Trivia usually ends around 9:00-9:15. We started getting ready for bed at 8:36. I’m so glad we decided to stay home! 🥱

Last night as I fell asleep I realized that our annual eggnog making on Halloween (so it’s ready for the holidays!) should be bumped up by a few days since I have surgery on the 28th. It will be a relaxing, peaceful, and fun thing to do before surgery. #eggnog

Can you believe it? It’s a bi-weekly trivia night at our favorite place Oldspeak Bar / The Lit Room Bookstore and we are NOT going! I’m so tired my face feels melty and Ross is also quite tired. This evening, we rest in our quiet cozy home.

I enjoyed an afternoon of embroidery stitching two of the ranunculus blooms! Should I re-do the taller ranunculus? It’s my first snag on the woven rose technique. I was able to work with it pretty well but wonder if I should undo the light orange and stitch it again. Thoughts? 🪡🌸🌼🌸🪡 #embroidery

I chose the Autumn Moon journal for my book club and house project notebook! I cut out the pieces I wanted to keep from my old journal and taped them into this one. Now, it’s time to write down the quotes from Between Two Fires that I want to discuss at this month’s book club! #journal #BookSky

Reading books is great because each night you can check in on your little characters without the risk of seeing a distasteful political meme or 300 advertisements for things you do not need

I’m glad I put a question mark after “hike” for today. I’m still pretty tired but know I’ll greatly enjoy a hike on Friday! My appointment is done and now it’s time to curl up in my new fuzzy blanket and watch Hereditary. A24 is my favorite spooky production company, along with Blumhouse. #rest

Another thing that makes lame things better is that wonderful little pocket of pickled jalapeños and cheese the grocery store baker makes in the center of a bagel. It gets crispy on the bottom and is sooooo yummy. I try to save the center for last. Today’s post-grocery shopping bagel was divine. 😋

A girl and her cat. She makes the lame things better! -The grocery store had no ravioli of any kind. How? 🤔 -Construction in the neighborhood (going on almost a year now) had no signage. Dangerous. -Med manager’s office scheduled my bi-annual appointment wrong for the third time! 🐈‍⬛💜🐈‍⬛ #cat #CatSky

Or if you'd rather support authors whose books aren't even being given enough publicity to end up at the top of the banned list, I also have books I highly recommend by asexual and disabled authors. They're not part of the sale, but book banners would still hate them! bookshop.org/shop/shannon...

⭐️⭐️ Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age by Katherine May- With Wintering and The Electricity of Every Living Thing truly delighting me and amazing me, I was disappointed by this book. I wanted to love it. I DID finish it because I am devoted to Katherine May at this point. 📚😭📚 #BookSky

I love our new rug SO much. The texture underfoot is so pleasant, the design is pretty, the material is thick and sturdy, and I haven’t tripped on it once!

Moving through these next few weeks with intentional gentleness, kindness toward myself, & balance. With surgery on the 28th I want to take the best care of myself! Balance is already in motion by putting a question mark after “hike” in my calendar tomorrow since the garage sale week exhausted me. 🫂

I finished this adorable petunia this afternoon! I was only stitching for about half an hour and plan to do some of the roses’ French knots later. But right now I need to lie down and watch a movie. So tired! 🪡🌸🌼🌸🪡 #embroidery

I got new tights. They put TWO seams on the backside. Whyyyyy? I lovvvve the cozy constricted hugging feeling from tights but the seams can bug me. This pair is the closest I could find the the style I wanted but that extra seam is a bummer. I’m hoping they’re comfortable when I wear them. #autistic

I’m about 10% into the book now and it was a clunky way to start that particular tale. It was choppy and bumpy until about 8%, right from the beginning when I turned the page back to see if I missed something because it started with “And”.

With the garage sale done (what a week!!), I can cozy up with my next book, coffee in my pumpkin mug, and my embroidery. I slept until 9:20 AM! Though Juniper and I cuddled from 7:00-7:30, I slept like a log. I might head over to Oldspeak Bar / The Lit Room bookstore for their event later! #BookSky

In trauma recovery I find it's useful to have rehearsed what we're gonna say to ourselves when it gets hard, when Trauma Brain kicks in & makes a "convincing" case that continuing to live isn't worth it. We don't want to be trying to improv that inner support if we can help it.

We struggle. No need to deny it or downplay it. But that's not the only thing that's happening here if we're working our trauma recovery. If we're working our recovery, our pain isn't pointless. We're not just struggling, we're transitioning. Changing. Realistically bodybuilding.

If someone else learned it, we can learn a version of it. Maybe not the exact version they mastered, but our version, that fits our needs & accommodates our injuries. Emotional regulation is realistically figure-outable, even if it doesn't come natural to us. (It doesn't to me.)

Sexual experimentation, identity, history, or preference does not make anyone undeserving of safety, autonomy, dignity, or support in coping w/ something traumatic that happened to them.

The people who don't understand how seriously we need to take emotional regulation & daily goal setting in our trauma & addiction recovery were never going to be our most reliable recovery supports anyway. If they don't get it, they don't get it. Ah well. Work your recovery.

There is no shame in struggling w/ emotional regulation. Truly. It's one of the most complicated life skillsets we humans require, & most of the people we meet every day haven't actually mastered it-- they've just developed various levels of denial & unhealthy "coping."

Trauma recovery isn't built in a day, it's built every day-- w/ small, realistic shifts in how we talk to ourselves, how we direct our mental focus, & how we breathe & use our body. None of what recovery asks of us is beyond us in this moment. Really. Breathe. Blink. Focus.

Our abusers & bullies robbed us of the opportunity to live a little, unexamined life that only required basic, intuitive emotional regulation skills. Sorry, but that option is not on the table for most survivors. We're forced to live, & love, & strive, intentionally, every day.

To get technical, since I bought $13.50 worth of items from my sister (Band of Brothers box set, Chaco’s flip flops, and a bamboo cutting board!), got myself a treat breakfast yesterday and got her a treat drink today, really I made $10.34. I had a great time helping my sister and hangin’ out!

The garage sale is done! I’m so happy for my sister! She has to chop down a tree and tree company quoted her $4,700! 😣 Over the two days, she made $815! Marketplace sales this week were at $300 and she had sold stuff already. She has $1,505 for the tree! I made $33 on stuff I would have donated.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beowulf translated by Maria Dahvana Headley- This was my first time reading Beowulf and I’m so glad I read this translation. The language was approachable and flowed smoothly through my mind. The modern terms that were used here and there delighted me. The story was intriguing! 📚🩵📚 #BookSky
