Social Distancing Lessons

Today I’ve Learned….

In Florida it is legal to own sloths & foxes (with a permit)

Going on a Raw Vegan diet may starve me

It’s possible to easily jump through a hotel window (thanks Cops.. nothing like making me feel safe when I travel)

There is a website that has vintage recipes with pictures of the original handwritten ones here (I’m planning to make vintage French Toast tomorrow)

When I cry at night, the next day is absolute mental & physical crap

For under $50, a man with a riding lawn mower can turn a jungle of grass into a nice landscape (we tipped him, don’t worry)

President Trump’s spray tan appears to be getting darker, as the circles around his eyes are getting lighter (just observation from these Corona Virus updates)

I want a bathtub that my body can fit in, really bad

There is such a thing as a piano bed. I’m not kidding. Watch this tiny home Youtube video here. Want to save space? Just sleep in your instrument.

Today, was an emotionally exhausting day. My head hurts and my eyes feel weak. I did a lot of pinning of comfort foods on my Pinterest, Farm N Sunflowers. Somehow, I went from recipes to a Youtube video of a cute fox that was rescued. This immediately lead me into researching the laws on fox ownership. Apparently it is illegal to adopt a fox in SC. Bummer. It will have to wait until we move by the ocean in Florida one day. After my momentary excitement of owning a fox was met with a dead end, I U-Turned into researching a raw vegan diet. It sounds quite healthy, considering the menu of what can be eaten looks short. And raw. My french toast recipe for tomorrow would not be allowed on that diet. Considering breakfast is an essential part of my day, the uncooked food meals have to wait.

As I was typing this I looked up to see my cat Snuggs with Bella’s double dish cat holder hanging from his collar. After he stole her food, the bowl literally stole him. Karmas a bitch. It should make total sense why I am never again buying my cats those clean looking Rae Dunn bowls with the words on them. Since I purchased several bowls, the cats have broken all but one of their pottery dishes. They have made it clear that they have no desire to be designer cats.

I ordered “The Nesting Place” by Myquillyn Smith off Amazon today. If you are interested in checking out the book, you can find it here. I have really enjoyed her book, “The Cozy Minimalist Home.” If you find a good writer it is definitely worth seeing what else they have out there. It’s so interesting how everyone has their own story and way of telling it. Grasping my attention is an extremely hard thing to do these days. I will start books and put them down to collect dust. I’ve found though that I am wanting to be near books that are about self care & that which brings peace. Hence, why I have enjoyed the above writer, Myquillyn Smith. She has a relatable writing style that I find myself agreeing with often. Hopefully, her books can simplify my home, life, and mind. Not a bad deal for under $20.
