I had a cat growing up I taught how to use handles. He could use lever ones. Never got use to circular ones or very heavy doors (like to the outside). Cats are resourceful!

Maybe that would have been helpful when my doctors office closed suddenly (permanently) on a Friday last year and I’ve spent the entire time until now just trying to get a primary doctor again that wasn’t an hour away. Whenever I call its “Sure, here’s 50 numbers for an endodontist that does retreats!” none of those numbers do that

Husband’s mother renovated the kitchen in the 90s and made it for her height. Which is my height. So that’s really nice. It also has a lot of electrical outlets which is nice.

Eey, I make apple butter! It’s great. I do know some places you can buy it though…roadside stands! Farmer stalls or markets. Though those may be more common here, being the garden state. Still better making it at home, get to pick the apples and how much you let it cook down!

Ooo thanks for reminding me to get more pickles! I like pickles, but also clementines or cold grapes.

I am sitting on a blanket on the lawn under the weeping willow tree. Mother comes out, a surprise. She’s holding a plate and hands me two things of matza pizza and says she made me some. I thank her and she goes back inside. I am munching the matza pizza.

Cheese in general. Chocolate as well. Clean water is a necessity, but I guess hot water on demand? While I like eating beef and chicken I probably wouldn’t be that sad overall if it went away.

Many many things! Notably though: having anything on my hands (I cook and bake by stocking paper towels and an empty sink and reminding myself constantly I can stop and wash at any time), anything too tight clothing wise (this is so much stuff it sucks), strong perfumes, the scent of peanut butter, feeling a glass that has not been cleaned (it feels ugly)

I will cook some Cornish game hens, asparagus with garlic, mashed potatoes with garlic, maybe bread rolls. Dessert will be eggnog and chocolate peppermint cookies.

The year we all got the flu, probably, and threw up homemade tiramisu.

But it was only that. We don’t celebrate the holidays that heavily, me being Jewish. The most this year will be I’ll make the three of us some Cornish game hens as a treat.

But I love Lambchop!

It is a horrible earworm, very true.

Edit - Aww, not the Lambchop version.

I make cookies or canned jams, jellies, candied jalapeños. Edible so they will not clutter forever.

One is cute and fluffy, one has seen into the void and hates reality.

I liked reading all those books! Never got to play in World of Darkness though. Unless you count Exalted as part of it.

Which I did. I know they changed the lore to unconnect the two settings but I liked they were connected.

Oh wait no! I played one session of Werewolf. I was a hacker wolf. I had a hacker spirit.

Everything that has yarn.

Yarn just seems to take over a home everywhere I’ve seen it.

I’m sorry, there’s ufo shit over nj? Hell, guess I should look outside.

I’d call this house small, compared to the childhood home, which was two stories and 3 bathrooms. This is one bathroom, one story.

I prefer here? Less to take care of, smaller, can find my husband easily and it doesn’t feel empty.

I do miss multiple bathrooms. Three people and one bathroom, sadness.

Currently having to deal with finding an endodontist that does retreats, so finding a good one in the first place is the pain.

The procedure itself is whatever.

But I am on Xanax when they do they, otherwise I’m not allowed inside a dentist office.

26C would make me wake up so hot I’d be vomiting I think

We’re usually at 67F at night, 68 to 70F during the day, but I’m baking so the extra 2 degrees from 68 to 70 is usually from the oven.

It was almost always male doctors being the most needlessly aggressive and condescending to me.

Female nps were generally okay.

They’re all human beings, and do human being things. Unfortunately? Maybe humans are a mistake and we should try over being dogs with opposable thumbs now.
