I’m deleting all the non essential stuff of my phone and that mostly means social media. Why? Because phones and social media in general have been designed to be addictive. Despite the fact that I would love to be a superior human I’m not immune to that. So, I have to stop entirely. ⬇️

My favourite. I could spend hours looking at these gorgeous blooms and all the insects that usually cover them. Truly a gorgeous plant. 💖

I put my monstera’s aerial root in this cow creamer and filled the cow up with water. I’m very amused… quite possibly because I had to take a Zofran today. 🤷‍♀️

I finally picked up this Cd. I haven’t heard it in at least ten years and it’s just as gorgeous as I remember. #cdcollection #music

leucistic male turkey I saw in town today. We have lots of these here. Maybe it’s the winter snowfall or camouflage with the rocks and silvery highish altitude plants? Idk. Pretty though.

Went to an arcade to celebrate John’s bday. My favorite part was the VR game where you rode in a Jeep and bitch slapped dinosaurs. It was pretty great.

I’m alive but I’ve been more interested in reading than social media. My TBR shelf has gotten full. I just finished Death Valley by Melissa Broder. Next, Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino. John biked to work today. I found wild plums while walking the dog & noted it in case of societal collapse.

This is my favourite picture of my cat. It makes me smile. Hopefully, it makes someone else smile too. #cat #blackcat #pets

Ugh…. I need to “break up” with my vegan friend. I’m starting to feel like her harassing me about my dietary choices and not accepting that my CVS makes me unable to have vegetarian proteins is sort of ableist.

Whatever illness I have is really taking a toll on me. I put on a house dress which was slightly too tight 3 days ago and is now somewhat too loose. Be safe out there. Wash your hands and all that.

I think I’ve decided these people might be trying to get us to kill ourselves en masse. That’s why this trauma machine of an administration keeps putting out 30 new devastating things a day. So, I’m going to keep pushing as long as I can to spite them. Still going to arrange a therapist too though.

Every morning I listen to a CD from my collection. Today’s album is Tracy Chapman’s 1992 studio release Matters of the Heart. #music #physicalmedia #cdcollection

We finally found some decent free shelves on Craigslist. I’m neurotic about not buying new things. I have it in my head we (humans) have enough stuff. However I needed some more shelves to make my studio work. I took two months but now I have them! No cost to me no new suffering for others. Woot!

The rise in illiteracy rates here in the US concerns me. I’ve read that one of the driving problems is a decline in people perfectly capable of reading choosing not to. So, I’ve decided to commit myself to reading for an hour everyday. As is I read when I think to but haven’t set a habit.

My dialect quiz. I was born in the Ozarks near Branson so this tracks. I do think that maybe I’ve leaned back into it over the last few years for nostalgic comfort. I don’t have contact with any of my family so maintaining it sort of reminds me of where I’m from.

Scientists and climate activists kept telling y’all but you said we were crazy. Now we’re likely to see our populations and the populations of other species we love decline and/or vanish. Good job people were basically living through a physical embodiment of karma. Strap in.

One thing I didn’t expect when I moved here is how hard the dry air is on electronics. I was listening to a cd when I heard a loud pop then silence. It was my newly purchased stereo receiver, our 2nd since moving here. This reciever might be fixable but the last wasn’t. Static also took our PS3. 🤷‍♀️

I’ve decided that I’m going to offer the things I make for sale at a local venue monthly. I have conflicting feelings about selling things but I can’t hoard a lifetime of art, I want to meet other artists and it would be nice to share the things I make with the physical world again.

I had ice cream for dinner b/c I couldn’t find anything else in the house I thought was suitable. We went to the thrift earlier. Got a stack of books, some cds & a cute wool beret that looks like the top of a green apple. Still grumpy. Idk. Good day bad attitude. Want a cigarette. Don’t smoke. #blog

This app won’t let me post photos tonight. When I try the whole app shuts down. Anyway, I saw a monarch caterpillar on some milkweed and processed some herbs. So, it was a pretty good day.

I have a goal: I want to only go shopping (grocery or otherwise) once a week. I spend wntirely too much time running to and from various stores. Growing up, my parents managed to make do with only a monthly shopping run. So, I can’t imagine we can’t manage cutting back to one weekly.

I have a longing to watch Attack of The Killer Tomatoes today. So, that’s what I’m going to do. The last couple days have reminded me to enjoy things from my past a bit more.

Every once in a while I get overwhelmed with the world, or rather the world as seen through my phone and shut it off for a few months. Last time I did that was a year and a half ago and I think I’m overdue. So, i’m unplugging for awhile. See you on the other side.

I’m very tired. I mean that both specifically due to recent events and generally due to everything else.i just feel a bit raw. I don’t know. Maybe food and rest will help.

John is coming home from training a day early! I was “fine” without him here but it has been lonely… Plus, I didn’t sleep well which caused me to take my emergency meds and as a result slept more than I would have liked. I’m getting the main living space tidy then I’ll pick him up around 5. Woot!

I’ve been enjoying watching my jewel orchid blooms this week. This is the second year in a row. She’s so lovely. So I thought I would share. Sorry about the odd lighting. It’s due to plant lights and yellow bulbs I put in to give my place more of alate 70s to mid 80s feel. #houseplants

Today was a nice day. I went to the thrift, gor a pastry, continued to clean the house, brought Alfonzo to the garden and for a walk. There was a food truck event at the park we went to and Alfonzo received lots of pets from college students some a bit teary eyed from missing their dogs. #blog

I was a bit nervous to have the house to myself but yesterday was very nice. I watched most of Over The Garden Wall, started deep cleaning the kitchen and relaxed. Today I think I’ll spend some time thrifting then come home and work on some art. I hope everyone has a nice day. #blog

I bet if I used a clear enamel and waited until the paper wasps are done with their nests, I could make some pretty cool earrings. I wonder if I can find some dead wasps to position on the nest as if they are protecting it.
