#coasttimeyear — Public Fediverse posts

Today is the first anniversary of my kitchen. We have officially made it through year one. #Milestones #FoodLife #CoastTimeYear

One year ago we bought a house and embarked on our #CoastTimeYear. I am still trying to get past #ProductivityBrainwashing. Trying to figure out #GardeningWhileOpeningARestaurant. Still learning how to actually have a #BakersDayOff. But my #tablesetting is coming along nicely.

Today is a rest and recuperation day. The body is being very insistent about that no matter what the #BrainWeasels say, although the brain weasels are also feeling very pink and that may be ok. #CoastTimeYear #ProductivityBrainwashing

Today in #insomniaspiration : oh sweet potatoes where should I plant my showy milkweed? #NWNatives #BackyardHabitat #gardening #CoastTimeYear

I have been doing a lot of Things lately. We had a guest over the weekend who is also a builder so we installed Things. Had someone over to help me hang Things on the wall. I make Things at work. Today, I may just enjoy the Things. I will still do Things, but maybe just... Less. #CoastTimeYear

I find humor in the least functional room in the house of our #CoastTimeYear being the kitchen. I would call this an Instagram kitchen; it's nice to look at but it was not designed by anyone who expected to, well, cook.

A normally non lap cat decided to be very snuggly this morning and I am all about it. After all, I am a well trained Human. She's purring away. Yep, going nowhere. #CoastTimeYear #RestIsProductiveJustAskYourPets

As I continue down my #CoastTimeYear I am increasingly wanting to find a local #rockhound with a lapidary saw who will take me agate hunting and cutting in exchange for cookies. #OregonCoast #PowerOfTheCookie #WillBarterWithPies

Today's #tablesettingchallenge : seaglass colors with a cup of sanity #CoastTimeYear #OddHobbies

It's 4:30 am and I am frustrated with not having skills. Of course, if I had them I would probably be woodworking at 4:30 am instead. #CoastTimeYear #insomniaspiration

It's 530 am so obviously right now is when I need to hang stuff on the walls. #CoastTimeYear #insomniaspiration

New guest at the Ridiculous Water Feature and New House Saloon, a Eurasian Collared Dove. #CoastTimeYear #BackyardHabitat #BreakfastTableBirdwatching #birdwatching

Yesterday I rescued an amazing #handknit throw blanket from Goodwill for $8 and not only did the cashier recognize me as a regular shopper who finds good things but they thanked me for saving the blanket. #CoastTimeYear

PSA: it is too early to plant tomatoes outside #CoastTimeYear #gardening #groundhogdayoptimism

I sent a fan letter today. I will definitely be adding that to my #TahDone list. #CoastTimeYear #ProductivityBrainwashing #BakersDayOff

I made myself a cup of tea to drink at home at 745 am on a work day, even put it in a mug not a travel cup. I am so proud of myself. I really wish I could convey the significance of this act for me. #CoastTimeYear #ProductivityBrainwashing

Frost over everything this morning, but woke up thinking about spring garden blooms. Watching sunrise, crab boats on the bay. Giving myself permission to ease in today. #CoastTimeYear #BackyardHabitat #ProductivityBrainwashing

See, this is what I mean. It's 4 am and since I have no agenda I am just fine with being awake. Jellyfish on the TV to keep things low but lit. I will let myself go to sleep naturally but for right now I will just lie here and happily contemplate growing things. #Insomnia #CoastTimeYear #BakersDayOff

A gentle reminder that lawns and weeds are recent human constructs. #CoastTimeYear #BackyardHabitat #bloomscrolling

I mean, seriously, this sunrise. #CoastTimeYear #orweather #OregonCoast

It's official. I have downloaded a birdwatching app so I can learn more birbs. Especially water birbs. I am stupidly excited to officially start my life list. #FestoonYourQuorb #CoastTimeYear #BackyardHabitat

Fun #tablesetting side effect: table is set. Kind of nice for breakfast.
Also, in my personal mythology, charger plates are freaking bollocks, dessert/salad plates are wicked keen and I could use an upgrade to my linens and flatware game #CoastTimeYear #OddHobbies

Today's #tablesettingchallenge bohemian maximalism without buying anything. #CoastTimeYear #OddHobbies #ShopYourStuff

Rye #SodaBread with cheddar and herbs #baking in the oven now. #BakersDayOff #CoastTimeYear

Brain activity high this morning after a very deep almost 6 uninterrupted hours of sleep (surprising for me). Internet still out at home so my plan for the day is to restock the bird seed in a big way and watch #BorbTV all day. #CoastTimeYear #BackyardHabitat #CombatProductivityBrainwashing

So far, nothing much, but the cats clearly want me to hunker in. I am mentally setting my own parameters for staying open and my own safe travels which is very weird for me. After years of "Get There" mentality I have an actual say in the matter. It's a mental debate. #ImpendingWeather #CoastTimeYear

