I’m starting a new random thread. It’s happening. You can’t stop me. I do what I want.

I got out of work extraordinarily early today, hence my posting with abandon. I miss this outlet for internet socializing.

I was told I should schedule a mammogram today. I’m officially old.

I do not feel old at all. Everyone’s so dramatic about aging aches and pains and I honestly feel in the same health as I’ve always felt. Part of me thinks the aging thing, the whole “I’m not 20 anymore!!111!!!11” is more about all the responsibilities that typically come with older age and knowing your body better than that you actually start falling apart.

I will talk to myself if I have to. I’ve done it before.

There are only three threads below these that have responses from 2023. The rest are 2022. 😭

Have you ever farted while in the stirrups at the gyno? I have not but it’s an intense fear of mine, made worse by the fact that the examination makes me uptight which in turn makes my stomach rumble. Made it through another successful, fartless examination today though!

I bought a house.
We are 16 days away from selling our old house. And this market is crazy. Selling price is over 100k what we paid for it.

We are under a tornado watch tonight. We finally have space for two cars in a garage.

Also, I’m alcohol free for the last 6 months.
It feels odd, but really good.

I need help with paint colors…. Dinning room. Do I go with an accent wall, or keep it all lighter? Wallpaper?

Also the laundry room had cabinets that were rusted and had taken moister damage. I’ve got unfinished cabinets ordered. I like this look with the darker blue.

Cause I’m not seeing a huge change with either of the swatches. I know with myself, I don’t love a new paint color unless it’s kind of big change. But if I had to pick, I prefer the gray on the left vs the greener color.

But if I had to pick, I prefer the gray on the left vs the greener color. Most of the walls are a cream color, the dining room is definitely brown/tan. We are pulling the carpet because it was peed on by their cat/dog. So I’m taking the time to paint the ceiling, walls, and pull the trim they painted badly. We are going with wood flooring. This was my original inspiration, but I wasn’t liking the darker blues I pulled in that room.

Hi! Yay for having things to read.
I just got back from a weekend in QC. It's always nice to go up there and visit DH's family, but oof, it's exhausting. The percentage of the conversation that's in French keeps increasing, so I tune out until they suddenly turn to me and say, "Right?" and I'm supposed to be full on in the conversation again. It's like constantly going from zero to sixty to zero to sixty. I can never just join the flow of conversation. They're all fluent English speakers, but my FIL and MIL speak French at home.
But oh boy. We played Cards Against Humanity with my 17 yo niece and her boyfriend. It was hilarious and lots of fun, but it was probably a tinge too far for her to play with her parents.

I dig the blue walls, sarenu! I painted the dining room in my former house a charcoal black and it looked so good against the white trim. It felt classy and modern, not dark and dreary at all.

I've been doing a 50 envelope savings challenge and I only have 3 weeks left to go before I'm finished. I'm excited because this will be the largest amount of money I've ever been able to save at one time.

I am getting glasses for nighttime driving. I feel old (only because I've never worn glasses, so the issue is that I've aged to the point where my eyes need help commenting in dim light). But it was kinda fun picking out frames 🤓

Also, I got my first dog bite yesterday 😬. Not really something I was hoping to "check off my list" but it's a risk in my profession, so I'm just lucky it was not horrible.

Ruggable. I’m looking for some nicer rugs. Do I remember correctly that someone here ordered from ruggable?
I want to get a runner for our garage entrance, it will be helpful if I can wash it every few months.
