GM Nostr friends. It is Friday, my gals and dudes.
I keep hearing this weird sound outside, almost like a bird flapping its wings to ruffle up its feathers, if said bird were made out of plastic. Finally looked outside, and there's a shredded up plastic bag stuck high up in the branches of a neighbor's tree, and the wind has been catching it. Mystery solved!
My hands are healing up nicely from my stumble on Monday. The right palm has a pretty solid scab on it that stretches and breaks a little when I lay my hand flat, so that's not fun.
Bingo with a group of friends tonight, and I'm definitely looking forward to it. This has been a rough week at work.
Happy Friday, all!

Junky candy (Reese's, about a dozen Andes mints), restaurant food (although my meals were delicious), and ice cream. I did fit some salads in there too, but mostly just garbage calories that taste good but do nothing other than push my weight back up.

Ha, thanks! Lost some skin on my palms, but mostly just damaged my dignity.

GM Nostr friends.
I'll keep this short, as my hands hurt too much to type. 😪
Tripped and fell over my own feet walking Lu this morning. (I was wearing sandals, so I blame them.) I took several steps trying to avoid a collision with the ground, and lost. Scraped up both palms, and landed hard on my right hip and shoulder, and definitely strained the muscle going from my wrist to my right thumb. Nothing seems to be broken, so I just limped home and cleaned out my abrasions. Still....ow.
Must be Monday.

I need to detox from sugar, primarily. I had been good for so long, and then started eating bad stuff lately. Feels gross, and I know better.

I've been doing an 18:6 myself, but Hubby and I were both terrible this past weekend, so I'm going to try and do a 20:4 today and tomorrow. Hope you make it through the 36 with no issues. Let me know how it goes!

Made it through my 18 hour fasting today. It was a lot easier than last week, and I only cheated yesterday with an iced coffee. Stomach rumbling getting to a minimum!

Believe me, I wish I had an answer! I've prayed about it so much, and things will be good for a while. Lu is going to be 14 years old next month. She's potty trained, except for when she gets upset for being left alone for hours at a time.
The situation is so blown out of proportion. She pooped, I cleaned it up, should be the end of the story. She's a dog, and is not going to understand. I've tried to explain that.

2026-03-30 18:22:32 UTC

- reply

I'm not going to disagree. It's frustrating for me because it's not a big deal in the least so I don't understand. I feel for him, as he loves me but never signed up for being a dog step-father. My dog is the child of my heart and I want to protect her as well. It's not a great situation.

2026-03-30 13:30:42 UTC

Yesterday morning, my thinking prior to leaving for church: Hm, things have been going well with leaving Lu for a few hours while we're at church.
Lu (thinking): I'm done being a good girl for today.
*Myself and Hubby checking on Lu via camera before church starts, note that kennel door is somehow open and Lu is nowhere in sight*: 🤨🤔😒🙄
Upon returning home, we find she managed to not only get out of her kennel, but poop outside her diaper on top of my heating pad (thankfully the diaper caught her pee), which was folded up on the floor near Hubby's couch. Commence him freaking out (he is a germaphobe, and barely handles having the dog around at all) while I try desperately to balance Lu being terrified out of her mind while he yells at her and clean up the mess.
No way he would allow me to just clean and wash the heating pad, it had to be thrown out and then he was pissed the rest of the day, insisting the house smelled like dog poo even after I sprayed everywhere and lit a candle.
I really hate Sundays.

2026-03-27 12:25:27 UTC

GM Nostr friends!
Sipping my plain (bland, boring, acidic k-cup) coffee this morning for Day 3 of my new Intermittent Fasting process. Made it 18 hours yesterday, hoping to get to 20:4 for my ratio and just see how I feel. So far, it's been pretty good. I feel energetic and once the hunger pains go away, it's not hard at all. We'll see if I stick with it long-term. I do love breakfast.
Other than that, it's Friiiiiiiiday! Hubby purchased the audiobook of Project Hail Mary some time ago, so I'm listening to it now. Pretty dang great story so far. Lots of humor, and even if I don't follow most of the science-y stuff, it's still very well written. Hopefully I can finish it while the movie is still in theaters!
Have a great day, y'all!