Using the very distinctive How Much Did the Birds Eat? metric we are in for some capital w weather. We're talking quarts of bird seed. Gird your loins. #CoastTimeYear #BackyardHabitat #orweather

Currently 7 visitors on the bird seed. A scrub Jay did fly up, said a hard nope at the crowd and flew off. #CoastTimeYear #BackyardHabitat #BreakfastTableBirdwatching

Decided to invite company for morning #Tea (turmeric, Peppermint and nutmeg) but as soon as I got the tray feeder filled it started to #hail. Currently a break in the storm, we'll see how soon the #JuncoArmy comes to call. #orweather #CoastTimeYear

Many milestones are celebrated in life. Today is #FishermansSweater's first Gale Force Storm. #CoastTimeYear #IrishWool #Knitting #OregonCoast

Was asked early this morning what time my appointment was today, and I don't remember having any. Rather than stress myself out all day about an imaginary appointment that I am forgetting, I am making an appointment for myself now. If y'all could remind me to draw #FancyGuppies at 9:15 that would be great. Also I am thinking about #SodaBread at 10:30. #CoastTimeYear #BakersDayOff

Feeling emotional this #NewYearsDay for our first #CoastTimeYear holiday season. Got a simple message from a customer yesterday that read "You have created community."

It took 50 years and it's always going to be a work in progress but Home always should be.

And honestly, that includes this space. Love, prosperity and health, however you define it, to all of you.

Feeling like baking today, may embrace soda bread and British style beans to go with. If I do that, though, I need to put on pants for Buttermilk. Decisions decisions decisions. #BakersDayOff #CoastTimeYear

Today in surreal #CoastTimeYear moments, I will go to work today and I will more than likely watch people read an article about my restaurant while sitting in my restaurant.

Ended up with goodwill finds on the opposite spectrum of my head but I love this serving plate for 99 cents. Still contemplating the shop at home for filling out the details. Spent $6. #tablesetting #OddHobbies #CoastTimeYear

#CoastTimeYear magic this week came in the form of the guy who showed up at close, moss on his hat, with a rumpled paper bag and asked "I heard you might be interested in buying some mushrooms?". The bag had 5 pounds of gorgeous chanterelles. Yes, yes I am interested.

We opened for business last Thursday and just finished our first full week. It was amazing, terrifying, so much work and wonderful. I am deeply grateful we are closed the next two days. #CoastTimeYear #SoMuchLaundry #WorkLifeBalance

We are soft opening in three days. #CoastTimeYear #WaitingForEggs #NoRestForBakers

530 am and I am already #OutOfSpoons. Please send spoons. #CoastTimeYear #ReadyToBeDoneMoving

First meal in the new place, frozen lasagna and a salad. #CoastTimeYear #WhatCooksEat

Also, grout is a word that sounds like what it is, a cross between "grit" and "ouch". #GroutAndGroutMaintenance #WhyUTileSoMuch #CoastTimeYear #ReadyToBeDoneMoving

We have reached the best/worst time of moving: the time where there is not enough time. Instead of thoughtful decluttering and packing, it is "shove this in a damn box and take it" which means when we arrive and open said box there will be a certain amount of "why the hell did I move a box of 8 year old insurance bills, exactly?" #CoastTimeYear #ReadyToBeDoneMoving

#RidiculousWaterFeature #CoastTimeYear edition, the beginning.

Me, most of the time: "Woohoo I have so many books!"
Me, moving to the new house "Holy sweet potatoes why do I have so many books?" #CoastTimeYear #BoxenOfBooksen

You know it's real when you are hooking up utilities. Have to adjust to the no mail service to the house life. #CoastTimeYear

I wake up to the smell of paint and sunshine against a dark slate colored sky. The realtor is coming over today to assess the chaos. #CoastTimeYear

Money has officially changed hands for the new house which means stepping up this one for sale. It also means there is a definite we will be living on the coast date, so going to be whittling down the "we should eat there" list. Tonight was Eem. It was good. #CoastTimeYear

We... May have a house? #CoastTimeYear #DealingWithPaperwork

It is truly amazing to me how many things we have just made more byzantine in the name of zoning and local bureaucracy. Currently trying to reconcile local height regulations with my dream home vision, which is apparently four feet too tall. #CoastTimeYear

Let's see, did dishes, fed the #sourdough, tonight's #dinner was ravioli in broth and bought a restaurant. So things got done today. #BuryTheLede #CoastTimeYear

We close on the business and get keys today. I just put those words in a sentence. #CoastTimeYear

Tomorrow is my last day at my current job, and then it's full throttle into my own bakery space on the coast. Now if I could just figure out where to live, it would be great. #CoastTimeYear

#Dinner conundrums: do I spend the next month trying to eat lots of food from restaurants that won't be as accessible when we start the #CoastTimeYear or do I save all the money for the projects I have planned when we get there? Notable facts: I am a #virgo

#CoastTimeYear house upgrades for market means today I am trying to reclaim some of my space between projects.
