Congrowltulations!

That bread looks gooood!

The crab gets out of the bucket by climbing on others who are already working their way up together, pushes them back while going, claims to succeed on their own effort, leaves without helping. Won’t even turn back to pay respects. No crab can climb the bucket on their own.

Exhausting week, this course I applied to started and it’s super intensive, also interesting and hopefully helps with employment, but not very accessible in terms of sensory stuff and practical arrangements. Thankfully there aren’t too many days we spend in the classroom as it’s mostly online/practical training so I guess I’ll manage. Also there’s this older woman in the class who is openly reluctant of being in there, carries neonazi symbols and fantasizes about beating people up and shit like that, and I had to do some exercises with this idiot and listen to her rambling. I don’t understand why she’s there, the course is voluntary… If she keeps going I’m gonna ask the teachers to do something about it, no reason we have to tolerate such fascist crap.

Today we cleaned the flat, baked banana cupcakes and made pasta with carrot-tomato sauce. Friends came over with their kid for dinner. I’m socially empty right now. Food was good though!

Pspspspspsps!

Listen to music I was into in my teens & twenties and sing out loud. Cook grub. Clean the flat. Read books on couch and go to sleep early. Probably start a project that will be left unfinished on the table. Enjoy the peace & quiet. Then walk around talking to myself and get annoyed for being lonely and bored.

Some fine lookin baguettes you got there!

We’ve spent the morning cleaning and organizing the cottage for winter. About to leave home soon. Fixed the porch yesterday and picked up funnel chanterelles and lingonberries. We’ve had a couple nights with minus degrees so berries were a bit mushy, but I’m planning to cook jam from them, so it shouldn’t matter. But I must say I haven’t used “old” lingonberries in jam before so we’ll see how it turns out. 😅

Judging by the look on its historical face, the bowls must’ve been empty already then

Fortunately no, it’s a family place so only partially ours. But losing this retreat that is within a reasonable driving distance from home would be a pity anyways.

We live in Finland now so yup, would have to move. I’ve always wanted to live abroad, for a while at least, so it would be nice to have that opportunity, but myself I really don’t like big cities so I’m worried how that would turn out. But it’s not certain yet and probably I shouldn’t get ahead of myself!

Ahaa ahaa!

I was accepted to both those courses I applied to so had to make a decision which one to pick. I chose the more practical one which starts already next week. I’m super nervous about it and having a hard time calming down and not overthinking everything. And as if this wasn’t stressful enough my SO just found out about a position opening in Berlin and they’d have a good chance of being accepted for transfer - it’s something they’ve been dreaming of, so I encourage them. Heck, why does everything always happen at the same time?!

We are going to the cottage for the weekend and I hope picking mushrooms (if there’s any left) and being in nature will help with this stress…

If you can’t afford fentanyl try worms instead!

Looks like you caught the Stranger Things monster looming in the sky!

Nuttius Raisinius, but hey, at least they appreciated the petit format back then!

Congrats! Hope you have a great day!