GM Nostr friends.
I'm quite tired this morning. It's been a rough week here in Baer Country, but I think I'm finally on the upswing. The warmer weather and hearing birds chirping definitely cheers me up.
We're halfway through March already. Didn't January and February last roughly six months each? Once spring is on the way, nothing stops the train.
I'm going to go drink my coffee and finish waking up.

Indeed. Nuisance snow, I call it. Just enough to make things annoying for a week or so!

2026-03-15 22:31:54 UTC

GE Nostr friends.
Well, Snowmageddon 2026 didn't happen. We're supposed to continue getting snow through the later evening, but it's mostly done. All said, we got probably about 11", which is nothing to sneeze at. Hubby is still disappointed. 😜
Made a roast in the crockpot and just finished dinner. It was delicious. Lu was quite upset we didn't share, but Hubby made it with french onion soup mix so she would've been sick. I still feel bad telling her no - she went to the end of the couch and pouted and wouldn't respond.
Watching a Banana Ball game - Coconuts vs Clowns - to round out a pretty good weekend.
Have a good evening, all!

Our steps turned into a ramp overnight! Hubby shoveled out for Lu and I to get down. This was about an hour ago, and you already can't tell we were ever outside.

GM Nostr friends.
Finally Saturday! Last night I went to dinner and bingo with some friends, and had a great time. Didn't get home until almost 10pm, which is crazy late for me. Hubby was so sweet - I did some of my laundry earlier in the day, and he took it out, folded, and put most of it away. Also cleaned up around the house and took Lu out. It was lovely.
Oh, and I also won $100. NBD. ☺️
Today so far has been some chores around the house while listening to the Once We Were Spacemen podcast. Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion just chatting with each other and guests? Sign me up.
Trying to get some of my dad's saved recipes and old photos sorted and scanned this morning so I can have them for always. Lots of feels, but I mostly made it through without any tears, so props to me!
Have a lovely Saturday, all.

Thank you! It was a rough (ruff?) couple days, but much better now.

2026-03-04 20:14:40 UTC

GA Nostr friends.
I had a tough last couple days. Hubby and I have butted heads many times over Lulu. Monday night he was in a bad mood already due to some miscommunication between us earlier about the dog earlier in the day. We ended up working it out by bed time, but it was still tense for several hours that wore on us both. I ended up bawling, because this is the kind of thing I used to talk through with my dad, so I just ended up missing him intensely in addition to being stressed out.
Tuesday morning I wasn't feeling good in the stomach region, and ended up losing it all over the carpet and bathroom. Literally the worst mess I've ever had to clean up, and it was my own doing. Nothing like trying to clean your own vomit out of the carpet when you already don't feel well! https://dl.vanderwarker.family/images/nostr/emojis/blob/blobimfine.png Now our carpet is permanently stained. I just ordered a runner rug to cover it up until we eventually get it replaced.
Feeling better today after a decent sleep. Nice to have some calories in my system too. I still have to look at the carpet and feel awful about it, though.
Every day is a new day, right? Just trying to get through a tough start to the week. Hope everyone is having a decent week.

2026-03-01 13:48:50 UTC

It's hard to tell here, but she has her little nose buried in the crook of my elbow, and I...ahh! I can't. Just too cute and precious.

We're looking at settling somewhere in the SW states once we retire. I hate spiders, and my husband absolutely loathes mice. I think between all the snakes and scorpions is the sweet spot!
There's a trade off wherever you go. I've never had to think about creepy crawlies hiding in my shoes, but I've also been stuck in heavy snow and had to deal with incredibly cold conditions. We also get the millions of mosquitoes and really humid/hot summers - especially the last few years.
Transparent scorpions though...that'd be a new one. I know I'd probably freak out if something moved really fast in the bathroom in the middle of the night while I was still half asleep!

