FYI: Netflix is getting on my nerves after a two week binge of nothing new.

11 Thoughts And Questions You Have When You're Stuck At Home In Bed
UNSW

Ever thought staying at home in a bed for a few weeks straight would be fun? I mean there's Netflix, youtube, online stores, and TV at your beck and call while lying in a bed for two weeks or more. I thought it wouldn't be too bad and at first, it wasn't. There is only so much Netflix and not being able to do things for yourself before you start to go stir crazy and have weird or unexpected thoughts while you are stuck at home.

1. Why did I decide I need surgery?

I have asked myself this question multiple times the past two weeks because really who needs a ligament to keep their ankle in place? Not me pfft.

2. Who invented Leggings.

I have never been a leggings fan but here recently that's all I can comfortably wear besides Sofie shorts with a boot that goes up to my knee.

3. I wonder what my dogs think of me as I ride an office chair just to go to the bathroom.

I have shouted "Watch out pups!" way too many times as I zoom (more like awkwardly shuffle) to the bathroom or living room on my spinning office chair to be normal.

4. Why do stores have to have online stores and sales when I'm broke and can't move.

STOP THE SALES PLEASE. Or you know just don't show them to me? I have added way too many things to my cart and have yet to check out. Online shopping while stuck in a bed is a bad, bad habit to form.

5. That picture frame is crooked and I must fix it. Next week.

All the frames in my room no longer look straight. I swear when I get mobile again they will need to be fixed because it's driving me mad!

6. The dude who created goldfish crackers was literally a genius.

Best. Recovery. Snack. Ever. Especially the extreme blast cheddar. YUM.

7. Why in the world is my room this color?

I have stared at this wood paneling way too long. get me another color, please!

8. Saying words so much you don't even know if they're real anymore.

You know when you look at a word or a name and say it so much or hear it and see it, it just kinda seems fake? That happens a lot when you look at the same five Facebook posts or anything when you literally have no social interaction besides your mom and dad.

9. Wiki/Google searches gone deep.

Let us not talk about my recent history. It's not embarrassing by no means unless you count a number of google searches I've done on Cole Sprouse and Degrassi embarrassing. Let's just say I got bored and move on yeah?

10. What crazy crafting thing can I try to get into now?

My Pinterest has four new boards and I have started about eight new projects in my head. It doesn't help that I got a new Cricut machine and a new love for quilting.

11. When can I escape?

Do you hear that taunting thing called freedom? I never realized how much I enjoyed staying on the go until these past two weeks. Freedom is calling my name and I am ready to escape this house!

There are probably more thoughts and questions I have said throughout these last two weeks that were less normal but to be honest, my memory is crap and I'm not 100% sure what day it is anymore. This is what happens when you're on bed rest or have surgery and can't put any weight on your foot.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
