I am so glad I opened my mind to ships. When I was a baby in my first fandom I was very “only ship canon!!” I am so happy I grew out of that because there’s so many ships I love now that I would’ve turned my nose up to before

Sweet Smoke??? Evil yaoi polycule goes hardddd

Wine and Dine??? Fuck yeah let them kill each other

Tea with Poison (Charlotte Brontë (Poe Party) x Zoey Chambers)??? They could be The Worst/aff and be incredibly sapphic while doing it

DMOrin/The Gas Tango (DMA x Orin Scrivello (LSOH))??? Torture gets them high it’d be great

Thursdays blues three ways...

A Day Inside

Today was Valentine’s Day. It started out right at the freezing mark and managed to reach 43 degrees in the afternoon, and while there was some light sprinkling, much of the day passed without precipitation. At one point some blue sky managed to show through, as did the sunshine.

Nancy and I spent the entire day at home, celebrating by just being together. No cards, no flowers. But we did have some chocolate… brownies!

My blood sugar was at 170 on the first check today. It went up even higher on the second and third checks. Not sure what causes that.

After coffee and brain games, Nancy and I had oatmeal for breakfast, with the raisins we bought yesterday. It added a nice fruity touch.

I spent the rest of the morning reading the new J.A. Jance book. Nancy played her piano for a while and did some reorganizing of some of her art supplies.

After putting on a pot of pinto beans that we planned to have for dinner, we also made a batch of brownies.

About 12:30 p.m. we had a lunch of sandwiches and potato chips.

After lunch we finally showered and dressed. Then we took a brief nap. Followed by our first taste of the brownies. They were quite tasty!

I spent much of the afternoon still reading the J.A. Jance book. I finally had to stop in order to recharge the iPad when it got down to 10% power. An hour or so later it had enough juice to allow me to finish the book. Now I’ll have to go in search of something else to read.

Nancy also tried a glass of the Pinot Gris she bought at King Estate on Wednesday. It was part of a special small batch that’s fermented and aged in concrete vessels. She was quite impressed.

For dinner we warmed up the pot of beans, heated up some leftover rice, and made a small salad. We stirred salsa and shredded cheese in with the beans and rice, and Nancy threw some guacamole in hers. For dessert we had another nice chunk of brownie.

Tonight’s streaming started with the latest episodes of “Matlock” and “Elsbeth,” and we followed that with two episodes from “Still Standing,” featuring visits by Jonny Harris to the Oneida Nation of the Thames and Goderich, Ontario. The Oneida people were hard at work reclaiming the economic, cultural, and spiritual practices that were banned by government policies over the past 100 years. The residents of Goderich, known as “Canada’s prettiest town,” worked hard to restore the town after much of it was destroyed by a devastating tornado in 2011.

Tomorrow’s forecast calls for a low of 35 and a high of 49, but rain will once again stay away until the evening. Of course, the actual weather for the day will change faster than the app can keep up with it. We might even try to get out of the house.

Along the way, you’ll explore cascading waterfalls, such as Bridal Veil Falls and Latourell Falls, each framed by dramatic cliffs and lush greenery. Between waterfall stops, you’ll sample award-winning wines from the region’s vineyards, which are celebrated for their Pinot Noir and other varietals. It’s an experience that balances the rugged charm of nature with the refined pleasures of wine tasting.

Combining these tours allows travelers to immerse themselves in the full spectrum of Oregon’s allure. Begin your day marveling at the raw power and beauty of waterfalls, and end it by sipping exquisite wines while enjoying panoramic views of Mt. Hood. This pairing of natural wonders and culinary delights ensures a memorable journey that appeals to both adventurers and connoisseurs.

Whether you’re captivated by the thundering waterfalls or enticed by the flavors of Oregon’s wine country, these tours offer a perfect escape into the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Embrace the opportunity to connect with nature, indulge your senses, and create cherished memories in one of the most picturesque corners of the United States.
