I went to Portland and had a couple of busy days. Pet Pack on Sunday, then non stop until I returned to Astoria.
For example, I did not eat anything at all (too busy) all day Monday until 10 pm in the evening, besided the latte I had in the morning. I love this Kale salad from New Seasons and this dessert called Swedish Dream (also New Seasons). I miss the grocery stores in Portland......New Seasons, Zupans and Trader Joe's.
The local magazine Portland Mercury had a sex survey a while back that I actually participated in. I said that I am asexual. That is how I felt l since a while. So I have no wild sex stories for you. You will have to read the Portland Mercury for those.

I did have time to meet my girlfriend Eve for coffee Tuesday morning.

I had been eying these two outfits for a while, so I decided to get them. They arrived the other day. No this is not ordered on Shein or Temu. Although made in China, so who knows how this stuff is manufactured.

Then some peptides. For my face.

I am thinking about getting a microneedling device for my face (like Dr. Pen) and the Omnilux. But I want the Omnilux Men because it has deeper wavelenght than the Omnilux Contour Face. I need!

I just saw this on Reddit. I love Reddit by the way.
Today February 28 total blackout. No purchases period. If you must, shop local.
I have no plans on buying anything today anyways so I will comply with the request for total blackout. I can do the Amazon blackout from March 7 to March 14. I don't shop Amazon often but I do now and then. Nestlé blackout later in March no problem either. Same with the Walmart blackout in April. And then there is a second total blackout on April18.

Deal! Are you going to participate?

This Thursday I mopped the floor in the kitchen and in the bathroom. I mop the old fashioned way. So I don't really mop then actually.....since I do not use a mop. I hand clean. Bucket with HOT water, some rags, cleaning solution, protective gloves and go.

My initial plan was to go to the laundromat afterwards and wash the bath mats but it got late, so instead of the laundromat I went to the grocery store and got some food, came home and made myself dinner and took Kaya out for a walk afterwards. It is fun to walk around Astoria in the evening. We saw boats out on the river. The fog started to come in so the boats are using their fog horns. I like that sound, a bit eerie but comforting.

And then we came upon a pile of sea lions. I have never seen them basically up on the ground like this before. There are many sea lions in Astoria and they like to hang out in different spots around the area, like in the water. I can hear them pretty much all day and all night. 
These crawled up a hill full of large sharp rocks to get to this location. They are loud and large, Kaya did not want to get too close to them.

Now I am home, in bed, Kaya sleeping next to me. I love being at home - solitude, quiet. I am going to read and watch stuff online for a few hours before I go to sleep.

Arrival Tuesday with everything that is needed for the week. It is funny because we bring so much with us to the club and end up wearing outfits that fit in the palm of a hand, with exception for the shoes.
I get my little corner. Set everything down.

Then I prepare the corner for me and my stuff. This is where I sit and read, sometimes write, eat, take naps and get away from people. At the end of the night I take home the black bag (outfits, make up, lotion etc) and the grey bag (laptop). The rest stays. And at the end of the work week, which is Saturday I take everything home with me until the next time which for me is the following Tuesday.

You never know in advance what the evening will be like. Tuesday and Saturday I had very good shifts and Wednesday it was empty and I left with $25. So you just never know. It could be fun, it could be boring. My mood changes wildly throughout the night. All kinds of people come through. Some are annoying and some are nice. Sometimes I am a dancer, sometimes I am a therapist. 
Swedish word of the day, "lycka" = happiness.

 

Wednesday somebody ordered us pizza and got us roses. Naaaaaaaw! Before we left I gave my rose to one of the other girls.
