weekend vents and randoms

I had to get my blood drawn, again, today. Like it's not optional. I go to the clinic and guy can't get any fucking blood. I don't have the easiest veins, but he even tried my hand to no avail. He sent me to a new clinic, and it's packed and I somehow sat next to the most annoying people in the lobby.

I can start drinking when I get home, right? It's only 9:30 am...

Jesus hamster, you need a break and a  :drink:

Goddamn wind tore off, as in no longer attached, the huge gates on the new fence we had replaced this fall.  Luckily we can fix it, but geez.  Why is everything hard.

I will not miss the runny noses, ear aches, headaches, and total sinus trauma caused by juniper (mountain "Cedar") around here. Fuckin allergy misery.

I got sucked in to the vortex of GOMI this morning, featuring That Wife and mandajuice as suggested by ML.  That is some whoa bitches be crazy.

Yes you need a drink hamster!

I'm trying to motivate myself to get over to the apartment treadmill for more miles than I want to think about.

[mbcdefg]

I'm sorry hamster. You really deserve a break

We're snowed in, so Netflix will be getting a workout today.

[hamster]

Finally done. One quick poke and she filled up the tube. She was astounded at my story.

[hamster]

It's 10:30, I'm chugging beer, and I don't care who judges.

[irene adler]

hamster, consider it a solidarity beer for our housebound east coast posters.

I've had enough of the snow. I feel so bad that I can't help MH shovel. I made him cookies instead. That's pretty helpful right?

[MNH2013]

H is asleep with M. I wanted to go to the zoo today but I guess that is not happening. Tomorrow is my birthday and I asked H for a massage and a fancy lunch out.

Maybe I can use my birthday as an excuse to go to the zoo after nap time lol.

[winnied]

*hugs* Hamster. Drink up. :drink:

H and I booked a trip to Italy this week. We're very excited because it's a big dream for us to go and we're able to go much earlier than anticipated because of deals. A lot of friends are excited for us but my best friend and my parents are being really unsupportive. BF is upset because we're prioritized this instead of a couples vacation (requiring that we go all the way across the country to where she lives, versus meeting anywhere in the middle...). Parents are upset because we are prioritizing this over my 3rd cousin's wedding across the country. Why can't they be happy for me? But really, why can't I just stop giving a shit about what people think of my choices?

[bostonmichelle]

I was able to run outside! I only did 3 miles but made a plan to get 18 miles in tomorrow. Being housebound makes me crazy.

I made pea soup and tidied up the house while MH shoveled. That's my justification for not helping. Even though my only excuse is that I don't want to put on pants.

I WANT A SNOW DAY DAMNIT!
You know what would happen if we got that much snow?
Nothing.
@idaholakelady

AND WE REALLY NEED THAT SNOW TOO.

Right? In 15 years of living in Montana I never, not once, had school or work closed due to weather. I wonder if this contributes to the statistic that popped up last spring about Montanans being the worst drivers? Statistical increase in accidents because we don't shut shit down?

I came across a little massage place that has good reviews, is open 7 days a week from 10am-10pm, and has super awesome prices. I'm so tempted to go, but I'm afraid it's going to be sketchy (open until 10pm? umm...). Most of the Yelp reviews are from women that have done lots of other reviews, so I'm going to assume it's not a happy endings place. I need a massage so bad, but I'm afraid to go there.

@foodielicious that shot makes me crazy! MH keeps telling me dates that he'll be out of town for a training or whatnot and then getting pissed that I insist he put it on the cozi app calendar. I FORGET SHIT, okay?!

there is one that I absolutely love-it's a foot spa place, best place I've ever been to. It's out of town, so when I go there, I make sure I book a 2 hour appointment. It's also open til 11. Cheap too.

There is a local one that is also open til 11. It felt like a drunk toddler spilled baby oil all over me. It creeped me out and was horrible. H went before I did and she offered to rub his stomach, he declined...

I assume rubbing stomachs is some sort of happy ending code. 

OMG about the local one! I've always wondered how the happy endings offers come about...Now I know!

This is actually a foot spa place! According to the reviews, they actually massage everything. I guess it's just a room full of chairs and everyone remains fully clothed. IDK. It seems weird, but who can turn down an hour of massaging for $30?!

MMR Random: Hey, remember when Bitcoin was a thing that people thought we should take seriously? Good times.

I have not changed out of pjs. I just put a hoodie on lol

I am going to dive into the Angie Tribeca marathon that I have DVR'd. I hope is good because I love watching series. I also think that I am going to get take out because all the food in my fridge is boring and it's Saturday! (See how I can justify anything!)

[irene adler]

I taught dh how to can today (we made pickled quail eggs). He is obsessed with finding recipes and planning out his next few batches.

[melmel48]

I can't go into detail because I know some of the posters here IRL, but I will just say I am hurting emotionally right now and could really use some good thoughts being sent my way.

 I couldn't run today, but plan on doing it tomorrow. Trying to figure out where exactly to run! I am going insane being inside right now. I am SO eager to get outside tomorrow.

Pro tip from H: Don't can tuna, inside, in the middle of summer.

Also, make jalapeño jelly.
