GM Nostr friends. Hubs and I decided on an impromptu overnight getaway to beautiful Red Wing, MN yesterday. Had amazing tacos last night followed by rainbow sherbet, and headed out soon for some coffee and pastries before we check out and head to an antique store. Not even 24 hours away from home, but the time with him is everything. 🥰 Have a good Friday, all!

GM Nostr friends. I'm very tired today. Hubby is even tired-er. We just got through the second of two nights of pretty bad thunderstorms here, and Lulu was an absolute mess of shaking puppy. The street in front of our townhouse is a miniature lake today due to the massive amount of rain last night, and the storm drain clogging. Unfortunately, our street leads directly to the hospital down the road, and there are always people who are late for their shift, so they plowed right through it. I felt bad for the cars parked - they've been getting dirty rainwater baths. Going to go drink my coffee and hope I wake up enough to function today.

On my walk this morning, I cam across a dying bumblebee stumbling across the sidewalk. After a little coaxing, I got her to crawl onto my finger. It was obvious she wasn't doing well from the way she crawled across my hand, and I knew she was soon to join the many curled up black and yellow bodies I've been seeing around the neighborhood lately. Couldn't find any good flowers to bring her to, so I got her over to a small rock pile off the sidewalk away from possibly being stepped on. It made me sad to walk away, and I realized I was likely the last living thing she would ever touch. Really makes you think how delicate and fleeting life is.

Very unimpressed with today. My dad tried doing me the favor of taking Lulu in for her groom appointment today, and a guy in the left lane decided they had to take a quick right into a parking lot in front of him and bashed up his left fender. Lu doesn't have a seatbelt in Dad's car, and the impact threw her on the floor. (She's okay.) I went over to sit with Dad at Petsmart and help him file the claim with his insurance (of course the guy that hit him only stopped long enough to see his old boat of a car was fine, and then drove off). Have now spent a few hours trying to get things sorted for Dad as much as I can. Gave Lu part of one of her new treats after we got home, only to have her get up and run around frantically shortly after. I tried taking her outside, but it was absolutely pouring and she would only go back inside. She then proceeds to poop and puke in multiple places on the living room rug. 😒

GM Nostr friends. I must've smacked the back of my left hand hard against something yesterday, because now I have one of those semi-invisible bruises that HURT when I barely touch the knuckle. Ow. Quiet day ahead, I think. Hubby and I went searching for a taco truck last night, but the two that are always in the same spots weren't there. (Figures.) We ended up driving a little further to find a collection of mostly Thai-food trucks and I got some Pad Se Ew. It was delicious. It's super humid out today (I think it stormed big big last night, but my half-awake recall is hazy), and it feels like I have to swim when I go outside. Bleh. Have a good day, y'all.

Figured it was time for a Lu pic. Teef. #Dogstr

GM Nostr friends. I had planned on meeting up with a couple friends for a late breakfast today, but one messaged to day she's having panic attacks and can't join us. I have been praying for her this morning, but not a lot else I can do. Ran out of iced coffee, so I'm finishing off some blueberry pomegranate green tea from Trader Joe's. Not sure if I should eat breakfast or not. Oh well, nothing written in concrete today. Go out and enjoy your Saturday, all!

GM Nostr friends. RAIN! I'm so thankful. It's been a while, and everything has been SO dry around here that I was starting to think I had woken up in California. Lulu hates being wet, so her potty breaks are super fast on rainy days. Bonus for me!

Always look for the rainbow after a storm.

I realize this is just a pipe dream in 2025, but I've been dealing with trying to get an insurance quote for my husband's car and ATV for potentially adding them to my coverage. Man, it would be so nice to have a bitcoin insurance option for vehicles/toys.

GM Nostr friends. Finishing breakfast, watching some @BTC Sessions and chilling with Lu.

GGGGGGGGGGM Nostr friends! It's cloudy and humid, but inside it's a party...wait, no. It's slightly cooler and less humid. 🤪 Happy Friday to all who celebrate. I'm thinking about going back for some more coffee. Got a Citadel Dispatch episode to listen to (why oh why didn't I see the testflight for White Noise earlier?), and some work to be done. Have a good one, y'all.

Got my bitaxe delivered today. Made a couple typos with the wifi, but got it running and pointed at the ckpool. Feeling accomplished. 😎

GM Nostr friends. I stumbled onto @plebdevs.com yesterday, and the tab to begin the starter course has been sitting open in my browser since then. A little nervous to take the plunge, but I have ideas of things to create and I don't think I'd be able to vibe code with AI yet. Wish me luck!

My brother in law has chickens, and a neighborhood fox has taken out half them, so he put a trap out...and caught their German Shepherd Maddie instead. Poor girl!

Church under the tent this morning was really good. Perfect breeze and tons of people.

GM Nostr friends. Finishing off my coffee as I browse online for a bit. Hubs recently taught me how to play Phase 10, and I found a Snoopy-themed version online that's pretty great. Wearing a dress today, which feels odd. This whole month my church is doing outdoor service, so I figured I better go as light as possible. I hate being hot!

Total FOMO about not being able to contribute to today's #BLOCKPARTY other than through a direct buy, so I just bought my first Bitaxe! Thanks @Solosatoshi.com 🇺🇸 !
