BABYFEVER | (h.lewis)

summary: Y/N sees a TikTok from side+ and gets severe babyfever

wordcount: 1k words

pairing: harrylewis x singer!reader

warnings: none

notes: Y/N is watching this TikTok, literally freaked when I saw it🥲 enjoy and comment your thoughts!

You lay on the couch in the living room, having finished the studio session for today, while scrolling on TikTok and coming across a new side+ TikTok where AI generated the sidemen and what their baby would look like. Harry was the first to start and your ovaries screamed. You‘ve never seen a baby as cute as that and the way Harry was holding it? Get out of here. You needed that, right now.

You‘ve been together for ages as well, and both of your parents annoyed you with a: ”When’s the first baby coming“ weekly. Both of you never felt ready or mature enough to raise a small human being that relied on you, you could barely take care of yourself. Often forgetting to do chores like washing your clothes or bringing out the trash. Don’t get me started on how often you didn’t want to cook, so you just ordered something in, getting takeout way too much. How were you supposed to take care of another breathing thing. You literally gave little Herb to his parents, because you didn’t have enough time to care for him the way he deserved to be cared for.

You loved the trips you took spontaneously or the festivals you could visit without thinking twice. That would change, you weren’t sure if you were ready for this, it was a big responsibility.

But seeing him holding that baby made you forget all the worries, and wanting a baby right now, you needed to see him caring for a child and cuddling with a small human.

He was already the best caring boyfriend you could imagine, massaging your shoulders after a long day, bringing you snacks throughout the day when you worked on new songs in your little home setup, cuddling with you when you craved human contact, and giving you space when you didn’t. He watered the plants when you forget or made the bed when you had to hurry and overslept again. Sending you sweet (or horny) messages when a sidemen shoot took longer than expected and you couldn’t watch your favorite movie as you planned.

And now imagine this man with a kid. It would be chaos but good chaos. Trying to make you breakfast with his little mini-me for you, would end up with flour all over the kitchen floor and the toast black instead of a nice crispy brown. While they go because they had an important ’meeting‘ with the stuffed animals, you had to clean up but you wouldn’t really mind.

Spoiling your child with clothes and toys he found while shooting a sidemen video in central London. Just like he said he would be the fun uncle that gives the sidemen kids candy under the table, he would be the fun dad that could never say ’no‘ to anything and give them candy over the table, because he was the dad and could do anything he wanted.

Comforting them in the middle of the night when a nightmare occurred or the diaper needed a change. Getting the morning cuddles in before both of you had to get up. Your baby laying on his chest and enjoying the skin-to-skin time with their daddy, a hand constantly on their back to comfort them.

He would use every chance to talk about his baby, whether in a sidemen video or on the podcast when the topic was a completely different one.

The way he would sit down at the small table for a tea party dressed as a fairy or play football in the morning on the still wet grass while you prepared breakfast.

He would freak out of excitement on special occasions, like Easter or Christmas, probably more excited than your child.

He would buy way too many gifts and colorful eggs and hide them around the house and garden for your kid to search for when they are older and acting all surprised when they found something. He would definitely hold the egg basket when your baby would say: ”dada hold“, your heart clenching at the thought.

He send you way too many videos on Instagram of dads putting shoe prints with boots and flour on the floor, acting like Santa left them, always telling you how he wanted to do that with your future kids. Drinking the milk, eating the cookies they left out, and putting the carrot for Rudolph back in the fridge. He wouldn’t help with wrapping but definitely chose the gifts, many of them.

So when Harry came through the front door and shouted out a loud: ”Y/N, I‘m home“ and stood up and walked in his direction.

”I want a baby.“

Harry was on his way to greet you with a hug and a kiss but froze in his movements and his eyes widen.

”You, you you you you want a what?“, his stuttering got the best of him.

You chuckled and went to hug him but him being too shocked to hug you back.

”A baby, Harry“, you put your hands on both sides of his head. ”I saw the side+ TikTok where you looked at the AI babies, and that was the cutest thing ever, imagine a small you running around the house.“

It was like a light went on over his head, now understanding where this sudden baby fever came from.

”Let’s get to work then“, he said and scooped you up before carrying you to the bedroom.

Daily Check-in: April 9, 2024 🎀

Tuesday was an odd day for me. Everything went fine, work went well, but for some reason by the end of the day, I was super upset about things, which was not what I had hoped to feel by the end of the day. But the day itself wasn't bad.

