Self care day ideas?
I'm thinking ice skating, enjoying the beach or the forest, baking, or taking a day trip to Spokane or Juneau.
Any ideas?

@TNucks1, the other stuff was a green wine glass (this one is heavy; wine glasses are usually flimsy and I can be notorious for breaking them when I leave them out on the counter and something bangs into it, oh - there goes the wine glass!), a modal like fabric bathrobe that says Nordstrom on the tag. It's a medium, but it will still fit me. I'm smaller than a medium. I don't know why I took it, I don't really need a bathrobe and I was a little intoxicated finding this stuff. Also, I got some plates and a bowl. All neat, free stuff!
I've gotten other free stuff in the past. Most recently, two bread baking dishes, art stuff and clothes. Someone put a couple of Madewell shirts out in their free box. It was a score, and XS too! I'm usually a XS or S in shirts depending on the brand.

I am totally a guy to get in sync with Nature..............
Climb a hill/Mountain etc, where all you can hear is silence............no car etc
And just sit there for an hour, do a little meditation..............deep breathing!
It does wonders for your soul!
Sitting near an ocean with crashing waves, is much the same!

I think I am going to bake banana bread or brownies!
Do glass oven safe baking pans require cooking spray/grease?

You betcha! But @Ghostsof1915, I’ll probably cut off a small piece.

This spider is big. You just can’t see it in the picture. I wonder how it got in. It’s been there all day. I’m a little freaked out right now because it’s big and there. I wonder how get rid of it without it falling to the ground and crawling around unknown. I’ve seen smaller spiders and called them all Wally. Wally has gotten big!

It's quite the thing when you're just about out of cookie butter while looking at the jar very carefully thinking how much more you can get out of it. Then you open the jar of peanut butter and think to yourself - well this will do... Why have peanut butter when you can have cookie butter! But you're all out! Cookie butter is so much better than peanut butter...!

Earth Balance Coconut and Peanut Spread.

Hard to find but damn tasty. More important for me 4 grams of sugar for 32 grams (ie two tablespoons).

That sounds great @Ghostsof1915. I've never had that, but I am enticed to try that. That with my apples.

After 3 hours of sitting around doing nothing except listing to music and drinking coffee and with the cat next to me. I think it's time to be productive! It's almost 2pm you know.

Has anyone taken any day trips crossing the border since it re-opened last year?

Great, thanks all! I have been thinking about taking a day trip up to Vancouver. I was not sure about the border crossing since we are still in a pandemic and of what to expect like travelling by myself for a day trip, if that would be a red flag because we are still in a pandemic, and taking the bus. The train service from Seattle is not up and running and Kenmore Air is not running service up to Vancouver and back.
You know what's funny... I used go to Montreal and would take an overnight flight, usually over to Chicago and up to Montreal. At customs, I always wanted to tell the agent why I was there, but they never asked me anything. They would just look at my declaration form and say merci followed by thank you, and that was it. When I interacted with an agent at a land border or YVR on my way to Vancouver, sometimes it was like a Q&A session, and I am not much for more than 3 questions. I would think that the agents in Montreal would ask me questions, and the agents at the land border and YVR would not ask me more than 3 questions.

@4petesake, did you have to show anything else besides your passport and vaccination card or use an app to go to the US?
So as a recap for myself to go to Vancouver and back to Seattle:
Canada: ArriveCan app + passport or Enhanced ID
USA: passport + vaccination card
Is that right?
-
I have a final paper to do and I keep lollygagging around as in being lazy. I've probably been to CDC 5+ times this evening looking for something new to read.

It was sunny here in Seattle, WA yesterday. Today it is cloudy and looks cold. Yuck. This weather just cannot make up its mind!
-
I’m going to be 39 soon and I still get asked for ID for alcohol, but now it’s about 80% compared to a few years ago. I took off my mask so I could talk and I still got asked for ID. Oh geez.

@Ghostsof1915, I was at Trader Joes over an hour ago and purchased the cranberry sparkling wine. I got asked for ID...
-
So what's everyone doing on this fine Sunday afternoon??!
-
Woo woo! 73F expected in Seattle today and 13 hours of daylight. I woke up early for this! haha
-
Today I feel like it's gonna be a Chipotle, tiramisu, and kombucha day. And watching the Habs on TV.
-
I have found Taco Bell!! I have no idea what I ordered, but it is yum!

No, it was after Taco Bell. I was walking to the bus stop. I had finished my drinking while at Climate Pledge Arena. He didn’t come off as sketchy, told me his name. Just nosy and serious. Something about that interaction, like - why are you questioning me?
On another note - it’s fun drinking at the Kraken games. I don’t even know what the score was, but Vegas won. There’s one coming up this Sunday. I’m not really a fan of the Kraken, but I have half season tickets. I probably will not renew. I realized how much I really like the Habs and Canucks and I enjoy drinking at home. And it’s so much more fun to go to Canucks games as well going over to Montreal during the Playoffs when the Habs are playing.
The reason I got half season tickets was to try something new. I was so excited when Seattle got a hockey team, and when the pandemic hit and we were all at home for months and months, over a year for me, the excitement faded, and I was like - I only like two teams and that’s it. But I was also like - sure, I will give this a try. It will be an opportunity to get out and see if I like this team.
-
It's gonna be a pizza and champagne night!
-
I'm so bored out of my mind that my teams are not playing today that I'm watching the Maple Leafs documentary series.

@Ghostsof1915, yeah odd. When did that happen? I know they are offered in WA state for crossing the border. I was at the DMV website last month when I noticed my enhanced ID was expiring. I haven't been out much for the last few years except for the grocery store to buy food and champagne which is why I didn't notice the date of expiration on my ID until last month.
-
Good to know @Ghostsof1915. I used to go up to Vancouver a lot for Canucks games and would have my enhanced ID as a backup in case something happened to my passport. So if I flew up there and something happened to my passport, I would have my enhanced ID to get back by bus or train.

UPDATE: Mom asked me if I opened the package. I responded - yes, and due to all the tape, it took me 10 minutes to open the top and 10 minutes to open the bottom to break it down and recycle it. Mom didn't seem to care and gave me an example of another package she mailed and that person too noted how difficult it was to get the package open... She asked about the Canucks sweater and jacket. I told her that I wore the jacket out walking today with my leggings.
-
What's your favorite dessert?
Me: Tiramisu. I really like to get the family size at Whole Foods, but it's only 4 servings. I could eat tiramisu all day along.

Gosh it's foggy out! Is it foggy up there in Vancouver, BC? I think it's time to go to bed now. There's a Canucks game in 3 hours!
