Saw a fox run past my house from the across-the-street neighbors the patch in between me and the left-side neighbors close to 2 pm
This house has a 2023 roof so it's still under warranty. I had the warranty transferred and someone from the company come out to assess a leak we're having in the garage. Ugh.
The day flew by, which was nice. Work is finally something that doesn't stress me out or truly exhaust me. I know it will eventually change if management does so I'm enjoying this for however long it lasts
I'm enjoying the Finch self-care app. I had been resistant to attempting to game-ify my day but it really does help with remembering to do things I need to do in order to function and feel good
I need to check in with the GA ladies and Grammy C. Adopted Brother went to Seoul with daughter and wife to visit her side of the family and do other things. And I need to get my only high school friend I'm in contact with, Mariposa, a very belated birthday gift since hers was during the walking pneumonia/bronchitis spring.

The first of this years medical appointments began with my PCP yesterday. Everything looking good aside from the fact I have to lose the winter weight I put on! š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬ Best news: sheās giving me a new prescription for a pain reliever to help with the joint pain caused by my maintenance chemo pill. (Biggest problems caused by the tiniest pill!) Iām so excited to lay off the Ibuprofen before I have no liver left! Next up, new Chemo guy in April where I will definitely be discussing an end date on this damn pill. Iām at a quality of life vs quantity level of frustration with it.
Speaking of chemo, Iām finally (after 3 years) at a position that Iām happy with my hair regrowth and itās pretty much back to normal (aside from being thinner due to that same damn pill). Vanity, thy name is Jeannie.
Weāre not doing much for Easter this year, only the three of us, so I think itāll be a pretty normal day. Still putting a basket together for the boy and Iāve already sent some goodies to Sixx at school. Well, I still decorated the porch and diningroom so I guess all thatās really missing is a big meal! But we donāt need those anymore (see first paragraph, lol) !
Saw a Facebook post by my cousin where my brother left several comments about my mother and apparently sheās still as evil and crazy af - I went no contact years ago - so a nice little reminder of a brilliant decision.
Thereās a banana cream pie sitting in my fridge right now that I made yesterday. Iām trying desperately not to eat some for breakfast cuz bananas, duh. But that wonāt help my ample ass! So instead Iām gonna go get said ass outside on the road in this gorgeous weather and maybe the craving will be gone by the time I get back or it might just become lunch. The struggle is real, yāall!
1) I discovered a mouse in my house two weeks ago. There were vague signs for a few days and then one of my avocados was nibbled sometime in the night ā curly little strips of the peel left on the counter ā and I knew for sure. I caught her in a humane trap with a piece of shredded wheat. Sheād eaten the entire thing despite the stress of being trapped all night, so I popped another into the container. She curled her tail around it like a cartoon before I put her on my passenger seat and drove us out to the acres of wooded park and lake that puts on a Christmas light show every year. We walked off the hiking trail together and I released her into a camouflage-friendly area. I hope sheās steered clear of owls and found a nice little setup out there.
2) One of Adelaideās school friends showed up to the house this afternoon. She was hand-delivering invitations to her quinceaƱera next month. This will be the first in a long wave of quinceaƱeras, which will be great fun. Better make a plan so Adelaideās own regular 15th birthday doesnāt fall too flat in comparison.
3) We are BUSY this weekend. Weāll be up early tomorrow morning to get her to the first day of rec league volleyball tryouts. Later in the afternoon I drop her off at a sleepover, do laundry to prep for packing for Denver later in the week, and then have a business call with my sisters. In the morning, I pick Adelaide up at the friendās momās pop-up cake pop shop (say that 5x fast), Adelaide gets a āpermanentā anklet with friends, and we go to day 2 of tryouts. Iām already exhausted.
4) I was going to take her to Landās End to buy khaki pants for her school uniform, but I just found out itās permanently closed. According to the store finder, there isnāt another one within 200 miles of us. I guess Landās End is rolling back on brick and mortar?
5) I went a little nuts at the MFA with NFA (another thing to say 5x fast) and bought three Van Gogh prints after going to their temporary exhibit. His work is so ALIVE in person. The bright, bright colors and the way the lines and perspective almost trick you into thinking theyāre in motion. Iām usually not a print person, but they were good quality and I wanted to bring some of that feeling home with me.

