I had a wonderful day today. I woke up around 11 a.m. and was getting ready to walk the dogs when my brother arrived—just him, without his wife and daughter. We had a fantastic walk in the forest, and then he left. After that, I spent some time maintaining the pellet boiler and carrying pellets from the shed into the house. For those who’ve been following me for a long time, you know my boiler and I are practically one; I love it, and it loves me back. Maybe it’s my Eastern European roots speaking—around here, stoves are deeply rooted in folklore and hold sacred meaning, and a boiler is basically a stove.
Later, I shared a delicious frozen pizza with my dog, paired with some Coke, and watched a live show. It was amazing. The dark spots on the pizza aren’t burnt—they’re actually dark red, something like a jam. After that, I created a Reddit account and got banned from a group about puppies, which upset me, and I ended up biting my nails a lot.
Eventually, I pulled myself together and started working on the wiring and lighting for Barad-dûr. Technically, this Lego set belongs to my brother, but he doesn’t know how to do the wiring, so he asked me to handle it. I’d love to keep building it, but it’s almost 1 a.m., and I somehow need to make it to the gym tomorrow morning. A perfect day.
