It's going okay. Tuesday was very difficult for me due to some sad dreams that just set the course for the rest of my morning. I'm very lucky to work a job where I'm able to take off if I need a mental health day, so I took advantage of that at wife's insistence. Yesterday was better, and today is "fine" so I'm just looking forward to the weekend now. Haven't worked out this week so I'm going to make sure to do something today, but the after-work walks with wife help get us moving and transition into a calmer evening, so it's not a total wash, exercise-wise. The plan for today is listen to music that makes me happy, drink more water, no alcohol, and carry on.
The living room here has an ornamental equine vibe—lit by a horse lamp, wall adorned with images of horses—except for the bookshelf, where what might have been a cowboy hat has been replaced by a Trump hat. Martha Chansley doesn’t subscribe to cable television. She believes that the buffalo is a “mystic” animal. When a reporter and camera crew from FOX 10 Phoenix descended on her house after her son had been taken into custody, she noted another mystical bond, this one with Donald Trump: “We are a part of him, and he is a part of us.”
I don't have much to add other than just how fascinating this is to me. It's just so interesting seeing how/why people end up believing this sort of thing, that crunchy-to-alt-right pipeline is real. Hell, I read Be Here Now and played TOOL on repeat back in high school in the Deep South, this could have easily been me. "Yeah man, turns out 'my shadow' is referring to Jungian psychological principles about about your self conscious and..."
Thank you Lally, I really do appreciate that. It has helped me heal greatly. As odd as this sounds, I feel lucky that it occurred during the end of winter. So as the world begins to show a return to life and color, my own little world is doing the same :) I actually have some plants of hers that I'm tending to now. So many snake plants to propagate!
My wife and I made a deal that I have to bring the dog when I go anywhere that sells plants, just so I can’t carry as many to the register.
Now I'm just imagining a dog in a cart covered in grocery store ferns 😄 but that's a great compromise!
Balcony gardener here. Had a death in the family so my garden was neglected unfortunately, but it's bouncing back (as am I). My cabbages aren't as big as they were last year, likely because I used slightly smaller pots and let them wilt too often, but wife should be able to turn them into kraut for sausage dogs. We did that last year and ended up with a pretty decent jar-full, which was pretty cool.
This year I over-wintered my peppers for the first time, and they're starting to bounce back so I'll probably transfer them to larger pots soon. I'm already looking forward to watching them come in :) they're my favorite plants to grow. I have shishito peppers, snack peppers, cayenne, jalapeno, and dragon roll peppers. I like my peps!
Mint is looking okay, it's coming back after being neglected, but it's basically a weed so I'm not really worried. I'll have to buy more basil starters, I didn't prune it well and it didn't survive being over-wintered.
This is all on top of the usual annuals and ivy and ferns and such. It's basically impossible for me to go to the grocery store without bringing home whatever discount plant I find, lol. I don't have too much room to work with, but I'm doing some vertical gardening as well by mounting shelves to put smaller pots on. It looks good from the street too. I get compliments when I'm out there, and it always makes my day :D
I had blood tests recently and also tested for higher levels of potassium. Turns out it's one of the more common false positives, my second test came back fine. So hopefully that makes your weekend a little less stressful!
Found this website thanks to a comment on another site, so that's pretty cool. Still trying to figure out what the Fediverse is, but since it's defederated, I guess that doesn't matter?
Wife and I are on week two of our daily walks (barring the weekend, we are lazy) and I've been keeping up with a few exercises in between, and that's been encouraging. I've always been cleaning more and have just generally been more on top of things since the funeral. I do need to read this manga I bought and this cool black horror anthology comic, but they're not going anywhere.
If I recall correctly, the in-game explanation is that a former emperor-turned-god transformed the landscape to what we see in Oblivion. Guy basically used console commands lol.
Personally, I like the world in Oblivion. I always thought that people didn't give it enough credit, with the various environment biomes like the swamps and tundra areas. I also love the cities so much. Leyowin has this middle ages New Orleans vibe that I just love!
