She’s sooooo cute! And she’s beautiful! What a love! Give her smooches for me!

Tried a new recipe this evening: baked salmon cups with an avocado dip! They came out really nice, definitely keeping this recipe in my journal.

It’s snowing again.
I knew it was going to happen and all but what the fuck 😭
I don’t want to shovel anymore.

We’re being told we’re getting another coating to an inch of snow tomorrow, a coating to two inches on Friday, and another storm to dump another foot or two next week.

This is going to be very interesting 😵‍💫

Quick little before and after of the blizzard ^_^ I think I posted the second picture already but I forgot I got a before picture knowing this was going to be a thing.

Wow. Yeah broke records down here on LI too, 26-29” across the land. Still working on digging out.
Stay safe!

That was more indicative of the wind, blew a bunch of snow on my front door like that. Thankfully the snow on the ground right out the door wasn’t too high, I could open it…
My walkways and driveway are another story 😅

Share a TV show that raised you.

It sucks - Saturday it was feeling like spring, sunny and a bit warm, was just starting to see bits of my lawn again after a month… and we get hit with a historic blizzard 😭 and it’s going to snow more later in the week

I always look forward to cherry blossom season ^_^ *looks at the nearly 60 some-odd centimeters of snow outside* though… I guess over here I’m going to be waiting a bit longer 😅

The snow isn’t that high just the wind blew a bunch onto my door. I can still open it but I have to get out there like, now 😅

😳
….. so, uhm…. That’s a problem.

Roasted up some salmon with sesame oil, brown sugar, orange juice, and honey - just a little. Treated it the same as tuna, and mostly the result is the same ^_^ I still need to work on my rolling technique, and maybe plate presentation lol

All righty, I did the scheduling as best I could… I dunno I guess because of the storm I’m a little… I dunno, lost? It’ll do for now. Gonna curl up on the couch with the kitty snd hopefully work on the blanket.

Just need to finish the scheduling, but kitty has demanded snuggles and I’m waiting for lunch to arrive. Then will need to wait for this historic blizzard that’s supposed to hit. Fun stuff!

Early start and another small task list, at least for now. Safe to say the storm will knock out work tomorrow, can’t wait for that phone call lol
But yeah I have to make sure things are set. Woke up feeling kinda awful so that’s concerning (mostly back hurts), so… guess we’ll see how this goes.

So cute!!!!🥰

Certainly got a lot done, but would be further along if I didn’t have certain… distractions.
…. he’s lucky he’s cute.

Task list for today.
Shorter than my usual for a few reasons - have a family event, want to finish the cross stitch I’m working on, and need to prep for a blizzard that will dump 2 feet (61 centimeters) of snow.
This should be fun 🙃

I think I made another nice lunch ^_^ Also a molded hard-boiled egg for a snack!

ありがとうございます😊🌻

Thank you. I’m not usually so good at putting these together in a way that they look pretty, it’s usually just practical lol

One of these days I’ll cook for you ^_^

Made a nice lunch today ^_^ nearly cost me my sanity but it got done!

It’s been a while since I made maki. These came out tasty, but I think I can do better in the amounts and balance the ingredients a little better.

Oh and PS I found out that some of the crazy seeming safety measures my principal put into place is likely to help try to keep the neo-gestapo out. They didn’t say so directly, but… it makes sense. While that’s awesome, it’s also scary.

So, that’s what I’ve been dealing with.
I miss the Undertale fandom, I miss my friends, I miss writing. I miss feeling like I meant something, like I mattered even in a little tiny way.
I know it’s a phase, a moment in time, and it will pass, it just really fucking sucks.

For the whole week I’ve been having the same anxiety symptoms I had two years ago where it’s a fun game of “am I having a heart attack and going to die like they did or is it anxiety and pushing too hard at work/karate?”
Meanwhile I can’t get an appointment with my regular doctor to find out.

I try not to trauma dump over here too much, but things are really rough.
Therapist said I have PTSD. I’m in the “I didn’t go through anything that horrific!” camp. Meanwhile for at least a full hour today my brain kept saying “your family is dead & you’re all alone,” over & over, so… you tell me.

Just keep at them. If anyone can make them go from wild to mild, it’s you! 🌻
