowing here. Good thing tomorrow's a holiday so we can dig our cars out.

Thrive to spite them

We didn't lose power! I think there was more snow than they thought there would be but not as much rain and icy conditions. It helped that a lot of the snow was dry fluffy snow and not wet and heavy. Although stuff could still happen.

Scrappy the cat is still missing. I did take one of the pet cave things and a spare sheet out to the shed, I put it in a plastic container and left some food out there. Didnt see him but hopefully he will try to get back there to be dry and find it. Or some other animal will use it. can't believe I thought he wouldn't freak out and run away when he felt the snow.. I thought he'd run into the house not away from it. I'm assuming he will come home soon.

And Scrappy is back! He was in the shed meowing loud enough for Matthew to hear him on the porch. And I went and tried to tempt him to me with treats and he finally got close enough and head butted my hand and I grabbed him. He was calm and happy until we started getting to the porch and then he freaked out. I tried to give him some canned cat food (usually he wants some when he comes in) but he doesn't seem interested the silly cat.

Yay not-missing cat!!

I went on a long walk with a friend and my dog, which was nice (also nice because my back wasn’t hurting) and then played VR games with my sister from across the country, which was also cool. I’m very glad to have tomorrow off.

I decided to do a taco bar, I think, because I already have a lot of ingredients? And then will have extra salad so the keto person can put it on salad. Unless I change my mind, because now I’m like “mmmm, salmon….”

Taco bar sounds fun!

Ick. Vacation day or no, do not like being awake in the middle of the night because my stomach is unhappy! Boooo. Good thing I don’t have anything to do today (!) but clean and cook.

Yuck, meara. I hope you're feeling better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, hope you are better in the morning, meara! And ready for a taco bar. Now I want a taco bar.

I think I gave up around 530, I just couldn’t get comfortable, and will hope for a nap later. Still haven’t gotten out of bed, mind you, but have been awake. Will eventually get up and make coffee and whatnot.

Cereal:

Taco bar is fun! I have done it a few times for breakfast tacos, which is great—can be vegan/veg/gluten/dairy free as needed. Plus I use it as an excuse to make quick pickled onion which is tasty but I never remember to eat when it’s in my fridge otherwise.
