Friend of mine said that they allowed international trading during some event earlier this year.

Is that true?

S'probably my one reason for not playing - I want to trade globally.

He's happy now, cause I ate something.

So many times, I want to post more about my philosophical stew pots of thoughts in regards to the human condition and existence.

But, I don't. Because I don't trust people.

I also feel like it's all common knowledge/the world already knows somehow and I just missed the memo 😕

Humankind does not get to finalize what the definitions of intelligence, self-awareness, and sentience are.

Why give people more of a reason to think/believe I am crazy?

Why not? They're already judging, why not lean in to it?

Besides, it doesn't bother me. It's not a me problem. It's a them problem.

There's worse things. Remember that.

I'm fine in comparison.

Tis drivin' babe bonkers, because I've been doing this for the past few hours. And nothing comes of it.

He just rolls his eyes now 😆

Giggling at driving this poor little man bonkers 🤭

I'll walk in to the kitchen, set on finding something to eat. Open big cupboard. Nothing I want in there. Open other cupboard. Nothing. Freezer. Nothing. Fridge. Nothing.

There is something SPECIFIC I am hunting for, and I can't find it/remember.

OH, forgot to say -

I get people handle cold temps diff. Like, if this person is from a much colder place, 20 likely aint shit!

But, if they are a kid - I'm always concerned that maybe they don't have cold weather clothes or have neglectful parents. Or they don't understand the dangers.

Same.

I used to leave my place more and go for walks.

Not so much anymore. Lots of shit been going on around here.

Well, I began this journey knowing that the weather was going to change and the ground to freeze.

I was ready for this challenge, even with my tiny spoon!

I figured, grounds frozen, less chance of a cave in! :D

But, more chance of flooding/cave ins if the weather suddenly says, HI, 80 TODAY!

2// And, even though I am from - as in, born and raised - midwest US, where we are used to cold;

I have been out of my element for a while LOL

Plus, I have one of many ailments that afflicts mortalkind in ways that make it hard for me to regulate body temp, so I struggle with cold/hot temps.

1// I lived in the SF Bay area of central CA some years back, and I finally got a taste of CA cold. I used to tease some of my online friends from there about how they think 40/45 is freezing.

Now I know why! (Though, it still wasn't as cold to me)

I'm sure NY cold would be worse than CA cold.

Oh.....there's more. I don't have pictures for all the other stuff (or maybe I do but don't remember).

And that's just my unit. The tenants that just moved out have their own nightmares.

But there's so much more.

2// He understands the stress thing, even though it still bothers him, because it's clearly not healthy if I'm not eating.

What he struggles with more, is not understanding that - now that I have all this stuff, I can't decide WHAT I want to eat.

So I won't until I do. 😅

My poor baby 🤣
🤟💜~ 😘💚

1// My Love is not happy with the fact that I have not eaten all day. And, he has playfully scolded me by way of saying that our cupboards are now fully stocked to the brim with food - I have no excuse to not eat.

I'll just pretend they are from like, Finland or Norway or something where 20°F feels like 80°F, and they go swimming when it's minus "everything goes from being an outie to an innie" degrees cold out.

It's currently 25°F out, with a "feels like" of 20°F.

Just glanced out my window and saw what appeared to be a junior high/high schooler (could have been a young looking adult) walking across the street with no coat.

Like, skinny jeans, short sleeve t-shirt, long scarf hung loosely. Not hat/coat.😐

(The 'someone was shot there' is not part of the parody narrative. It's a fact. Gas station a few block from where I live.)

SAME

2// I am currently debating my life choices, and think that it would be an infinitely better idea to wait to continue my digging until spring, or maybe summer (underground will be nice and cool).

I rather like this tiny spoon, and don't want to break it.

1// Well...

That gas station I told you about? The one that I attempted to steal the snow shovel from?

There was a shooting there this week.

May explain their overreaction to a rando popping out the tile floor in the bathroom, and attempting to steal their shovel.

I'd appreciate it.

Also. Nothing against you at all, I just gotta share the thought that came in to my head when you said that.

Many people have said that very same thing. I can count on one hand the number of times people have followed through.

Wouldn't even need all my fingers.

I'm not sure. I would initially say no, but, they just moved in and I don't think they realize just how thin the walls are and how much I can hear. So, I can't wholly blame them.

Turning on my own music and turning it up loud did seem to elicit them to turn their shit down a bit, though.

3// They may eventually come to fix, but, it takes for fucking ever. And they don't communicate and it's a inconvenience.

But, how I have been treated by a couple of their maintenance guys - especially the one....

It's why I don't like calling them unless I absolutely have to.

2// - when they broke, like the one bathroom light fixture over my mirror (have pics of that, too). The towel rack when it fell off my bathroom wall, the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink...

Because, when I DO call for other shit - like the major shit - they don't fucking care.

1// I have a feeling that, when I leave - the management company is going to attempt to sue/blame me for a lot of shit that's not only not my fault - but way beyond being anything I could have caused.

The reason I think this, is - there's a few things that I did not call them for initially -

Forgot to state, I put my hand on the wall - and my hand went THROUGH the wall....

3// An up close look at the "behind the scenes" before it was fixed (of which I have no video or pictures of further progress, sadly).

ALL THE MOLD!

If my bathroom is like this, I'm sure the other bathrooms on my floor, and especially below, are as well.

I hate it here.

I can't afford to move.

2// I will not go through the fucking nightmare it was to get someone here to fix it, and how much MORE of a nightmare it was once they started.

However, this was the result after he pulled down all the shit needing replaced.

The structural integrity of this building concerns me very much.

1// Da da dun! I give you, Apt Adventures!

Once upon a time, I was taking a shower. As I am not an octopus with multiple limbs, nor do I possess the supernatural ability balancing rocks have - I used my wall as an anchor point when I went to clean the bottoms of my feet.

This is what happened.
