- I’ve been so excited that the Etsy prints I ordered in March shipped last week (the seller had to wait to ship due to COVID-19), and couldn’t wait to get them. Then I was immediately upset yesterday when I opened our mailbox and saw the mail person have shoved them in the box to get them to fit, and the package was curved. UGHHHHHHHH. Come on, dude!!! But as I was in Dragonstone, ranting to Steven about the mail, I opened the package and saw they could be flattened back out (phew) and was overcome with excitement to see EXTRA prints in there, including one I wanted to order but was sold out! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! So, it all worked out and I am so grateful for the extra prints. I know, cool story brah. Here’s one of the extra prints (I don’t want to share the one I ordered yet because I got one as a gift!):
By PhDistance, shop currently closed
- I had the prints out on the counter to take a photo to send my snis and Starbuck came running in, sensing there was paper somewhere. I immediately removed them so she wouldn’t get to them! Starbuck LOVES to sit on paper, and even more, loves to destroy it with with her teeth. You can’t lay a sheet of paper down in this house without her appearing out of nowhere.
On Monday I was trying to wrap a present, I set the paper down, grabbed the present from the next room, and she was immediately on it
- Speaking of my snis… did you guys know she is my personal shopper? I despise searching for things online as much as I do in stores, and Christina is always up to help me out with it! I appreciate it so much! I give her the specs of what I want, and she sends me links and options. Thank you, snis!
She recently helped me find these fake plants! More on what’s going on with this shelf later… maybe tomorrow?
- Maybe I should ask my snis to help me with ordered soaps from Bath & Body Works. I keep making the same dumb mistake and not reading what the notes are, and just ordering based on photos. I ordered “kitchen lemon,” then after receiving it, realized I can’t use it because it has a flower note in it that gives me a headache. Anyone else out there who can’t do flower scents? I am all about the baking and fruit scents.
- I’m so grateful our preserves have stayed open during COVID-19. I get such a peace of mind from running on the trails, not worrying about traffic. And I can actually HEAR my podcasts on there! (and yes, I am running with low volume and pepper spray in my pocket)
- Ugh, yesterday my fave podcast shared a really sad animal story that I wish I hadn’t heard. UGH x a million. I never forget these things after I hear them. Sigh.
- The three podcasts I support on Patreon are all doing more episodes right now! I’ve got to increase my running and walking to listen to them all!
Love the print!!!
Yeah, sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the podcasts we want to listen to! Just need more running for you and cooking/cleaning for me! 😉
Thanks! I will email you pics of the other ones!
Exactly! I am purposefully doing a bump up in my running this week (for training purposes) and it will give me more listening time!
Cats are so funny about certain things. One of my favorites, Taz, liked to drink my wine and would come running as soon as he heard the clink of the wine glass being taken from the cupboard and set on the counter. He would push his head into the glass, too. Never seemed to affect him, LOL.
Oh my gosh Taz! Did he prefer whites or reds?!
I am soooo behind on podcasts, haha. I try to listen to my faves as soon as they are downloaded, but the rest of my podcasts… I think I’m still listening to episodes from APRIL. But whatever – at least I won’t run out of episodes anytime soon! It does help motivate me to go for a walk, though. (“You can finish a whole episode!!”)
I love a good flower scent, so that makes me sad that they give you headaches!
Yes – you are not going to run out at all and get to enjoy them during your walks! Which ones do you make a priority to listen to first?
Doesn’t that suck? I know a lot of people who love flower scents, but something in my body is like N-O-P-E!
I’m so jealous of your personal shopper. That works out so well for you both, especially if she likes hunting down the right item. Speaking of shopping, you order a lot of stuff on Etsy I noticed. How do you shop there? Do you search for a print or something specific or do you have a system for browsing and finding new, cool things?
I’m glad your new print wasn’t ruined…by the mailbox OR by a mischievous cat!
Exactly – she likes doing it and I hate it so it works well! I don’t order on Etsy much, but when I do, it’s something my snis told me about (animal paintings, address stamp) or something I heard about (I heard about these prints in a podcast). I have looked there for help with my website (so, design services), but I don’t have any tips on how to browse it or search it for goods. I just ask my snis to look. Ha. It sounds kind of fun to look for things though…
Me too! Gah!
