Hello and happy Friday, friends! It's time for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, and we'd love for you to join us. My amazing co-host Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two fill-in statements, and I came up with the second two.
1. I'll never buy _________ from _________ again.
2. It's all fun and games until _________.
3. I once got lost _________.
4. _________ is the most normal thing about me.
My answers are below in bold. Yet again, they're accompanied by far too much rambling, but what's new.
1. I'll never buy chicken from the grocery store near my house again.
(This is kind of a boring answer, but it's what came to my mind. I recently bought a pack of chicken from the store in question, cooked it up immediately, and almost just as quickly the stuff went rancid. I buy chicken all the time from another store in our town, simply because I really like their chicken. I've never once had issues with that chicken going bad when made and eaten in a timely manner. I was recently at the store conveniently close to my house, though, and so I grabbed the chicken from my shopping list. As described above, though, I quickly remembered why I prefer the chicken from the other store in town.)
2. It's all fun and games until Evan sees me getting his meds ready.
(My poor boy Evan is such a sweet little guy. He is sugar, but of course with a little spice on the side. And that spice comes out when he sees me getting his meds ready. It takes me a while to prepare all of his meds, especially since he gets about 10 in the morning and 5 in the evening. I try to wait until he's playing or napping or otherwise distracted, but he never fails to hear or see me prepping his meds and so then he goes on a bit of a rampage. He's not aggressive or anything along those lines, but he expresses his frustration with what I refer to as rage peeing. As I prepare his meds I've learned to sequester him near me and to take away his beds and blankets, as those are what he targets with his rage pee. That all helps, usually, but that doesn't mean Evan is happy about those meds.)
3. I once got lost in a room full of pig carcasses.
(While studying animal sciences in college, one of my classes had a lecture at the university's meat packing facility. We were supposed to meet in a little classroom in the back of the building, but I made a wrong turn and found myself in a room with dozens upon dozens of pig carcasses hanging from the ceiling. There was not a single soul in sight to point me in the right direction, so I had to find my own way out of there. I felt like I was living out a horror movie.)
4. Adulting fatigue is the most normal thing about me.
(Being an adult can be tiring, what with work, chores, and all of that jazz. And I know I'm far from the only adult who feels this way, hence this being my answer. I tried to think of which of my passions and hobbies I could put for this, but even my somewhat normal habits are very unique to me. This is of course the case for most people, I'm sure. I love reading, for example, but my favorite books of late are about a guy wearing heart boxers and his talking cat who collects hats. So, simply getting tired and sometimes a bit frustrated with the whole adulting thing is my answer to this fill-in. After all, don't all of us find keeping up with things in life a bit overwhelming sometimes?)
We've had snow on the ground for weeks now. Eddy loves how the snow makes it easy to see squirrels moving around on the ground, and she very often spies on them during the white winter months. Of course, Eddy keeps tabs on those squirrels all year long, but watching them run around in the snow seems to be a favorite of hers.
Warm wishes to all!
