My completely unnecessary and frivolous spending items arrived today. I’m probably going to convert the plush case to a journaling/stationary/pen bag instead. I don’t actually need two Switch 2 cases. And it was listed as a set.

Photo of two Ditto switch 2 cases, one on top of the other. The top one is the plush one with arms in the air and a pink ditto smile. The bottom one is the harder shell one that most people have seem all over reddit. And it has the Pokopia black-line smile whenever Ditto tries to be something else.

It looks so square!! I hate it.

All the server icons are square-ish and look weird. Not a good weird, I hate it.

The text box area to enter text is squares and has this massive amount of spare around where you type that it looks so wasteful. Why?!?!???!!???!!!!

I bought jeans online on sale at American Eagle. And I tried to pick stuff I wear but just in a smaller size. 3 of the 4 fit right and how I expect and the 4th feels like I woke up in a bad 90s movie and they want their pants back. I don’t think I like them. I look like a child playing dress up.

These are a pair of jeans that fit in the waist but are unbelievably loose in the thigh, leg, and overly flared/boot cut in the bottom. They’re a light wash and have some weird folds at the bottom cause the flare/boot part is really big.

Same pants as the first pic but I’m holding my leg in a way that you can see how massive the flare is at the ankle.

These are the ones that I like the fit on and prefer. Tighter in the thigh to the knee, then do a smaller, less dramatic flare at the bottom.

Note: I still have some fat inner thighs which I hate.

I always forget before photos & I definitely have one of the before before from Nov. there was only a 3ft-ish walkway through here 10 days ago. All extra bins and furniture are out. Stuff that needed to be thrown out has been thrown out. This is the first time it doesn’t look like a storage unit.

Photo of a living room with green lines to show where there was TONS of stuff before. You can see floor, dog beds, and dogs laying around but also the window shines a good amount of line in here without 5ft+ tall piles of shit everywhere.

I wish I could figure out how I got on the 🐘 (US political party) phone list. I know I shouldn’t reply and usually I just mark as spam, block, and move on. I did block and reported for spam.

Screencap of a text message received from an unknown-to-me-number (1(571)535-4946) saying, “Quick head’s up. Your America 250 Mug has not been claimed yet. Claim yours: and some link.”

My reply was “Ew. leave me alone.”

Apparently today is National Dachshund day, so here are some baby photos of my doxies.

Photo of baby Rory with a costume collar for Tuxedo Mask. Rory is a small dapple black and tan mini dachshund. The collar has a small black cape with a white bow.

Photo of Baby Jack (I still call him Baby Jack even though he’s not a baby anymore). Jack is a small cream/good color mini dachshund and he’s laying on me with a grey blanket under his head. He almost looks cross-eyed because of the angle.

Photo of wee Gwen laying belly up and asleep in the space next to my leg on the couch. Her eyes are closed and she’s really relaxed. Gwen is a piebald with brownish-red and white all over. Note: She still lays in that same spot on the couch next to me.

Photo of Gwen (left) and Jack (right) together being cutie babies on a fuzzy af grey blanket.

It’s Juneteenth. Post your favorite Black fictional character. Note: I don’t have only 1, so I’m adding 4

Whoopi Goldberg as Delores van Cartier/Sister Mary Clarence from Sister Act

Chadwick Boseman as T’challa from Black Panther. This one still breaks my heart.

Andre Braugher as Captain Ray Holt from Brooklyn 99. Also RIP.

Shemar Moore as Derek “Eyebrows” Morgan from Criminal Minds.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you. This felt like the most “soap opera”-y teenage show at the time. I still watched it.

We’re out having some brunch and there’s some seasonal options. This one… uh… caught hubby’s attention and of course he had to point it out to me. And I am feeling some kind of way about it.

Also of all the books I put on hold with the library, this wasn’t the one I thought would have the longest hold! So much so they got 50 more copies!

Screencap of the Libby app for the book Theo of Golden by Allen Levi. I placed the hold on April 15, 2026. Started in line at 576 and am now 269th on line. It shows 949 people are waiting and the library got 50 more copies.

Witaf weather??!!?!?

The first book is available! So I borrowed it.

We went to one of the more well-known brunch/breakfast spots here enduring the weight. They do farm-to-fork like lots of restaurants in the area so the menu changes with the seasons. I’m glad we went.

Photo of a restaurant plat with a large waffle, bananas, marscapone, and Nutella drizzles on top. There’s a small cup of maple syrup on the plate and some bacon in the back.

