dani_meowsI'm so tired today. I had a doctor's appointment. The office required every 3 month to maintain my prescription for blood sugar meds and such. The follow up of the follow up of the follow up... For the past four years of follow ups.
It was a good one. My blood pressure was a lower normal reading, my weight was 13 pounds lighter. I'm morbidly obese so that's great news. Left with the promise of blood work in my future and the paperwork to get a mammogram.
The rest of the day was spent working on my farm in farm together 2 and avoiding playing dreamlight valley. I haven't wanted to play lately.
We had a sub for dinner because Ian's work got hectic in the late afternoon as one of his clients screwed up and made it Ian's problem. So when I mentioned the sub shop had a buy one get one sub...
Nori cuddled me a lot today as well. I also got the spreadsheet working again for the fanfiction yearly challenge on Tumblr.

It involves keeping track of the fanfiction I read and I'm curious which fandoms end up on top and which ships.
I finished reading my first book of the year last Friday. It was the English translation of a Chinese book. The English version is called to the sky kingdom by Tang Qi. The whole time I was reading it I couldn't put it down and thought it sounded like the C-dramas my best friend adores. And lol and behold it is. The drama is called Eternal Love and I'm enjoying watching it acted out but with changes of course. The book was better but
I see why they made it chronological the book is constantly switching times as she remembers things. But it was a great book that I apparently got years ago for free.
I'm also working on a book for the sub stack group Big Read where this year we are reading Les Miserables all year a chapter a day. So far I'm enjoying the read but I don't know anything about the plot and it's a slow but charming start.
Jasper has been sleeping through the night again for the past week hopefully he's over whatever was bugging him for the past few months since he had eye surgery. Where he'd come in screaming and scratch at my husband until Ian carried him to the couch and slept out there with him.
Let's see is there anything else going on? Hmm...
I made beef stroganoff with Spätzle for the noodles and it was so good. I'm going to be sad if Aldi's doesn't have the dried Spätzle noodles again. Last year they only had it for a few months.

There's the recipe if you want the most delicious beef stroganoff I've ever had. We used portalbella for the mushrooms as those are the only ones Ian likes.
Here we go a nice fun post that doesn't center around how stressful things are. It's almost like back in the good pre 2016 days...
