So, yeah. Life. Things. My life is kind of low key exploding right now and I'm struggling to keep up. I'm trying to stay busy to keep my mind from dwelling on bad shit, but then I get overwhelmed by the busy... I can't win. But I'm trying. And I'm still fighting.

I attended a protest today at the NH State Capital. It was absolutely freezing, so I didn't take many pictures (my hands were firmly in my pockets with my hand warmers). But there were about 50 people there at 6 pm. It had been going since noon. (cont)
A group of protesters in a city square at night. Everyone is bundled up in winter coats. Some carry signs. Protesters in a city square at night. There's a stone archway visible behind some of them. Everyone is bundled in winter coats. Some are holding signs.

I've been lacking in motivation and creative juice for a lot of reasons. Today I was finally able to finish my craft desk reorganization.

Tomorrow, the jewelry making resumes!

Also, bonus appearance by Izzy, forcing me to stop by taking my chair.

#catsofbluesky #crafty #desk
A desk covered in organized craft supplies. From left to right: -A white and clear drawer system with rainbow colored beads visible. On top are a rainbow pen holder and a white paintbrush holder. -A black cube-like unit, three cubes tall. The top two cubes are mostly books and papers. The bottom has a small clear drawer sorter with multicolored charms visible. In front of that is plastic bead sorter with charms inside. -A salmall wooden set of drawers with a few odds and ends on top A top down photo of a gray and white tabby cat on the seat of a chair. She's sprawled on her side looking up at the camera.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

"Me and my shadow."

Sorry it's blurry, I had to snap this quick before they moved.

A tabby cat sitting in front of a black cat on a white floor. They're sitting in the same position so it looks like the black cat is the tabby cat's shadow.

You know what this means? I took my pills every day last week!

I'm taking victories where I can and so should you. It's not always about the big things.

Spent the day running a few errands and helping relocate my Mom's cat. She's been in an assisted living place recovering from a procedure. A great friend of mine is taking the cat in so she's not alone anymore. The process was trying... For a lot of reasons.

Full day of mandatory overtime complete. My hips have been hurting for days which is sapping my creative energy. I was debating pushing through and making some jewelry when I felt a gentle brush against my leg.

My cat woke from a dead sleep to come herd me to bed.

I listened.

Look at something cute.

I feel like I should acknowledge something...

My full time job is with Amazon Pharmacy. Yes, Amazon has historical been problematic. I see the articles about Amazon removing protections and DEI content.

However, Amazon Pharmacy is separate. I can confirm that all of us who work for AP are safe.

In the midst of everything nightmarish and stupid, I'm taking a page from the book of Dale Cooper. Every day, I'm going to try to give myself a present.

Today it's in the form of a cup of coffee from my favorite coffee brand (Copper Cow), in one of my favorite mugs.

Just found out I have to work 6 days a week for 3 weeks... I may work from home but that's still a lot for someone fighting a Long-haul COVID flare up and trying to live a life outside of work...

In times like this it’s good to do little things for your mental health. Go for a walk. Yell into the abyss. Eat a cupcake. Do your little turn. On. The. Catwalk. Yeah, shake your little tush on the catwalk.

I'll be selling at a Spicy "After Dark Market" next weekend. My usual inventory doesn't quite fit the bill.

These, however...

Two sets of earrings laying on a wooden surface. They have charms that look like a mouth biting the lower lip. Hanging below are "adult" charms censored with cat and monkey emoji respectively.
