Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Hobgoblin!! we went for Liz’s birthday! It was years ago. And Liz and I went back this past year and it was nice, but you’re right, the drinks are weird.  110
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 28/09/2026we have a smitten kitchen kabocha squash recipe that we're OBSESSED with. We're cooking it for the first time this season this week! 110
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 27/09/2026>I cleaned out the front closet, including sorting through & cleaning out all of our purses, I swapped out all our shoes/boots for the season, I organized my sock, underwear, and tank top drawers, AND I did yoga. It all feels GOOD. SUNDAY. 2100
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 27/09/2026we had a hugely relaxing Saturday and then Sunday came and my whole body was OVER relaxing. I ran, I finished watching History of Sound (beautiful, queer, heartbreaking, and lovely all at once), we swapped closets for the season, we rearranged art, we put up new pictures in our hallway gallery, 190
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Yessss nothing like a good Sunday clean out! 110
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 26/09/2026(Tomorrow is: both of us need to run! Then swapping closets for the season. Hanging pictures! lunch prep for the week. possibly an estate sale! making a new dessert L wants to try!) 090
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 26/09/2026very very chill nor'easter Saturday. we've gone for two walks (in between bouts of rain, it was nice!), read, napped, had soup & grilled cheese for lunch, I did some scrapbooking I've been putting off, and we made stock out of a chicken carcass! Next up: chicken noodle soup, couch time, & a show. 1170
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 26/09/2026That’s exactly what happened to us! Max was in the backyard and we were convinced that he inhaled a piece of wood or something. He scared the crap out of us. I’m so sorry you’re going through. This dogs are the best. But also the most problematic.  000

Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Nooooo! I hope you’re OK. This does not sound good. All good healing thoughts your way  010
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Oh no! Kennel cough. It sounds awful, but Max was completely unperturbed by it. We were the ones who were upset. I hope that Ziggy gets well very very soon. It’s like little kids in daycare with ear infections.  210
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 25/09/2026happy happy birthday, friend!! It sounds like a LOVELY day. 010

Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It’s so sad we never gave a small dog any toys at all. 0220
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 22/09/2026> the better. and IDK HOW you get out the door that quickly, partic with a DOG! AMAZING! 110
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 22/09/2026it's SO IMPORTANT. Like, I like to have EVERYTHING I possibly can set up for the WEEK, which makes worm-care even easier. Sundays are for laundry & putting together sets of work out clothes, and sorting out all the vitamins for the week, and doing all the lunch prep. The less to do during the week> 110
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 20/09/2026it looks so good! And, like, completely natural - like it was always supposed to be that way! 210
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I am so so sorry. I just started crying on the couch with L. What a good cat. What a wonderful life he had. He was so lucky to have you. ♥️ 130
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 19/09/2026oh INTERESTING. we are into nilla wafters in general. I gotta seek out the mini ones! 011
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 18/09/2026(…not ALL our booze. Just the booze that have been left behind it many many many parties over the years. I’m still me.) 0120
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I AM SO GLAD TO BE RID OF IT. There were some very nice bottles of wine in there! But there was also red slushy wine coolers  100
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 18/09/2026UNLOADED ALL OUR BOOZE TO THE SISTER OF A FRIEND I AM FREEEEEE 5340
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 14/09/2026>them as an adult and SHE clearly read them, but I never did. I was reminded of them recently via a Scholastic Book Club post, and read Spiderweb for Two in one sitting today and it was absolutely PERFECT. I am so excited to have new-to-me Elizabeth Enright books in 2026. 190
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 14/09/2026(reading: my sister and I were obsessed with Elizabeth Enright's Melendy series growing up but now I'm 53 and somehow I had never read Spiderweb for Two OR the Gone-Away Lake books OR Thimble Summer. I remember being aware of them but they never did it for me. I own them all, b/c my sister bought> 150
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I DO love that idea! I bet a lot of us have a similar problem. HMM. 010
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 14/09/2026>with my dad, L had a great sister talk, we both napped, L did lunch prep and made us a tremendous dinner, I read an entire book while lying on the couch & drinking tea, and it poured outside the whole time. BLISS. 160
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 14/09/2026what a perfect Sunday. We had my beloved Nan visit yesterday, and a LOVELY night with her and our BFFs, then today was rainy and gross and we went to get the new covid vax, and other than that - god. I had a lovely treadmill run, I did 2 loads of laundry, we changed the sheets, I had a great talk> 1170
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 13/09/2026right?? I wish there was a (legal) way to ship it! 010
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I have TRIED but one of the reasons I have all of this is THEY offload it onto ME. 000
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I keep thinking about that! Our old place, I would leave it outside overnight. It would be gone in the morning. But we had a higher traffic area there. I feel like I could get in trouble handing out free alcohol on a campus. I do like the trick-or-treating idea, though! That’s a really good one!  110
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 13/09/2026That’s a good point about the beer. We are coming up on soup and chili season. The wine though, Chardonnay has such a strong flavor that L doesn’t like to cook with it.  110
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 13/09/2026that was my next step, after this post! To just do a few at a time until it's gone. but right?? the RELIEF of them being gone may be worth the waste. 011
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 13/09/2026>place drinks it. Is there ANYTHING I'm not thinking of? It feels BAD to waste it, but I gotta get it out of the house. 620
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 13/09/2026>bring myself to dump it out, but it's taking up space in the basement fridge and making me unhappy. but! it's decent booze! I don't want it to go to waste! But you can't legally give booze away on the internet, and no one local wants it (I don't think??), and no one who comes to parties at our> 120
Educational Beaver @traceynick.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I have a weird problem and I keep thinking there HAS to be something I'm not thinking of to solve it. We have a lot of alcohol in the house that we will never drink. Several bottles of chardonnay. A lot of double IPAs, which are not my jam. A great deal of White Claw that no one drinks. I cannot> 330
