My birthday was this week, I didn't plan for anything, but I got some lovely gifts (including gorgeous roses), met many people I appreciate a lot and didn't cook or bake a single thing. Turning 46 is really just an excuse for eating cake.

This is the looks I get when 10PM snack is delayed. These two don't agree on much, but man... those snacks better be on time, or else. Tibbs even went up to Felix (twice his size) to start shit, so I had to intervene 🙄 #caturdayeveryday #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #petsofbluesky #mainecoon

Maya was calmly eating a paper plate, when some food, and Rocky flew past. Just a normal day in the life ;P #alaskahusky #dog #petsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky #dogs #sleddogs #husky

My outdoor Ryobi-collection is locked in for the summer. I'll bring out the small snow blower when it starts snowing, but we got a huge, electric one now, that I'll be able to use without a struggle.

It is getting colder, so the cats are more likely to form a cuddle puddle 💗 #caturdayeveryday #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #petsofbluesky #mainecoon

There seems to be some kind of campaign against me online. It's ridiculously obvious who and why, because of the timing. The stupidity is mind boggling. I'm not scared, and I can't be more pissed off than I already am, I guess anyone that knows me knows who and what situation this is connected to.

Puppy love is the sweetest kind of love, until their teeth grow out. We hit the sweet spot the other day, and avoided the mauling we most certainly will be subject to next time 🙃 #alaskahusky #dog #petsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky #dogs #sleddogs #husky #puppy #puppies

Demolition of the house that was standing here started March 20th. I set out the first planter box April 21st. Now it looks like this! All ready for winter, just need to finish hanging Christmas lights, before it gets too cold to fiddle with that project. #gardening #garden #vegetablegarden

I'm tired and sad. My house is getting worse and worse, and I hardly speak to anyone anymore, because everyone just wants to know about the house and I just don't want to repeat myself 100 times a day =( It's days like these I really miss having a best friend. Photo of my kitchen today. So sad.

Due to my excessive amount of pepper plants, I had to find a way to use them without them taking up any more freezer space. So I've resorted to drying them to make paprika powder! I did the chilies earlier, with great success. It smells so good here! #greenhouse #gardening #garden #vegetablegarden

Photo from earlier today. At least some things are happening, but we are still trying to fix what has been broken, and the house is in worse shape than it was in September 2025. Don't hold your breath, people. We won't live here for ages.

We just made a decision that will probably take us even further back in terms of finishing this house, but if we don't we'll hate ourselves for it forever. So down into the basement we go again, setting up the fireplaces one more time. The monstrosity of a chimney must go. Ugh.

This is a public service announcement: Hang your yule/christmas lights up BEFORE it gets cold and snowy. I did mine today, brand new stuff for my brand new garden! Photos at night will come, I'm sure it will be extra pretty from where we actually live this winter, across the road 😆

Got my nails done today! Very autumny and fresh. Did it at the spa that is owned and run by the same people that own and run the carpenter that I trust to build on my properties. Today they also delivered a box of pastries at my door. I have NO idea what I would do without these people 💗

We met the softest puppy ever the other day! There will be lots of puppy love in the weeks ahead, but not this sooooooft. #dog #petsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky #dogs #puppy

It's just never-ending with these roofs and useless a-holes. This is under a terrace where we currently live. It's from 2024... The company that doesn't even want to come see what they might have done wrong got a very stern letter from my lawyer today. Consumer rights in Norway are good.

Went to my eye surgeon today, aftercare for my lens replacement last year, and he was surprised I could see much, and astonished that I still could embroider. Obviously I've adapted to having a common issue, just a LOT of it. I was told "a few laser zaps", but I lost count...

My body did not react well to this, my vision is supposed to be perfect tomorrow, but I'm dizzy and feeling crummy, I guess this was more than my body was ready to deal with. Not surprised, but still pissed off, I don't have time to lay around and rest. Didn't consider side effects being an option!

I haven’t posted about our building site in a while now, and there are several reasons for that. I haven’t been very much active or present anywhere online lately. Talking about this on umpteen different platforms and channels just isn’t good for me. So this is what is up:

I’m currently trying to get some things rectified at the house we are currently living in, and the people that have done a shit job previously are very reluctant to even come see the damage they have done. This is not a good idea.