🩷 What I Accomplished:

listened to two podcast episodes in Spanish for passive input

typed up a detailed goals sheet

attended both classes for the day

worked an ~8 hour shift

studied chemistry

hit over 10k steps

began looking at how to fit exercise into my schedule/club pilates classes I could take

🩷 Good Things That Happened:

my supervisor and I knocked out a large catering order on time

talked to my dad on the phone for a bit

went to my psyc class, which I typically struggle to do

Realized studying the material from chemistry was actually helping me retain the information

got semi invited to go out after work some day soon with some work friends

🩷 What Could've Gone Better:

didn't get home until late cause work took forever

got weirdly emotional before falling asleep

super short zoom call with my boyfriend

did not study Spanish the way I wanted

was super tired all day

drank a coffee from a coffee shop on campus, and it messed up my stomach absolutely terribly (I need to stop buying coffee, my stomach can only handle the simple ones I make at home)

a co-worker was talking trash for no reason and was being super fake to my face, which was not fun because I thought him and I were cool with each other

🩷 Stuff To Do Tomorrow:

write psyc notes from lecture

study chemistry some more

decide final decision on declaring a 2nd major

double check my class schedule for next semester ( I register for classes tomorrow!!)

study my Spanish tasks that I didn't do Tuesday

keep boosting my depop shop (woke up to my first sold item this morning!)

cook dinner after lab

yeah, there's probably more that happened on Tuesday. Both good and bad, but I have no idea what it would be. I was so tired when I got home that I just forgot everything. I've got some weird memory issues. here's to tomorrow being better, hopefully!

til next time lovelies 🩷

p.s - check out my depop shop, still uploading need listings as I can! 💗

Red Red Red! I want you to know that this episode of the podcast came out on Australia Day (*cough cough* Invasion Day *cough cough*) so thank you for sharing small bits of First Nations culture even though it was probably unknowingly :). This entire country has been a trash fire ever since James Cook invaded and I’m glad you managed to unwittingly share a little bit about it!

hey nice! serendipity!

But their bills are astronomical. Just the upkeeping on the house alone, housekeepers, nannies, gardeners, cooks, repairs is costing them a few hundred thousand a month. Then there's the mortgage which costs another few hundred thousand. She's spending millions on PR even after getting dropped for being $2million in debt to Sunshine Sachs. The awards she's bought haven't come cheap either. The Gracie award is picking up clout on podcast land. But she has no projects at play that are actually generating money. She may be scrambling around trying to make an Archetypes 2, but she's not gonna get enough big names to interview and her name on its own sends people running for the hills. Spotify has yet to pick up another season though she's buying those awards to pitch hard. She has no source of future income (other than child support) and she's hustling. This is to say nothing of her legal fees, her personal assistants, her publicists, her agents, and (underpaying) the assholes she's got mailing out Starbucks cards at Archewell. I'm sure Doria's services don't come cheap either.  I mean, a bunch of nothing isn't going to do itself. I personally think Doria blackmails her daughter by threatening to tell the truth about who she is and how she didn't grow up like a black girl from Compton, but instead had a more privileged upbring that 80% of US citizens, regardless of their color. Doria also probably knows Meghan's shadiest and most sordid maneuvers to get where she is.  Doria stays silent in the background, but she's got stories to tell. And one wrong move from Meg, and they WON'T be the stories singing Meg's praises.  That's my theory anyway.

I also believe that I was right in December when I said Netflix is done with Meghan. The last thing left on their roster is The Heart of Invictus set to come out this summer, but I've heard it's being edited to focus on the athletes and occasionally Harry.  I've even heard that they may trash a lot of last year's footage, wait until this year's Düsseldorf games, and film those, Harry's-Wife-Free.  NF was reportedly unhappy with how the games suddenly focused on the ILBW, how she commandeered things, taking attention from the athletes and Harry, who's cause this is.

Remember that ridiculous kiss between her and Not-the-Heiry, and all her prancing around in couture (which she supposedly at least tried to bill to them) instead of wearing the standard issue festive polo and khakis/jeans, Well Netflix supposedly does and they supposedly don't like it. I always think of her sashaying around in Valentino while everyone else wore the Invictus clothing. It's such a stark comparison to how the other Royals function.