2026-02-27 13:24:54 UTC

GM Nostr friends!
Hubby has nothing to do at work today, so he decided to stay home and get some things done around here and at his mom's house. He just came in while I was browsing my Nostr feed and gave me a neck massage. I could get used to this!
We watched the first Banana Ball game on Youtube last night, and it was awesome. (Baseball is the one sport I will watch on the regular and actually know something about. Good memories as a kid of sitting with my dad while he explained the rules and we watched hours of the Minnesota Twins.)
Happy Friday, all!

I've been having variations of this dream for years now. Always me wandering around in some kind of parking garage looking for my car, so I figured it was something with transport or freedom. Identity and paths are an interesting idea, I need to think about that some more. 🤔

#AskNostr What's the best non-KYC option for buying bitcoin using US-based options? (Venmo/Cash App/Zelle)
I was using BitcoinWell, but even if they're non-custodial, they're still KYC.
RoboSats very rarely has any offers with payment options I can use. I'm not signing up for Strike, and I for sure will not buy USDC or Monero just to swap for BTC.

Work has been really quiet lately - to the point of being incredibly boring and I'm *searching* for things to keep me busy.
It's been really cold out, and I am desperate for a short vacation somewhere warm. Hubby and I have talked about becoming snowbirds and going to AZ or somewhere in the Southwest after retirement.
I'm looking for a break from the norm - maybe that's all it is?

2026-02-26 13:39:21 UTC

GM Nostr friends.
Maybe someone can interpret this for me?
I have a recurring dream that I'm wandering around in a parking garage (I'd assume the one I use for when I have to go into the office), and I can't find my car.
Often I'm alone, but sometimes someone else is with me, and I'm frustrated, walking up and down the rows trying to find it. I distinctly remember parking and knowing where the car was when I left, but whenever I get back, it's not where I left it.
I spend each dream doing everything I can to find my dang car while getting frustrated to the point of tears. Wandering up and down and through each ramp, asking people for help, and just not being able to find it until I finally wake up.

Just finished my coffee. My sweet pup is curled up in her bed snoring softly, and the morning is still quiet as the world wakes up.
My back doesn't hurt (but does itch a little), my stomach is fine, and no headaches today. I'm grateful for my health. I'm grateful to have a job, and especially one that allows me to work from home while providing health insurance. I make a living wage, and can wear comfy clothes doing so.
God is and always will be good, no matter my circumstances. I am blessed beyond belief, and I am daily surrounded by the things and people I used to pray for.
Have a happy Wednesday, all.

And just like that, the cyst in my low back is gone! (It looked like a little raisin.) My doc got the whole thing out, and I've been stitched up and made it home in one piece.
Sleet is happening, and driving the .25 miles to get from the clinic back home was sketchy. My car was covered in ice, and so are the roads. If you're in the Twin Cities, please be careful today, friend!

GM Nostr friends. Just ran across a funny photo from a few nights ago on the rare occasion that Lu stayed on Hubby's lap long enough for me to snap a photo. (She usually goes to him for about 30 seconds to get some butt scratches, and then jumps down to come back to me.)
Love these two. 🥰 Happy Friday, all!

2026-02-19 13:31:32 UTC

GM Nostr friends. It's Thursday.
Hubby and I are starting to talk about becoming semi-permanent snowbirds after retirement, hopefully somewhere in northern Arizona or somewhere similar. (We don't want the Tucson degrees of heat.)
Despite living my whole life in Minnesota and being "used to it", I've always hated winter. We got another couple inches of snow last night after having almost a week of Spring-like weather. I'm so excited at the thought of being somewhere warm in the colder months. No more snow. No falling on tricky patches of ice. Just warmth and not a flake in the sky (or maybe just a dusting - I'm okay with that.)
Ahh. 🌵☀️

Windy, cloudy, and rainy here today. It's also Trash Day for my neighborhood, so the wind has taken all sorts of bits out of cans and scattered them around. Ew, and also sigh. I try to do my part and pick up bits of trash when I take Lu out for walks, so it looks like I'm gonna need to bring a bag with me today.
Headed out to hotpot with Hubby, our mutual friend Amy (who works with him), and their other friend who did also work with them, but got fired on Friday. (Long story.) Oy, it's going to be all work talk over dinner. At least the food will be good?

