It shows everyone that “I’ve made it in life”. Sure, COCO or GUCCIO aren’t available in Buragas but this is easily the next best thing.

I am making peach honey ham for Christmas. Just bought the most perfect dish for it.

Thank you for reading.

It’s has been very difficult coming here for shopping since I bought everything already.

Fucking rad that I can be on the Beemer in the middle of winter. Super sunny but cold (12) but I have all the fancy gear and feel like a warm bear in a bear suit.

However, I’ve gone a little crazy and “off the wall” this afternoon. Visited Costa Coffee instead of Starbucks and asked the cute lady for a squirt of caramel in my espresso. My goodness.

The cheesecake was…only fine.

I had just lived through THE WORST NIGHT OF MY LIFE. I had another stupid toothache (that I wish on nobody but Trump and Putin). I was in so much pain that I think I was crying….it just happened for no reason. No joke..it was bad…really bad.

Started yesterday..just slowly…so I thought to myself I will find a dentist…but, of course, Sunday..and holidays and everything is closed. ZERO sleep I catch the bus this morning (Monday…nice and warm and sunny..almost summery..so there is that) and went to Viva Clinic.

Walked in, the nice lady who knows me immediately told me to go upstairs and knock…I open door…dento-man immediately tells me lie down…he pokes around with his scraper (GRRRT GEERRRRT)…moves some stuff around and fulfills me with a dab of pain killing clove cream. I feel pain gone within a fraction of a second. I pay the 24 Euro bill.

This was exactly 14 hours ago…and everything is still perfect.

DOESN’T MAKE FUCKING SENSE.

Ohhh…I slept all day…it was sooo sunny inside and pleasant….felt like a lazy summer afternoon..but cold out….all 3 cats were sleeping DIRECTLY on top of me….they know when my life is in peril and turmoil.

I’m hooked on hanging out here. 3 minute walk. So cozy and warm and everyone is so fucking nice.

Plus it’s just spotless and smells so nice here..no cigarettes and no weird people sprayed with chemicals.

I’m hooked…..but you’all already know that…

New book is great….

I had to tilt the pizza box so it fits in the elevator like a big screen TV.

Live Love Laugh.

It was awesome!!!

I really need to get more salmon…

..how much a one-person salmon costs here in BG. It was INCREDIBLY fresh and tasty. I could have easily eaten 4.

Now you know why even the simplest dishes at restaurants cost 35+ Leva.

I remember buying whole fish for $6 “back in my days”.

I’ve been shopping and scooterin’. Lots of stuff happening in the coming days….SOOO MUCH COOL SHIT.

If you know…you FUCKING KNOW!! Bulgaria is finally taking out the garbage.

What will they find? Gold coins. Swords? Beer cans?

Outside of Hussein’s, this is the closest place to home and really deserves its (Bulgarian level) 5 star rating.

Open year round.

Credit cards.

Spotless.

No poor people smoking.

No pajamas.

Super warm.

4 minute walk from home.

DID I SAY COMPLETELY SPOTLESS?

Sadly they won’t let the cat in, I did ask.

Poor chubby cat.

…and it was well worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IKEA coming tomorrow…SOOOO MUCH TO DO…SOO MUCH NEW BEDDING to scratch and gnaw.

So at least there is a little bit of good news today. It wasn’t even all that cold.

I am making a carrot and pickle wrap.

I should start a boosting company.

It’s coming from Germany, which means quality.

…to shreds. She doesn’t understand the concept of money.

I need to buy a new cat duvet cover for her ASAP.

..than going to the grocery store. Yes, I bought a beer..just one….I HAD TO…IT’S SOME NEW SHIT AND IT’S DELIGHTFUL.

It’s currently being used as an umbrella dryer. Fuck.

But I am building a new weather station for the balcony…with a whole new sensor…so at least there is that!!!!

Birdie is wishing for summer, beach, and fun fun….