One of my favorite pictures of Wills and Kate is at the London Olympics. They're both wearing the clothing made for Olympics viewers, and in a rare show of affection, they are grabbing each other and smiling from ear to ear while staring downfield  cheering Team Great Britain.  They aren't eye fucking the cameras. They aren't wearing rictus grins and inserting themselves into ceremonies and celebrations where they don't belong. They're embracing, but their focus isn't on trying to make everyone believe how in love they are; their focus is on the games even as they embrace each other! They're dressed in their team colors focusing on THEIR TEAM.  The result is one of the best pictures of them I've ever seen. The soon-to-be-ex Mrs.Mountbatten Windsor looks like a fool at everything she does because she refuses to accept it's not about her. She can scream at, abuse, and gaslight Harry all she wants to, blaming their status as the laughingstock of the world on him, but she's the one who looks ridiculous and unlike Harry, she's the one running around looking ridiculous wearing a million dollar wardrobe.  I wish she'd get a clue but she's a narcissist, and she never will.

Facts about Avery!

• His character was made with the soul of a kid named Avery L. Lynn

• He's a generally a timid character, And he usually starts thinking of the worst things that could happen, so he usually backs out of activities that could really harm him

• He has inattentive ADHD, so it's usually hard for him to focus sometimes, so he usually zones out in conversations randomly, and He listens too much, because he always thinks that him talking could annoy his friends, so he usually keeps quiet

• He generally prefers staying inside his comfort zone, and this means staying with his friends and not really branching out, he's also very introverted so he isn't that good at starting conversations

• He tends to overthink a lot, And it's something he struggles with deeply

• He can get sensitive at times, but he stays silent about it, just to keep his friends happy

• He has some Monophobia, And he doesn't really like being alone all that much, so he prefers to stay with his friends and it's also to keep away from... It...

• He does have reoccurring nightmares that always leave him just as terrified as when he first had them, so he's usually afraid to sleep, and he tries to avoid it most of the time

• Sometimes he's prone to mental breakdowns almost so easily it's concerning-

• He has trouble communicating strong emotions, So he usually just isolates himself whenever it's a negative one, like sadness or anger, this does leave the smiling critters worried about him, and he doesn't come out until he finally calms down

• He often reads too much, like, he can read one chapter of a book, and the next day he's read the full series- And he did it all in one night-

• He doesn't really like to communicate his problems to his friends because he believes it's just an inconvenience to them, So even though they tell their problems to him, he doesn't do the same, instead he just bottles it all up, just pretending he's fine

• Whenever The smiling Critters are in a group conversation, he just listens to it like a reddit podcast-

• He forgets to eat a lot, so the smiling critters (Usually Picky Piggy) has to remind him to eat something-

• He kind of has a habit of collecting a bunch of stuff, especially music boxes- If he sees a music box in a store, boom, it's in his collection now

• He has like four siblings, he's the middle child sadly-

• (oldest to youngest sibling ratio) Andy, Andrew, Avery, Annie, and Amy

• He and Andy are the only ones who actually know how to cook in the house, meanwhile Andrew, Annie, and Amy are absolute trash at cooking

• He is terrible at keeping stuff organized, Basically everything is a mess-

• He has a literal collection of ADHD toys that will help him focus

• It's very rare that he has a calm dream for once, And he's often suspicious whenever he does have a calm dream

• He's very good at acting, he already acts like nothing is wrong around his friends so he's good at acting out different characters as well!

• Whenever he plays soccer or something with his friends, he does tend to be careful where the ball lands on him, mainly because the ball had popped a few times because it landed on his antler with too much force-

• in the mornings, he just gets up, and instead of drinking coffee, at this point his cup of coffee is like 99.99999% creamer and 0.00001% coffee

I'll add to this post once I figure out a few more facts that I should add to him

It’s a cooking day! Or anyway it was a cooking morning. 

[ID: Top, an image of Sebastian Stan cooking, labeled “Cooking Day” in my handwriting. Below, images of several things I cooked: pesto, rutabaga latkes, a massive cluster of oyster mushrooms, the stems sauteeing in a pan, the caps shredded and waiting to go into the oven, and beautifully cooked mushrooms in barbecue sauce.]

I’m counting this as my NaClYoHo for the day because I also did a ton of dishes and ended up sweeping, vacuuming, and scrubbing the floor because I found a colony of pantry weevils living in a corner of the kitchen behind the trash. (Later today I will be stopping by the hardware store again to buy some insect traps and maybe say hello to Hardware Guy With The Good Hair.)

