Something like Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy

I was walking my dog earlier this week and came across a cat that had most likely been killed by a coyote. It was incredibly upsetting to see and completely ruined my day. That cat did not need to live it’s last moments in fear and fighting for its life, if only it’s owners had kept it inside/supervised it when outside.

On a better note. I once saw a woman walking down the street and her cat was just following her along (no leash). It was super cute and you could definitely tell they had a fantastic bond. More cat owners should be like that lady.

I recently started tracking what I was eating for nutrition/weight loss purposes and realized I should be eating way more protein. I’ve tried protein powders in the past (a lot of online recipes for oats recommend adding protein powder) and hate how strongly they are flavored. I saw a lot of diy protein powder recipes have a base of dry milk powder which I already had in my cupboard, so I just use that. It’s fine with the same amount of liquid.

You could just use normal milk instead of milk powder + water, but this was lower calorie and never goes bad.

My current go to for the past few years is oatmeal. I mix oats, dry milk powder, frozen cherries, and water. Then I throw it in the microwave for a few minutes to cook. Once it’s done, I add cinnamon and a handful of chocolate chips and mix it all together. It’s probably not the most healthy option, but it’s tasty and reasonably nutritious.

Honestly, dating apps have always weirded me out so I never used them. I’ve only dated people I met in real life; which, as an introvert, means I haven’t dated many people at all. I’d rather quality over quantity. Every date I’ve been on has lead to a LTR, because we already knew we had chemistry before our first date.

I met my spouse through work. I know lots of people recommend not dating people from your job, and it can be risky, but it worked for us. Of course, my parents have been married for over 40 years and also met at their job, so I guess maybe it’s genetic.

As for what keeps us together? It’s just easy. We like being around each other and work well together, despite our many differences. Life’s better with them in it.

This is not an issue for me. I swipe back and it returns to where I left.

I live in an older neighborhood and at least 50% of every house that has gone on the market since we bought in 2019 has been sold to flippers and listed for $200k more 3-6 months later. I can’t believe how much they have driven up prices in the area.
