    YESSSS I've wanted to go to that soba shop since I was a teenager. I'm sad it's closing, an I likely will never get to go.

    I would buy a large property in my area and build a compound that's fully fenced for me and my closest friends, then I would fulfill every thing I possibly could on my Disney bucket list including club 33 membership, all the parks, all the resorts, all the cruise ships. I would buy as much stock in Disney as I could so I could have some say/sway on the way the company runs for my own selfish gains.

    If that isn't spending fast enough, I would try to outright buy Disney, lol. If I have enough money to do it, I would in a heartbeat, and then figure out how to privatize it, so I am not beholden to stockholders so I can do whatever I want to make the company the way I want it to be.

    I'm feeling meh about a lot of things. I'm coming off a huge high of going to a wedding at a dream destination (not my wedding, Mr. Tired and I have been married for 4 years now), but I got to be a part of a wedding at my dream destination, and honestly, that's good enough for me. I'm itchy from being bitten to hell by mosquitos, including ON my new tattoo.

    I'm also not feeling great about points to all of this, and I am doing my best to do what I can as a straight-passing, white-passing person while also trying to take care of myself and deal with my own chronic illnesses.

    I'm eastern European and beets are a part of my blood. My favorite thing to do with beets, aside from eating them like candy once they're roasted, is Ukrainian beet salad.

    Roasted beets
    roasted potatoes
    roasted carrots
    peas
    raw onion
    sauekraut
    pickles
    sunflower oil
    salt

    use proportions with the heart of your ancestors and mix. Best left for a few hours to meld before eating.

    It's not so much what's under the hood that's the issue, it's the end-user portion that's the problem for most people. They're either used to how windows works or they're Mac users. Setting up something that isn't out of the box ready for the average person isn't going to be easy, and that's what they want. The easiest setup and least amount of hassle, privacy be damned.

    Update 1: I tested a pattern I cut out last week, and It seems to be wearable! I will be making a full top when I'm back from my trip this week.

    I also cut out more scraps for my EPP project, I'm at 180 hexagons prepared now!

    I bought black cotton fabric for my halloween costume. I'm going to be Hecate, so I'm going to baste the fabric together to make a makeshift Grecian dress and a black veil/hood. If I feel too lazy, I will just wear my black cloak on top of the gown I make.

    I used to have one of those collapsible water bottles that was recommended. I hated it. It's so hard to clean, and I noticed that it started to leak after a few uses. I would rather just bring a smaller reusable water bottle with me than my usual one and deal with that.

    I would rather there be fraud and everyone gets their claims approved/gets the treatment they need without going broke. That is what government and social safety nets are for.

    I have to take my pills at night in a very specific order, otherwise I can't sleep. Not because the medicines interact, but because it's going to drive me crazy that I didn't take my medicine the "right" way. It goes Capsules, large pills, dissolvables, small pills, ibuprofen (as needed). This order includes any medicines and supplements I need to take on a daily basis. Currently I take 6 capsules, 4 dissolvables, 1 large tablet, and 5 small tablets.

    I hope you can look into it soon. Sleep is so important, and we just never get the chance to really make sure we're getting the best sleep we can.