I don’t really eat greens so I researched what I could do with mizuna, and there was a pesto recipe that popped up, but I like my pesto recipe better so I used the Almond Pesto recipe in my file here; I subbed in cashews for the almonds and did half basil and half mizuna, which was fine I guess; I’m freezing most of it. It did use up my basil harvest from yesterday. 

The rutabaga I got in the farm share was fresh and clean, and I was looking forward to the latkes, but it started to smell while I was grating it, and when I was frying it the smell was so bad I almost had to leave the kitchen. The edges of the little fried pancakes were fine, but both the texture and the flavor of the middle were awful. I hate to waste food but there was no way I was going to eat them or feed them to anyone else, even if probably the flavor was me being a supertaster and not a general issue with rutabagas. 

Look at that honkin mass of oyster mushrooms I got, though! Truly delightful. I found a recipe for “mushroom pulled pork” that looked good, though I improvised from that framework -- I pulled the caps off the stems, tore them by hand and tossed them with olive oil and a seasoning mix I like, then baked them; meanwhile I diced the stems and threw them in a skillet with some seasoning, water, and soy sauce, steam-cooked them in the skillet to soften them, then sauteed until all the liquid was gone and stashed them for later use. By then the caps were out of the oven so I sauteed them too, adding barbecue sauce and a bit of dijon mustard.

I have to do a grocery run before I can cook anything else, but that’s fine; work is slow today and I’ll slip out to Trader Joe’s at lunch, maybe. In the meantime, podcasts this morning were “Economists Hate Car Dealerships Too” by The Indicator, “Why The Red Wave Didn’t Happen” by The Journal (really excellent, do recommend this episode) and “Murder on the Gulf Coast” by True Crime Obsessed. I also listened to a bit of “Peak Sand” by Planet Money, about beach sand theft, but it was a rerun. I saved it though, I think there might be some kind of plot there for a Shivadh novel at some point.

the big 4 to keep house

its been almost 2 years since I left working outside the home. I've learned a lot about keeping house and managing family life.

I heard on a podcast that if you can move forward with TDL (trash, dishes, laundry) every day, you will be able to maintain a functional home. Maybe not perfectly clean, but functional.

I'm obsessed with figuring out how to spend less time on housework and really just making it more effortless. I want to make progress even if I get interrupted in between tasks (which is highly likely). Here's the order I've been doing these tasks:

Layer #1: trash & recycling. After breakfast I grab a Target bag and walk through the whole downstairs picking up literal garbage. Wrappers, egg shells, paper towels, toddler art (not sorry).

Guess what? If I get interrupted after this layer, at least I'm not living amongst trash.

Layer #2: dishes. This is the one I want to leave for last, but I've realized how important it is. For me, the state of the kitchen is a microcosm for the state of the house. Cooking most meals from home, the kitchen is a war zone. I empty the dishwasher then I collect all dishes from the family, living, and kitchen. After all the dirty dishes are in the dishwasher, I clean the kitchen sink. (This has been the most satisfying result from this whole process)

If I get interruped after this layer, at least I have clean dishes and a place to cook later.

Layer #3: laundry. I've moved to doing one load a day. But not on weekends. I collect the laundry from upstairs, and dirty clothes left downstairs, then put on a load. Then I bring up the load that is dry from the day before and fold it/put it away. It sounds like a lot, but this whole process is probably 10-15 minutes a day.

If I get interrupted after this layer, at least we have clean clothes and don't have dirty clothes laying around.

Layer #4: everything out of its place. I added this layer myself. Now is the time to put the toaster away, replace the couch cushions, help toddler put toys in shelf, etc. This one is honestly my last priority because I know that the main beasts (trash, dishes, laundry) have been slain. But it does feel nice to return everything to order.

I skip some layers on the weekends: laundry and everything out of place. I really can't skip trash and dishes. Without clean dishes, I have no motivation to cook!

This sounds like it would take a long time each day, but each day that I do it, it gets shorter and shorter. Plus, I only do this process once a day. I am not a night cleaner. Morning is when I have my best energy for these types of tasks. I have no qualms going to bed while the house is messy.

What are the tasks you have to do every day to keep your household running?