So #SpaDay round 1 was a huge success, actually. The white clothes are indeed white again (instead of a light grey). And while the stains on the underarm area aren’t gone-gone they’ve diminished significantly. Yes it’s all marked “graphic” just in case, but it’s just pics of clothes.

Photo of an old SoSo Happy shirt with very grey arm pit stains from 1) having the shirt for 20-some-odd years and 2) deodorant.

Pretty sure this is the arm pit stain for my Africa by Toto lyrics short (but the backside) that also shows a pretty grey color.

And a photo of the newly Spa Day’d shirts laid on top of each other so you can see that while the pit stains aren’t entirely gone they are so much lighter. And the shirts themselves are much more white.

Hestiah@hestiah· May 21

#SpaDay has begun. This first round will be ready for washing around 10pm. 🤞🏽 I just put those clothes in and pushed it all under the solution too, so the fact that it’s already a bit grey is disturbing to me. But some of these shirts had BAD pit stains.

We just lost full power. Not even the backup lights are on. I’m lucky that I can leave and still be somewhat productive but there are folks here who can’r do anything! This is how I’m working right now. Lol

Photo of my desk with a Fairlife protein shake propping up my work phone so that I can use the flashlight to shine onto the papers I’m writing on. It’s a paper calendar page for my appointments.

Still on my #Pokopia bs and the last couple days in game were spent reorganizing my storage boxes. First I brought them down yo my Cavern of Stuff and then I decided I needed to paint the boxes.

Screencap from Switch 2 of Pokopia where I’m in Magnet Rise form showing an underground cave. There are two storage boxes in the center as holding boxes for stuff being transferred/organized. In a u-shape around the room there are boxes (2x1 block sized) inserted into the wall so that their 1-block side is visible but flush with the wall. There are frames with objects in them to identify what’s inside the box next to it.

Same basic screencap of the same Cavern of Stuff but it’s only of 2 walls showing a bunch of multicolored boxes with matching multicolored frames for quick-at-a-glance IDing of what might be in the box.

It’s not rainbow and I’m tempted to reorder everything do do that but then stuff would be all willy nilly mixed where it’s organized by blocks section, foliage section, decoration section, etc.

Stole this from reddit because it’s basically me.

Screencap of a tweet or skeet or something with an @ but the datt stamp removed. Probably is actually photoshopped.

Oh no!! Apparently at least ONE of the books you suggested has a nearly 2-year wait list. 😭

I drove to the library and got myself a card/number. Not difficult, just inconvenient. Just sort of wish the library system explained what the process actually was instead of letting you flounder. But also, this queue!

If anyone is curious, here are the photos. I am SO proud of myself for sticking with it for 5 months. And for not dismissing my NSV (non-scale victories). I’m marking the photos as “graphic” cause some people don’t like before-after photos, but I’m clothed, there’s no gore, and SFW. #hestiahglp1

$Photo of me from 4/11/2026 wearing the same Eeveelutions shirt, but my stomach is flatter, my much smaller boobs protrude outward like they’re supposed to, and I am not a stuffed sausage in the shirt. There’s even a little bit of loose fabric around the arm. My face is still fat and I still have 2-3 chins. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think at this stage I’ve only lost about 25lbs total.$

I know most of you following me won’t understand how exciting and amazing this is, but one of my biggest grail fountain pens arrived today and it was perfect. Sailor x Sailor Moon Anniversary Disguise Pen released in 2017. Note: If you google to see how much it is, I did NOT pay ebay price.

Photo of the box of the pen. Most listing that exist don’t include the box and are for the box only.

Photo of a pink sparkly Sailor fountain pen inside a box with white satin. There’s a large Kobe-esque bottle of ink in the upper right. The pen looks like Usagi’s Disguise Pen with a large red gem at the top.

At this time of the day, this particular Costco gas area usually has 2-4 cars in each lane and 1 person directing cars to lanes. This is 10+ with multiple people helping to direct traffic.

Pretty indescribable photo of every lane of Costco gas full until cars are out in the street. My vantage point in this photo is me trying to turn left to get in, but the line of cars turning right won’t stop. There are at least 10+ cars in each lane.

Commentary: This is because our president is a fuckwit causing problems in countries we have no business fucking with. He’s a piece of shit and doesn’t realize all he’s doing is upsetting everyone. Who can afford $6/gal in gas at any of the other gas stations?? This is California, so don’t at me with your $4 gas being a lot. Why is this dome motherfucker not impeached and in prison??
