Okay, yep, that’s it, I give up - I’m turning off replies as the default for people I don’t follow. Sorry, lovely people I haven’t met yet, but I can’t take the drive-by replies from people who seemingly have no reading comprehension explaining my own post to me. Or worse, fighting me over it.

I dunno, it might belong in a museum for future generations

Learning measurement

Wine glasses and books are really hard to draw fyi

Yes! I've had it for a couple of weeks but didn't have anything to use it on lol

But I made homemade pizza today - two 16' ones to freeze for lunches, so I used it to make 2 slice packages. My husband is so excited lol The man loved labeled leftovers 😅

Dear @mostlybree.kitrocha.com

I am now in possession of the vacuum sealer.

MY HUSBAND FOUND MY MINI ART KIT THAT HAS BEEN MISSING TWO MONTHS

...my steam deck charger is missing 😭

I'll ask if the eye drops are a good match for me, but I have to be very careful with pill-based medications, even if OTC in other countries. Looking at the side effects, chances are that'll be a no go for me in pill-form.

Yes.

That.

That's what I want.

My mother's Pentecostal funeral had a twentyish minute sermon about how we're all going to hell, which was not as comforting as one might think as you're watching your own mother's funeral on facebook live due to a global pandemic.

full mass weddings and funerals are always a gamble, bc some priests are wildcards when it comes to the sermon

Bride just apologized for the Nazi talk at the reception and I don’t feel like any woman should have to do that on her special day

chat why is this priest talking about genocide at a wedding

One last stroll through the haunted woods - I love the way labradorite with vertical stripes looks like sunlight through the trees.

A cat bed. there's a cat laying in one direction, and another on top, clearing pinning her to the cat bed, with a look of satisfaction.

I heard pained kitty sounds, came running, and found this.

(yes, my bed is still covered in plastic because I am still not caught up on laundry and someone peed on the bed last night (well, on the plastic)

I swear to god, Paula - anything can cause it. ANYTHING.

I never had this before I moved to Edmonton and, since here, I've been battling allergies all year around and it makes no sense.

As soon as I go back home? Boom gone.

I don't blame you!
THE WORST

Bepreve works like 95% of the time! It's just as soon as I cross a threshold it's like full blown pink eye suddenly omg

I haven't had Tobradex in ages; maybe I should switch back to trying that over the fucithalmic.

oh ZADITOR! I had that before. I think I was only allowed to use it for five days at a time?

...that might've been a steroid.

Who knows at this point. I WILL ASK

I'll keep it on the list tho when I try to book in the eye specialist early to see if he can hook a girl up

That dog clearly wished a motherfucker would.

Rx only too but looks like it's not backordered but hard to get because of the other one being off the shelves omg lol

I just checked and I'm due to see my eyeball specialist in November anyway, so sigh I guess I'll call tomorrow and ask if I can book early.

As @trickweekes.bsky.social can attest, the parking there is *awful* so I suppose if I can get in before the snow, all the better.

Sometimes, it's good to ask to make sure you've not gotten anything (in this case, I hadn't, but also I should clean my air and humidifier filters)

FUSIDIC ACID INTO THE EYEBALL SWEET FUCK THIS BURNS

...I'm gonna need to go back to the doctor because this is the second time this year I've used this and the more you use it, the less it works sob