[deathlygristly]

Was listening to a kdrama podcast earlier this week and the hosts were going on about being "cishet women" and how their families didn't notice their cooking and housework.

Me, with a nominally male spousal person who does all the cooking and cleaning and I just vacuum, take the trash cans back after they're picked up, and take the cart to the corral after he puts the groceries in the trunk: Huh. Am I not cishet then, despite being neutral about my reproductive organs and hormones and being married to a person with the opposite reproductive organs and hormones?

10 Rad Black Money Experts To Follow Right the Hell Now

Rich and Regular

There’s a reason Julien and Kiersten’s blog is at the top of this list. If you’re looking to read one blog by a black couple seeking FIRE (financial independence, retire early), this is the one. They are exactly what’s on the box: charming, relatable, down-to-earth people who are also admirably transparent about their inspiring successes and rare failures. If I were building my fantasy neighborhood (which is like fantasy football, but for people who can’t leave their houses due to global pandemics), R&R would live no fewer than three doors down from us and we would catch all the neighborhood poop bandits together.

And if their blog isn’t enough for you, watch their show, Money on the Table. It’s part food porn, part #relationshipgoals, and 100% helpful if you struggle to communicate about finances. Julien can cook for me any time!

Paychecks and Balances

Rich Jones is a national treasure. His Paychecks and Balances blog is only rivaled by his podcast, The Mental Wealth Show. Some would say his swoon-worthy voice alone makes his podcast worth listening to, and they would be correct, yet they would also be fools! For this millennial money expert constantly delivers fresh takes on the real financial concerns of our generation. He is uncannily good at finding interesting voices to interview. (And I’m not just saying that because he had us on, though he did, yes we’re cool.)  More than half of the folks we’re highlighting today have been on his show.

I so deeply admire this amaranthine goddess that I got purple hair extensions to match hers AND I’M NOT SORRY ABOUT IT. Purple (as we are blessed to call her) writes about finance, traveling the world, achieving financial independence, and delicious food. Would you like to hear about how she’s retiring at thirty—yes, thirty, that number with the three up front and a zero at the back?? Yeah, you’d better! She is candid, courageous, methodical, and utterly aspirational.

Michelle is Money Hungry

Have you ever been so intimidated by a person’s aura of having-their-shit-together that you can’t decide whether you want to be them or be friends with them? Yeah, that’s how I felt when I beheld Michelle Jackson for the first time. This smart, thoughtful woman writes and podcasts about finance, debt, entrepreneurship, frugality, and all things money. Her ability to give speedy, helpful insights into current events makes her an invaluable follow. (Her ‘Rona coverage = without peer.)

Are you looking for the friendliest, bubbliest, sweetest person in personal finance? Good news, you found her. Miriam is a great everywoman money writer, as ambitious as she is easy to relate to.

If you come to BGR for our embarrassingly deep analogistic reads of financial wisdom through 90s pop culture, all five of you should leave now to read Miriam’s blog.

My Debt Epiphany

Chonce Maddox started her blog to document her journey out of debt. Over time it became the heckin’ inspiring story of her personal transformation and finding purpose. I think she’s a great follow for anyone, but I’d particularly recommend her for someone who’s looking to develop a side gig and/or make money from home. Her listicles are actually good! Trust and believe: in this industry, that compliment is rarer than rocking horse crap.

Money the Wright Way

K. Wright does more than write about personal finance from the perspective of a millennial black woman: she questions conventional advice about budgeting, investing, and the one-size-fits-all approach to financial stability. Personal definitions of happiness are as rare and unique as fingerprints, but it’s easy to get lost in what you’re told everyone should want. She is a great writer for someone who needs help finding that definition and keeping it at the center of all their decisions. I kinda want her to do my thinking for me???

When you dislike Olivia Cooke so much as a person (because she “disrespects” you as a fan), why do you keep talking about her? Sorry, but if she annoys you that much just don’t talk about everything you hate about her.

I really liked your blog but now it’s full of negativity and bad vibes. I’m not trying to be disrespectful towards you. But besides the whole negativity about HdtD actors, i like hearing your opinions etc, and i liked that you were even critical about some stuff. But when it’s only negative things, it’s hard enjoying this blog.

Hmm

Fair and true.

I guess my whole thing is kinda two fold.

It's a frustrating feeling to know - with every fiber of your being - what is about to happen to something you've gotten reattached too whether you like or not and wanted to be or not, and know that you're helpless to stop it cause no one who can understands what's about to happen.

