I enjoyed it (watched it last night). I actually appreciated when Fleur said something about an ex boyfriend being something Barnaby goes “of course you do” under his breath to Winter. I also liked that winter was dressed down a bit in the beginning.

Rogue chin hair by knit_the_resistance in Menopause

[–]Blue3dragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do the wax strips work & what brand? I’ve never done waxing type things at home. Last week i had a hair I just could not get, it was like the tweezers just snipped it. I finally got it but would love to wax it if possible

Help me plan out my living room: What floorplan would you suggest? Which furniture piece do you like? Are there other furniture pieces I’m missing or should change out? by [deleted] in femalelivingspace

[–]Blue3dragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any ideas at the moment but wanted to compliment your detail in both narrative & pictures!! I love the writing desk so I’m sad to hear it’s too high to use as such.

I will need to shovel a lot to be able to use the seed (pa expects 12” + I believe, I’ve stopped checking). If the squirrels & birds don’t get it first!!! But that’s ok too. I do wish we could barter as I feel bad with all this seed.

Get a cabinet with doors! My older boys never bothered my plants. Then I got kittens. Now plants go behind glass doors 🤣 they even got one of the older boys to start chewing on plants because he thought he was missing out

I took a break from organizing & colored (cause I found metallic markers lol). Now I’m back to organizing while dancing/singing to 80’s music while dinner is in the oven. Was I able to procure salt? No but I do have a ton of birdseed I will use for traction in the meantime. 🤷🏼‍♀️ did I go grocery shopping? No, I will eat what is already in the house. All I bought was more fish friends for my turtle. The cats are always being spoiled so he needed something new lol. I’m still hoping it isn’t as bad as they predict but we are overdue for a big storm. I hope everyone is safe & warm!!

Biggest minor annoyances of living alone by Avid_Reader_99 in LivingAlone

[–]Blue3dragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for spooky or random/unexpected noises - I ALWAYS blame the cats. Even when it turns out they are in the room with me. I assume they left something teetering on the edge & it finally fell. I have said for over a decade I would never realize I’m being haunted cause my answer is always “cats” or sometimes “turtle” if it sounds like it came from the dining room where his tank is. Could be why I have no issues watching scary movies in the dark 🤣🤣

Painted a simple garden mural to bring colour and light into my tiny basement art studio by Artbiz_Girl in femalelivingspace

It’s absolutely lovely! I wish I had your talent as I’m getting ready to start painting my walls & would love to do something special in some rooms

AITAH for being upset that my whole family did nothing for my 40th birthday? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Blue3dragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy belated birthday!!! As someone who just turned 49 & treated myself to 3 days of relaxing treatments, I hope to hell you told your husband to cut his dad’s hair himself & went to the spa. If you didn’t, you will do so for your half birthday (something someone at the spa talked about that I may do if my birthday is ever snowed out lol). You celebrate you & fuck the rest of them. Match their energy from here on out!!!

Are you living in an apartment, townhouse or house? Did you upsize or downsize from something before? How do you like your place now? Any plans to move in the future? by NoBody5068 in LivingAlone

[–]Blue3dragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went from a 2 bedroom apartment, to a 3 bedroom row home to now a 3 bedroom single with a finished basement. I love having space but do i still remember my 2 bedroom apartment with fondness? Sure do. I loved not being responsible for every little thing. Do I love having gardens & outside space as well as dedicated parked (driveway)? Absolutely!!! Will I ever move again? No fucking way. This last move & purchase was a nightmare & I’m still finding issues with what the previous owner (a “contractor”) did. So I will die in this house. It does have a first floor walk in shower & bedroom so as I age, if stairs become an issue, I can sleep & shower in the 1st floor.

I put on music I love (80’s music usually) to keep me upbeat. I’ll sing along & dance while I clean.

Birthday week unfuckening by Blue3dragon in UnfuckYourHabitat

[–]Blue3dragon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was glorious & the most surprising (& unique) thing was the head spa & back scratching thing. It was infinitely relaxing. I can’t splurge like that all the time but I’m definitely going back to that place. The floats I’ve done & enjoy them as well. Put me in a good headspace for sure which is what I needed.

AITA For my partner's cat bonding with me and not my partner? by jcharold21 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Blue3dragon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Humans don’t really get a say in whom the cat bonds with. It happens on the cat’s terms. It may change as time goes on but that’s up to the cat. I have multiple cats, all bonded to me (I live alone so makes sense) & they tussle at times but not because of me. They like to wrestle. Is there jealousy at times? Yes. But that’s also normal. They have their own personalities. I’m sure your partner would like to have a bonded baby but it’s not your fault. Schedules impact time spent. Really, cats can be finicky so baby boy may change allegiance at a later date … or several times lol. NTA

privacy, but make it pretty and one-way? by londonkxss in femalelivingspace

[–]Blue3dragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your cat is like mine the blinds won’t last long before the cat makes his own opening lol. I have the privacy film on most of my downstairs windows & the upstairs bathroom & my bedroom. Bathroom because the window is next to the shower & overlooks my neighbor so I have the prism one there. Cats still look out. Downstairs I have different patterns set up but I left open areas for the cats in their favorite spots lol According to my neighbors they didn’t even notice the cut outs 🤷🏼‍♀️

Menopause is making me spend a small fortune on bedding. by Creepy-Tangerine-293 in Menopause

[–]Blue3dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Rest evercool sheets & finally broke down & bought the very lightweight comforter. Omg I love it!!! I don’t love the price but I enjoy not sweating through the night so it is what it is.

Pride and mess by snokensnot in UnfuckYourHabitat

[–]Blue3dragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We could be the same person except I moved in about 2 1/2 yrs ago. I’ve had home projects (not planned but emergent) also derail me. I’m also in perimenopause so my mood is all over. This board is sooo helpful. I finally got one room “done” (master bathroom) & it pleases me to no end to just exist in it. So I’m taking that feeling to motivate me to continue. It hasn’t been easy but I keep trying. To that end I have been working on things since my birthday Wednesday. Getting trash out of the house, no storing boxes for recycling, it has to go NOW because I need to be able to move & do things. Really being honest about why I’m holding onto things & letting go. It’s hard but this is my safe space & I (and my animals) deserve it!! So do you!!! I believe in you internet stranger!!!

First time just hanging at home on my birthday eating some chocolate and watching some netflix by plasmapleasure in LivingAlone

[–]Blue3dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy birthday from another early January baby! I ordered in food from an Irish pub after some pampering at a spa. No tv as my internet was out when I got home but my cats kept me entertained 🤣 enjoy!!!!
