Overview

Happy Wednesday! I'm just home from a trip to the Bulk Barn. Bought some stuff, like pecan halves, vanilla, cinnamon, milk choco chips, glacé cherries, dates, cashew and hazelnut butters, and mincemeat. Now gonna do some knitting. Hope you all have a good day.

You're welcome here anytime. You don't need to be in 'good' mood if you're not. You're welcome here...period. xo

Thank you ❤️

Wishing something great comes your way soon, B.

Thank you.❤️

The Florida job market is hard. I understand where you are at and I'm hoping it turns around for you soon. You're allowed to feel frustrated, depressed, angry and whatever other emotions want to take seed. Something is out there with your name on it. Your perseverance will pay off. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

Thank you, tim. Sorry for being a Debbie Downer in your club. I'm just needing thoughts and prayers, and encouragement because those resources are at an all time low right now.

ah, my friend, i'm so sorry things are hard for you right now. i will keep you in my thoughts and hope for better things. xoxox 💗

I want to rant and rage so bad right now. But, I am trying to find my inner peace, and practice Grace and Gratitude. Applications - close to 450 since 8/1/26. Interviews - 20 mostly initials, but 3 2nd round Offers - 1 but was reminded before starting as it was grant funded and the Nonprofit lost the grant Government Help - nothing Uber Rideshare - just barely keeping me fed, and a few bills paid.

In case you missed this @lawfulneutralmage is ready to post his next, most excellent story on Oct. 31. Don't miss it.

Thanks everyone! It's good to be back too.

Happy 10th GA-versary @Brayon

Glad you're still here.. and yes, a special thank you to the boss for sure. And congrats for 10 years!! 🎉

10 years on this site. Going and coming back as the AuDHD takes me. Lots of people on this site keep me coming back, but it's tim, Mike, Reader, Wayne, Kbois, Kitt, molly, and the rest of you DiC'ers that makes this place special. Thank you, tim and the rest of you for 10 years here. And a special thanks to @Myr for keeping the lights running and the hearth fire burning for us to gather in this place of storytelling.

Very good blog, tim. Thanks for sharing that. Day-old bread and donuts was a staple growing up. Also, bakery outlet stores where we could buy Hostess and Nature's Own stuff at discount cause when they were still good, they were passed the sell by date for guaranteed freshness. I think I might try to find a bakery outlet tomorrow.

So, groceries got...i managed to NOT buy donuts cuz they were already 3 days old. Remember the old days when old donuts cost less? Do these? Nope not at all. So I got stuff from our list, qualified for the 10% off of fruit and veg you buy. Yay. Paid over $10 for 4 apples. They cost more than meat. However, ground pork was $1.99 per pound, so yes bought a batch of that for the freezer. I came home and baked oatmeal squares and a lemon blueberry loaf... so someone besides me will be happy about that. Now, I have a cardigan to continue to work on. The back is done, now starting on the front panels. 🧶 Hope you're all having a good and productive day.

I added a new blog today....topic: Aphantasia. I've mentioned this before, but it's come up again in my life, so i did a bit of research and thought i'd write something about it.

I may have to work it in at some point. Real life goals right there.

Most winners are the male bears. But... once, a female won. The reason given was hilarious. "She had not mated, so she was cubless. She could concentrate on job number one, and that was getting fat. And boy, did she pull that off. She had a single-girl summer, living her best life."

If not it should be!

Is that a character in your next story 😆

I saw an article about fat bear week in Alaska. Apparently they have a contest to name the fattest bear. This one didn't win, but I think he should have just because of his name: Honky Chonk Beardonkadonk. I think I've found my new spirit animal. 😂 Have a good day everyone!
