GM Nostr friends. It's Tuesday, the birds are chirping, and I'm finally no longer sore from moving furniture this past weekend. (Oof.) Not a ton going on around here. I'm getting the final worrisome mole excised this morning off my left thigh, so excited to be almost done. Hubby's mom let us have their solid oak headboard and side cabinets, which we moved into our bedroom this past weekend. (Hence the soreness and various scratches getting that monstrosity up the stairs.) We finally have a grown up bedroom - what a difference from the headboard I had used since I was in middle school! Started doing some reading into the whole intermittent fasting process/way of life, and I'm going to try it for a while as I slowly get off my GLP-1 shot. We'll see how this goes - I'm hopeful. Enjoy your Tuesday, all!

GM Nostr friends. I'm quite tired this morning. It's been a rough week here in Baer Country, but I think I'm finally on the upswing. The warmer weather and hearing birds chirping definitely cheers me up. We're halfway through March already. Didn't January and February last roughly six months each? Once spring is on the way, nothing stops the train. I'm going to go drink my coffee and finish waking up.

Loving the themes on Ditto, @Soapbox team!

GE Nostr friends. Well, Snowmageddon 2026 didn't happen. We're supposed to continue getting snow through the later evening, but it's mostly done. All said, we got probably about 11", which is nothing to sneeze at. Hubby is still disappointed. 😜 Made a roast in the crockpot and just finished dinner. It was delicious. Lu was quite upset we didn't share, but Hubby made it with french onion soup mix so she would've been sick. I still feel bad telling her no - she went to the end of the couch and pouted and wouldn't respond. Watching a Banana Ball game - Coconuts vs Clowns - to round out a pretty good weekend. Have a good evening, all!

GE Nostr friends. Just checking in. The last few days have been busy for me at work, so I've just been head down. Everybody doing okay?

GM Nostr friends. Back to the fiat mines today. Anyone have a Wavlake playlist for focus they'd be willing to share?

Long read, but definitely interesting! View quoted note →

GM Nostr friends. Finally Saturday! Last night I went to dinner and bingo with some friends, and had a great time. Didn't get home until almost 10pm, which is crazy late for me. Hubby was so sweet - I did some of my laundry earlier in the day, and he took it out, folded, and put most of it away. Also cleaned up around the house and took Lu out. It was lovely. Oh, and I also won $100. NBD. ☺️ Today so far has been some chores around the house while listening to the Once We Were Spacemen podcast. Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion just chatting with each other and guests? Sign me up. Trying to get some of my dad's saved recipes and old photos sorted and scanned this morning so I can have them for always. Lots of feels, but I mostly made it through without any tears, so props to me! Have a lovely Saturday, all.

GA Nostr friends. I had a tough last couple days. Hubby and I have butted heads many times over Lulu. Monday night he was in a bad mood already due to some miscommunication between us earlier about the dog earlier in the day. We ended up working it out by bed time, but it was still tense for several hours that wore on us both. I ended up bawling, because this is the kind of thing I used to talk through with my dad, so I just ended up missing him intensely in addition to being stressed out. Tuesday morning I wasn't feeling good in the stomach region, and ended up losing it all over the carpet and bathroom. Literally the worst mess I've ever had to clean up, and it was my own doing. Nothing like trying to clean your own vomit out of the carpet when you already don't feel well! Now our carpet is permanently stained. I just ordered a runner rug to cover it up until we eventually get it replaced. Feeling better today after a decent sleep. Nice to have some calories in my system too. I still have to look at the carpet and feel awful about it, though. Every day is a new day, right? Just trying to get through a tough start to the week. Hope everyone is having a decent week.

It's hard to tell here, but she has her little nose buried in the crook of my elbow, and I...ahh! I can't. Just too cute and precious.

GM Nostr friends! Hubby has nothing to do at work today, so he decided to stay home and get some things done around here and at his mom's house. He just came in while I was browsing my Nostr feed and gave me a neck massage. I could get used to this! We watched the first Banana Ball game on Youtube last night, and it was awesome. (Baseball is the one sport I will watch on the regular and actually know something about. Good memories as a kid of sitting with my dad while he explained the rules and we watched hours of the Minnesota Twins.) Happy Friday, all!

#AskNostr What's the best non-KYC option for buying bitcoin using US-based options? (Venmo/Cash App/Zelle) I was using BitcoinWell, but even if they're non-custodial, they're still KYC. RoboSats very rarely has any offers with payment options I can use. I'm not signing up for Strike, and I for sure will not buy USDC or Monero just to swap for BTC.

GM Nostr friends. Maybe someone can interpret this for me? I have a recurring dream that I'm wandering around in a parking garage (I'd assume the one I use for when I have to go into the office), and I can't find my car. Often I'm alone, but sometimes someone else is with me, and I'm frustrated, walking up and down the rows trying to find it. I distinctly remember parking and knowing where the car was when I left, but whenever I get back, it's not where I left it. I spend each dream doing everything I can to find my dang car while getting frustrated to the point of tears. Wandering up and down and through each ramp, asking people for help, and just not being able to find it until I finally wake up.
