Star Jasmine (aka confederate jasmine, not a true jasmine). Reminds me of my time in San Jose where I saw them often. It has a lovely sweet smell that reminds me of nutmeg.

That's a lot of cobra chickens.

Excuse me, nurse? Can you take my temperature? Because I think I have Jeffrey Combs fever over here!

Main character syndrome.

I have to keep the TV muted while waiting for his shitty show to end and HIGNFY to start. I just can't stand listening to him speak. Such a punchable face.

I sympathize and it obviously rubbed off on me. My dad called my mother "the white tornado". Legend has it if you stood still long enough, you'd get dusted.

Okay... but while you were typing all of this, you could have been cleaning. The motto stands.

Oh no, I agree with the latter, but aside from immediate cooking pots/pans/utensils, everything else is put away. I like the multitasking.

The biggest culprit to a dirty kitchen is someone that has never heard the phrase "if you got time to lean, you got time to clean". My wife hates this philosophy, but when I'm done cooking and ready to plate, the kitchen is spotless. It must be witchcraft!

You sound like a real life Peter Griffin.

I just want my own Hundred Acre Wood.

I've always been skinny, so I was surprised when I started packing on the weight so quickly. My rear end has extra cushion too (almost like I was geared for this). I eat pretty healthy, a lot of Indian/Mexican/Japanese food, no gluten, no fast food. Maybe it's the avocados, that or the strawberry cheesecake I made a few weeks ago. 😬

I love my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+. I bought one after using my Note 10+ for years and becoming hooked on the S Pen. The default program for taking notes on Samsung devices is literally called Notes, I've used it for years and it has been a boon to digitizing my all handwritten notes and drawings (I also use ibisPaint). The Samsung S Pen is a comfortable size, feels natural to use and very responsive. The S9+ is a little more pricey, but it has a 1440p AMOLED screen and is just gorgeous to look at and use. Highly recommended.

I wrote all of this and then looked up Obsidian to see what kind of software it is. You can use it for sure, though the S9+ might be overkill if you don't need the drawing/writing capabilities. I have used my mechanical Bluetooth keyboard to it and that works great, but I tend to use Microsoft SwiftKey with the S Pen when I don't have the luxury of sitting down to type. HTH

Congrats! I'm almost 6 months on HRT and I've already got A cups. Feels great!

I just load up a no-ad fireplace on YouTube.

I mostly lose when my team is clueless (typical lack of situational awareness) or expects me to carry them (I don't carry trash). That's when I stop playing and start trolling. Either way, I'm having a good time.

One of the tricks I've learned is wearing things that don't highlight my shoulders so much (V-necks, wider straps in bras/tanks, halter tops) or draw attention away from them (long necklaces, patterned maxi skirts). I'm naturally skinny and prefer a gypsy/boho look so it works to my advantage.

Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan always makes me cry. The death of Spock, the exchange between him and Kirk, it always kills me.
