Chillin on a Saturday

Found out the reason I’m healing so slowly is that both of my spinal injections were in the wrong place and my physical therapy has been focused on the wrong area… so my suffering since October did not need to be this bad… cool cool. Happy Friday .. me just repeating 2009 all over.. not ideal.

my life is more boring/peaceful than it used to be. I generally can’t afford the pairing dinners I love so much and used to frequent. But once a year or so I will splurge. Tonight I went to a lovely sake and sushi tasting dinner at my favorite restaurant and it brought up all the feelings.

@joshkrupke.bsky.social Happy Birthday!

I don’t really miss facebook… except maybe today. Birthdays were always a nice thing on Facebook… your feed flooded with “Happy Birthday”. I used to have parties or go places. This year I’m content to read, drink tea and watch the snow fall. This is 47. Portrait setting but no filters, no makeup

Nothing like being yelled at by an irate mother of a 20 something year old at 4:58 on Valentine’s Day because we wouldn’t give the girl birth control since we’d never given it to her before, and she’s in a different state 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Happy Valentines to you too lady. Good thing this Rioja is delightful

Canada is preparing for war. Drump wants to rename Greenland ‘Red, White, and Blue Land’ and I’m eating Nachos for breakfast because why the hell not at this point.

The world is crazy … but look at the lovely moon

I thought it was a joke … but no … Google has gone forward with this renaming nonsense …no words

I sometimes do flower arrangements..

6 degrees F that feels Iike -5 warrants the big puffy jacket

I would argue it feels colder. Not a fan.

YAY!! Miss you too! Tracy said something about the housing manager maybe leaving and wanting to know if I'd be open to coming back. I said I'd be open to it... so will just wait and see I guess.

It is done. I'm officially off of Facebook and Instagram. 18 years later. It's a bittersweet end. But I can't support sycophant oligarchs or tyrant dictators.

Happy Imbolic.

Soup 12: Gumbo Mardi Gras might be over a month away. But I was craving some Gumbo... also I had most of the ingredients in my pantry already.  Is Gumbo a soup? I mean maybe its debatable since its served over...

Made Gumbo last week! Posting it here for the first time! I'm on Soup 12 of my exploration of soup! #soup #recipes #comfortfood www.ericaneils.com/blog/soup-12...

I've officially moved all my recent recipes from Instagram to my website. Now, I only have to scroll through Facebook to make sure there aren't any tagged photos I want to save. Then, goodbye, Meta.

Always relevant.

Well so far I’m just not too sure about this BlueSky thing … so just anyone can follow you? You can’t filter who adds you? Is there any moderation for people claiming they are celebrities or political figures? I’m quitting the Meta platforms in 5 days.. but if this is just random chaos. Not sure.
