1/5-7/24

It's been quite a while since I posted here, but I had a little story that's not "blog worthy enough" to make a full blog about.

At some point I hung up a stuffed animal hammock for all of mskate's stuffed animals. She kind of collects them and they were taking up a lot of floor space, but now they're organized in a corner of our room. I did have to buy a new battery for my drill since my original wouldn't hold a charge, but whatever.

Friday night my mom had her party with her old college friends, which also meant the kids of the friends who are around could also join, and with the only other "kid" being the oldest who's in the army with 2 kids of his own, my brother and myself, it was primarily vikingpolak and I playing with the 3rd generation kids (a 7 year old boy and 5 year old girl). The party was at my mom's house so we pulled out some of our old toys to pay with the kids. We played with the marble run and some legos. When we were playing with the marbles mskate called them "balls" and the boy said "that's sus" (he was trying to say "cuss" but it came out as "sus"). Mskate later asked me what "sus" meant and I told her the meme lore of Among Us. I also "played chess" with the kids, but they didn't really know how to play so it wasn't much of a match before they got board and left. Later in the night the kids and I did some rough and tumble play, which mostly consisted of me picking them up and dropping them on the couch. They REALLY liked that and kept saying "again, again." I remembered how much fun I had with my uncle doing that at their age, so it was great being on the other side of that play. That was basically it.

Mskate also had her 13 year anniversary of having diabetes on Saturday, and we went out for a fancy lunch in a neighboring city. I had a waigu burger and sidewinder fries, and mskate had some special gluten free pasta. I also had a top gun cocktail (which came with a little rubber duck), and we shared a crembrule. Afterwards we went to a health food store where mskate got some mini muffins for her up coming trip to skating nationals and waffles for home, both gluten free. Since we were in the area I got some perogies from the perogy and crepe restaurant to have later. Since I was pretty full from lunch I just had a happy meal from the McDonald's that's down the street (and now have enough points for a free happy meal in the future). I like getting kids meals at fast food places because I try not to eat a lot of fast food and the kids meals have just enough for "satisfy enough to get real food later" and also come with a toy I try to sell on ebay (and I'm pretty successful), or add to my own collection if it's a promotion I or mskate likes such as Disney 100 or pokemon or squishmellows. This is squishmellows right now (which mskate likes) but already had the one she got, so we added it to the santa bag of stuffed animals she and her mom are going to throw at nationals. I also dropped the drink and my fries while walking home, which was really annoying but oh well.

Sunday was pretty low key, just catching up on Deamon Slayer while going to church and getting the Christmas bins from the storage locker. I also had 3 of my perogies, 2 of the potato and onion and 1 of the pizza (because I got 4 potato and onion, 4 sour kraught, and 2 pizza on Saturday, the perogy place has some unique flavors and I would have gotten cheese burger and taco but they didn't have them this time). I also made a beef stew thing, which is stew beef, onion, potatos, salt, and bullion cubes. I also got some Wendy's on my way back from the storage locker, mosty to get mskate a baked potato and the free Jr. Frosty tag for 2024. just a relaxing day. Later.
