boy #1: I think the dog stole a joint. Do we need to take him to the vet? me: YOU GOT HIM HIGH? boy #1: No. But he is a thief. me: It explains why he ate a lemon tree again AND stole a peanut butter sandwich from the counter. He's asleep in your room, I think.

I saw a typical tree squirrel on the porch! First time ever. We usually get ecoli-plagued ground squirrels, sooooo... 🤷

It just breaks my withered heart that I can't be out with the trees and rivers. I have to give instructions to boy #1 about what needs to be done. And he does it with no questions but no thoughts. #animism

Went through the back of my closet and found 30 years of never-finished paintings. And now I'm wondering why and what i was thinking.

I apologize for sharing this again but I’m currently in danger of losing my hotel room. Both me and my mother are homeless with nowhere to go. She is physically disabled with severe mobility issues. Any shares or help are appreciated beyond words. 💙

I was able to lift my legs and cross them to tie my shoes. Doesn't sound like much, but I'm excited. #StrokeRecovery

The latest AARP headliner is an article about how easily your brain heals after a stroke. I'm calling bullshit. I'm seeing no benefits after 6 months.
