Happy belated 4th. I was gone for 13 hours yesterday (got home around 5am) and have mostly been sleeping off and on today to recover from so much time being social and standing (I stood for the vast majority of that time, my legs and back hate me). I hope y'all had a good day!

-hugs- I'm sorry to hear about your mom, but glad they've caught it so early. I hope that it's the only thing they find when they go in and that she doesn't end up needing chemo. It's awesome that she has you to care for her right now. Take care of yourself too ❤️

Ew, standing is gross. Socializing is gross. JUST GROSS EW

Scrimshaw is amazing !

was it good/worth it? yes!

I had a good time but it wore me out so much. Upside: we had stove-top s'mores and discovered adding Himalayan Sea Salt to them is A++++++

It was good. I had fun :) Worth it? Probably haha. I'm worn down today so it doesn't feel as worth it as it did yesterday.

Well glad you had a good time, hopefully it'll calm and you'll feel better.

If I get into collecting roadkill for the skulls, maybe I should keep some of the other bones and see if doing that would be up my alley.

Oh that sounds nice ! I often do s'mores in the oven, as the mallows get HUGE, fluffy, and nicely golden. It also melts the chocolate and toasts one side of the cracker. But this year I actually did these really tasty s'more cupcakes topped with my semi-sweet ganache and a mallow (not home made, cause time) that I then used my blow torch on.

is that legal? -has no clue-

I got called into work today. My vacation ended two days early =/ I'm not as worn out though despite that at least.

Muerte - the cupcakes sound delicious. I never thought to bake actual s'mores either haha. We usually just toast the marshmallows on the gas burner xD

bummer :/ but at least you aren't so bad <3

Yeah, that's the upside. I should've stopped and gotten a second coffee on the way home though.

hmmm coooffffeeeeee

It would've been nice. Too late now.

-pets-

How are you?

be crapptastic day of crappiness lol. Dealing with car insurance and collision repair people.

Ugh I'm sorry :( Were you in an accident? Did I miss hearing about this or did my brain just eat the information?

Mum was. No, I haven't said anything about it. lucky the damage isn't awful but mum's been in a lot of pain and its been stressful, hence why not mentioning it...and so much drama

Oh damn. I'm sorry she's hurting so much. I hope the shit with insurance gets cleared up so she can get treatment. I'll keep her in my thoughts ❤️

thanks me too <3 she's seeing a lawyer tomorrow... we just don't know what to do. -sigh-

I'm sorry - I know how frustrating that shit is.