It's almost as if I can see it, as if it's happening right in front of me.

Let me tell you, Nonny, what's about to happen.

Amazon is losing money and prestige on "Rings of Power". They know they've been humiliated by HOTD and their studio head just got a hit piece written about her in "The Hollywood Reporter. Trying to save face, and bloody the competition, they'll payoff "Vanity Fair" and other "Journalists" to smear "House of the Dragon" in order to boost "Rings of Power". These trash Journos will use rage bait to knock out the core fanbase of HOTD and turn the audience against one another.

They'll use Olivia Cooke and Emma D'Arcy's activism as a catalyst to do so, knowing that both are too stupid to understand what they'll touch off. When they do press for Season 2, a Journo will ask about Feminism and Patriarchy, and how it relates to today and even fan responses. Cooke and D'Arcy will be lulled by their indifference to the fanbase and show and be hyped up for a chance to virtue signal and will insult and belittle men and fans by claiming fake victimhood in ordinance with their bimbo feminism.

The fans will retaliate ten fold, going hard at the actress on Twitter and Youtube - Conservative and Independent media on social media will excoriate them and it will be a huge Culture War story. Cooke and D'Arcy will double down and lash out. Then, the media that started the whole thing will release dozens of articles saying that HOTD fans are misogynists and Transphobes.

That's when fans will organize and boycott, while Twitter bots and stans defending Cooke and D'Arcy will create a toxic environment that drives normal people away from the show. Youtube heats up with negative videos and take downs of Cooke and D'Arcy that creates animus till a majority of people - former viewers - will actively root for the show to fail. And when the entire show's reputation is in shambles and the fandom tears itself apart. That's when Warner comes in and cancels HOTD.

And why?

Cause the two people who should care the most are too dumb and self-absorbed to see that they're about to be the Typhoid Marys' that will be used to destroy the show and the fandom.

There's something haunting, futile about it, stony in quality - as if it's already happened and we're just waiting for the Stone Burner to go off.

I just find it harder and harder to stay positive about something that I really did enjoy that is built with cracking and crumbling foundations. I've seen Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and DC Comics - things I loved deeply - ruined by the same type of people that are now in key places of HOTD and I was already burned badly by the way that "Game of Thrones" ended. Believe it or not, I was once on several "Game of Thrones" podcasts and a regular - and sometimes major contributor - to fan media at GOT's height. And I brought that same enthusiasm to HOTD when it was getting good around 1x03.

But lately, I'm seeing a coming repeat of Season 8 of "Game of Thrones" but worst - much worst. Cause at least the actors of "Game of Thrones" actually cared about the fanbase, and cared about the characters they played. I just don't see it that way with this cast. I don't think you'd see Coster-Waldu, Gwendeline Christie, Kit Harrington, or even Emilia Clarke, disparage their character or the fans. They had a passion for the show and their work. Most of these new actors just see HOTD as a stepping stone to something else or an excuse to go drunk-fooling with other cast members.

They're certainly a far cry from the professionalism, class, and charm of the Downton Abbey cast - who I could watch all day.

But, I think you're right Nonny. I've let my growing bitterness of what will most likely be inevitable cloud my ability to see that I've let off a bit of too much steam lately. And while being a cynical person and extremely hardboiled about people and life in general, I should probably reel it back in ... or at least as much as I'm capable of in my old age of 33 years - which is ancient on this site.

Though, to be fair, I have 84 Asks piled up since my birthday in late-December and a lot of them are either hate toward me personally or people as cynical as I am about the show. So, it's not like I'm exactly fielding any positive energy out here.

I'll do my best to reign it in, but I also have asks to answer and I'm gonna be honest as I can be. No bullshit, not ever. So, if people ask, I'm gonna tell them how I feel.

You can either live with that ... or you can't.

It’s the government and corporations she doesn’t care about.

History: Bex was born in Bonneville, Pennsylvania to the McQuoid family, a well-known natural disaster of a family. We'll learn plenty more about Bex as time rolls on.

Likes: Her dog and cat, animals, money, cooking, baking, discovering new recipes, trying new foods, working out, being outside, collecting cookbooks, tattoos, and reading

Dislikes: The government, cops, debt collectors, working customer service, amusement parks, almond milk, and being seen as “soft”
