Apparently the last time I posted was 3 months ago. Even when I mean to be diligent, I can't.

I've gotten used to living out here. Would I like to be closer to things? Yes. But beggars can't be choosers, so here I am.

I ordered some cute mushroom art (Johanna Forster) for my kitchen wall, and once I get frames (and get Ricki to come over with her drill and whatnot), I'll hang it up. I want to get rugs for the living area and sleeping area, but I can't decide what I want to get, so I keep postponing the decision. I also need to get a new kitchen runner, because the cheap mat I got in the old place is really gross.

I took a spontaneous day trip to Ueckermünde yesterday, which is the coastal town I went to for my birthday in 2022. Once again in the off season, but that's fine. The weather was clear, if a bit cold, but sitting in the sun with a view to the beach and having Kaffee und Kuchen was worth it. I also saw the biggest swan I've ever seen in my life. I had a nice latte and waffle at a cafe called Wohlfühleck (good feeling corner), walked the half-hour to the beach, strolled, sat, strolled, had coffee at Nordlicht (which is almost entirely meat/fish dishes), strolled, watched birds, and walked back to the train station. I left Berlin at 8:25, got there around 11, and got the 5 pm train home.

I got a pet stroller for Musya, and she doesn't seem to hate it. She sleeps in the basket part sometimes (it doesn't fold, only the part with wheels does), and when I take her out, she sits up and looks out with her ears up (curiosity). She started squeaking after a short time today, so I brought her back in, and she went in the litterbox a few minutes later. lol. We probably won't be going out again for a while, because the weather is about to become Yucky.

And of course she just jumped in my lap when I was about to get up and go play some more Hades 2.