Don’t pick a fight with me, don’t make me nag, because I wont fight or nag, I will just unleash my lawyer. It’s a leaking roof, can you believe it?! It is the safer option for everyone else, because I'm starting to identify as Gertrude in I Hate Fairyland, if you know, you know.

Third: getting everything ready for our legal action takes a lot of time, because we still find new stuff that has to be included in the paperwork. Fourth: we spend way too much time and effort on juggling everyone involved in this project at this point. This is what we DID NOT WANT TO DO.

Fifth: Cost. We are by no means broke or in debt. Let me be very clear about that, we are NOT struggling financially. But another $50 000, just for that new roof situation? It SUCKS. I could have done a lot of good elsewhere with that money.

First: I’m so tired of this shit. I can’t believe we are still not actually adding to the house yet, but are still in the process of tearing down what hasn’t been done right. It is still in worse shape than it was when we started.

Second: we are lucky to be alive. Yeah, let that one sink in, ladies and gentlemen. Had there been a lot of heavy snow this winter, while we were living at home, the roof would probably have fallen on our heads. The sounds on windy nights that made me worried? I should have fled.

PUPPIES! These are SikkSakk's puppies, one of the dogs from our litter 3 1/2 years ago. We are not getting any of them, but we will definitely do our part in socializing and loving them up over the next weeks 💗 #alaskahusky #dog #petsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky #dogs #sleddogs #husky

Fatigue-season started today! At least I had to lay down somewhere pretty. The photos are taken upside-down, my phone saved them right-way-up 🙄 At least nobody saw me and tried to "help". People making a fuss really does not help at all! #chronicpain #spoonie #fibromyalgia #fibrofighter

Tried something new with Rufus today, put on his harness and a new tracking collar, and tied him in a long rope leash in the garden. He got stuck about a bazillion times, but enjoyed himself and I could do other stuff. #caturdayeveryday #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #petsofbluesky

I'm dealing sharp pain where my neck, back and right shoulder meets, that I can't figure out. It doesn't make sense that I can garden for hours with no pain, then go inside to eat in AGONY, and no pain again when back in the garden after. I also can not just walk without added pain, nor sit upright.

I spruced up the area around the front door, now that it's actually possible to make it look good and not like I tried slapping makeup on a pig. My vocational training as a decorator finally at use, well worth the three years of schooling, right? 😀

The #garden is winding down, mostly peppers left in the #greenhouse now, and potatoes. I haven't even started on the actual potato patch yet 😬 Felix guards the ones in the cellar, if he is allowed #caturdayeveryday #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #petsofbluesky #mainecoon #vegetablegarden #gardening

I mean... you know... I don't want to talk about it, really. Could we start building soon? Like... not tearing down, but actually adding to what was there before and not just rearranging it and ripping up things from under a year ago? Please? I know they are doing good work, I'm just so tired.

Took SikkSakk (one of the dogs from our litter 3 years ago) to the vet to count puppies! Looks like there is 5 of them in there =) She is big as a whale and all smiles! We just get the good parts of this deal, puppy cuddles! #alaskahusky #dog #petsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky #dogs #sleddogs #husky

One of the reasons of my absence from Bsky is this project. I've emptied out most of the kitchen (everything not under the counter) for disassembly, since we have to change the roof due to water damage. It pisses me off. And I've done it by myself. Ugh.

It's been a rough, sad and extremely busy few weeks. It's not going to be less busy from now on, but at least I've had a great time this weekend, and now I don't have any other options than to take it easy, as autumn already hits us hard. #chronicpain #spoonie #fibromyalgia #fibrofighter #fibro

Check on your Norwegian friends today. Our king seems to be dying, and this hits us hard. He is not just a king, but the grandfather we all need. We are NOT OK! 🥺😫😳

What to do when you are too busy? Drop everything and visit PUPPIES! No, nope, nooooo. We are not getting one. If I was to take one home it would have been their mother anyway, she is so sweet! #alaskahusky #dog #petsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky #dogs #sleddogs #husky #puppies #puppy

So busy these days, I hardly ever touch my laptop. Just spent over 1 1/2 hours getting on top of things in my inbox. The kitchen has tons of projects from the garden, and animals "helping". #caturdayeveryday #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #petsofbluesky #mainecoon #alaskahusky #dog #dogsofbluesky
