Here's hoping you don't have to go to the hardware store a thousand times

Sitting in LA traffic but I’m not driving. We’re coming back from the Grammy Museum and Chinatown. I’m visiting my fams, headed to a big family dinner tonight and my heart is full.

It's not off to a great start. Yesterday was a funeral and today was a birthday party cancelled by Covid. I might just chill at home and wait for a break in the rain long enough to mow my lawn.

Spanish homework! My local city council offers free adult learning courses for people earning < £30k. I signed up for Spanish almost on a whim. I was nervous as hell to begin with, but three lessons in I really love it.

I don't understand. Are you not entertained by fake leftists spouting right wing propaganda in every thread?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Legit, no meme, no joke, I'm making beef stroganoff.

We don't do it often, maybe twice a year, but it's a household favorite.

I'm on call at work so I can't drink or smoke, my boyfriend is out of town, and the weather is nice. It's the perfect combination to take the pup on a long hike. We went on a short hike yesterday and he slept SO HARD afterwards, so I hope he's up to something a bit more intense tomorrow. Worst case scenario I can carry him.

We are taking our little one to the zoo!

What is a short hike vs. a long hike?

I take our 2 dogs for 3-6 miles M-F in the morning. They’ll sleep pretty good until dinner time but then they’re basically ready to go again.

We did 4 or 5 miles yesterday. Hoping for twice that tomorrow.

Puppy Bowl 20 years is streaming on HBO MAX on this Saturday. The actual Puppy Bowl XX is not till next sunday, but they are doing some look back at cute puppies, so probably that.

Hopefully some Guild Wars 2 with grandma. Already went to the park with my son.

Make sure yours goes well too!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

You're the second person to mention GW2 here, we might be up to something!

Going to go on a hike to see 10 waterfalls, doing some flight simming, clean up the yard and finish the second planter box.

I'm going to worry about missing a phone call from my probation officer this week.

Fingers crossed!

I might go out with some work friends, hook up with a guy I have been wanting to meet for a while, and go to the gym. And talk in silly voices with my cats.

My son just turned 7 we're gonna have a surprise party tomorrow. I have to buy a couch today I've never had this many people at my house before

Happy birthday to him!

Planning on some much needed yard work and taking my little one on a playdate with her classmates.

After some grocery shopping looking forward to making some hot soup since it's been raining a lot here.

Last week I was on vacation (went to Disney World) so this weekend I'm gonna take it easy. Do some chores, order a pizza, play video games. Nothing particularly exciting, but I'm okay with that.

My teen will be here instead of his Mom’s house for the weekend, so literally anything he wants to do. He drives now, which is scary as heck, so tonight he’s going to meet buddies and he’ll be here on his schedule.

I had some great ideas for meals he would love, including his favorite chocolate chip pancakes, but suddenly he’s eating low carb, so those ideas are out. I don’t know, might end up with just chicken breasts and veggies.

Assuming the weather is ok, we’ve been doing a lot of walking around town and on the new rail trail, so hopefully more of that. It’s a great opportunity to just talk, while having enough activity so it’s not forced talking

Taxes. Looks like OP is in Germany, so …. Here in the US, we need to fill out tax forms and send them in: after January, but by April 15. Lots of paperwork to assemble, but I’m hoping for a huge rebate for buying an electric car

If he wants some "not nearly as good but no carb pancakes" you can mix eggs and cream cheese and fry that mixture up. As long as the cream cheese gets mixed well, it will give you really tiny pancakes (crepe thickness). The ratio is about 1oz cream cheese per 1 egg. Plus any flavorings.

You can add different flavors like chocolate chips or cinnamon or whatever. There are plenty of keto pancakes recipes, if you wanna look.

You seem to be a cool dad!

I'm actually in Spain, but our Spain instance went bust a few weeks back, so I now rely on the famous German quality

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

That’s so sweet pf you, man, you must be a cool dad. Thanks

On Saturday, I'll be attending a retirement dinner for my mom. It'll be the first time she'll get to try authentic Indian food. Then on Sunday I'd like to get my metal detector out with my new coil that I got for Christmas. Hopefully the ground won't be too frozen.