Just got home from the dentist. All squeaky clean, and no cavities! 💪
Quiet day here. I had Lu in her new kennel while I was at the dentist. Thankfully I had put a diaper on her, as she peed while I was gone. We're trying to get her used to the kennel so we don't have to worry about her having accidents all over the house, but she's an old pup (14 in April), and I'm not sure if the new situation is working. At least our camera caught her lying down in the kennel so she wasn't as anxious as last time, but it's still hard leaving her knowing she's scared.

Why I'm not afraid of AI taking over:
Trying to finish my dad's taxes, but I need his SSA-1099 income form. Haven't received it yet. Tried to sign into the Social Security Admin website, it wanted pics of his license and a selfie (uh...best I can do is a pic of his urn?).
Finally gave up and called, and got stuck in a loop with their automated service. Confirmed his info, told it what I wanted, and then it tried to tell me I should just go do it online, it's faster. NO IT IS NOT. At least another two rounds of trying to get somewhere before it finally put me through to an actual human.
I explained the situation, she confirmed his info again, and then said she would issue a new copy of the form. Probably a two minute conversation start to finish, whereas I spent at least double that with the friggin' answer bot.

My husband introduced this to me the last time we were at the range. I don't have the strength in my fingers to load manually, so this is definitely a useful item!

GM Nostr!
Talking to Hubby this morning about defending one of my sweetest coworkers, and compared her to our mutual friend Amy who actually set us up (Hubby works with her):
Me: Also, anyone gets on the offense against the other (coworker), my hackles go up instantly
Me: She is pretty much the sweetest person ever
5m
❤️
Hubby: THOSE ARE THE ONES WE NEED TO PROTECT. WELL DONE, LOVE
5m
Me: lol, thanks!
Me: I don't think I get bitchy too often, but someone tries something with her, my claws will definitely come out
Me: It would be like someone verbally attacking Amy
3m
Hubby: THAT WOULD BE AN UNFORTUNATE DAY FOR SOMEONE HERE
3m
Me: No kidding
Me: And yes, exactly
Me: I got money for bail.
Me: And I got crazy in my veins!

My dreams are always super odd - you're not alone! A couple nights ago I was trying to steer a raft with my (now deceased) family on it, and we were trying to get to a certain spot, but my oar wasn't big enough to turn where we needed to go. I'm sure someone could psychoanalyze that pretty easily, at least!

I'm really tired today. Must be the weather? 🥱☁️

Y'all, I must not be feeling well. I did not want coffee this morning.
Correction, I guess: I did not want to make my own coffee this morning. I would've been happy with an iced can of coffee. (I ended up making my own because I'm lazy and too cheap to drive to a shop and wait in line to spend $5.)

Yikes! Your brain is definitely working through something. Hopefully it figures whatever it is out soon!

Exactly. I've been on pretty much every social media platform out there at one point or another and each one felt...empty? Devoid of connection? Like we were meant to consume content, but never anything more.

😁 Oof. Tough club membership!

GM Nostr friends.
So I've been around here for over a year now, and I'm trying to think if I can summarize my general approach to this new world of social media. I think I try to spread a little cheer and gentle encouragement. I have tried to be deliberate about it, because I am generally pretty sarcastic and more unfiltered in my face-to-face interactions.
Nostr is the first online space where I've felt a sense of ownership, where instead of being the product, I am part owner. As such, I want to bring a sense of welcome to any who stumble to this corner of the internet, and make people feel seen (read?).
Anyway, I dunno. Everybody doing okay today?
I did a workout on my stationary bike last night, and now my butt is achy this morning.
