      @Ominous I actually knocked on wood. But yay! You can do it!

        Made it to California with all the stuff I didn't throw away crammed into my car. Started my job and I think I can do it. Got a 6-month lease and am moving in. Cross your fingers and knock on wood, but things seem to be working out.

        Let us know how it goes, yeah? Also, avoid fires.

            Thank you for the well wishes, everyone. I am in Santa Barbara working for the County of Santa Barbara in code enforcement. If you're ever in town, say "hi."

            I am on the coast, and no fires here so far. The fires have a couple of mountains ranges to get over first, which is possible but helps a bit.

              I began brewing my own kombucha again after about 7 years. I've been wanting to for a while, so I'm thrilled. Even moreso that it's been very very successful so far. And it seems to be really helping my stomach out.

              I bought a few plants a few weeks ago. I am terrible with plants, but I keep trying (stubbornly). One of them is struggling, another is doing OK, but the peace lily is thriving and this makes me so happy.

              Last week I was under the weather and my knee was acting up real bad. These combined with the general blahs killed my RP ability. I just haven't been able to get up and go when it comes to RP. I barely even wanna login anywhere. Channel chatter is fucking exhausting, but if I turn off all channels: I just sit in silence. I feel like having channels off means no one will even know I exist, so it becomes 'why even be logged in?'

              But I haven't been like, moping over it. FFXIV has actually been really great for me lately. It's been relaxing and engaging and I've been playing with a few long-time buddies so I'm still being social and not just becoming a lump.

                This is an RL Thing I Love because it was a meme shared on a Discord server I'm on and it's so adorably wholesome that I keep looking back to it and smiling and it is going in the 'things that make me smile' collection:

                      @Wizz That card is actually quite lovely. I'm totally in line with the social progress and other tenets, but I didn't know there was an actual MEMBERSHIP CARD.

                      Shit. Now I totally want to be a card carrying member.

                        Membership itself is free!! But yeah, getting the card is basically just an excuse to put money towards their activism efforts. FeelsGood.gif

                          i am so glad that the people i consider celebrities are so relatively obscure and accessible and i can do things like take online dance classes with them. i needed those endorphins today.

                            When I get 6 hours to cook.

                            German red cabbage sauerkraut. Sausage soup w/ mirepoix base. Arborio risotto cooked with leftover broth from the soup. And later, gluten-free apple muffins.

                            Yes, my family probably doesn't deserve this, but I like to feed people.

                              The last time I had Indian food I got violently ill after - and it wasn't the food because my husband ate most of my plate when it was too spicy for me.

                              So it has been a few years.

                              But I woke up ready to try again and we did. So far so good and thus I'm feeling hopeful!

                              (The food was amazing tasing both times.)

                                      So, just discovered the other day that this was a thing.

                                      Orson Welles & H.G. Wells share a radio interview 2 years after the 'War of the Worlds' broadcast.

                                        Just got an offer on a new job, giving my 2 weeks notice tomorrow. I will miss my little boss and my other coworkers, and will have to work a little longer but will still get benefits, but no more being ruled by cross sales and survey nps score hell.
