Check-In

  • To Be Dazzled

    I am so confused and my nose is runny. My eyes also hurt, and I have a terrible craving for freshly fried potatoes. It’s so bad that I’m nearly drooling on myself. There’s dust/fur in the air and dried blood on one of my arms. I’m about to break open one of my family heirlooms.… Continue reading

  • Flood

    I didn’t expect this. I had no clue that I would end up hauling 50 lbs of carrots home in my trunk… along with like 50 pounds of red potatoes. We were all given a single cabbage, four pounds of ground turkey, 64 oz of apple juice and 3 yogurts. Along with 2 lbs of… Continue reading

  • Swamped

    Good grief. It’s December! Where on earth did the time go!?! I’m trying to rush tonight because I have so much to deal with. The first use of my electric scrubber was perfect! It brushed all of the dirt up so quickly on the first go around! Out of the box, even though it had… Continue reading

  • So Tired…

    Been sleep deprived for nearly 2.5 days. Got a call from an elderly friend to help with a computer issue. Sooo tired. 😴 ~J.Lyst Continue reading

  • Metal Issues

    I’m sitting here, still listening to another of those “Apple Text” videos. Two and a half minutes in and I’m annoyed. To confuse ulcerative colitis for bowel cancer… I’m furious! Haha! I keep feeling tempted to write stories like this to record for my YouTube page. Ahh… but I already know how much work is… Continue reading

  • An Unironic Update

    Today could be neatly described as being insane. For one, I never really slept overnight. I was awake until about 1PM. Before I was on all of these meds, staying awake for 24-hours was an anomaly for me. It never really happened, because I was already far too sleepy to be awake. Now though? Running… Continue reading

  • Running For the Moon

    Today went better. However, I feel like I finished nothing at all. Which sucks. Well… I didn’t exactly do n–o–t–h–i–n–g per se… I had a wonderful meeting… that I was very late to. I feel terrible about that. My friend and I also scrambled to go pick up my packages. Then, I found out that… Continue reading

  • Backpackin’

    Got most of my stuff done today. Will be doing some essential laundry tasks tonight, which I don’t look forward to. It’s dark and very cold down there. Has to be done though. And unfortunately, I have to wash my sneakers again. However, that’ll be after I do some of the clothes. Writing a list… Continue reading

  • Spitting Shells

    Very strange, and a bit disappointing. Apparently, the new “mixer” I purchased wasn’t even able to whisk an egg. I managed to finish it out with my Oster hand mixer. I feel more than a little crestfallen over how poorly the thing performed. I will be returning the sad little thing ASAP. So, breakfast today… Continue reading

  • Mixers

    So, yesterday I picked up one of the orders I’d put in. There was a Black Friday sale for this particular item. I’ve wanted a stand mixer for a very long time, but the KitchenAid appliances are way out of my range. It’s pretty sad… I’d do a lot more baking and cooking if I… Continue reading
