#fixing things

[furiousgoldfish]

For those who need it: MercuryStardust on tiktok does a lot of videos teaching you how to do things yourself at home. Specifically in regards to fixing things. Please don't ever worry about how hard it can be to manage a house by yourself- as someone who had been told all his life I can't do anything, using YouTube tutorials and listening to creators like MercuryStardust helped me gain independence!!

Thank you for the resource!

Sam's grandfather had two core beliefs: (1) all things were knowable by anyone, and (2) anything was fixable if you took the time to figure out what was broken.

I had planned to write this afternoon. No children, no appointments, time for me. Yeah, sure 🤦‍♀️ Instead, I just spent two hours taking the washing machine apart, replacing the rubber seals, draining the floor pan, cleaning the drain pump and putting everything back together again. What was the biggest problem? My youngest likes lollipops… and Lego. (I found half a Lego set and four lollipop sticks.) Well, still nothing written, but at least I now know how to repair a washing machine. That's something.

as you may already know, a lot of things were broken when I moved into my "new" apartment (the apartment itself is pretty old and has never been renovated)—I like to take care of things, so this apartment became my new project with small steps everyday. When I moved in one door was missing and now, months later, I found the door in the basement, cleaned it and put it back in its place. This door is different from the others, and I like it the most, plus it fits my clock.

The wooden parts of the balcony were literally broken—cracked wood after decades of rain, so I replaced the most broken wooden panels. I'll probably just sand and repaint the rest.

Repairing myself

[captin-demi]

Fixed the busted toilet. Turned on the water it works starts to celebrate look over and now the faucet is leaking. 🤦‍♂️ it's too dark to go to the store again and start a new project. So I just shut the water off to it and called it a night. Still love this schooling life though 🚌 ❤️

November 2, 2024

October came and went like a lightening bolt, my apologies it's been a bit since I posted, things have gotten a bit crazy this way with some personal things. With luck now the October shuffles just about done and the November tubslide will be a bit gentler.

Onto some urban homesteading and otherwise~

I'm going to have to restart my fall seeds. Unfortunately, there was a bit of a situation which killed off my seed table and started plants entirely. For the most part, it's sorted, but I'll have to begin my fall and winter crops from scratch and hope there's time for em to grow. Otherwise I'll need to figure some other crops instead. Probably more chicken food or flowers/peas instead.

Thankfully, the already established in ground crops were okay for the most part. Some a bit stressed or stunted from lack of consistent watering.

Sweet potato has already started flowering now, i really didn't get any greenery from it so far (mayby a pound), so I'm just gonna let it keep going for now. When it msotly dies back I'll dig them out.

The sunchoke has now begun flowering, it's rather different than the last flowering I thought it did. Mayby a regular sunflower got mixed in? I did plant them around the time the regular sunflowers started sprouting.

I'm pretty excited to try the Tubers out, if there's enough for a decent harvest. Otherwise I'm taking them and spreading to another bit of the garden for fill in and propogation.

I can confirm, we do have a rooster. His name is Heihei. He's not gone through full second molt, but we've seen his curly feather, now hear his crowing and have caught him doing what roosters do lol.

Looks like I may get to try out hatching after all :)

No new layers so far, but hoping soon :)

Spotted this feather, which i believe belongs to one of the local woodpeckers. (I didn't take it, not allowed where I live)

Also have started spotting hummingbirds more locally and regularly. The parrots have returned again, though they aren't currently visiting us (no sunflowers yet ) and I think we've had a few female cardinals visit the lambs quarter plant I'm letting go to seed. Haven't noticed much in new bug species.

I got to learn how to change tires on a dolly this month. It was quite a bit easier than expected, cost less than $30 and gave new life to a good tool.

Thats it for now, ive got some chores to do and hopefully some time to get garden set up a bit :) new photos and updates coming ASAP!

🌱🍊Happy Urban homesteading🍊🌱

I love you, but not like that

Love doesn't always have to be romantic, and Misako knew that. Somehow it seemed to her that Wu didn't agree with that.

Misako and Wu relationship in the past (if you want I will add one with Garmadon later)

@46674332-Thank you for the request and patience.Hope you have more requests! I would love to write them!

Misako stood in the waiting room of Ninjago City Hospital.

Opposite her was Wu, with his innocent face expression and blue hair. He was staring at something behind her.

She could confidently say that she liked Wu at first sight. But not in that way.

She was attracted to his childlike innocence and naiveté in many things. Without hesitation, she could say he was her favorite among friends.

But recently, things had started to change in their relationship...

"Are you okay?" she asked when she saw him nervously shifting from one side of the chair to the other.

"I'm a little scared," he looked at her with the gaze of a wounded animal.

That was Wu. A man who could jump into any battle against anyone but couldn't receive an injection at the hospital without someone holding his hand.

It only attracted her to him even more.

"It will be okay," she comforted him. "You'll see."

He looked at her again.

Those looks were the reason why she began to feel unsure in their relationship.

Until a few months ago, they were just friends and nothing more. Then he started looking at her like that, and everything changed.

Almost as if he liked her?

That's when she began to doubt her feelings towards him.

Was it really just friendship, or did she not see something more?

"Garmadon...he teased me again today..."

And every time he mentioned Garmadon. She had a good relationship with him, but not as good as with Wu.

He was someone she could easily argue with, someone she could get mad at more easily. She could also confidently say that she really liked him.

Although Wu was more her type, Garmadon attracted her much more. Whenever she thought of him, she could say for sure that Wu didn't like her in that way.

"Don't worry, I won't tease you," she said when she remembered what Wu had said.

He looked at her again.

"But I'm embarrassed."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. For example, I'm afraid of spiders and I can't even kill the tiniest one. We all have those fears."

"Garmadon is rude," Wu sighed. "He doesn't know how much his teasing hurts me. He's just...a bad person."

"Don't say that," Misako said, surprised at herself. She felt no hatred towards Garmadon for teasing Wu. She felt only understanding.

"Why do you always defend him?" Wu asked angrily.

"I'm not defending him," Misako defended herself, and Wu looked at her skeptically.

"I sympathize with him. I also enjoy teasing people. Just tell him that it hurts you. I'll tell him if you want."

Wu looked at her as if he wasn't happy about talking to Garmadon about it.

As if he wasn't happy that she and Garmadon were getting closer.

"I don't like doing these things..."

"I know, Wu," Misako said with tenderness. "That's why everyone loves you, because you're a good person."

******

"See, it wasn't scary," Misako said as they were leaving the doctor's office.

He was still ashamed that she had to see him scared like a little child.

"It wasn't", he said quietly, still stealing glances at her.

"Thank you for coming with me." As he looked at her, he wondered if she felt anything towards him like what he felt towards her.

"No problem," she said as she turned to leave. Wu could only watch as she walked away.

"And Wu.."She started unsurly."I love you.i really do,but not like that."

He didn't need to say anything; she read him herself. He was just afraid that he had jeopardized their friendship.

He truly loved her and wanted her to be happy.

He just hoped that they could still spend time together.

He was just afraid that it wouldn't happen for a long time.

He had created a gap between them, he knew.

He would be alone because he would never be able to love anyone else the way he loved her.

And she didn't love him; she had told him that herself.At least not like that.

But maybe there is still a hope?(If dose thing that he started to see between her and Garmadon stop)

Garmadon and Misako talk is coming soon
