Happy belated birthday Pert. You and I are close in age. Sounds like you're doing pretty good though. So sorry about your brother. This getting old thing sucks in a lot of different ways. I've lost two sisters now. When..is what I want to know. When did this happen? We were just youngins the other day. My 50 year high school anniversary is coming up. I'm not going. They have all of these different events planned. I don't do July heat. Where, where did the time go? Life happens fast. We're just a speck in time. I need to find you a birthday cake Pert.

Ugh, hubs' 20 year is coming up soon....

No granny. Just stressed, very. And not just about one thing, but about everything. I’m so frickin tired of pretending like everything is okay. But at the same time I feel so dramatic, at least that’s what people keep telling me. “Come on man, don’t be so dramatic” “Stop being so dramatic, ur fine” “You’re just being dramatic, that’s normal” I wish this wasn’t the reality of things, but I am so tired of being tired. So tired of listening to people talk about things they know absolutely nothing about. So tired of the assumptions. So tired of expectations. So tired of not being understood. Idk, guess I just needed to let that out.

Probably gonna need another night walk tonight. Those always seem to help.

ok, Cherry, I'm going to go off the rails here for you. Cause guess what? Your feels, THEY ARE VALID. You are allowed to have things bug you. And you're allowed to have different things bug you, and you know what? I'm going to go completely on a limb here and say YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE THINGS BOTHER YOU AND LET THAT BE KNOWN.
(says I who was the "overdramatic" one - and still am).

You're always welcome to vent on here. We ol biddies will listen, be there for you, and if you want advice we'll offer that too (if we have any) - but if you just want someone to listen, we can do that. Huge hugs to you hun.

That is a gorgeous freaking shot. I miss the Alberta skies, we'd get dramatic clouds like that ALL THE TIME. (yeah, california life is starting to wear on me, can you tell?)

Yes, I'm in the process of moving furniture and cleaning and trying to find a spot for it. I've never done crate training and read that whippets do well. They like a safe quiet spot to themselves. We'll see. At the very least it will be a place to put the pup if I can't watch him... like if I have to use the bathroom or take a shower!

I am a HUGE HUGE fan of crates. Granted, Goose's crate is currently a home for Lucky Chicken, but he's past destructo phase thank gosh. That phase lasted much longer in Peach. But...yeah. Safe space!

In Blue's test kitchen today we made these delightful Breakfast Granola Cookies, essentially a soft chewy oatmeal cookie with unsalted peanuts and raisins, not too sweet. The combination of peanuts (a legume) and oats (a grain) provides a complete protein, making it a good choice for breakfast. Our samplers (BIL and SIL) gave them two thumbs up! DH likes them too and he is not usually fond of desserts and sweets!

Blue, what did I say about posting food without the recipe????? That looks yummy!!!

It does pretty good, but it seems like it's making some retirement sounds. I have probably shot upwards of 15,000 pictures with it. Yes, I take LOTS of pictures just to make sure I get some good ones. I do feel very limited at times though. The camera is a Canon PowerShot SX530 HS.

I had two canon SLR's (one digital). Sadly, had a software issue with the digital one, started giving me the dreaded Error 99. Sigh. Miss the dslr. Really do.

Talk about a dead thread! Where is everyone today?

Sorry granny! Was working! And the weekend I was busy then knocked out flat on Sunday with a freakin migraine. Hubs commented that they always seem to be on a sunday. Well, maybe God's smiting me and forcing me to take the sabbath? I don't know.

Ninja edit. There was also a bunch of OT this weekend trying to get a spreadsheet done for the idiot BossSon. So I sent it over Friday. NOTHING...radio silence until mid today when he contacted the OTHER ADMIN to confirm date ranges (spreadsheet was for an audit). oh yeah, and this is after I had to call him twice and blow up his phone with text messages so he would WAKE THE HECK UP and LOG OUT OF a program so I could update it. No "yep this is what I need" or "looks good" or anything. Last time I spend time doing anything for his donkey. At least I enjoy working with excel spreadsheets. There's something zen about it. (and end ninja edit)

I'll post up a goose pic in a bit when I'm back on my phone - had him occupied with a kong for a bit (seriously, Wishing, grab some wet food, stuff the kong with that and stuff it in the freezer. Keeps them occupied and it's a bit healthier than peanut butter - which don't get me wrong is an awesome treat, buuuut....)

Should do some work in the kitchen for dinner tonight, sous vide maple-rosemary pork tenderloin with apples. Was gonna do some mashed sweet potato with that too since I have a plethera of sweet potatoes for some reason. If it turns out alright, I'll post pics and recipes
