Sometimes it's ok to buy dumb shit if it makes you happy. While I was high I bought a pair of Alpenflage M70 combat trousers. They were just calling out to me. Had to get em. No idea what I'll wear em with.

        I tried one of those out and it just wasn't for me. Felt good enough for sleeping, but I kept getting frustrating trying to move the thing around

        However, I did get one of those king size korean faux-mink blankets, the kind that weighs like 10 pounds simply due to its sheer size. I fucking drown in it every night and it's the best :comfy:

    A chicken and three kittens showed up at our door recently.

    We've been buying lots of cat and chicken toys.

        We live in a rural town, surrounded by farms and ranches.

        We asked around and no one had this chicken breed. Could have been a child's show chicken. Dunno. We fell in love with her. Her name is Rashelle.

        The kittens belonged to a young starving momma cat that showed up in our yard. They were very sick and she was very thin so we snagged them to make sure they lived through the winter. One of us used to work with cats, so we are prepping them for adoption. We have two girls and boy. The boy may stay with us as he seems very shy and might have trouble adjusting.

        We are going to vlog about Rashelle a bit, she's very entertaining.

      This is the same reason I recently bought a Furby. My poor cat despises it though

      Hell yeah, that's my only recent splurge as well. And now that I see they're adding more deluxe content I may be splurging on it a little more soon.

    waterpik, it's been amazing, this is the best my oral hygiene has been in an embarrassingly long time. It's actually really fun and satisfying to use and doesn't fuck with my sensory issues the way that pretty much every other oral hygiene thing does

    Haven't bought anything in months.

    Last non-essential thing I bought was a keychain flash drive that uses USB-A and USB-C. Now I carry 4 bootable Linux distros everywhere I go. 😎

      I had a bunch of bootable drives with filesystem partitions in them in college because I hated the system they had. One of those virtualized windows environments with everything stripped down.

      They didn't lock the BIOS on any of the computers though, so I could just boot from a thumb drive and go to town.

    I bought a pokemans card booster pack for the first time in decades and scored a rare card worth like $40 from a $6 booster pack