Per request, this week's Friday Five is for x Reader fics--and specifically, Bucky x Reader, though there's at least one that includes Steve as well. Most of these authors have written scads of other x Reader fics, all worth your while, so I definitely recommend browsing their masterlists to see what else might appeal.
MCU Recs Masterlist
All of the fics are linked to Tumblr, with AO3 links if cross-posted.
The team thinks that Bucky is secretly in love with the Watchtowerās new interior designer. They donāt realize that Bucky is secretly married to the Watchtowerās new interior designer. And then you get pregnant. Chaos ensues. Itās amazing and funny and so, so sweet.

For Your Consideration by @daydreamgoddess14 (also on AO3)
(E, Bucky/Reader, Actor!AU focusing on the awards season, secret relationship, long-distance relationship, WIP but one chapter left)
Bucky Barnes is a Hollywood staple. You are the hottest new thing on the screen (though youāre a staple in the theatrical world). When the pair of you meet during Hollywoodās silly season, sparks fly. But can what youāre building together last after the last award is wonāor will you lose each other and the Oscar, too? This is one of my favorite types of Reader characters, who has her own backstory and family and history and personality, and Day makes it so easy to fall into her, living this story vicariously through her. Plus thereās lots of pretty social media pics to enjoy as you read.

The Brooklyn Boys (series) by @buckets-and-trees
(E, Bucky x Reader and Steve x Reader, post-Endgame fixit AU, two competing storylines, Bookstore Owner!Reader)
This is such a fun concept for a story. Without giving the game away, itās two competing storylines: one where the Reader has a meet-cute with Steve and you both hit it off romantically. And the other, the Reader starts a sort of frenemy stand-off with Bucky over a park bench that turns into sniping/flirting at each other about reading material. Both storylines are fun and flirty and itās not until youāre halfway through the series that you realizeā¦ well. Thatād be telling. Iāll let you figure it out for yourself. But trust me, thatās when things get interesting. (Wink wink, nod nod.)

Breakthrough by abstractnerddreams (on AO3)
(E, Bucky x Reader, Omegaverse AU, parenting, time skip)
The premise is a tale old as time: Winter Soldier Bucky falls into a rut with an Omega in her heat, disappears into the night afterwards. Omega You is left to raise the baby alone. Five years later, Bucky returns, memory and identity intact, and tries to right the wrong he made by leaving. I love this idea, and the emotions in it are all exactly right. Itās not an easy path back to each other, thereās give and take on both sides, but the pull to each other is so very well done. Just so much fun.

Diamond in the Rough by @navybrat817
(Mature but will undoubtedly go E before itās done, Bucky x Reader, Trailer Park AU, WIP)
You have recently broken up with your boyfriend and have moved to a trailer park. Bucky is your unforgivably hot and super flirty neighbor who you are absolutely bound and determined not to sleep with. You will, of course, probably fail, but Navy hasnāt written that part yet. Itās gonna be so much fun when she does.
1, 2, 3. Yesterday we went to Pienza, the home of pecorino cheese. We even picked up some to bring back with us. This trip has been about walking around, eating well, and looking at beautiful things. Iām not mad about it.
4, 5. When Iām home, I like a nice cocktail if Iām out. Iām not out that often, seldom have more than 2, and never alone. In Italy, spritzes are ā¬4-ā¬7 and Iāve had one three days in a row since my husband got here. Sometimes they are āto go!ā
6, 7. I pass through the Duomo piazza every day and take a photo of the cathedral every day. Itās so beautiful.
8, 9, 10. We went to Uffizi this morning for a little tour and to revisit some pieces from last time. The way da Vinciās Annunciation changes when you walk from left to right is marvelous to experience in person.
