  • 📷 April 2024 Micro.Blog photo challenge, Day 2: Flowers

    White bell-shaped flowers (lily of the valley) hanging from a curved stem amid broad green leaves; a white wall in the background.

    Lily of the Valley has always been my favorite flower. Some of my earliest memories are of me and Grandma, picking them on a shady hill at her old house. My Partner planted a ton of them in the backyard a few years ago. 😊🌼 #mbapr

  • 📷 April 2024 Micro.Blog photo challenge, Day 1: Toy

    A small dog rests beside a cinched plush toy resembling a log, in a room with a record collection.

    Russell was never all that fond of them but he would occasionally get a toy; he absolutely destroyed the squirrels inside the log. 🤣🐶 #mbapr

    Note: This post was backdated, as I missed the first day.

  • Dinner tonight… 😋🍱📷

    Sushi rolls in a tray with condiments; wasabi, pickled ginger, and soy sauce on the side, on a patterned fabric background.

  • Morning coffee with a morning view… ☕️❄️🏔️📷

  • Someone else didn’t want to wake up this morning either… 🐈 🥱 📷

    A fluffy gray cat is curled up sleeping on a couch beside a blue pillow, with the text 'lostinhaste.com' overlaid at the bottom.

  • I have a complicated relationship with Valentines Day. 🤔 No, it’s not actually complicated, I just hate it. 😅

    So, I was shocked to see what my Partner left for me this morning. 📷

    A metal bucket filled with ice and green bottled beverages on a countertop with a note, with heart stickers, reading: A Bucket* of goodies just for you on this Hallmark Holiday (*its pronounced 'Bouquet')

    He really is too sweet. 🫶🏻

    (In my defense, we did go out on Monday to “celebrate” the fake holiday.)

  • Decided to escape the house for a bit of nature with the Partner; in our defense, the sun was out when we started on our walk. 🌳🌥️

    It was a lovely walk, about four miles, in a local city park. 📷

  • I can’t believe it’s been a year since we said goodbye to Russell. The pain has faded a little but it feels like it’s been both an eternity but also just the blink of an eye since we said our farewells to our little puppy-rabbit. 💔

    Lots of tears today… 😭

    A tan fluffy dog rests on a blue quilt and beige cushion, looking directly at the camera. The watermark reads 'lostinhaste.com'.

    We miss you, we still miss you. 🐶🐕 📷

  • Finally got around to installing an “extender” SATA card into my media server, to add more drives…and of course, it doesn’t work. 😤 💾 📷

    An open computer case displays components and wiring. A spinning fan is visible on a motherboard lit by blue LEDs.

  • The “view” from inside the front door this morning. 🥶🧊📷

    Ice obscure the view through a window, hinting at an outdoor scene with blurred colors.

  • Went skiing earlier, the first time in seven years. We had a great time but good grief, I’m sore…where is a hot-tub when you need one?! 🤣⛷️📷

    (Not pictured: the massive amount of beginners on the slopes, they were everywhere, crashing into everything. 😮‍💨)

    A red snow groomer with a front blade is parked on a snowy surface, near pine trees and a clear sky overhead. A snowy ski slope with skiers and a chairlift, surrounded by trees under a blue sky with wispy clouds. Skiers descend a snowy slope with trees and clear skies. Skiers disembark from a chairlift atop a snowy hill. A snowy landscape with skiers on slopes and a chairlift, amidst leafless trees against a cloudy sky. Ski lift chairs ascend above a snowy slope with skiers; textured clouds and a setting sun provide the backdrop.

  • I had a craving earlier today and yea, it isn’t healthy at all but as it’s 10°F, so eating bad food doesn’t count. 🤣🥶

    A slice of cheese pizza rests on a blue-and-white patterned plate, with a granular topping, possibly Parmesan, on a kitchen counter with a calendar in the background.

    It would have been better if we went to Chicago but the pizza was still dang tasty! 🍕📷

  • We normally take down Christmas on January 6th (growing up, we’d leave Christmas up until Epiphany) but given the craziness of last weekend (trip to the theater, an engagement party, chores, & migraines), we just didn’t get to it…so tonight is it, say farewell to the Home Alone house. 🎄📷

    A miniature house (the Home Alone house, in Lego form), filled with lights, and van on a snowy landscape, surrounded by trees, with the website address 'lostinhaste.com' displayed as a watermark.

  • Snowfall and a Show

    Over the weekend, my Partner and I were offered tickets to see Mrs. Doubtfire at the local theater. 🎭 It was an unexpected treat (our friends had just come back from London and were rather jet-lagged), both the show and the holiday decoration in the theater.🎄 📷 It was also the first serious snowfall … read more

  • Whilst out walking on my lunch break, I saw some winter lettuce. 😀 🚶🏼‍♂️ 🥬 📷

    Three different types of winter lettuce, along with fallen leaves, in a galvanized metal container.

    It was good to get out of the house for some fresh air; I really need to do more of that this Winter.
