Tomorrow is supposed to be sunshine all day. Maybe it would have been worth staying for but I wasn’t at peace.

When it looked like the rain was mostly done, I built a fire and made lunch. All afternoon, cars kept driving through the campground, passing by this lone woman eating her campfire pizza. I could not shake the feeling of not belonging. So I packed it all up and came home.

I haven’t been sleeping through the night so I woke up every few hours, no surprise there. I got up around 7 this morning, made coffee, went back to bed. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday morning. When the sun finally broke through the clouds I felt better.

When I arrived, it became apparent I was the only one staying there. Not even a camp host. It felt abandoned. This was very unsettling. I set up anyway, ate my Chipotle in my car, and by 7 it was pitch black so I just went to bed for the night. I didn’t want to draw attention by using a light.

I saw that it would be rainy for the first half. I saw that it would be chilly. But I love being in the forest so I thought, no big deal, I can plan to just cocoon in my sleeping bag and finally read a book.

Thought I could squeeze in one last solo camp trip this year. I’m warm in my bed tonight, feeling weird that I abandoned my site.

I’m going to see Agnes Obel & El Capitan next spring. There will also be time for Japantown stationery shopping. I am so happy!

I have made & will make parenting mistakes. But I must be doing something right because my 13 yo always finds me in the house, plops down, and proceeds to browse on her phone at top volume. My nervous system gets absolutely destroyed but I’m trying to give her what little me needed.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. I had a similar situation last summer. Total misery.

Booked my favorite cabin for my birthday so I can just disappear for a couple of days 😊

My grandparents took me there every summer I spent with them in Ft Collin’s. I remember that road well. The Big Thompson River scared little me.

I went on my first camping trip as a Brownie when I was 7. Outdoor school was my favorite part of 5th grade. I hiked hundreds of miles in Northern CA as a Girl Scout. Then I moved out and ended up with a partner who hates camping. I’m done waiting. I’m camping again and it makes me so happy.

Last time I rented a car it had the keyless start. I stopped to fill up and when I went to leave the fob was not in my pocket. Total panic. Maybe I threw it out? I dug through the gas station trash can. It was filled with trash juice 🤢 and no fob! Finally I checked the trunk and yeah, there it was.

I hope I’m flying down the freeway so I can throw all my confetti out the window at 70 mph

Check engine light went away but the car battery died. Then I went on a little roadtrip the next weekend in a rental car and not 20 miles out of town a rock hit the windshield and it immediately started cracking. $700 repair because I don’t have comprehensive 🥴 Maybe I need to just stay home?

Same. Big breakfast with hot cakes is my favorite. All lunch and dinner stuff just tastes gross now. Even the fries.

This thirty year old shopping list isn’t too far off from a current shopping list 😊

Without the sound on, because I hate listening to him, my brain saw “Oil Pool” and I thought this was a comparison of the size of our oil reserve to the size of buildings. Maybe that will be tomorrow?

I did have a large bag of colorful confetti in my purse for it but this seems so much more appropriate.

Weird year. I keep taking risks and the universe just laughs. First the awful “training” at this new job and now I’m finally getting back into camping. Gonna rain the whole time and my check engine light came on. Maybe it’s always like this? 😬

I have been looking through my stash boxes. It’s very enjoyable but then I get anxious about using it. DUMB I KNOW

I hate it when I see elderly people doing food deliveries.

Seraphina @freckledwings.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

She just told me I get really testy when she has to correct me. She’s just trying to help you know. 🙄 I just said, “Oh I didn’t realize and I apologize.” Not gonna play this game!!! I already tried the self deprecating approach & I feel like that just gave her permission to treat me like an idiot.

Seraphina @freckledwings.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

I… what? All of this. WHAT. I think I have less than 20 shifts with this person left. I can do this, right? Because I want to run away so bad right now. I find myself just wanting to sleep when I’m home so I can hurry this season up.

Seraphina @freckledwings.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Still stressing about my new job 😞 Last week I found a mistake made by the person leaving, confirmed how to fix it, then she told me I did it wrong and that I did NOT ask about how to fix it. I also said I use a paper planner to track important deadlines. Unacceptable. What if I don’t look at it?

My grandparents lived in Ft. Collins. I spent many summers there with hikes here and visits to Estes. Miss it and them terribly.

Seraphina @freckledwings.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

I finished it! Honestly, I’m not sure Bargello is my jam. I still have materials to make another sunglasses holder and Christmas ornaments. Then I think that’s enough for me.

Seraphina @freckledwings.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

I was proud of myself for taking this big leap and expected to be a bit scared. But not like this.

Seraphina @freckledwings.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

Their intense criticism at the start and some other opinions expressed made me realize that they are very much like my mom. Who raised me with zero emotional safety. So what’s really happening is I’ve discovered an unhealed wound deep within me.

Seraphina @freckledwings.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

I deep breathe the whole drive in. I take a lorazepam. I try to do my crafts at night to get my mind off of it. Nothing is helping. There’s seven more weeks of this and that is making me so depressed because I wished for this job. And the job is totally fine. It’s the person leaving.

Seraphina @freckledwings.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

Even though I tell myself that this is temporary, that I’m not in trouble because that’s not a thing, and that paid downtime is very acceptable, my body insists on having a panic attack every night before work and each morning of.

Seraphina @freckledwings.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Making progress! For the first side, I did purple down and coral up. For the second side I am doing a more line by line all up approach. As a x-stitcher, I want the back to be super neat but I’m learning that’s not really how this works. Anyway, I think going up is the best way to soothe my brain.

Awesome rec, I bought the pattern immediately 😍

I have worked 24/26 days this month. It won’t be enough. Not sure I can fully relax to give myself a break this weekend but this is a good start.

At my new job, I’m training while doing the work and taking notes all while at someone else’s computer with their own settings and preferences while they breathe down my neck. It is driving them BANANAS how I am navigating this which is terribly.

Seraphina @freckledwings.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

I am happy to make this sunglasses holder for my friend for her birthday and finally be doing something from my obnoxious hoard of craft supplies. Need to do more of this.

Seraphina @freckledwings.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

I’ve had the materials do this Bargello project for maybe 3 years. It’s easier on my eyes than cross stitch at the moment so I like that. But I’m disappointed to discover how hard on my wrist it is, having to yank the needle and yarn through the plastic canvas.

There're so many talented people with wonderful creative brains & ideas that we will never hear from because they are too busy surviving. There are also so many people who tried and burned out, or were forced to give up their passion to concentrate on making enough money to live.
