From what I know, fireflies love dead leaves and laying eggs under those. So don’t rake the leaves! Let them be. Or some of them at least. We haven’t raked leaves from under our bushes for ages and we always get some fireflies in the summer now!

Deviled eggs are not allowed near me or I hoover them up with frightening speed!

So delicious!

Grab all the canned stuff I made at home, and either just ask my mother to buy all them for 40 (a family member can pay me, right?) or convince the family friend who loves the candied jalapeños to buy them.

Overtime I must imagine I’ll be petty as fuck, but starting out I’m just making sure public transport and education are taken care of. Mostly by hiring smarter people than me to make my dream of not having to own a car a reality.

Chicken buillon powder at the Asian Market.

It’s nice! I like it better than the store brand I normally get.

I asked if we could order food, husband said no. But it was very likely, it’s the end of the month.

The ocean! So fascinated by it! I love it, but it is always there, waiting. No need to go to it. It will get you eventually.

Indeed!

You have to pay to leave the state so very obvious leaving!

Oh wow that’s a deep memory. It was one of the songs mother sang to us at night. That and Oranges, Lemons.

I’m annoyed the tomatoes went from growing good to growing Very Sad

This is on me, and it is my first time planting and I mostly went “eeehhhh I think this is good”

I did my goal, which was get from seed to red tomato.

But now there’s fungal infections, end rot, armyworm moths, splitting skin, and general sadness.

I did get enough to make salsa though.

I feel our ancestors spirits because I’m sure they felt the same way about farming.

I hate the spotted lanternflies! When they’re small and black and white they hop and scare me! When they’re a bit bigger and red they’re more scary! Then they get WINGS. Eurgh.

We also have the tree of life around which is what they enjoy munching on. I’d like both gone!

I found out all the ladybugs here are the invasive ones. And if I want to buy ladybugs for pest control, I can only buy the invasive ones. Annoying.

We do at least still have some native pollinators and other bugs.

Garlic and onion are the godly things in cooking.

If I’m cooking those (usually with butter but sometimes just oil) invariably husband or twin will be like “oooo what smells so good” and laugh at me when I’m “its onion and garlic, the same thing y’all find amazing every other time!”

Just adultery! The normal!

Yeah, my father would believe me, especially after I just tell him exactly what he’s been doing.

This will unfortunately cause a divorce several years early but probably for the best.

Could get in literally at the earliest for bitcoin. And just “yeah apple is going to do…a lot. Get on that”

Candied jalapeños are fun. Sweet but still spicy!

I cook 95 percent of the time. Husband can reheat or heat up a frozen thing, but not cook very well. Twin cooks dinner on Friday but sometimes just gets fast food for us. We also order more than we should. But if someone is cooking is probably me. And if it’s baking its 100 percent me. Twin fucked up box brownies once and won’t do more than boxes ever again.

“Help help! I’m being affectionated, a crime against all cats!!”

We had no consoles, I saved all my money to buy a Gameboy color and Pokémon crystal.

Which mother then said I had to key my twin use as well

Annoyed as fuck over that. They could have bought their own damnit

Mother looked at the games I bought for the color but I only really played crystal, donkey kong, that sort of thing.

The computer was edutainment games only, but me and twin liked Oregon trail 2 and Amazon trail and the like.

Once the internet arrived they didn’t realize I found a place to download like rpg maker games.

Into a teacup, into the fridge, then when full and solidified, peeled out and thrown into the trash.
