Laura, from Alberta. And now we are 55. Looking for the treasures and small pleasures each day holds. Once was fitblr, now mostly shitblr, but still trying to get my act together. @serenitysspot for reblogs

Camping's canceled, for this time anyway as the jack broke, in a way that's not easily fixable. Better in the yard than in the bush. Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy anyway, and the next few days don't look ideal either. We'll do a day trip.

I packed so much food in the trailer already though. Hilarious and slightly alarming. Well what the hell else is there to do other than eat? Wake up, eat. Go for a hike, come back and eat. Pensively watch the fire and eat. I don't drink, so I've got to do it all sober too.

I'm okay with staying home. I can enjoy the panic cleaning I'd done thinking my parents would be staying here. 😄

Ok, first of all look at my cat.

Second. Here's where we're at. Going camping on Tuesday and honestly why? Because it's out of cell service range, i guess. Tomorrow I'll load up the trailer with food and all the other stuff while Al is in Red Deer visiting his daughter. My parents will come out to catsit-- they view it as a country vacation. Our place is a nice holiday let. 😊

Now look at my other cat.

I'm not saying i replaced my kids with cats but i kind of totally did, if the kids didn't want this to happen they should never have moved out.

I guess i do need a bit of a change of scenery.😬

God my kids are handsome. Cute, even. Adorbs. I'll allow this photo of me only because they're in it too.

This is where I'm at. I just don't see the point of going camping when my back yard is this nice. I mean, look at this:

That'll do just fine.

@itwascaseybitch have i got wall decor for you. 😄

A painting i did:

A painting my mother in law did:

A photo i took in Twillingate, NL:

And a pic i bought in Home Hardware:

Not sure any of this helps, but it all reflects who i/we are, and that's what we want on our walls i think. You could probably use some of your travel pics for wall art too.

I want to see other mutuals' wall decor!

We finally got a new couch! It's been a while coming because i am 1) cheap, i mean, frugal, and 2) i put the pro in procrastinate, and 3) i could not face the work involved. And it was work, jfc the old one out and the new one in and I'm nearly dead. But this is so much nicer. Can the rule be no eating on the couch? Will that hold?

Caturday and this little girl has me wrapped around her little finger pink toebean.

Took my reading glasses off for a selfie. Vanity. 😊 i don't care. Selfies help my self esteem. 🤷‍♀️

Ffs. Ok, my bad, i ordered a tshirt on Etsy and then kind of forgot that i had done so. A week or so ago i had a phone message on the landline from Purolator, wanting to i don't know, confirm my address, something something box number? I was like, spam, delete, stop thinking, move on. Then i got an email today saying that my order had been delivered, and i thought, hmm. Looked into it on Etsy, saw the tracking info, realized it had languished in Red Deer for like, a week before they gave up and sent it back. During that week they left the message. Oops. If i had known the Etsy shop used Purolator i wouldn't have ordered because i live in the fucking boonies, Purolator can't deliver out here, and i understand, I'm not angry, it's just kind of a giant clusterfuck. But this is literally why we can't have nice things. 😄
